Congrats, Chiclet! Definitely seek out support groups, etc., for help with nursing issues. These boards are, of course a great resource too. Without the combo of BDC boards and Baby Cafe in Melrose I more »

Forum Post: Vaccines?
Glad to see so much good sense on these boards. We've followed the standard schedule but I have known people whose kids are particularly sensitive the vaccines (fever, pain, etc.) who did the go-back- more »

Happy Mother's Day, all! We struggle to balance, too, though I got to sleep in yesterday, DH made me breakfast, and DS napped for a whopping 3 hours in the morning. Of course, he slept that long becau more »

Med - Congratulations!! So glad to hear that everything is going well with DS so far. I wish I had advice regarding DD, but it sounds pretty normal from what I've heard of siblings' reactions to new b more »

Glad to hear most of you are waiting until 2 or 3 for the dentist. I read somewhere you should start within a year of the kid getting his/her first tooth but the idea of DS sitting in a dentist's chai more »

Clc, my DS gained less than a pound between 9-12 months, and the doc wasn't concerned at all, though I was initially just as surprised/concerned as you are, especially since he's small, too (20 lbs at more »

Thanks Fram and Rama. DS isn't attached to any particular lovey yet, but he has fun with stuffed animals. I like the quiet toy idea, too. The thing with playing in his room is that he is beyond obsess more »

Poppy, DS wasn't crawling until after 10 months, and I think it was a good month or so later before he was pulling up. Always worth asking the pedi if you're worried, but I think he's still well withi more »

Summer, ditto to all the eating advice. It helps me to read this stuff again, too, because DS (14.5 mos) is still a finicky eater at best. He, too, does better at daycare, and he will love something o more »

Wow, ml! I just saw a breaking news headline that they have a photo of a possible suspect...wonder if it's the same one. I need to stop checking news sites every 5 minutes...

Glad all who have checked in are okay. We are, too, though I turned down free tickets to sit in the bleachers at the finish line. So glad I didn't go. We had a team running for the nonprofit I work fo more »

Winter, DS was sick and grumpy Friday so I didn't dare take him shoe shopping, but hopefully we'll go next week. Will let you know how it is! Re: jeans on kids, I think they're just saying what we all more »

Aww, I remember Stride Rite when I was a kid, too! Maybe I'll check out the Watertown outlet -- I definitely need someone to help me out with the first pair, so no ordering online like I do for everyt more »

Hey ladies, I'm looking for general advice on a couple clothing things. First: shoes. DS (almost 14 mos) isn't walking quite yet, so we have been putting him mostly in booties, since I saw no reason t more »

How can I tell if it's a yeast infection? DH said it looked like it had gone down this morning. Worst patches were still red, but they were smaller and DS didn't seem to mind being changed. I will def more »

Thanks so much, Winter and Nov! This is just so weird b/c he barely ever had any problems with it before -- just a little rash here or there that would usually go away with one bout of Desitin. The on more »

KAM - DS needs to eat too early for us to have family dinner, though we're trying to work toward that. He does do slightly better when there's more going on around him, though not always. I have been more »

Luv, congrats on the move! Fram, I love (well, don't totally hate doing) Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. It's quick but intense. 20 min workout, so easy to fit in and still feel accomplished. I should more »
Haha, Clc, I was the same way when we left DS with my parents. We had lived it up and stayed out past 2 a.m. (!) but I was still up at 7:30 wondering how long I had to wait to wake DH so we could go g more »
