I don't see any problem in letting him have a comfort object that doesn't cause harm (like a pacifier or a thumb sucking). I generally believe that he will give it up when he is ready. He has been through very difficult times and it's so nice to have easy comfort and peace in something that does...

So sorry you are going through this!! When I read your posts I think about what an excellent job you would do in a ministry helping girls avoid sexual temptation. You have such a story to share about the damage sex outside of marriage does and what a beautiful thing sex inside of marriage is. I...

Oh Canadia! So sorry to hear all you are going through!! So much. Huge (((((hugs))))) for you. I'll be praying fervently for you and your baby to make it through this safely to return home with Lex quickly. I don't have answers to any of your medical questions but I hope others who do will be...

Kathy, OUCH!! I hope you get a clear report and heal quickly. You are much too mobile to be hobbled up with crutches.

Truly sad! On all counts. Begging for sponsors or putting your parents at risk with a second mortgage are all selfish and ridiculous ways to start a new marriage IMO. My DH and I saved and paid in full for our wedding 100 percent PLUS paying for hotel rooms for his family (including being...

I so agree about the teeth thing. My little guy popped his first two teeth together at 3 mo 3 days. I think that was the number one sincere question I got from people: How can you do that (BF) when he has all those teeth?/Are you afraid he'll bite you. He teethed so early that he did have a...

As others have said only way this would work would be if she is nursing another. I have a friend who tandem nursed. She is a member here. Maybe she will chime in. As they slow down it dries up. Most kids get too busy for BF and prefer the speed of sippy cups so they move on. I think we have...

I am a very modest person. BF in public is not flashing your breasts around. This is where those slings come in handy and so do well designed nursing outfits (or loose tops). Baby covers the areola, you take care of the rest. Never had a concern or complaint and had a very quiet and contented...

I also want to ask: Who do you think should be able to decide when a child should be weaned from Breastfeeding? I read the comments suggesting timelines for weaning When a child can speak... My son first spoke at 4 months and could ask for "muk" when he was 7 months. He spoke in sentences...

I breastfed my son to age 3.5. I believe in child-led weaning. It was a quite normal and natural thing in our family. My mother and mother-in-law each breastfed their children until the child was ready to wean. For both of them the last child breastfed till age 4. Some children much less but...

How does a first visit typically go? I'd like to visit a couple of places and compare them in person.

Still researching what you all have recommended. I have another question. We believe life begins at conception.... did any of you choose your RE with consideration for how he handled issues relating to this?

So far everyone has a different RE both here and at a fertility board I am a member of. Does anybody have a "don't go to this one" story? I like how InVia explains things and gives their stats as well as Advanced Fertility. Seems a hard thing to shop for and not sure how much stock to take in...

So sorry for your loss! Such a tough weekend and for kids losing their lifelong pet is devastating. Prayers for all of you as you heal from this emptiness.

If you want more babies and you don't try, you will always regret it and wonder what would have been. I see many many women with regrets on stopping having children when they did. If you are healthy and want more, go for it! If you think you need help to get there, call a clinic right away...

Blue Cross (IL) It's a PPO

Does anyone have a Dupage Co or Chicago area RE that they would recommend? Tell me your experience.

I'm with Debate. Organic is not gray. It's a complicated process to certify. My DH's uncle owns a farm and is pesticide free but getting certified organic was too difficult a process for him. He felt it was not worth it. I research my food sources pretty heavily these days and my entire family...
