HOW DO I GET STARTED USING CLOTH DIAPERS? (AND HOW DO I CONVINCE MY WIFE IT’S A GOOD…?
May 21st
Question by Doreen:
How do I get started using cloth diapers? (and how do I convince my wife it’s a good…?
…idea?)
So I have learned that we’ve moved beyond the days of safety pins and the stinky hamper. But I really can’t make heads or tails of the choices for cloth diapers. We have a 20 month old (who’s starting potty training) and an infant. What should I get that might grant us to “try out” the concept of cloth diapering. My motivation is as much economical as ecological, so I’d rather not spend a fortune in start-up costs.

SOME GIRL SENT ME THIS; DID I RESPOND TOO HARSHLY?
May 17th
Question by Braydens Callin the Troll Police:
some girl sent me this; did i respond too harshly?
her message:
Let Bruce see his kid and then maybe he can take care of him. You’re 15 and you have a kid, grow up a bit will you. Stop posting bulletins saying your done with Bruce, I got it the first time. It’s you two’s business, not everyone that has a myspace. I have a dead beat dad who barely pays child support & I turned out great so stop trying to make people feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for your kid to be raised by a mother like you. But then again, I was too & I learned from my mother’s mistakes.
And I will answer your last question as well.. No, you’re not a rocket scientist obviously or you would not have turned out raising a baby before you can even drive legally without an adult.
Mine back:
i know im a damn fucking good mother, whether you want to believe that or not, any mother who would work two jobs and go to school, while raising a newborn, obviously cares about her son, and unlike your mom… i dont even get a “little bit” of child support, im only 16, and im doing it on my own. paying for EVERYTHING. MY food, BRAYDENS food, our clothes, my rent, everything, very rarely complaining, and very rarely do i get a break from everything, beyond all the other bullshit you decided to write me, this pissed me off the most. what has bruce done for his kid? nothing. how many times has he called and asked to see his son? none. so when bruce acts like a god damn man, and actually asks to see brayden, then he can see him, until then, your gonna have to deal with my bulletins about it. tough fucking shit. now if you really want to get involved in a situation you know completely nothing about, please continue to run your mouth, because if your going off what you hear about me, i WILL make you look and feel like an idiot. I suppose you think I miraculously got myself pregnant by putting my finger in my belly button, like im the next fucking virgin mary, right? bruce had nothing to do with that, and i completely ASKED to get pregnant, because it’s something I wanted…. lol. your rediculous if you think that. it’s not something i wanted to happen, but it did, and i thank god every day, because my son is the most precious gift of God that anybody could ask for.
was it harsh?
Kayce Jones♥#1 Due June 12th- in no way was this meant to be attention seeking. I did not post that on myspace, it was a message to me, so no, not everyone could see it. I dont even know anybody on here, and your views matter to me, but to an extent. I just wanted to know if it was too harsh, or if it was not necessary.
I have a huge problem with my sons father, which is not part of my question. this girl got in my business and i told her how i felt. i CANT take it up with him, as he refuses to speak to me.

May 14th
Question by Jamaican mommy:
Is this white patch on my babies tongue thrush or formula…?
I am a new mother and nobody told me to clean my babies tongue everyday…I breastfeed but sometimes my childs dad would give him formula…he has a white patch towards the back of his tongue…..i tried a cloth to wipe it out but it is still there…..he feeds fine no problem i see as of yet….my nipples look normal…..i do feel a weird sensation though but i think its because he only sucks my nipple and does not take in more of the breast….but no pain while feeding him….I dont know if I should be concerned , advice from anyone would be wonderful….

POST BABY BODY EFFECTS?
May 13th
Question by healthybabyquestion:
Post Baby body effects?
between the world wide web and books, theres a horror story and a simple as pie story for every situation you can think of. Sadly, the bad experiences make a stronger impression – my wife is scared she will have vaginal bleeding for several weeks after, odor, etc. Can you guys please weigh in and let us know if she has been scared with reason, or no real reason.
thanks!

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT CIRCUMCISION IS WRONG? I MEAN, IF IT’S NOT NECESSARY WHY DO IT, RIGHT?
May 9th
Question by Adeline:
Am I the only one who thinks that circumcision is WRONG? I mean, if it’s not necessary why do it, right?
I feel sorry for babies who are needlessly put through this painful surgery for no reason. I guess I just do not comprehend why parents would continue to do this. I hear a lot of people use the excuse that “it’s cleaner” but that’s the same reason people in Africa used to use for curcumcising their girls. And that has now been outlawed because it’s considered barbaric and a human-rights violation. So, why do not we protect our boys in the same way?
I mean, do you really care THAT MUCH about what your child’s genitals LOOK LIKE? Kind of seems silly and stupid to me.

DO CLOTH DIAPERS REALLY KEEP BABIES DRY, AND DO THEY LEAK?
Apr 30th
Question by nanr93:
Do cloth diapers really keep babies dry, and do they leak?
I’m anticipating my first child (a boy) in October, and am thinking about using cloth diapers instead of disposables. Seems like a responsible choice both for the environment and for my bank account. But is it responsible for my son?
I’m looking for specific experiences with cloth diapers, please, not links or other information about maintaining a green home.
Of course, I am referring to the new cloth diapers that come with velcro, no diaper pins, that include flushable liners, and that can be used from birth through potty training.

CLEANING BABIES TONGUE WITH THRUSH?
Apr 25th
Question by Jessica Q:
Cleaning babies tongue with thrush?
March 11th my 5 week old son had his checkup and I mentioned to the dr his tongue is white, she looked and told me its the beginning of thrush aND prescribed nystatin. I had my check up the next day (I do not have signs of thrush on mynipples but just for prevention) and my OB prescribed Diflucan.
His tongue since then seems to have gotten whiter and more thicker I clean before I give him the drops and as often as I can but it still looks the same. Is it normal for the drops to take time to make his tongue less white?DoI clean his tongue and try and scrap it off or just gently? He doesn’t show any signs of anguish when nursing or while I am cleaning it.Sorry if I am not making any sense… lol

WOULD YOU LET YOUR MOTHER BE YOUR MIDWIFE? IS IT BAD THAT I DON’T?
Apr 25th
Question by Anonymous:
Would you let your mom be your midwife? Is it bad that I don’t?
Hi, my mom is becoming a midwife and she INSISTS that when I get pregnant I HAVE to have her as my midwife. She says it’s her right as grandmother to birth her grandchildren. [I am not even married or pregnant.] I would feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable having her as my midwife. Not only do we have an extremely strained relationship from which I am distancing myself more and more, but even if we had a perfect relationship, to be frank I do not want my mom all up in my hoo-ha. Is that irrational or rude? I simply would feel strange having anyone I knew around my genitals. If a stranger is around them, fine, they have no connection to me and I will probably never see them again. Plus, my mom is over 50 and I would be afraid she’d make an error, and put in her personal views where they’re not needed. I need someone unbiased and unrelated to me. She ALREADY disagrees with my choices, for example I have no desire for an epidural [I would like to explore other pain management options] and she thinks I am a “wuss” and says she’ll “make” me get one. This is ALREADY too personal and I am not even pregnant and have said NO many times. She says she doesn’t care and WILL birth my babies. She thinks I am crazy and says this is not fair to her and that it makes me a bad daughter. What would you do in this situation? Would you want your mom as your midwife? Is it odd to not want anyone I know/am related to around my genitals?
