How To Enroll For Free Groceries!

29 years ago, I was one of the first people to sign up for the
discount savings program at http://supermarketloophole.com Back in
those days of course there was no internet so I signed up through a
magazine ad. Despite many people telling me not to because the
company was brand new at that time and the concept seemed to good to
be true, I didn't listen and signed up and I am so glad I did! The
savings were and for 29 years have been outstanding. What I like
most about this company is that they seem to always be researching
new programs to save us more money. Shortly after the grocery
program was released, a Kodak film developing and free film
program,and then a few years later they released an online wholesale
mall and as seen on tv one stop store for all the items seen on tv
infomercials and most recently they released the restaurant savings
program. I am quite happy to say that I joined everything that they
released and each program has proven to save me substantial money. I
only wish I had tracked my total savings over the years it must be
in the tens of thousands of dollars! I thought I would share with
you my first hand experiences with this company.

At what age should I take the pacifier away? My son is 11 months and has 4 teeth (2 top, 2 bottom). He LOVES LOVES LOVES his pacy, and sucks on it pretty much all the time, but I don't want his teeth to be bad becuase of it...

My 13 month old son, Connor, was diagnosed with having a developmental delay. When he was initally evaluated at 11 months, he had the gross motor range of a 7-8 month old. We were told at that time not to get him physical therapy. A few doctor's appointments later, our doctor reccommended physical therapy. He's only had two sessions, but our physical therapist suggested activities to help his weak core muscles. However, I try to do the excercises with Connor and he absolutly objects. Whenever he doesn't have his way, he'll arch his whole back and neck and hysterically cry. There was also the possible Failure To Thrive diagnosis thrown around since he also lost five pounds starting when he was three months old. Our first doctor never suspected Failure To Thrive. Our second opinion and current doctor said it was a possible explanation to the weight loss and gross motor delay. However, she told my husband and I that she has since ruled it out after adjusting his diet. Then she sent this program in my state that we go through called Help Me Grow (in case no one has heard of it, someone comes to your home free of charge to inform you of how your child should be developing and evaluate your child if a delay is suspected) a letter stating that Connor was definatly diagnosed with Failure To Thrive. The doctor said months ago that this was ruled out and she sent this fax to Help Me Grow in October! This just happened.

Basically, I have no idea where to go from here. I tried to talk to the doctor about this, but I had to make a specific appointment just for that, which is on the 16th of this month. I'm trying to get a second opinion, but our insurance just isn't working with us. Connor is in physical therapy now, but he just seems to be getting more behind as he gets older. I am so confused and worried about my son's health. I am trying to stay strong, but how can I when I'm convinced that it's all my fault? Could this be my fault? Has anyone here gone through any of this? Please reply. I need all the advice I can get.

Any thoughts on getting rid of a mild case of cradle cap? Anyone tried to just use baby oil and then shampooing it away?

My DD is 3 months old and since she was a few weeks old she had an umbilical hernia. Whenever she cries for long the hernia protrudes more (like a tiny button popping out and grew to a small sausage like thing). The Dr said it will heal with time or she can have surgery at 4 yrs old
My problem is that we were cosleeping for many reasons including the fact that when we put her in the crib she would cry so hard the hernia got worse and because although I would feed and burp her before bed she would vomit out her mouth and nose or just her nose without a sound and couldn't breathe! I would immediately jump with the nasal aspirator to suction the thick chunky vomit from her nose.

I am scared to put her in the crib because of this. I am so scared I won't wake up and my DH sleeps through everything from construction noise to a fire alarm.
I am trying to get her used to the crib and put her in it for daytime naps but she
will wake after 20-30 min instead of 2-3 hrs cosleeping or being held. Now when I attempt to put her in the crib I am too afraid to sleep so I try to watch her.

I am usually able to put her down without waking her but she has vomited
out her nose twice and seems to have anxiety when she wakes up in it. I sit right by her crib but out of sight so she doesn't make eye contact and try to get
up. She gets wide eyed cries tears (barely any noise) and shakes violently. I swear
she looks like she is panicking! Have you experienced this and what can I do to
help her? I have tried singing to her, patting her, but it is like she can't see me. She shakes for up to 10 minutes after I pick her up and won't make eye contact. She shales when we go near her crib too now.

Hi everyone, this is my very first post since I've been a member. I have a 7 mo old baby boy who is the happiest little thing and always enjoys his car rides. He gets to ride just about every day; short trips, long trips, whatever it is, he either falls asleep quickly or sits and babbles happily to himself while listening to the radio (or momma) sing.
Just yesterday (like any other day) I put him in his car seat (full stomach and clean diaper mind you) and brought him out to the car, strapped him in and started pulling out of the driveway for a trip to the grocery store. He started to cry and as much as I tried to sooth him and calm him down he continued his crying until we got to the store. Got out, cheered him up (and double checked everything to make sure it wasn't a tight car seat strap or something), and went through the whole episode again on the way home.
And then the same thing again today. I don't understand what could be the problem. He absolutely HATES his car seat! It makes me so sad to see him like this; its so sudden and I don't know what to do. Nothing has happened to him while he was in his car seat to make him feel like its dangerous or uncomfortable. I really need some advice on this one. Thank you all in advance.

My son is five months old and I have been his primary caretaker. His dad professes cluelessness every time he has cried pretty much since birth even though he is a veteran dad and this is my first child. Anyway, having been pretty much inseparable from my son from birth he now throws a fit if i leave him in the room under someone elses supervision. He calms down and starts laughing the minute he sees me, so I was wondering if this was some form of seperation anxiety and how to fix it so that i can at least get a few moments of alone time.

My entire family will be traveling to Disney World in a few months and we'll be going too, with our DS who will be 10 months old. I am not a huge fan of bringing babies to Disney World - I always thought it was silly for parents to do it in the past (haha, and now I'm going to be one of those parents) - but its more about being there with our entire family than thinking our DS is really going to remember the trip or anything.

So...here's the question(s): Has anyone traveled to Disney or anywhere similar with a 10-month old (or close to that age)? Any survival tips you can share with me? I want to make it as pleasant as possible for all involved and still hopefully make sure my DS and we have a great time.

Thanks guys!

I am due in January and my sister is getting married in Vegas the first of April. My husband and I are having a debate on whether or not it is too early to take the new baby with us. He is uncomfortable with the fact we wont have our own doctors and neither of us have been out to Vegas so we don't know the area or if the hospitals are ok. He's also worried about if someone snatches the baby while we are there, which I tried to explain could happen at home too. I don't see any problem with taking the baby with the exception of the flight I'm nervous about, just work to get a flight around nap time. ALL my family will be out there and with things really tight I also want to use the wedding as a meeting time for the new baby. My sister has already expressed she really wants him/her to be there and can't wait. Mine is the only child allowed to come. He wants to leave the baby at home with his parents. I don't think this is right since the baby wont be sleeping through the night and they will have to take so many days off from work to care for the baby while we are gone. we are looking at being gone about 4 -5 days.
Any thoughts? I know the hotels have concierges to reccomend doctors, hospitals etc should we need anything while we are there and I have explained that to him too. He says maybe one of us should just stay home with the baby. To which I explain that I want to introduce the baby to the family and everyone wants to see the baby there.
