Vicki,

I have no idea who wrote the book, i just picked it up at a barnes and

noble. Also i have never douched and i have also read that douching can

lead to PID. They talked about diet controlling the acid in the vagina,

but i dismissed that cause i have a bland diet anyway. I don't like

spicy foods.

,

We just had our 2 month apt and *I* took control over what vaccines my

baby got. The one she was *supposed* to get was HiB, Hep B (until they

pulled it) DTap and IPV. We opted to get the DTaP. The IPV is put off

until 6 months, she has little to no risk of polio right now. The HiB is

put off til 4 months cause she really needs to have 2 doses to be

" immune " ....and the Hep B...well, put off indefinately. My doctor didn't

treat me like i was a freak for not wanting my baby to have all these

shots but with colic and plus, shes so small. Why have her bombarded

with all these shots if they aren't medically *necessairy* at this point.

So make sure you take charge of your babys shots. And don't get what

youre not comfortable with. Its your baby.

>>How do we know it is SUCH a strick schedule?? Maybe its every 2 hours

could

she has

Amy,

this lady is my neighbor and when he was a newborn he was on an every 3

hours schedule during the day and fed on demand at night...which was

usually longer than 3 hours. Once i was over there and he was crying and

i asked if i could hold him for her...she said that he was hungry but

that it wasn't 'time' for him to eat yet. He had another 25 minutes til

it was 'time. i just felt like she was missing his cues and that he

needed to have his needs met. Hes an infant, not an adult who knows how

to deal with waiting 25 more minutes. ya know?

,

i am like you in the way that i use humor to deal with things. I detest

the dentist and have had to go 5 times in the last 5 weeks. The first

dentist i saw on my first 2 trips was a reg. dentist and she was fun and

had a sence of humor. I teased her when she kept telling me " just 2 more

seconds " and she'd take that drill thing outta my mouth and i said to her

" your 2 seconds is up lady! " She thought that was funny and we had a

good laugh. We just joked back and forth. Well, the oral surgeon didn't

have a sence of humor and i was *very* scared...so i was trying to

lighten things up by telling him i would scream as loud as i could if he

hurt me...well, i WAS kidding...and he found nothing humorous in it! I

had to actually TELL him i was kidding! Geez, the guy reminded me of the

monotone guy who does the visine commercials! I am glad i am done with

this guy! :-)

<<That is disgusting. What if a child was in trouble in the pool? Would

they be " too <<busy " then, too? (my husband) would have been fired

had he been doing <<that! You obvious can't be guarding lives in a pool

where one second all may be <<fine and the next something diasterous can

happen if you are " so busy " as to be <<talking or flirting or reading.

I had an experience with a lifeguard several years ago when katie was 1.

This lifeguard was promised a job at our pool and at the last minute the

manager told him there was no place for him. Well, this guy threatened

to sue if he didn't get his promised job...so they let him work. He

ended up being the best lifeguard we ever had! At the " baby pool " the

lifeguards were usually too busy sunning themselves to watch the

kids...that was the moms job. Well, katie went under when i had my back

turned for a second and this lifeguard was right on top of her! I sang

his praises!
