Hi Everyone! So I have a 3 week old baby and I want to go visit my parents. When is it safe to travel with an infant? I'm worried because its flu season and he might catch something in the air on the airplane. Its a direct flight thats 2 hours long.
I'm going to travel a 24-hour flight (South Carolina USA -to- Philippines)...

Just read the beauty tips from Nerida Joy on the Mamapedia home page. I was just wondering if anyone out there has any beauty secrets/tips you are willing to share with the rest of us??

Hi moms, So, I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday and had some protein in my urine so my OB said she was going to have it tested for a urinary tract infection (I haven't had any of the other symptoms except for wanting to go pee all the time). Anyway, I called the office twice today and the results hadn't come back yet so they said I'd have to wait until Monday for the results. So my question is if anyone knows of anything natural I can do until then to maybe help with the infection (if I have one). I think I heard that cranberry...

wow i did not think i'd have to deal with this so soon. my almost-5 year old (meaning - HE'S ONLY FOUR!!) fell off the top of a swingset (the ones with the little clubhouse platform) and landed face-and-arm-first and snapped his arm cleanly in two. thankfully for a break it's as good as it gets really. but that's the only good news of course. we have been up all night, after spending all evening in the ER...today we go for a real cast, right now he has it in a splint. he isn't sleeping because the hydrocodone tastes terrible and he is...

Any suggestions will help. I do plan on calling my doctor again today. I have had a fever with chills and sweats off and on since Sunday. I did go see my general physician and he didn't see any bacterial infection. Since Monday my left back has been hurting (like a pulled muscle). Also when I use the bathroom the is a strong smell. I am not sure if it is my urine or the results of having a beautiful baby boy 4 weeks ago. I believe that the back is from holding my son while breast feeding him. He is a heavy little guy and we...

I have in perfect condition beanie baby bears and rather than selling them on ebay or putting them on free cycle, my kids had a great idea of giving them to sick children to make them happy or to children in a children's home that have no family. My question is does anyone know of the best place to take them? Like I said these are in excellent condition as I used to collect them, so it's not like I'd be taking them used stuffed animals. No kids have ever played with these. I appreciate your help in finding them a lovable home.
I hope that someone can figure this one out... My friend's grandson is in...

So my daughter has completed her “phase one” of orthodontic work to fix an overbite. During that course of treatment, starting around the age of 10, she had 6 teeth pulled. The first two by a dentist and the other 4 by a oral surgeon with laughing gas. After the first teeth pulling my daughter was beyond traumatized so that is why we spent the extra dough to have an oral surgeon do the next recommended teeth to extraction. Now 2 years later, we are in the limbo phase before the 2nd phase where the orthodontist wants to put braces on...

My 7 month old has turned diaper changing in to a challenging game. I am a first time Mom and have to say this is one topic I haven't read about and wasn't ready for. He flips over so fast and wants to crawl off the changing table. This sounds like something all parents probably go through as I'm sure they get bored on their backs. I'm just not sure what approach to take. The other night I made him stay on his back and he reacted so dramatic that it made me feel awful. I don't want to start a bad habit (have been changing him while he...

Hi Moms, I need some help for my little boy. For the past two weeks he has had a cold/infection (stuffy nose, cough, etc). It runs for a couple of days, gets better, and then comes back. At the same time he is having some digestion issues, mainly diarrhea. He has not had a solid bm in 2 weeks. On doctors orders, we fed him nothing but formula, pedialyte, rice cereal and bananas for days. Not helping. Do you have any of your own ideas on how to treat this chronic diarrhea? We need it to stop as we can not give him antibiotics for the...

Anyone ever had to go through our put their child through vision therapy? My 3yr old has strabismus (not constant, but her eyes will turn inward) and we've done the patching thing for almost a year. It helped, but then the other eye started to get lazy on us and started to do the same thing. The opthamologist thinks surgery is her best bet. However, I've heard and researched that VISION THERAPY could be a good thing to turn this around. Have you done it or know someone who has gone through this type of therapy? And what where the...

Hello moms, I'm in need of some advice this morning. My sister in law and her daughter are temporaily living with us, and her daughter, my niece, has extremely poor hygiene. I'm sure it's just because no one has properly showed her how to care for herself however, when I try to say something to her or show her a better way to care for herself she gets embarassed and becomes sassy or upset. I know she does not wash her hands when she uses the restroom, in fact I don't think she cleans herself well either. Her hands are always filthy and then...

If you've had experiences before, can you share the pros/cons from your point of view? Additionally, do you have a personal referral for a midwife and doula in the area that you can share? If you could also kindly describe reasons why you recommend them that would be very helpful as well. I live in Palatine but nearby suburb areas may work too. Thanks!!

To make a very long story short, the father of my 5 month old daughter has a severe mental illness. The diagnosis is schizo affective disorder. I knew him in high school, and that was before he developed his illness. We reconnected on facebook last year and started dating by the end of April. Due to past circumstances, I honestly believed that I was not able to have children, so I was not as careful as I should have been. I became pregnant very soon after we started dating, and then soon after that I found out that he had this illness....

He does not let me suck his nose out or even wipe it for that matter unless I pin him down. He has been teething lately and already had 2 bottom teeth. Is this becasue of the teething? Otherwise, he is okay. No fever, coughing, etc. I am going to try to run the humidifier tonight and see if that helps.

So, I usually take at least one day a month off and I don't do anything except lay in bed for however long I want,watch television and eat. On rare ocassions I have driven to the mall on clothes I...

Her back is actually peeling today since her skin has been so dry. I did take her to her Pediatrician who ruled out any illness. He stated it may be sensitive skin or she may be having a reaction to a food that I am eating as she also has very bad reflux along with it. I use dreft detergent on all clothes/linens that come into contact with her. I use Eucerin on her skin which does seem to help a...

I am a mom of a soon to be 4 year old and an 8 week old. I had no problems with my skin with my first born, but when I was pregnant with my second, my skin became extremely oily.

I am; however, concerened with the possible risks to these immunizations such as brain damage, autism, etc. Does anyone have any words of encouragement for me as I take my baby in to receive these vaccines? Is it the norm to get several immunizations at once? Has anyone infant experienced any negative reactions to these immunizations?

I am looking for suggestions to help me teach my 5 year old daughter good hygiene skills. She seems to have trouble with wiping herself although she is at the age where she is perfectly capable of doing so. I try not to be harsh or overly critical with her since I am afraid she will become anxious, but I also feel it is not something I can overlook since it can lead to medical issues like urinary tract infections or worse.
