MrNiceGuy You can go to the Food Pyramid website: http://www.mypyramid.gov/ Enter your age, gender, and activity level, and it will tell you how many calories and what portions of each food group you should be eating. I think the calories seem pretty high, but...

Makena1968 I think you just need to go with what is most comfortable for both you and your baby. Try and breastfeed him as much as you can, as long as he will take it, because there are strong benefits from breastmilk for a baby. But if he needs more, than give him that...

My pediatrician advised me to stay away from letting my kids watch Baby Einstein videos because studies have shown that it aids in developing ADD and ADHD. When I asked the reasonings behind this, he told me that it is because the...

wmaharper I have heard of this, not from my pediatrician but from parenting magazine (I think, I'm not certain though). I used them for my oldest, and I still use them for my youngest. I think it really depends on how much time you let them watch. Moderation is key. I...

I love the sitcom Heroes. The way they name each episode a Chapter led me to believe that it might be a book as well. If it is a book I would love to read it because it could potentially be better than the show. Does anyone know?

JJLoa44 the graphic novels are quite cool, I highly recommend them! You get some background insight to the characters, and in some cases it's even showed what happens between episodes and that kind of thing. Both of which are neat extras to the show!
