a diaper the whole day but i have seen parents who like to put on a diaper for their child for the whole day. I dont do it because i feel that the childs soft skin can get rashes easily and when they do get rashes it irritates...

snuphi I've always had my son in a diaper day and night. We've always been vigilant to change him as soon as he was wet or dirty and have had really no rashes at all. I don't change him during the night when he wakes up, as I've found it makes it harder for him to...

Diapers

mom4kids @mom4kids (657) • Canada 17 Sep 08

Pampers, Huggies, Luv's, or generic brand? Which do you buy? I buy pampers. I don't like how the Huggies fit and I haven't been impressed with generic brands. I live in Canada and we don't have Luv's. We try to buy Pampers when...

snuphi All Pampers, all the time! I'm all about Pampers Cruisers. We tried everything else, including store brands that might as well have stuck cereal cardboard to your baby's bottom! Everything else leaks like crazy. We have #2 on the way in the summer, and my...

snuphi I have a 15 mo and have tried every brand, trying to find something good and cheap. I finally settled on Pampers, and here's why. THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER!!! Those first few months you have poopy blowouts all the time, but pampers did such a better job with...

When is it OK to change your child's diaper in the food court?

wheel416 @wheel416 (1019) • Canada 15 Dec 08

OK, all and you parents out there, let me first say as a slight disclaimer, I have never been a parent and as such can not comprehend exactly how you manage to juggle things and get everything done. My hat goes off to you! I think...

snuphi NO WAY!!!! That's why they have restrooms near the food court! I have a 16 mo, and while I have definitely changed simple wet diapers in public (aka, not a restroom), never never never would I change in an eating area. Sure, in a dressing room. Quickly on a...

having weird back pains

spoiled311 @spoiled311 (5500) • Philippines 17 Dec 08

i am almost 6 months pregnant and am having back pains. it is not the usual pain on the spine, or on the lower back. it is the pain of a knotted muscle on the left side of the lumbar area.. i think L3 to be precise. anyway, i...

snuphi This sounds a little like sciatica maybe, basically a pinched nerve because of the baby's orientation. Usually the pain is mostly in the back of your hips or goes down your leg, but I had a lot of various back pains during my first pregnancy that my OB said...

Is it ok to cry in front of your children?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 19 Dec 08

The other night I was feeling really depressed, because I developed an infection in my eye tooth and I knew it was going to have to be pulled. As silly as it may seem, it made me feel old and ugly knowing that I would have that...

snuphi I think it's important for our kids to see us respond to emotional situations in appropriate ways, so yeah, I think it's ok to cry in front of your kids. It might require a little simplified explanation so your kid doesn't become too concerned, but it shows...

Easy dinner/crock pot ideas or recipes

snuphi @snuphi (26) • United States 13 Dec 08

I desperately need some new quick dinner ideas. I'm pregnant with my second child , and since my husband is never home for dinner, I have very little motivation to wrestle with my 15-month-old and cook at the same time. Add in...

Tired of the Environment

I am getting so sick of having "the environment" shoved down my throat every time I turn around. Now before I go on, you should know that I love the great outdoors and am in total agreement that we should be responsible with this...

Making Christmas Candy Gifts -- Recipes?

snuphi @snuphi (26) • United States 13 Dec 08

I want to make chocolates or peanut brittle or something as Christmas gifts for my family (to save a little money this year). Does anyone have a great recipe for something not super complicated that will pack and ship well?

1 response

snuphi Cute! I don't have a cake decorator kit. Do you think I could do small spoonfuls? Maybe using two spoons to make a little round? I'm not sure if they'd harden properly if that big. What do you think?

snuphi Thanks for your response. I've done roast in the crock pot before, but I've never marinated it first. Do you marinate it in the broth? Nice idea. Thanks!

We went last week to a mall to buy some teether for my baby and while we were at the escalator I saw some babies on stroller and they were on escalator. Isn’t it one of the no no on strollers? I mean it could lead to accidents?...

snuphi Living in New York City, I see this ALL the time. In fact, I do it myself alot. Of COURSE, if there's an elevator, you HAVE to take the time to use it. But it's a fact here, that there aren't elevators in a lot of public places, including (if you can believe...

What stroller arrangement is best for two kids close in age in the city?

snuphi @snuphi (26) • United States 13 Dec 08

I'm pregnant with my second child (due in July), and I'm trying to decide what type of stroller to buy. My first child will be almost two when the baby is born. I'm not thrilled about the tandem double arrangement, since one kid...

snuphi I can definitely see doing that! What do you plan to do when the baby gets too big for the carrier?

Before I was married I often wondered what a house wife does around holiday times. I thought it was rather tacky to spend your husband's money on gifts for him. Of course now I am married and a SAHM. The only money I earn is...

snuphi I definitely agree that I think of it as our money. Even when I was working, our money has always been pooled. There was a stretch of time when I was working and he was in school, and I never felt weird about him paying for my gifts with "my" money. I guess I...
