Having a hard time sleeping in crib

kieusurvey @kieusurvey (132) • United States 15 Mar 07

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 24 Jan 07

I just want to ask your opinion regarding the best time to have my baby boy circumcised? My husband and I decided not to have him circumcised at birth so that he can choose by himself when he wants to have it done. It's a sign of...

susanwright I had my son circumsized when he was a month old. We chose to have it done because it is more painful as an older child or adult to have done. It was a choice that we made because we did not want him to grow up and get made fun of or feel uncomfortable because...

At what age did you start your baby on solids?

sarahkskeeters @sarahkskeeters (235) • United States 15 Feb 07

Did you start with cereal or pureed fruits and veggies? I've read so many different opinions on when to start solids and what their first foods should be. The general consensus seems to be somewhere between 4 and 6 months of age....

Do you let your baby sleep in their swing?

sarahkskeeters @sarahkskeeters (235) • United States 19 Feb 07

My daughter is a very easy going baby. She goes to bed with no problems whatsoever and, up until recently, would go down for naps with no problem too. Before this week, she took a nap every day at 2:00pm and slept for 90 mins. or...
