xoShannonNCxo Adoption is the most *selfless* and generous thing you can do for your child if you know you cannot give them the best. I believe your decision was made with love and that you should never regret it.

xoShannonNCxo I heard that it reduces the risk of SIDS up to 50% if you put them on their back so thats what I think is best. I do know of babies that sleep on their stomach and are fine but I just don't want to risk it with my baby.

Which season do you want to labor your baby?

youless @youless (112108) • Guangzhou, China 4 Feb 08

If it is possible for you to choose, which season do you want to labor your baby? I will choose summer as I am very scared of winter. The coldness will make everything inconvenient. Fortunately my son was born in June and it's...

xoShannonNCxo I think late summer or early fall is best. The weather is usually really nice and there are no illnesses going around so you're not as worried with people coming to see the new baby. And once it gets cold the baby is a few months old.

xoShannonNCxo I think it is cute actually. They are just using what they have been taught to help others! If they are older (10-13) and rude about it then I would be offended, but for younger children I think it is cute.
