breaking my rejection of christianity to my parents +1 for "The way you feel today may not reflect how you feel in 50 years." I attended college with many, many people who rejected Christianity throughout college who have since returned to Christianity (including myself), though few of us returned to the denominations that we left. Damaging a relationship with something that may turn out to be more or less a "phase" for lack of a better term is never a good idea. |

How to comfort a new born with gum's ache whose teeth are about to grow? I couldn't even begin to tell you where to buy a good, safe teether. I received a few as gifts before my oldest was born, but neither of my kids were really interested in using them as teethers. Certainly, if I were to buy one, I would try to find one made as chemical-free as possible. It seems like European countries have stricter rules regarding the manufacturing of things like teethers than the US or China, so that would probably be my top criteria. |

Advice for carrying out the “Stay in Bed” technique with our 2-year-old Our daughter is the same way...bring her to our bed and regardless of how tired she is, it's suddenly playtime. Our son was never like this. |

How do you know when a baby needs to be burped? Yeah, I think after a month or so we figured out that he'd kind of slow down midway through the bottle and we'd stop, but then sometimes he'd spontaneously burp and he'd want the rest of the bottle. We eventually just put two and two together. He also spent a few days in the NICU when he was born, and they really pushed burping about halfway through the bottle though he didn't always need it and wouldn't always burp. As he grew and ate more, the need to burp became more obvious. |

Is a car seat safe to use if the internal styrofoam is broken Or, better yet, have the family member who broke it contribute to the "buy a new carseat" fund. I would feel so guilty if I did that to someone! |

Why is my 10 yr old struggling with school? @Worriedmommy: I saw a documentary once a few years ago about a man who had severe short-term memory damage from an accident--as in, he had absolutely no short-term memory at all. His whole life more or less revolved around post-it notes. His apartment was just plastered with them to help him remember things. Your daughter might need to adopt a similar technique, though since technology is so much better than it was when this documentary filmed she probably won't need to rely on post-it notes. |
