comment How long should we try to conceive before consulting a doctor?
The two couples I know who had tried unsuccessfully to conceive for over a year both managed once they had made the decision to go IVF, but before IVF started. The stress levels seemed to have a lot to do with it!

comment Encouraging my 2-year-old to play independently
Definitely this - use very small, defined time slices at first, and always come back when you say you will. Then just extend that time slowly. It's often all about trust - that you will return.

comment Can “The risk of a baby not taking to breast after bottlefeeding may be decreased by using a finger and catheter.” be backed up by data?
Ahh - I think that is legacy guidance. Teats now have a much better design. I don't know if I have any hard data on that though.

comment What are some good multi-player collaborative games for a 9-12 year old girl?
I'd be a bit concerned if you are focusing specifically on girls. As the father of boys and girls, I can say that one of my girls loves shoot em ups, the other likes princesses and mermaids, so your best bet is to avoid gender stereotypes.

comment How do you find great reading material for a child whose reading ability is far outstripped by his/her comprehension?
Similarly, Piers Anthony's Xanth books have some fun ideas but are simple reading. I read them about the same age as the first few Pratchett Discworld books and really enjoyed them.
