You're right, I think people are reacting so strongly because they don't realize that you want to treat every little trivial problem a baby has because a little trivial problem makes a baby SCREAM. No, homeopathic remedies won't cure cancer or mental illness or fevers. But Hyland's homeopathic teething gel with…

Love this comment.

Yeah, we declined Hep B on day 1, and she got it at her 2 month appointment. There was no way she was going to get Hep B in the interim, and she had already been through so much and was jaundiced... it just seemed so unnecessary.

The use of garlic oil to reduce pain in ear infections has been supported in double blind studies. Here's a link: [www.med.nyu.edu] I think that most of the homeopathic remedies are thought to provide comfort while the body works things out on its own.

We got Violet, the girl version of Scout for Christmas, and my husband and I have to actively try to stop saying our daughter's name in the Violet voice. "I'm sleepy, Li-La." "I love you, Li-La."

The chicken pox vaccine is a live virus vaccine, so it is still possible to get shingles. In fact, at least one study has linked the vaccine to additional shingles cases.

Do you want to collect Social Security when you're old? Do you want a nurse to wipe your ass when you become bedridden and incontinent? If so, then at least some of us had better have some children.

I agree. The O.J. trial split the Kardashians. Kris sat with the Browns during the trial ads her ex-husband sat next to the accused. How could her memoir exclude that?

Nick Cannon is definitely one of those rare people who is all happiness and sunshine and enthusiasm without being annoying. He seems like someone I'd like to hang around, and I bet he's the funnest dad ever.

I'm also about 5 weeks postpartum, and I can't say I've never called my husband on the cellphone to come down or upstairs to hand me my water because it was out of reach and I was dyyying of thirst.

I know. I got some Vicodin (acetaminophen plus oxycodone) on Monday for the only migraine of my pregnancy. I'm not going to lie, t was pretty heavenly once the migraine subsided. When you haven't had more than a tiny glass of wine for nine months, Vicodin really takes the edge off. :)

It is definitely one of the first things they tell you when you get pregnant. Fucking tylenol is a joke, too.

The nice thing is that most women don't get migraines while pregnant. I typically get one a month, but I only have gotten one through my entire pregnancy. (I'm due tomorrow.) That one occurred on Monday, and I wound up having to go to the hospital to be checked for preeclampsia due to the headache anyway. They gave me…

There was a moment early in my pregnancy when I looked at my bare chest and saw that basically overnight someone had come in and switched the breasts I'd had for my entire adulthood with my mother's breasts. They had almost nothing in common with my breasts. It was both disconcerting and disheartening, especially when…

I love Holly. She is the only reasonable person on this show, except that she understandably has a little blind spot when it comes to her daughter's dancing. I don't think Nia is really on the level of the other girls, but Abby should probably solve that by not having her compete until she pulls her technique…

Whore. :) I've tried it before and found it to be possible, but it's just easier the other way and it's not like it takes a long time.

How else would one put on a bra?

I completely agree. It does help to run the shower on cold while people are going. (Also a nice white noise so that others don't have to listen to the sounds.) Something about the running water helps move the smells through the air.

Aaaaah! Nightmare scenario! That's a good tip, thanks.

I love number 2! I definitely don't give a fuck if people on an airplane are mad my baby is on an airplane with them. You can't afford to fly private? Then deal with it. That said, I will make every possible effort to ensure my children are well-behaved. Beyond that, I don't care.
