The word flashlight would be considered rather dated/old-fashioned here - unless it meant a really big torch.

Sarah, can you post that link to the baby sleep information? I think it was you that did it a while back but I can't remember which thread or exactly how long it's been.
Gideon's not sleeping that badly, especially for just 6 days today. Last night he decided to cluster feed from midnight to 3. Every time we got him down he'd wake up 15 minutes later and get more and more upset until I put him on me. He'd eat and go back down and wake up 15 minutes later and we'd start all over again. The night before that was great though. He only woke to eat at 12, 3 and 5:30 then not again until 8:30, and he'd eat and go back to sleep. I think he is getting a bit addicted to BFing to calm down. My DH is a pro soother but can't do squat for this baby. I don't mind Gideon wanting to nurse for comfort but I'll have issues (like I'll go slightly insane) if we can't find someway for DH to help me out at night by being able to soothe him as well.

I agree, but I think Yolanda was more referring to her not dumping her baby somewhere, as sometimes happens when a teen mom has kept the entire pregnancy a secret.
Yes, that is what I meant... I think I was in a hurry and couldn't think out the whole thought properly.

I know I'm chiming in late on this - but I've locked 2 of our kids in the car.
The first time was Emma, and thankfully dh was close by and just had to go get our extra set of keys - so it was around 10 minutes.
The 2nd time was when I was highly pregnant with Jacob, I locked Olivia in the truck at Subway. And the cell phone was locked in there too! I had to stop a random stranger and borrow their phone to call my inlaws (dh was at the older girls hockey game with no cell reception), and FIL drove down with the extra set of keys to open up the door - I stood out there for about 20 minutes waiting.

OK, I read that and for a fleeting moment I wondered why you were posting on Crosswalk while two of your kids were locked in the car.

Quick question about locking children in the car: how does it happen? I am not asking to be rude, just curious. I am afraid to ask this because I have yet to do it and now that I am asking this watch it happen...hopefully not though. With both our cars we have the alarm clickers so the doors do not get locked until we are all out of the car and all the doors are closed. Even with the key in the ignition the car does not automatically lock until I have reached a certain mileage.

With my car at that time, you could either lock the car manually with a key or, when you got out, if you shut the door with the handle lifted up, it would lock all the doors too. That's how it happened with me.
I have heard of "quirky" moments, with central locking (automatically with a click), where someone has thrown the keys on the seat, then shut the door, and it has locked itself from the inside (no idea how).

Wow, can't believe Biruk is 1 already! Happy Birthday! Are you going to make a cake and have a little party for him?
We haven't decided which day to have Jimmy's party because my mom doesn't know what her work schedule is going to be yet. So, whatever day she doesn't work during that week, that's when we'll have it. I'll probably make a cake from a box, and I have a small little heart shaped tin that I can make his own little special cake for him to dig into.
Well, I think Jimmy has another ear infection. I feel horrible. I know it couldn't possibly be my fault though because I'm so careful. Never get water in his ear, he doesn't come in contact with smoke, he doesn't get a bottle flat in bed, I cover his ears when it's windy. This will be his third one, and I guess if he has another one, the doctor will recommend to get tubes in his ears. Apparently I was really prone to ear infections as a kid. My mom said I was almost non-stop on amoxicillin or penecillin for the the first 5 years of my life. They didn't come out with the tube procedure until the early 90's though. Poor guy. I hope they give him azythromiacin again, that stuff was fast.
LOL, yesterday after I put Timmy down for his nap, he pooped. He usually poops when I put him down for a nap, and then I have to go in there and change his diaper again. I almost think he saves it so he has an excuse to come out in the living room. Anyway, I went in there, and he had stuck his hand in his diaper and got poop all over his hand and rubbed it on his chest. It was gross. I just put him right in the rub and washed him off with the showerhead while Robert changed his sheets. Yuck!

Ugh, Christina, that's gross... I can't wait for those kind of messes, I just know i'm in for it! He already sticks his hands in it when I change him.
My nephew had a ton of ear infections when he was little, and they took him to the chiropractor and she did a couple of treatments, and he was alright after that. I guess there was something out of place in there, and everything kept getting all plugged up.
Manda, is there any homeopathic remedies you would recommend for sinus troubles for babies?
Chase is getting so good at falling! He used to just fall and bang his head on everything, but he's good at turning to land on his hand, or catch himself, or hold his head up so he doesn't hit it. He's catching on quick!

my soldier! 
It's usually that split second before the door shuts when I realize what I've done. Haven't done that in a while but I still occasionally panic after I shut the door, and make a frantic search for my keys.
