what brand baby crib has best safety features?

I am going to be a 1st time Grandmother. Would like to purchase a crib for my use when the new baby visits. I want to be sure it has current safety features. What is a mid to lower price brand to consider? Where should I shop? Any web sites I can shop would be helpful.

This grandmother would like to help out by buying some diapers. My grandchild wears Huggies Movers. I see that you can purchase them online…is this a good way to go? Or is it better to get them locally? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My grandmother gave my cat Gibson dog flea medicine, she didn’t know it’d be lethal to her. So this morning I’m sleeping and at about 6:45 she comes running in and my cat was having bad convulsions. We immediately took her to the vet hospital and waited for the main Doctor to get there.

I have never seen an animal doctor haul a$$ the way she did. She swerved her car into the parking lot, jumped out and rushed to get my cat. I was absolutely amazed. she treated Gibson like she was a dying infant.

I would like to thank all you veterinarians and assistants for all you’ve done. I’d especially like to thank the ones who are dedicated like my cats Doctor is. I don’t know whats going to happen to her but they’re keeping her there for awhile.

Okay so my question is, what is my cats chance at surviving? She gave her valum, and it stopped her convusions and seizing, they were out of some muscle relaxer but rushed elsewhere to get it for her to stop the twitching. She also said they’d keep re-bathing her then put her on an I.V. What else will they do? Any information will be of big help, please and thank you.

my stepson likes to wear girl clothing.?




he is five and right now is curled up in his sisters princess toddler bed watching a princess movie. she is three and they each have their own rooms and tvs. i heard from his older brother who is seven that he dresses in her clothes, tights, panties and wants to wear jewelry and high heels. what does this mean psychological. his dad had a fit and told him not to ever do that when he was at his moms house or even here. one time he came over here with his finger nails painted because his grandmother who lives with him painted them dark. i wonder what this means. it hasn’t happened just a few times thought, its happened alot over there at his moms house. he is very interested in all of my gaudy jewelry and likes to play house and dolls with his little sister even though he has his own really cool room. his big brother and him play but now he likes big boy things and our five year old is stuck between toddler and big boy.

How much should I swaddle my baby?




I was just wondering how much and when are you supposed to swaddle a newborn? This might sound stupid but i thought you was supposed to pretty much keep them swaddled just not so tight around their hips but, my grandmother in-law says that your only supposed to swaddle them when they are sleeping. Anything will be helpful.

im just so sad or irritable ?




i dont know whats wrong with me. im just so sad or im so irritable that my fiance notices. the last 2 days when people i have called havent called me back or wanted to talk to me right away, i have actually cried. like started sobbing as soon as i hung up the phone. i seem to have a knack for calling people at the wrong time, as people always seem to have to call me back.

i live in a house with my fiance, our child, his parents and his 90 some year old dementia ridden grandmother. his mother has made it very clear that she doesnt like me and doesnt want her son to marry me, but is going along with it b/c she doesnt want to upset my fiance(he is her favorite son). she loves her other son’s wife and makes blatent gestures to show that she likes her and doesnt like me(she is SO PROUD that fsil is having a boy, whereas when i was going to have my son she could have cared less;she has gone out and immediately bought her mimi maternity clothes and she doesnt even really need maternity clothes, at least not as many as fmil is buying her-she didnt buy me ANY maternity clothes unless she could get them at a super low discount and even then it was like one or two shirts and i had to buy the rest myself). she refuses to even discuss our wedding even though it is only nine and a half weeks away at this point. she wont help us with anything for the wedding(i had to have my fiance take me to find a bra for my dress and to take my dress to the tailors to have it altered for my upcoming bridal photos;she also expects me to sit in my wedding dress on an absolutely filthy back seat(fgmil is fecal and urine incontinent and has had more than a few accidents in the back seat, along with crumbs, dog hair, etc. and she also refuses to get my dress cleaned after making me sit in my wedding dress on this seat). for fsil’s bridal portraits she rented a car and it was a fun time for all(i didnt go as i was working). she has made the planning for this wedding positively MISERABLE!!! i almost dont even want to get married anymore as all i see for the rest of my life is having to live with her and deal with her shit(the only reason i do want to get married is b/c i love my fiance).

my parents and sisters are no longer a part of my life(their choice). my mother is an undiagnosed borderline personality and my father and sister go along with whatever she says to keep the peace. my father sent me an email about a year ago basically blaming me for the problems in his and my mothers marriage and telling me never to contact him or my sisters again(the email was copied to my mother). my mother over the years has spread several outright lies about me, up to and including saying that i and my fiance were responsible for our first childs death(even after the autopsy report was issued and listed SIDS as the cause and we knew that it wasnt the case even though we of course blamed ourselves). she also said that every child we would ever have would die, that my fiance killed our first child and that he was coming after me next, that i was a drug addict and a prostitute to support my habit(which is so UNTRUE it is ridiculous), etc. what little family i have outside of them kind of goes back and forth it seems w/ wanting to talk to me. both of my g’parents are gone(whom i was really close to on both sides) along w/ my g’g'mother.

there is almost no one coming to our wedding. most of my fiance’s family isnt coming for various reasons, mostly due to the economy(or at least thats what they say; i think they know that fmil doesnt like me and they just dont want to be seen supporting something she doesnt as she is perceived as the sub matriarch of the family), and my family is for the most part just not coming for almost any reason-distance, recently made vacation plans(even though they have known the wedding date for almost a year).

then today i found out one of my bm’s just got engaged. dont get me wrong here- i am really genuinely happy for her. im just kind of mad & jealous as her & new fiance have tons of family around them who are ELATED that they are finally getting married. they got engaged this week & are having an engagement party this weekend. we never had an engagement anything other than my ring, & my fiance asked me on valentines day when i was pregnant w/ our son-not really the height of romance, & when we told his parents, they didnt care & were not the least bit excited. they were just kind of like "oh.pass the potatoes."

i dont know whats wrong or how to fix it.

ok my childs grandmother is on welfare and she has to kids my daughters mother and her sister. they get welfare for the whole household which consists of the grandmother, my childs mother, my child, my childs aunt , and my childs cousin(aunts daughter).now welfare is supporting them all . Welfare started a child support case on me to get their money. now i pay child support, in which goes to my childs grandmother because she has custody from when my childs mother and i were minors we are both of age now and i still pay child support to the grandmother.the delima is that my babys mother calls me all the time for pampers, food, clothes, etc. basically everything that she needs. So in essence im paying twice for 1 child any advice on what should be done.P.S im better off then the other side i make a good living and offered to take full custody until she got on her feet but i was denied.please help. never married basically friends thats ended up having a kid

what im trying to say is, my sister is 13 and still has her baby blanket on her bed. she doesnt want to let go of it because our grandmother made it for me, and when my sister was born i gave it to her. that might not seem like a big deal but, you see, our grandmother died when i was two (my sister and i are four years apart).

so is it still babyish? i mean, my sister doesnt think it is, bc the blanket has sentimental value. and i guess she just doesnt want to let it go. so if u have any options, or think its babyish just please respond back. im interested to know

Where can I find this baby blanket online?




I don’t know the brand, but I want to a link to a certain baby blanket, the kind I had as a child. It was bought around 1995/1996 by my mom and grandmother. I think they got it at Sears. It is blue and 100% arlic. I know it comes in blue and green. The lining of the blankets were blue/green. On the blanket, the bordering is a poka dotted, and in each corner there is a picure of a doll, a bear, jack-in-the-box, and a rocking horse.

In the middle, there is a rocking horse, train, alphabet blocks, Winne the Pooh, a doll, and a Jack-in-the-box.

Thanks for all your effort!
