Somehow, everyone seems to be an expert on how you should raise your children. While it would be nice to be surrounded by people who supported and accepted your parenting choices, this isn't always the way... read more

Asking around other parents I keep hearing the same thing...
Get Baby Used to Noise Early
Get your baby used to background noise, especially when they're sleeping, as early as possible. Then when they're subjected to noise it probably won't bother them, compared to if they're used to quiet.

Discussion Issue
Have you, or anyone you know,
ever suffered from a miscarriage?
Studies show that up to one in four women who know they are pregnant will have a miscarriage before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Even though it is not uncommon, that doesn't make it any less painful.
Have you ever had a miscarriage or do you know of anyone who has? How did you/they cope?
