What are your suggestions or advice on how to get your child to stop bedwetting? Mine is seven and has done it ever since he was a toddler. I've taken him to the doctor several times and all they say is that it's normal, nothing to drink after a certain time, and no disciplining him (because he's not doing it on purpose). I don't get mad at him, because I myself remember being in elementary and having accidents awake or asleep every now and then until about 4th grade!

Is this hereditary? Should I take him to a specialist? I ask him why he does it and all he says is that he doesn't feel when he's going.

I'm not sure what to do anymore? Please help?

I need to know if I'm a prude or if my mom friends are less than normal. I recently watched the movie Away We Go with a group of my girlfriends. There's a scene where Maggie Gyllenhaal and her partner divulge their practice of having sex while their child is in the room. I said I could never do that. Some of my friends laughed at my naivety and said they did it regularly. I'd understand if their babies were little but we're talking 3- and 4-year-olds. That seems odd to me. What do you guys think? Am I wrong for thinking that is wrong?

I just read the story on teething and I'm in the same boat! My 15 month old is is so much pain and it's killing me to see him so sad. I've tried to give him frozen toys but they're too cold for his small hands. I'm too scared to try Baby Orajel and the teething toys work for a little bit but he gets sick of them and tosses them on the floor before he can get much relief.

Does anyone have any specific toys or remedies that I should try? Please help me before we both go crazy!

I have a wonderful 14-month-old niece and this Christmas I, of course, went a little present crazy. One of my favorites though was a kid's book called Fashion. The whole book is full of fashion word plays. My niece loves the book too and will go through and make the sounds of the animals. I took a couple of pictures of my favorites and had to share.

Just when I was settled into my routine as a mother, working woman and a wife, my nanny decided to leave us. I can't blame her — she found a family willing to give her more hours, which translates into more money. Like many normal jobs, she gave me two weeks notice but unfortunately for me, that's not a lot of time to get a new babysitter. Is it crazy to expect more time from her or is that the normal amount of time a babysitter should give for notice?

So it's common knowledge that leaving a baby alone in the bath — even for a second — is a huge no-no. But, when is it safe? My little one is four-and-a-half, and I've been letting her bathe by herself. I'll stay nearby so I can hear her and I check in on her every couple of minuets. Is that safe? Should I wait even longer? She can wash herself and she's very mature (for four). What do you girls think? What age is safe?

The game telephone may have been popular back in grammar school, but grown women get all kinds of information passed to them via email or word of mouth. Some forwards ring more true than others. If you want to share those sentiments or any of your own realizations about motherhood, join The Mommy Club over in our LilSugar community. User Bluesuze posted this one about subsequent kids that is sure to tickle your funny bone!

First baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN
confirms your pregnancy.
Second baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
Third baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.

Preparing For the Birth:
First baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
Second baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember breathing
didn't do a thing.
Third baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month.
