This Week’s Secret: My daughter, who is 2 months old now, is ugly. There is really no other way to say it. She is blotchy and red every day. She has infant acne and eczema, her hair is matted and full of cradle cap (and it’s black so you can see it well). I love her, obviously, and would do anything for her, but I am seriously concerned for her well being if she continues to look like this....
And I’m not alone. Carrie Fisher had such an impact on so many of us that there’s now an online movement for the “Star Wars” heroine to be granted the highest honor: to be turned into a Disney princess. The Change.org petition, which currently had over 35,000 signatures, calls Princess Leia to become an official Disney princess: The creator of the petition, Cody Christenson, is a father of five daughters....
According to a series of Facebook posts in the group Proud Parents of Unvaccinated Children-Texas that have since been deleted, self-described anti-vaxxer and pediatric nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, Brittany Bailey, revealed that she had been treating a toddler with measles — a rare infection. “For the first time in my career I saw measles this week,” she wrote. “And honestly, it was rough. This kid was super sick....

Since his attraction to her is breaking some sort of rule, and makes certain people feel uncomfortable or insecure, they conclude that something must be wrong with him, like he must have a fetish. “The reality is that attraction does not simply belong to thin people, and to deny that is denying the real, beautiful love that exists between so many so-called mismatched couples,” she tells CafeMom. “Beauty is not so narrowly defined and really if you believe it is, you are the ones missing out....
People with nocturnia get up once or more during the night to go to the bathroom. I have to confess I thought what I dealt with most people did — despite living with a man who never got up in the middle of the night. I thought he was just lucky — or an incredibly deep sleeper. Now there’s news that this condition might not just affect my sleep — but my work productivity....

They didn’t work. Of course I can look back now and understand that was because children are all different. They have different personalities and different temperaments, so what works for one child often won’t work for the next. The Pull-Ups® Potty Partnership – A Whole New Way to Potty Train Those differences in my kids’ personalities are the reason the Pull-Ups® Potty Partnership is such a big help. Based on research and observation of personality types in young children, Pull-Ups has developed five different potty training personalities: Puppy, Owl, Bear Cub, Turtle, and Squirrel....

Expectant mothers who have their labor induced never know how long after that their babies will come. Sometimes it takes a few hours — and sometimes a day or two. (Gulp!) What if we told you there’s a way for moms-to-be who need to be induced to deliver several hours earlier? A new study suggests that using combined labor-inducing treatments can reduce labor time — and could spare moms-to-be who get induced an estimated 2....
All. In. One. Truly, this is the future liberals want. These boot-leggings are basically what Catwoman wears on the weekend. Casual Selina Kyle. But if they’re too long, do you have to get your shoes… tailored? 2. HOW DOES ONE STORE THESE. Do you hang them up like pants, or stand them up like boots? Will I need to buy the lower half of a mannequin to make sure my boot-leggings keep their shape?...

Take a look at the interior below. The details (like the grand staircase!) will amaze you. Slip-covered furniture and custom curtains. I wonder if the apples are real? The staircase looks like it was definitely built to code. This sunny little alcove might be the coziest spot in the house. I wonder if this “play” kitchen has running water and a gas line for the stove? While I’m fascinated by this playhouse and happy to get a look inside, I have to say that it’s completely unappealing to me (not that I could ever afford it)....

Over the last 20 years or so, for many morbidly obese grown-ups, a last ditch effort to lose weight and reverse the negative-health effects of obesity has been bariatric/gastric bypass (or lap band) surgery. The intricate abdominal procedure is risky, yes, but the reward apparently far outweighs it (excuse the bad pun). On the question of obese teens, however, the FDA has been slow to approve this procedure–it is not performed on anyone under 16 years of age....
Of course, I “knew” what was going to happen when we found out that my wife was pregnant. I study health policy for a living, and I have written extensively about the American health care system. Yet for all the reading and writing, experiencing health care in America personally is a rather shocking experience. Keep in mind, our birthing experience was without any complications and we have health insurance. I cannot imagine how overwhelming the experience must be for someone with fewer resources and less of an understanding about health care in America....
What cost, you ask? Addiction and even accidental death. Of course, you never bargain for either — you just want your pain to END already. But women are more likely than men to be prescribed these dangerous drugs, and become dependent on them faster. Here’s everything you need to know about prescription painkillers, including how to stay safe if you absolutely must take them. What, exactly, are opioids? Simply put, they’re drugs that act on your nervous system to alleviate your sense of pain....
Here are 18 products YouTubers totally hated this month. “Usually, Wet N Wild can kill it with their matte liquid lipstick formula but these ones are just really not hitting.” “The amount per shadow was like a joke.” And the actual shadows’ formula? “They were super powdery, super chunky.” Manny MUA actually recommends you try the Zodiac palette ($22, Ulta) before the Jeremy Scott x MAC Cosmetics palette. “The Zodiac palette is nicer than this one....
These women are proudly embracing their stomach rolls and inspiring us to do the same.
She then accuses her friend of “instigating” the engagement because there was no formal proposal. She concludes her post by insisting that she is happy for her friend, just annoyed. Then, she asked other people on Mumsnet if she is being a “horrible bridezilla type.” And the responses she got were VERY clear.
