I have a 3 yr old son who does not sleep.  On a good night he will sleep 5 hrs.  that wouldn't be so bad if it was all at one time, but it's not.  He will sleep for an hour or two at a time.  We both work 40 hr. wks.  and are exhausted.  We have tried a few natural remedies and nothing has worked.  We got a prescription for a sedative yesterday and tried it last night.  It didn't work.  He climbed the walls all night last night and all day today.  The doctor said to stop giving it too him because it had an opposite affect, and that he doesn't have anything else to offer him.  HELP!!!! We need sleep.

I am a mother with 3 children, I breast fed all 3.  When i had my first child I was terrified to breast feed in public, I was afraid of what other people would think.  The best advice i got was from my mother, she said would more people be upset if they had to hear your baby screaming or if you were breast feeding.  I would be more upset at some mother letting their baby scream because someone might be offended if they breast fed.  How would you like to be told you cant eat because people dont want to see you chew....it sounds stupid doesnt it.  so why would it be any different when you are feeding a child.  get over it!!!  Babies were being breast fed before they were getting bottles, it is better for a baby to be breast fed, so if you dont like it dont look!
