I start housetraining my pups as soon as they are relatively mobile and have their eyes open (about 3 weeks). For years I used a litterbox, now I use puppy pads (the litter used to get stuck to the puppy blankets and strewn through the house). I’ve had great success. A lot of the training seems to be in noticing when the pups “look” like they have to go… which of course means I have to be actually spending time watching pups….
Today I stumbled across this http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070827/ap_o… and it talks about potty training very young infants. The concept seems very similar to my puppy training.
Do you think more people would be successful housetraining their dogs if they used the same principles as potty training kids?

Just asking because they paid way more for a picture of her baby than Britney’s and they gave her tons of expensive free stuff for the baby.

Ok. I think I may be pregnant, but I am holding out to ask the answers community because I want to win the free diapers and stroller. Anyway, I will NOT find out the gender of the baby before delivery, but I want to have a name ready for either a boy or a girl.
I really like the name Babist de Bobo. What do you think? Will it work for either a boy or girl?

Please make sure you read the article to the end. What disturbs me most are these two things:
His mother took the diaper-less tot to a tree in the yard, held him in a squatting position and made a gentle hissing sound — prompting the infant to relieve himself on cue before he rushed back to play.
And then this:
Isis Arnesen, 33, of Boston, has a 14-week-old daughter, Lucia, who is diaper-free. She said it can be awkward to explain the process to people, such as when she helped Lucia relieve herself in a sink at a public restroom.
What are these people thinking? I mean, 3 years old is too old being diaper-free but starting from birth? And don’t forget – not all “must go now” can be accommodated, that means clean-up big time.
And why does it have to be the yard or the sink???? If you have to teach them, teach the the right way – A TOILET!!!!
I am just speechless. What do you think?

My friend wants to get one-share-of-Disney-stock for our friend’s baby shower because “It’s so cute!” I told her it’s a terrible gift because one-share is useless and now she’s upset with me.
She has been giving only Disney items to all our friends’ birthdays since she started working there. She thinks it’s justified because she didn’t get those stuff for free. It’s not about the price of the gifts! The problem is that she gives them out without considering the recipients. She just expect everyone likes Disney.
My group of friends are around early 30s and I found it very immature of her to have given me a Minnie Mouse doll for Christmas.
Anyway, do you think one-share-of-Disney-stock is a good idea? Does any parents out there actually WANT that gift? Any gift sugguestion? Would you prefer something practical, like a gift basket filled with dipers and baby toiletories?

I think it is sad the amount of women using formula instead of nursing their children probably with breast milk. A mother’s milk provides her baby with plenty of antibodies which prevent diseases in infants while formula comes nowhere close to it. In addition a mother’s milk is free while formula is expensive. Not only that, but since what goes into her milk comes ultimately from what she eats, it will cause women to eat healthier because they would want their baby to be healthier. I believe God gave women the capabilities to nurse their children for a reason and they should use them. Nursing will provide a mother an emotional bonding with their children that is unparalleled to any other activity they could do with them. Fathers need to step up here and ‘lay down the law’ and tell their child’s mother to nurse their baby. Formula should only be used by men because nursing can only be done by a woman.

does anyone no where i can get free baby stuff case i have no money

Momentum = Mass * velocity ===> Mo = MV
Impulse = Force * Time ====> I = FT
Impulse = Momentum ===> I = Mo
Force * time = Mass * Velocity ====> FT = MV
Distance = 0.5*Gravity* Time^2 + initial velocity * Time in seconds = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * Time in seconds^2 + initial velocity * Time in seconds
d = 0.5AT^2 + V1*T
Velocity = Acceleration * Time + initial velocity = 9.8 m/s^2 * Time in seconds + Initial Velocity
V = AT + V1
Force = Mass * acceleration = M * 9.8 m/s^2

I don’t want to cause bad friends… that’s my biggest concern. I’m just wondering how I can stop this from happening the rest of the summer. Their daughter is no problem to watch, she’s good as gold I just feel like she’s here all the time. I would like to have some time to spend with just me and my son. Also my son is starting to get jealous because she is always into his stuff and it wouldn’t be too bad if it was only now and again but it’s everyday!!! My son is four and she is six…. She is always telling on him… I don’t want to sound mean but I just wondered if anyone else had this problem before and if you could tell me how to deal with it, without making bad friends….
