Any advice about avoiding constipation in a preemie who is receiving formula. Any home remedies/md advice?

Baby seems to be struggling to poop. How long can he go without pooping before we should worry. What are signs to look at for and how can we avoid the situation all together? ThanksAny advice about avoiding constipation in a preemie who is receiving formula. Any home remedies/md advice?
when my daughter was born she had the same problem, i had to switch her to the soy formula,her doctor said she was to young for prunes or prune juice, so we had to use a suppository.being an infant she should poop at least 2 times a dayif it goes longer then 2 days and a supposiyory isnt helping i would set up a doctor apptAny advice about avoiding constipation in a preemie who is receiving formula. Any home remedies/md advice?
I am a mother of 7 and I consider myself kind of an expert. I would be concerned after about 24 hrs as long asa the baby is eating well. Feel the abdomen and if it feels hard or is petruding slightly then is probably constipated. It is ok to give a newborn even a preemie up to 4 ounces of water a day even though some doctors will tell you when the baby is eating they should only be consuming calories. Although the water will help.
i breastfed my preemie.. she needed all the help she could get (as do all preemies... have you considered trying to relactate?). i do know that they strongly suggest that you don't switch to soy without your dr's advice, especially when dealing with a preemie. my pediatrician recommended karo syrup, about 1/2 a teaspoon in 2-3oz bottle of expressed breast milk to help my preemie being able to void.
My sons a preemie also, I was told it was ok not to have bowel movements for up to 7 days as long as he was still passing gas.





I use Enfamil Gentlease formula as my son was having a hard time with bowel movements. He seemed to be in a lot of pain while on just regular Enfamil Lipil. After i changed to Enfamil Gentlease he seemed like he wasn't in pain anymore :)
I heard that switching to a soy formula would help. Its easier to digest then the stuff that has the cows stuff in it....and i suppose just watch for fussiness. My doctor told me that if he (my babe) was crying during or right after a feeding that that generally means hes having some kind of tummy issue. but they also told me that babies can get reflux right now and deal with alotta gas issues on formula. so watch for that stuff too?
i agree, breast milk does help, and 4 oz of water wouldn't hurt either. my niece had the same problem, and when they took her to the e.r, all they did was give her some water and wait for her to poop. babies are to have at least 7 dirty diapers a day, so after 24 hours and still no poop, i think you should see a doctor

Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?

makes sense, because selling a house is just another deal, like buying a baby.


WHAAAAAT????Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?
I have a better explanation for the phenomenon of ';spiritual'; advice, it's called guessing, lying, and manipulation. A stranger who pretends to have contact with the supernatural will have nothing else to offer you. The only advice you need is thoughtful reflection, careful study of the facts, weighing one's options honestly and realistically, and open communication with your living loved ones, yourself, and whatever agencies or individuals you are thinking of doing business with.Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?
You should speak to a cleric of your religion (priest, rabbi, imam, etc.)





It's almost impossible to give spiritual advice to someone who doesn't share your beliefs. I suggest talking to your religious leaders about spiritual matters.
Well, I'm pretty sure not here!





I would suggest speaking with a leader (professional or otherwise) you trust in your spiritual community. Don't have a spiritual community? Then I'd suggest finding one.
Go to your pastor or minister. If you do not have one go to a church. you really should begin attending services regularly it will change your life
I suppose it depends what religion you are, but I think most God's are a bit busy to deal with the selling of houses?
Consult a Magic 8 Ball.
Call Sylvia Browne.





She knows all.
I'm here. How can I be of service. Ask away.
Use your own gut feelings and follow your heart.

17 year old in need of advice about weight control?

i am 17, and i am 207 lbs. i am on weight watchers right now but its hard because i have a depression disorder that messes with my appetite. I eat when i am bored, and overly upset.





i need advice on how to feel full without eating foods that will keep me the weight i am .17 year old in need of advice about weight control?
drink lots of water whenever you feel sad or craving something chug a glass or water or enough until you feel satisfied





also chew gun all the time keeps your mind off food and you can choose flavors as long as its like 5 calorie or less sticks...one piece can last all day believe me





exercise everyday and eat fiber rich veggies





and lastly drink black coffee its great warms you up, gives you energy, and burns calories as long as its caffeinated without sugar or milk added





hope these help you17 year old in need of advice about weight control?
No, you need to fight boredom and depression. Being full does not stop mindless eating. If you must eat, eat veggies and fruit. But it would be better to go for a walk, play with the dog, work in the yard, build a treehouse - anything to keep your hands occupied. Regular exercise will help you feel better, sleep better, and stay occupied.





I've done WW, all the food advice is there. Go back and reread your pamphlets, and pay attention this time. You may need to see your psychologist, too - your response to meds will change as you get older, change your eating habits, exercise, etc.





I know depression can seem overwhelming. But do you want to spend the rest of your life dependent on meds? Take control now, learn to drag yourself off the couch when you absolutely don't want to - you have to fight to take your life back. You're halfway there just asking for help, now comes the hard part - actually changing yourself.





Good Luck!

    Is there a way of knotting a stone into a hemp necklace rather than using regular beads.

    Maybe you could hot glue them there.

    Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?

    How can I defrost chicken breast quickly. And it's my first time to make a turkey for thanks giveing. Can someone explain what I need and how. In a simple way I can understand. Thanks.Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?
    First the Chicken: Fill a bowl full of HOT water and put the package of chicken in the water...you can also try the defrost on the microwave, but sometimes it kinda cooks the edges.


    Second-the Turkey: Depending on the size of your Turkey and if you are going to stuff it or not, you need to determine when you want to eat. Here is the simple cooking instructions---- I usually cook a 15-18 lbs.Turkey and I get up around 5:00am and put it in the oven. Most of your Turkey's have cleaning and cooking instructions on the packaging. Follow the instructions....Then after you clean your Turkey, melt a stick of butter and coat your Turkey well and salt and pepper the outside. Cover tightly with tin foil and put into a 325 degree oven and let the oven do the rest. Check around 3 hours later and start basting it with the juices that are in the pan. Then you can baste every hour and a half till done. On the last half hour of cooking, remove the foil from Turkey except leave foil on the tips of the wings (they tend to cook/brown too fast) and let your Turkey get golden brown. Remove, baste last time and let Turkey cool at least 15-20 minutes before you remove stuffing and start to carve. Enjoy!!


    HAPPY THANKSGIVING :-)Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?
    Putting it in HOT water is a big No No. Get a food safety guide. That puts it in the danger zone temp. wise

    Place your chicken zip lock bag and let it thaw in a large bowl of room temp water. Change the water frequently and it will quicken the thawing time.





    In regards to the turkey, go to Butterball's web site. There is a ton of info. They also have an 800 number for support.
    You posted this question twice and I answered the first one initally but since it seems there are most responses here I'll copy n paste here in case the other post was an error:





    Well from what I've learnt the best (healthiest) way to defrost meats are to place them in the fridge overnight, but since you said quickly I'm assuming you are in a pinch and need the frozen meat to cook ASAP. There are two methods I usually use..choose the one you prefer:





    1) Cold Water Thawing


    The meat has to be a leak-proof package or container else the meat tissue will absorb the water as it thaws. Fill a bowl with cold tap water (don't use warm water as it can encourage bacteria growth) and submerge the package of meat, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Generally speaking, small packages of meat like say 1 pound will partially thawed in about 15 minutes, or completely defrosted in 45 mins to 1 hr. give or take.





    2) Microwave Thawing


    Of course this is kinda touch and go in terms of thawing time cause of the differences in microwave but the meat should be put on a plate and loosely wrapped with plastic wrap (not the store packaging that the meat came in). Use the defrost setting if your microwave has one, or if not, just monitor the meat as it thaws to prevent cooking meat before it is thoroughly thawed. What I normally do is put it on for a few mins like 3 and then take it out and test it with freshly washed hands to see how defrosted it is and then adjust the remaining time from there.





    What do you want to know in particular about cooking the turkey? Do you want to know how to cook it from beginning like right out the package to end on your table with stuffing etc?





    Hope this helps!
    Put it in a pan and put it in the sink with a slow stream of running water on it, cold water. I would tell you to use the micro but that tends to make them rubbery and starts to cook them a little. A chicken breast should not take that long to thaw.
    Abt turkey after u follow the instructions of cleaning the turkey acc to instructions .buy back bacon abt a kg. gently seperate the skin from the fleshof the turkey layer strips of the bacon until all of the turkey i is well lined with the bacon. Now in the inner and outer side smear and marinade the entire bird with ginger garlic paste and sourlime juice and just a dribble of hot chilli sauce. let it marinade for 5 to 6 hours. If u feel like filling the guzzle and tummy. then you can try this filling. take a kg of onions and mince finely to this add atsp of ginger garlic paste. fry all well take half kg of liver dice into very small cubes. add to the fry mixture . take half a kg of potatoes peel and dice into small cubes add to the filling take half kg of green peas add to the filling take half kg of tomatoes and add to the filling let all this fry in 2 tablespoon of butter till well cooked. in a seperate frying pan take 300gms of brown raisins and fry well remove from fire add to filling, take 500 gms of almonds blanched them and sliver them into halves. fry them light brown. add all to filling. Now stuff the turkey. and sew up the opening well. Brush the entire bird with butter. and bake till tender.
    Yeah, I just took a serv safe class recently. This is how you thaw foods correctly. You can put it in a fridge-41 degrees Celsius or lower.You can run potable water at the temp of 70 degrees Farenheit or lower over it. You can put it in a microwave oven,if the food will be cooked immendiately after thawing.If you put in the microwave, sometimes you have to be careful because it will start to cook the meat.
    Take it out now or defrost in microwave (you will have to watch it carefully so it doesnt cook in the microwave.)

    Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?

    About a week and a half ago I drastically changed my diet to lose weight. I'm counting calories (usually staying under 1500), drinking ONLY water, adding healthy fruits %26amp; veggies, munching on frozen slim fast shakes for a snack, and even started doing a 2-mile aerobic DVD. In the first 4 days I lost 7 pounds, but since then I've only dropped one more pound. It seems too soon to be hitting a plateau!!! Help???Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?
    After a week and half, there's no reason to worry about a plateau yet. Plus, 7 pounds in 4 days is astonishingly fast. Normally healthy weight loss happens at about 1-2 lbs per week. Hopefully some of the 7 pounds is water weight that your body dumped as a reaction to your change in diet.Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?
    I tend to disagree with the water ';counter';...you really don't need to drink so many ounces a day per say, just go by your.....';tinkle';..!! if your urine is clear each time you go to the bathroom, you are fully hydrated. A darker yellow color means just to drink more water...I teach/work -out a lot and this has definitely work for me....
    Drink plenty of water evenly through the day, eight or more glasses total. As soon as you wake up, try and drink 16 ounces of cold water. Drinking water is one of the most rapid weight loss tips that dieticians suggest to people and leads to 100+ calories extra burned a day. Eat six small meals a day. Typical times are 7:30am, 10:00am, 12:30pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, and 9:00pm. Lunch should be the largest. Other meals consist only of 1/2 palm sized peice of protein and one fist size organic carbohydrate food. Your palm and fist.


    A great tip for how to lose weight fast, easy and safe is that you should have your last large meal about three hours before you go to sleep. It's ok to have a very small snack after that. Eat organic vegetables and fruits for breakfast like apples, non-fat yogurt, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots. Don't depend upon fat burning diet supplements. They won't go a long way in helping you sustain your reduced weight. Soft drinks contain 150 empty calories, you must substitute 1 can of soft drink (soda) with water each day. Every 20 soft drinks you skip from your normal intake equates to about one pound of weight loss. Diet sodas can stop you from losing weight, therefore drink and equal amount of water immediately after a diet drink to help flush your system or better yet, avoid diet drinks every other day if you have the will power all days except your ';cheat day';. (See below)


    Being bored at your house, especially in the evening, becomes a cause of over eating. So keep yourself busy by meeting a friend, walking around the block, ride a bike around town, go see a movie, etc. Don't just sit on the couch all the time. As important as it is to pay attention to the fact that we eat the right food, equally vital is to keep a watch on the quantity. A good rule of thumb is: protein fits in the palm of your hand, carbohydrate fist size, and no fatty ad-ons (butter, dressing, etc). But dark greens (spinach, green beans, etc.) eat as much of those as you want because those are very healthy for you. (Broccoli is one of the best for this, but I recommend steamed) Eat your food slowly with each mouthful taking 30 seconds. Pause your eating half way through 5 minutes. Your body needs ten minutes to tell your mind it's full. Remember, eat slow. Go for a one hour walk 5 days a week. This does not to be a power walk but a faster pace will help your weight. If possible, carry some light 2-5 pound dumb bells. The ultimate tip to eventual success: regular exercise and a balanced diet. And one cheat day to your diet to rid yourself of cravings. But remember not to over eat on your cheat day.


    Good luck!

    What are your thoughts about this advice?

    Two years ago when i graduated high school i was in USMC JROTC and my Senior Marine instructor told me that ..


    The military is not for everyone, College is not for everyone, but everyone is expected to work.





    what is your take on what he said? what are your thoughts about it? is this advice he told me true?What are your thoughts about this advice?
    I think he was being honest with you. The military is not the same as it once was and it is not for everyone. In this day and age of information technology getting a general discharge is not a good thing and is easy for employers to find out about. Not only that but the service used to try and find a place for you to fit in but doing less with more, the high ops tempo, along with the difference in generations that we now have it is not the place to be if you don't like it or can't stay out of trouble.





    At the same time you will probably have to work unless you come from a family with money, win the lottery, or marry money. You know your economic situation better than me but if you don't come from a family with money what are the odds of marrying it or winning the lottery. As for college there are many jobs that don't require college but do require involment in going to school and getting into some kind of a skilled trade that you can make a halfway decent living in. Some people go to college for the wrong reasons or don't finish it and end up owing a lot in loans and grants these days. They then drop out and do something else but the bill for their schooling still remains to be paid. Some of that can be avoided is what he is also saying to you and that you need to consider your choices carefully and try to make the best one for you especially since it is you that will have to ultimately live with the outcome from it.What are your thoughts about this advice?
    It seems like a very bright and non judgmental piece of advice. And, he's right. It sounds like he believes you are squared away and know yourself well and are capable of making the right individual decision for you.





    Good advice. Sounds like a good guy.
    Of course its true, a simple and sad fact of life... So do one or the other or both and hope for a career you love... Good luck... :)
    YES ,





    smart person who does not seem to pressure people into the military.
    Keep your mind open.
    Yea, that's true.
    Hard to know exactly what he meant without really understanding the context when he said it. But yes, every nations success and economy depends on productivity. And productivity is derived from people working and pulling their own weight. We work to produce the goods and services other people make and offer. We can buy them because we earn money producing goods and services. A win - win situation. It's what keeps an economy afloat. People who don't work and strive to improve their lives are just an anchor. How we choose to earn a living is as vast and as full of opportunity as we want it to be.

  • I need career advice, thinking about a career in the FBI as a criminal profiler?

    I'm still not sure yet but i think I want to become a supervisory special agent with the NCAVC or a criminal profiler as its more commonly known. Of course I realize that I will spend many years as an FBI special agent first and even then getting into the NCAVC and even then its not guaranteed. I'm only a freshman in high-school but I want to start planning on a career as soon as possible. Right now I'm just looking for any kind of advice such as useful courses to take in college, working conditions of an FBI special agent and/or criminal profiler or alternate careers in the FBI.


    I'm generally an intelligent person and I'm good at figuring things out and reasoning- I'm a logical thinker. I just want a career where i can use my skills and also make the world a better place in some way. If you know of any other careers (in or outside criminal justice) that sound like what I'm looking for that would also be a big help.





    Thank you for all your help.I need career advice, thinking about a career in the FBI as a criminal profiler?
    Getting in to the FBI is very difficult. Getting in to the elite NCAVC is even more challenging. I use to be interested in working for the FBI until I learned that you have no choice on where you will be stationed. Needless to say, I've researched what it takes to get in to the FBI. I also chose a course of study in college that will help to get in to the criminal justice system.


    Working towards joining the FBI starts in high school. You have to consistently work hard to get good grades and boost your resume with community service and extra-curricular activities. When it comes to choosing a major in college there are several that the FBI recommends. Most people believe that Criminal Justice would be the obvious choice, but in actuality, that is not one of the recommended majors. The FBI's website list four majors that they are interested in. These include Accounting, Law, Language, and Computer Science. I recommend that you try to double major in college choosing one of the above mentioned majors and also psychology (to help with the NCAVC). While your in college you should definetly apply for an honors internship with the FBI. You must have at least a 3.0. Additionally, it is important that you maintain a high GPA your entire college career.





    After college you could try and apply to the FBI right away. You may also choose to further your education and increase your chances of being hired by obtaining your masters, law degree, or doctorate.





    Another job that might interest you is becoming an intelligence analyst for anyone of the federal agencies (military, CIA, FBI, DEA, etc.).I need career advice, thinking about a career in the FBI as a criminal profiler?

    Can someone give me advice about choosing a monolouge?

    This is meant to be more geared to film and tv casting agents. Thank YouCan someone give me advice about choosing a monolouge?
    Make sure you pick one that you can relate to. A character of a similar age, experiences and ideas about life. When you are starting out with film and television you want to choose a character that you can naturally step into - a camera picks up if you're faking it a lot better than a theatre.





    Check out this site, you should be able to find what you are looking for here:


    http://www.whysanity.net/monos/





    All the best :)Can someone give me advice about choosing a monolouge?
    Do not pick something done too often.





    Don't get out the old 'This one works every time'. It will become stale and look too fake. Pick something new but within your reach.





    Play a character you can sympathise with.





    Choose a monlogue which allows you to show different emotions. You have to have gone on a sort of emotional journey through the monlogue- there could be laughter, there could be tears.





    Don't address monlogues directly at the agents, if you're meeting them face to face- i.e. don't bring them in. If your monlogue is addressed to a girlfriend, don't perform it to a female agent. It looks like you're begging and it makes them feel awkward.





    Don't come 'in character'

    What is the best advice about life that you would give to someone?

    What is the best advice about life that you would give to someone?
    Life to me is like a pendulum that swings between both pleasure and pain. It can be difficult to keep a delicate balance. Rejoice when the pendulum swings in the way of pleasure and when it unexpectedly swings the other way, surround yourself with family and friends, keep your head on straight, try to think rationally and remember time heals most of your pain.
    Accept reality as it is as if you want reality to change as if you someone to be differnet. Since that person or something can't change and you start to argue in your head why can't he/she be or do this or why does this have to happen. When you do this you enter stress because fighting with reality the answer to who's going to win is a no brainer. Reality is always going to win as all your going to get from that fight is stress as reality of course fells nothing.
    Nothing and everything is not permanent in life. Life will always change and so will you. Its up to you to keep living in the present and learn from your mistakes. And never thinking you'll not make it in something is bull unless you take risks. I strongly think taking risks in important. Even if the outcome isn't what you expected; you experienced it and learn from that.
    The best advice that I could give someone about life is pretty simple. Don't sweat the small things, they don't matter in the long run. Although I can't follow my own advice, that would be what I would tell someone.
    life is short, live it to the fullest, have fun be crazy dont take it for granted, regret nothing, forgive, never forget

  • I have a hamster and I want some advice about hamster food.?

    I have bought two different makes of hamster food which I have put into a sealed container. However, when I open the container to give the hamster new food, these little moth type things fly out of the food! Its not very nice! Has anyone else had this problem? And can anyone recommend a type of hamster food that doesn't contain these little moth type things!I have a hamster and I want some advice about hamster food.?
    Get rid of this horrible food as fast as you can!! Go to the store and show them!! Hamsters also need fresh food like lettuce and carrots. Unsalted peanuts are good to. Cornflakes are fine to give a hamster as are all cereals. Make sure the cereal is not coated with sugar or other flavourings. Try not to overfeed though.I have a hamster and I want some advice about hamster food.?
    i get my hamster food from tescos and i have never had any problem with it. and maybe keep the food in its original container.
    ewww not nice take it back to the shop its contaminated there should be nothing in the food, their is a food called reggie rat and they cater for all small animals they contain all the nutrients that the little creatures need, if in doubt ask at your local pet store.
    You've got to get some new food for your hamster, I've two of them and I usually feed them these black seeds which they really love. Also I add in different varieties, such as giving them waffles once.
    Yuck! You need to dispose of this food - no food should have things growing in it! And I'd mention it to the pet store you bought it from!





    Any store-bought hamster mix should be fine, so long as it is specifically for hamsters and not any other rodent. If it has mould or insects in it, complain to the pet store - and use another store!

    Can anyone give me advice about seeking child support?

    my niece is 11 and never recognized by her dad. we know the mans name and the military base where he is stationed but..when we went to the state to have him start paying child support they said they needed his social security num. which i think is ridiculous cause thats not public knowledge .(i thought that was their job). what do we do?Can anyone give me advice about seeking child support?
    Is the father named on the birth certificate? If he is than you need to hire an attorney and they will get you what is necessary to get all the child support - back, current, and future - that is due to the Mom/child.





    If the father is NOT named on the birth certificate you have little to no recourse unless you have a paternity test done proving that he is the father.





    The military is a great place to contact if he is named on the birth certificate because they take these matters very seriously. If he was mandated 11 years ago to pay child support and hasn't he could be in serious legal trouble as well as trouble with the military.Can anyone give me advice about seeking child support?
    Go to your states web site and look for child support enforcement information, most give step by step instructions on what to do. SSN helps but gather everything you guys know, the more info the better. I know the MI web site has it listed under DHS. There are also child support enforcement agencies that may or may not charge a fee, such as www.csskids.com. Look into all state help 1st, if they are not helpful, try the federal government as they oversee all child support. Good luck.

    Talking to my son about Masturbation, advice please?

    I don't think my 13 year old son masturbates, and don to believe he ever has.I am concerned that he is never has, and in turn,l be embarrassed on his first time. Over this past year i have tried to catch him masturbating, in order to congratulate him. My efforts were unsuccessfull. Im thinking that i should show him how. Should we masturbate together as a part of a father son thing, or should i take him to the doctor?Talking to my son about Masturbation, advice please?
    That... Is... Sick...





    If anything.. Jus ';accidently'; leave porn on.. He'll figure it out...Talking to my son about Masturbation, advice please?
    1.) please DO NOT try to catch your son masturbating!!!


    2.) please DO NOT make masturbation a ';father son'; thing, it is NOT something you should do together, it is not something to condone,nor should you even want to be there is he is doing that!!!!!


    3.) masturbating is NOT something you WANT your son to do...I know society has made masturbation seem acceptable or normal, but is not.


    Masturbation is a sign that someone lacks maturity or self control and regards himself as no more than an animal who does not have the ability to control his urges.


    instead, commend him on his maturity in refraining from that behavior, and teach him techniques to help distract him from those urges when or if he gets those urges.


    But you probably will not take my advice since you dont seem to have been taught those values yourself.
    Ewww, k, first off, you should NOT masturbate with him...that is really really weird. Hearing your parents tell you about sex is awkward enough...nevermind them offering to show you how!!! Yikes. I feel bad for your son. Don't try to catch him, just sit him down, give him the sex talk, and tell him that masturbation is totally normal and he shouldn't feel guilty for doing it. Don't bother with a doctor, you should handle this yourself (but PLEASE PLEASE don't masturbate as a father son thing...take him fishing or something to tell him about it)
    What is wrong with you??? Masturbate TOGETHER??? I don't know about the rest of you, but masturbating is definitely NOT on the father/son to do list as a bonding activity. That's wrong of you to wonder about and try to catch him in the act of doing. What the hell??? I'm kind of at a loss of words on this one...are you trying to be funny or are you serious? Quit trying to catch him in the act! That's abnormal-obviously you did it when you were younger and nobody pestered you. Let him discover it on his own! Trust me, if he has a penis, he will...
    LOLOL you cannot be serious, A father/Son J.O. Session, get real, geez. First of all it's none of your business, and believe me that is the last thing he will ever want, for you to catch him. How dare you anyway, trying to catch him. Congratulate him? You'll embarrass him to tears, YIKES. What possible reason would he need a Doctor? Any fact that he may or may not have already masturbated, has no relation to being physically unable. Gads, this is insane.





    Angel
    Omg don't walk in on him!!!!!! Omg no no no no no no no. Just leave him alone. Imagine your conversation with the doctor: 'My son doesn't masturbate. He is ill'. Don't masturbate with him either! Thats so wrong. Just leave the boy alone. Why do you need to congratulate him? Leave him thats such a private thing.
    Talk to him about it. No demonstration is necessary. You boys have had it in your hand since you were infants (there are 3 newborn boys in my life right now, I know this first hand, lol). He's probably figured it out already, so just let him do his thing and bring it into conversation when you talk about sex.
    Dude masturbation is done privately or with the opposite sex that you love not a father son thing. Its just gross if you do it together. He should do it on his own and if he doesn't do it then thats fine. Its a thing that you can do and won't do and you still be fine.
    never do it together that borderlines child abuse and you can get in trouble for that. and dont try and catch your son he will do it when he's ready. maybe he only does it when ur away because he doesnt want use to see. or maybe he doesnt think abotu that yet he is only 13
    ';Should we masturbate together as a part of a father son thing,';





    lmao, are you actually serious?


    DON'T DO THAT!


    that could scar him for life...


    just let him do what he wants, once the hormones kick in he will do it more and more...but don't purposely try to catch him.
    okay if ur son is 13 then i don't think u need to give him a talk....maybe he does do that but he's good at hiding it. and why the heck would u masturbate w/ him? but he's a big boy and he can figure it out on his own okay? so don't do that.
    Leave it alone, it's better he never knows than you telling him. I didn't know what masturebation was til last year when I was 15and i don't do it. How would you show him how it's done? would you do it in front of him.
    I started around there. Every boy starts around that time.





    Umm that would be so weird if you guys did it together.





    He will do it on his own and if you catch him thats great.





    But I have never been caught and us guys are really tricky when it comes to these things
    Do it together wtf is wrong with u are nasty and gross see a professional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!鈥?br>




    By the way he's only 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Barely a teenager!!!!! He's not even in high skewl and u want him to have sex!!!! whats are you 19? knocked up a girl at 10!?!
    Are you a pervert. When and if your son masturbates is none of your business. I think you should be reported to the police and childrens welfare dept, and I will do my best to get that done.
    I think doing it together would be creepy. trust me. any 13 year old would hate you forever for it. did your dad teach you?! let him figure it out on his own and STOP trying to catch him 'cause its a private thing.
    Just let it be! He will hear about things like that from school, and then he will probably do it. Don't do it with him. That is gross,and would create an awkward situation for him!
    Im almost 100% certain that if he hasn't figured it out yet, he will soon. I don't think you should sit him down to talk about it...or continue to try and catch him in the act
    ';Im thinking that i should show him how. Should we masturbate together as a part of a father son thing';





    naaaarsty.


    yet hilarious.
    I hope you are trolling. If not, you should speak to your doctor about your issues on this subject. Leave your kid alone, he'll touch himself when he's good and ready.
    SICKO
    DUDE are you crazy if you want him to be scarred for life keep doing what your doing %26amp; we will have another serial killer in 10 years just leave out some Playboys %26amp; let nature take its course
    do it together? sounds like a lawsuit waiting to HAPPEN!
    do it together? wtf is wrong with youuu???!
    just keep trying to catch him
    not even gonna touch that one...

    Some advice about changing and making new friends?

    for a while now i've kind of lost interest in my friends, they just do the same thing everyday and i hate it. I did like hanging with them, but not anymore. how do I find people that I would like?Some advice about changing and making new friends?
    Its always tough to leave friends and make new ones, but there are plenty of ways to go about it. You should also not abandon your current friends... the grass is not always greener on the other side. Maybe you should suggest to your friends that they try something new.Some advice about changing and making new friends?
    sounds like youre outgrowing them. what are your interests? join a group or a club maybe? or maybe ask your friends if they want to do something different. maybe theyre as bored as you are!!

    Financial advice about opening a Pension scheme?

    Where can I get impartial advice about opening a Pension scheme for myself when I get half my ex husbands Naval Pension? My Solicitor says I must have one in place for my share when the order goes through. Is it a free service? I hope this explains enough for someone to answer my query. Thank you.Financial advice about opening a Pension scheme?
    For the best annuity rates which are provided impartially try the Financial Services Agency. Log into fsa.gov.uk/tables and they list the best rates. I would select the best three or four and ask your financial adviser to get THEM to quote formally not his pet company from whom he gets the best commission.


    You could of course approach the pension company direct.


    IFA's usually take their commissions from the pension company so you should not have to pay them but you should ask your people to confirm this.


    Like you I have never considered IFA's truly independent.





    Best wishes.Financial advice about opening a Pension scheme?
    First, ask your solicitor to suggest one, ';Who would you call if this were for you?';





    Second, if I grasp the situation correctly, then banks, brokers, and insurance companies all have people that will happily help you. There will be a fee, but they usually take it when the money starts flowing into your 'scheme'.
    Most companies will not charge you for a rollover. You may want to roll the funds into an IRA account. A fixed or indexed annuity is also an option.
