Relax,follow these steps and say goodbye to diapers. Your toddler has turned 2 and suddenly visions start filling your head: You see yourself taking a trip without a diaper bag. You look in the closet and imagine two cubic feet of extra space (no diapers!) She suddenly looks several pounds slimmer (no diapers!) Your wallet is fatter (no diapers!)
Yes, all those wonderful things will come to pass - but potty training won't happen overnight. It may not even happen within the next year. But it will - eventually - happen.

High cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease in adults, but some children may be at risk for premature coronary heart disease if they have high cholesterol levels earlier in life. Most parents don't know their children's risks, and health care providers often don't test children's cholesterol levels.
According to the American Heart Association, there is sound research that the process of cholesterol buildup in arteries begins in childhood. Childhood may be the time to intervene with lifestyle changes that include sound diet and plenty of exercise, especially for children determined to be at high risk. More...
Marc Sedaka stood by while he and his wife endured endless rounds of drug therapies, 16 artificial inseminations, 10 in-vitro fertilizations, three miscarriages and, finally, a gestational surrogate who carried their twin girls to term. With the help of his own infertility doctor, Dr. Gregory Rosen, Sedaka has crafted the book “What He Can Expect When She’s Not Expecting: How to Support Your Wife, Save Your Marriage, and Conquer Infertility.” Here is an excerpt.

All pregnant women should be screened for hidden signs of thyroid disease, according to Czech researchers. A blood test can pick up about a third of mothers-to-be who have no symptoms but will go on to develop full-blown disease after giving birth, they say. Early detection could have major implications for the health of mothers and babies, they told the European Congress of Endocrinology. UK midwives say more evidence is needed of the merits of screening. The study, led by Dr Eliska Potlukova of Charles University in Prague, followed almost 200 women through early pregnancy and beyond. More...
Babies who cry excessively and have problems feeding and sleeping have a greater risk of serious behavioural problems later in life, say scientists. One in five babies has symptoms that could lead to conditions such as ADHD, according to research published in Archives of Disease in Childhood. More...
A gene linked to premature births has been discovered, scientists in the US and Finland have said. The researchers hope their study, published in PLoS Genetics, could eventually lead to a test for women at risk of a pre-term birth. In the UK, one in 10 babies is born before the 37th week of pregnancy, with potential problems for their health. More...
Many women who have trouble conceiving turn to fertility drugs, but a Canadian-led research team warns there may be an underappreciated risk: The treatments most frequently prescribed to aid pregnancies have the potential to spread Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The controversial research, which was funded in part by the federal government, tested dozens of samples of the most commonly available fertility drugs from around the world, and found that all those with pregnancy-enhancing hormones extracted from human urine contained prion proteins.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) one in every eight babies in the U.S. is born premature annually. Preterm or premature babies are less than 37 weeks old. A full term birth is 40 weeks. Babies born too early have a higher risk of developmental issues, breathing difficulties, death and other long-term health issues. More...
Gene tests that virtually eliminate the chances of couples having a baby with an inherited disease have been approved by a watchdog. The Human Genetics Commission said there was no legal, ethical or social reason why people should not be screened for genetic mutations before they start a family. More...
Exercise during pregnancy benefits not just the mother's heart, but her baby's heart as well, a new study finds. The results show regular exercise during pregnancy lowers the heart rate of the fetus, and this effect persists for a month after the baby is born. A low heart rate indicates that the baby's heart is in good health, much like an adult that has gone through training. More...
