Why are breastfed babies not anemic?
Bcause human milk contains iron and lactoferrin. Iron absorption human milk is 49% of available iron, whereas iron in fortified formula only has 4% absorbed. In human milk there are higher levels of vitamin C and lactose, which aid in the absorption of iron. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein that promotes iron absorption and utilization and inhibits the growth of iron-dependent microorganisms in the stomach such as e-coli, which can cause serious gastrointestinal problems in infants.

How do you get rid of a flabby baby belly?
Lose your baby belly fat by continuously shocking the body with a variety of exercise and diet. Here are some basic guidelines to get you started: 1. eat multiple meals. I recommend 4-6 small meals a day. This increases metabolism
2. Hold off on the sugar! - Juices, sodas and flavored drinks in particular. If you can't eliminate them, then at least reduce the amount. Drink water instead!
3. Limit starchy foods such as rice, pasta beans. Don't eat them too much for dinner. Starch takes a long time to digest and may induce insulin spikes.
4. Make sure you have a big breakfast! This sets the tone for the rest of the day
5. Stay away from "fat free" foods, they are usually loaded with sugar
6. breastfeed! Some woman report that they gain their pre pregnancy bodies by breastfeeding as long as possible!

It depends on how developed the baby is. In early stages you can't tell them apart. In later stages, if the baby is facing the right way, you can make out the genitalia if it's a boy.
call a local women and childrens shelter and get the heck away from him immediately...he is going to end up killing you...then what will happen to your baby? Get a restraining order on him and whatever you do, don't go anywhere alone and always look over your shoulder. You need to seek help immediately, not only for yourself but for your baby. The police will direct you who to call in your area to get a shelter.

Labor is defined as regular contractions that cause progressive cervical change. The key is CHANGE, so it is hard to tell when labor will start based on your dilation and effacement. Alot of women can spend weeks being 3cm/50% and not be in "labor" because their cervix isn't changing. If you are dilated, then it is safe to assume you will soon be going into labor, but that is not always the case.

"Rapid Eye Movement" is typically observed as a basic determinant of deep sleep. Aditionally, an EEG can be used to measure T-wave output. An oxymeter is used to determine oxygenation of the blood, and an EKG is used to minitor heart rate and pulse.
Any and all of these can be used to determine how well a baby sleeps.
