Haylen will most likely be taking over the WebMD Parenting:Preemies Community on Monday. I'll still be around on WebMD, but I know I leave you in good hands and will miss this community! You members that do pop in here are truly amazing and wonderful mothers. Be proud of yourselves and your little ones!
Please welcome Haylen. She will be introducing herself soon!
Sending thoughts of health and happiness for 2011 and beyond!View Thread

First of all, congratulations on your son and I will pray that things are okay! I'm a little confused on his age, though. He is 9 months old without taking his prematurity into consideration? I also am wondering exactly what the motor skills and other concerns are that he is lacking according to the early intervention program to diagnose him with cerebral palsy. What does his pediatrician say?
Here is a WebMD Baby Milestone Slideshow that might help you to compare some of his activity by time line. I know that you are panicked, but try to stay calm. This may not be the case and if it is, there are many treatments, information and therapy. I look forward to hearing from you and my thoughts are with you! ((((((hugs)))))) Please take care and keep us posted.View Thread

I agree with simerlm that you shouldn't be too worried. Infants can begin teething anywhere from 3 months to a year old. Here is a great WebMD Teething Overview for you to look over and get more information. Our preemies tend to be on a slower schedule, but often catch up quickly as they get older. Take care and Happy Holidays!

This week we're calling for Healthy Cookie Recipes. By healthy, we mean a cookie that is good and good for you! Cookies that will still soothe a holiday sweet tooth, but are chock full of good-for-you things like nuts, dried fruits, and/or organic sugars. They can be low-fat,
low-calorie, low-carb and don't forget low-effort.
Do you have a yummy cookie recipe you'd like to share? Maybe you have an original traditional recipe but you've figured out what to substitute to make it healthier?
A few notes:
- The cookie recipe must be posted on the Food and Cooking Community in order to be considered in the taste test.
- If you're sharing a recipe from another site, please be sure to share the source and the link.
- Any pictures you have of the cookies are encouraged, too!
We hope you'll share by going to the link below and posting:

Oh, one more thing — we've got a surprise for one lucky submitter this week. Stay tuned!View Thread
