Please Help Me Calm Down

I was hoping to wait until around 3 or 4 to get my son the chickenpox vaccine and now it's apparently going around my area according to SickWeather app. Of course they don't offer details but we've been shopping a lot. Can my son get the virus from shopping or walking by someone that might not know they have it yet? Does it live on surfaces for a long time? The alert came for one town yesterday and for the neighboring town today. Both small towns. My sister is a kindergarten teacher in one of these towns and I'm worried sick. Can she pass...

6 Week Old Only Wants to Be with Me

I have a 6 week old daughter that only wants to be held by me. She's generally fine with me but when my mom or husband are in charge of her, she just screams and screams.

She doesn't like her swing or bouncy seat so unless she's sleeping, she's in my...

Sleeping - Ferber Method

I need help....my husband and I do not see eye to eye on this AT all! My son just turned 1 and does not go to sleep on his own very well. I find that rocking him to sleep works better and faster. My husband is on this CIO kick and we tried it tonight which I think is so cruel but he cried for almost 2 hours straight. We tried to soothe him at the intervals that the method says but that did not work. I am very frustrated with this whole situation. My MIL watches him during the day and she rocks him to sleep for his naps so, I don't see...
