Parenting Your Child
Parenting Support Groups

This section is designed to help a birth mother and/or birth father who is raising their child and who wants to improve and be an even better parent.

This section can will help you to understand the first several years in the growth and development of your child.  It includes child development information from ages 0-21 years as well as a calendar that shows your baby's development from conception to 3 years.

Infant and child health has baby care and health related information from a variety of sources including the Mayo Clinic, The American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institutes of Health, and the the National Library of Medicine. It has extensive information on illnesses and diseases, lists of hospitals and physicians, a medical encyclopedia and a medical dictionary.

Most women in the world breast feed although in the U.S. and other developed countries formula feeding is very common.  Research has proven that if you breast feed your child, the breast feeding can help protect a baby against many illnesses.  This site will help a birth mother who is considering breastfeeding her child.  For additional information about breast feeding, please visit the link "after delivery" on the website Pregnancy And Children.

Choosing how and what to feed your baby is a personal decision that deserves careful consideration. We have provided information to help you with infant nutrition concerns and to guide you in the process of properly feeding your baby.

The biological father is the man whose sperm impregnated the biological mother (the woman who gave birth to the child).  The biological father has rights and responsibilities based on the fact that he biologically fathered the child. A father who is raising his child encounters many new, and often complicated, issues.

Support groups and resources are available to help you with parenting and raising your child.

Mother and child safety deals with domestic violence, child abuse, shelters, and provides some general information resources.
