Sh4nnon - I hope you are still with us and my hat off to you - for a newbie to put that much into introduction post to open that can of worms - wow you're good! I hope you found something useful in there somewhere & your 5yo didn't burn the house down while you were at the computer looking for that info.
To the rest of this forum (myself included) we machine gunned a new mom with so much info - I just can't find any more posts from her (a little worried we scared her off). While what I'm thinking of as "the alphabet soup thread within a thread" was very educational for me ; I think it was a little bit much for a new parent to process.
I'm not scolding just pointing out to the warrior mom's that the new mom's are sometimes a little fragile when they first get here.
