Most people don't even know this could happen in children....It is rare but still happens...talk about the symptoms and what to look for as a parent. How chronic ear infections could lead to this and more ear trouble. Are there ways to prevent it? My son who is 4 was recently hospitalized with mastoiditis for 4 days we thought it was mrsa since his ears have been colonized for 2 years now but all the cultures grew psuedomonas....I would love to learn more about recurrence of this and any long term effects for my child...

Hi Doctor's:
My name is Michele F*. I am a 28-yr-old wife, mother and epileptic. A few years ago after I had my first child I continued on with my life's dream of being an inventor. Since then I have developed 2 new revolutionary, not already on the market Child Care Products. I have a patent on one of the products and still working towards patenting the second, however I am having trouble getting my products out there as most companies have put a hold on public acceptance of new inventions. I even almost made it onto the "Shark Tank." However so I have hit a brick wall and really do believe Dr. Sears and all of America will love these never before seen products.

My first product is called The "Diap-Um" this is the product I applied to "Shark Tank" with and the product I have a patent on. The "Diap-um" is a disposable diaper that has a small package of baby wipe located inside the front top layer of the diaper. This revolutionary design allows parents a way to make the seemingly endless task of diaper changing easier and more convenient, which all parents look for in an on the go world.
Located on the front top-layer of the "Diap-um" are tiny perforations. When the velcro strap which holds the diaper on the child are removed for changing the perforations break and reveal a small package of moist wipes. There is no product like this on the market today, I feel parents will jump at the chance to make diaper changing easier. I have attached a graphic design of the product. I also have working proto-types and years of R & D.

My second product is called "Baby, Go Back To Sleep" This product is the one I am currently saving up to patent. Since I do not own the rights to this product yet I can only tell you the very basic's. Should you be interested maybe a NDA can be made between me and your show. Like the Doctors say all the time getting a child to sleep is hard. I have created a system that works similar to that of a Mobile in the child's crib. The systems uses key sounds, phrases and pictures which calm and relax the child back to sleep.

I have inspired my whole life to do something like this. However circumstances and the economy are making it hard for me to get these products out there. My first invention was on paper in grade 5 for a project. I created a bedroom cleaning robot. Since then I have notebooks full of ideas and inventions many of them sell-able, however it was not until I became a mother and realized how in need the child care product line was for new revolutionary-time saving products. I have since made many of them these two being my best and closest to my heart. I look forward to hearing back from you, and hoping I will have a chance to meet and share my products with the doctors and the world that follows them.

Thank you for your time,

Michele L F*

THE DOCTORS could have a Baby Photo Contest w/a chance for 9 THE DOCTORS fans' babies to have their picture on a month. Except the months Avery and her cousins' born would be reserved for their photo w/photo of all three of triplets' babies on front and back of Calendar.

Some places actually put a photo on each day of photo calendars too which means y'all could choose photos of 374 viewers for calendar. Then could be sold on THE DOCTORS website and DR. PHIL website since likely lots of folks would like a Calendar. You could make a few thousand then if you get lots of requests for calendar make more. Also, include on Calendars online etc. info contact info & ticket info for THE DOCTORS.

Year after year at my child's well-child visit, I bring up the problem he is having with bedwetting. And every year, the pediatrician says the same thing: "Wait it out. He'll get over it." He is now 10 years old, and still wetting the bed nearly every night. Believe me, if he could change this one thing about himself, he would. He lives in fear of being discovered, and misses out on sleepovers and camp-outs that his peers take for granted. It is heartbreaking as a parent. Why do some children have such a problem with this? Is it a medical problem? Or a sleep disorder? What is the best solution? We have tried alarms, medicines, depriving liquids -- nothing has worked. There are enuresis treatment centers on the web that claim that they can solve this problem, but are they worth the time & money one must invest? Or is there a way to use their methods at home, on your own? If we do not solve this now, how long can we expect it to gone? Does anyone reach adulthood before the problem resolves itself?

Please do a segment educating the public on how to properly hold newborns and babies with medical issues in a baby sling or other soft carrier! This would be in response to the new CPSC recommendations discourage the use of baby slings and soft carriers for infants less than 4 months old, and that they should contact their physicians before considering using a sling for a baby with any medical issues. I am sure Dr. Sears has plenty of knowledge about why babywearing is GOOD for newborns and babies with medical issues, especially since his father is so supportive of babywearing.
My daughter was born with a birth defect (gastroschisis) resulting in TPN liver disease and functional Short Bowel Syndrome, and spent 4 months in the NICU, and I saw proof on the monitors that she was hooked up to that carrying and holding her in a sling was BENEFICIAL to her. I worry that with the new CPSC recommendations, the use of slings will be banned in hospitals and NICU's, and other parents and babies won't get to experience the same benefits.
With the new CPSC rec's, parents are going to be afraid to wear their babies, especially newborns and babies with health issues, which is especially devastating, considering the fact that those babies have the potential to receive the most benefits from being worn.
PLEASE consider making something positive come out of the tragedy of the babies who died from improper sling use (or just plain stupid sling design) by educating the public so that they will use their carriers SAFELY and prevent any more deaths!

I recently had a baby that was born with cataracts. I never knew this was possibly until I found out my baby had them. In doing my research I found out that this is more common than what we think.
