Très Cool! Babies Cry in Their Native Language
I've always found it fascinating that dogs "bark" in different languages. Though we say "ruff ruff" in English, that same noise is expressed as "ouah, ouah" in French. Now here's something even cooler: German researchers have started to think that babies' wails sound different depending on what language their parents speak.
Awkward! A Stranger's Child Won't Stop Screaming
We've all been there — on a plane, at the store, trying to watch a movie, and the screeching, wailing or whining begins. I always feel for the parents of children who, in public, are causing a big ruckus. It's annoying enough, I imagine, but then having strangers either glare or silently seethe must be tough.
Say What? Katie Roiphe on Feminism and Maternity Leave
"Historically, feminists have emphasized the difficulty, the drudgery of new motherhood. They have tried to analogize childcare to the work of men; and so for a long time, women have called motherhood a 'vocation.' The act of caring for a baby is demanding, and arduous, of course, but it is wilder and more narcotic than any kind of work I have ever done."

Dear Poll: Do You Keep a List of Future Baby Names?
Even if you're single, it's not uncommon to keep a list of names for the kids you might have someday. I know plenty of women and even many men who do this, so be honest: Do you have a baby-name list stashed away somewhere?

Dear Poll: Does This Time of Year Make You Want to Have a Baby?
The holiday season is approaching and that means spending time with your family, sharing traditions, and remembering the important things in life. It may also mean you're getting asked some tough questions from bold relatives like, "So, when are you going to start a family?" Even if you haven't been overtly asked, I'm curious to know if simply being around the little ones inspires you to start a family of your own.
Grandmother Gives Birth to Her Own Grandchildren
I was really touched by this miraculous story I saw this morning on the The Today Show. Kim Coseno couldn't have her own children, so her 56-year-old mother, Jaci Dalenberg, decided to act as a surrogate mother for her — which meant she'd be giving birth to her own grandchild! She was artificially inseminated with embryos created by her daughter and son-in-law.Infertile Men May Pass an Infertility Gene Onto Their Sons
About 15 years ago, fertility specialists figured out how to extract sperm from individuals who had an unbelievably low sperm count in an effort to help them to become parents. This process is called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) - where they inject a single sperm into an egg to make an embryo outside a woman's body. The embryo is then placed in the mother's womb (known as in vitro fertilization, or IVF), and nine months later, a baby is born.
