From yellow tomato seed looking poop to baby acne, I'm finding out a lot of things I've never heard before about newborns, what did you "never hear" before you had your baby?

I use the regular Nestle Good Start and I signed up for Nestle's baby program. They sent me an awesome diaper bag with a bottle, coupons, and a can of Nestle Good Start with Omega 3 and 6. Can I use this kind of formula when my baby is used to just the regular kind? I also have a can of Enfamil A+ I would like to use that I got for free too. Is that what they mean by you can't switch formulas or does that mean from milk to soy, or something?

My 9 wk old won't take the bottle consistantly. We searched for good nipples (she seems to like a Playtex laytex nipple) and I've had other people (dad, grandma, future care-taker, etc) feed her while I was out of the room. My baby will take to the bottle sometimes, but other times she'll scream, and I'll give in and put her on my breast (in which case she settles down nicely). THis could be a problem as I plan to start back to work when my baby is 12 weeks old (3 weeks away); I'm afraid that feeding time will be frustrating for her care-taker.

I have seriously considered not going back to work or asking my employer to cut back my 3/4 time to 1/2 time. Money could be an issue if I cut back on my work, but time will tell as my husband is interviewing for a new job. I am hoping that his new job pays well so that I CAN cut back my work load so that I can spend more time with babe!

Opinions? Ideas? Thanks!

I just found out that my next door neighbor is a sex offender for molestation and rape of a child under 14 years of age. I feel REALLY uncomfortable about it especially that I have a little girl. Has anyone else gone through this, and what should I do?

I'm seriously starting to pull my hair out because I am at such a loss for what to do. She is such a happy baby, but I can not be out of her line of sight for more than 3 seconds (no exaggeration) before she starts seriously screaming. If I'm sitting on the floor with her she's fine and can play and entertain herself, but if I'm sitting on the couch or standing she wants me to hold her and screams bloody murder until I do.

I don't know what to do. She's started walking and does have a lot of independence for her age, so why is she soooo clingy to me? Separation anxiety was cute at first, but when you can't even go to the bathroom by yourself, it gets annoying, but I love my daughter and I don't want her to cry or feel scared every time I'm not in her direct presence.

How long will this last? Is there anything I can do to prevent or make it better? Does anyone else know how I feel??

I watch my sister's kids during the day and I have been for pretty much three years now. The two girls are 10 and 4, and the lone boy is 5.

The issue is with the boy. Each child only plays a maximum of 30 minutes a day, one turn for 15 minutes to a game they want to play, and the remaining 15 minutes devoted to an educational game, like JumpStart Learning, Hooked on Phonics or Reader Rabbit. We'll watch about an hours worth of television a day, one show in the morning and another show while I'm cooking dinner.

The boy LOVES video games, just not the learning type. When it's time to turn the "just for fun" video game off, he takes an extra 5 minutes, at least, or until I take it away. When he wakes up in the morning, before he goes to the restroom or eats breakfast, he asks about playing video games, and when I say, "Not yet, we'll play games at x", he'll keep asking about it until it's time to play the video games.

I've been thinking of opening a daycare for a long time now, and think I may want to specialize in infant care. In visiting our local daycares, I feel that the infant classes aren't as important and tend to get left in the dust of the 2+ aged children. Would you be interested in a daycare for your 6+ week old-24mo? I realize that it may be inconvenient to have to search for a new daycare at that time, but previous to this, they would have all the focus of the staff, optimal care and age appropriate developmental education for the first 2 years of their life. This would give them the best imaginable foundation, second only to being one on one with you, their parents. What are your thoughts or feelings on this?

Okay what I want to know is if you have to breastfeed right away after the birth of the baby or can you wait until your comfortable in your own home? I know that sometimes you have to wait for your milk to come in so in the mean time will the hospital supply you with the feeding or do they just let you know what formula you need to buy while waiting for the milk to come in? Any experianced mothers i would greatly appreciate your input for a first timer!

MY son is over 4 months, he eats a little cereal in the morning for breakfast.. And throughout the day, he eats about 5 oz.. But at nighttime bottle, after bath, he'll eat 10 oz... even if he just ate 2 hours ago... So should i feed him dinner? Some kind of veggie or something? Or just stick to 10 oz.. Which is alot and he spends the next morning spitting up everything..


he does great with cereal by the way.

I found out saturday that I was pregnant then sunday I had some pinkish red spotting when I wiped only. Went to the doctor and they said my HCG level is 1400 the doctor said that is gray zone but on here it sounds like thats not bad. They gave me a ultrasound and there is a baby in uterus but no heartbeat but he said it could be to early for that. But now today on Monday I have no bleeding at all. I was just needing to know if anyone knows if this is a good PG or bad. And or if I should be worrying or if the doctor is right or full of it.
