Newborn & Baby - June 2006

I am really having a hard time deciding how much time to take off from teaching. I am thinking about quitting and getting back in to it when my child is a little older or until a closer job comes open. I am due in Sept. I work 45 min away and wouldn't get home until 5:30 every night. My husband could support us, but I hate not having my own money. I would need to budget better. I worry about my self worth if I don't teach. I do like my job but am afraid of having other people practically raise my child. This is really stressing me out! I am almost 26 years old. I already quit coaching b-ball. People at work like me. I would be afraid of letting people down. Is it bad that I have waited until almost July to inform them that I don't plan to return? (if that's what I decide to do) I grew up with babysitters and turned out good...although I have some bad memories of baby sitters and other kids that were there. I don't know who I would trust to watch my baby. Teachers do get summers off.

My son is 3 months old. He drinks about 25-26 oz (breast milk and formula) every day. So far, he has been gaining weight as expected (birth wieight: 7lb 6 oz, now: 15 lb 2 oz). But the real concern we have is over the last 1 week or so, he refuses to drink milk when he is awake. He will have about 1 to 1 1/2 ounces and then rest he will drink only when is fallen asleep. We know he is hungry because he really grabs on to the bottle and sucks vigourously in his sleep.

According to our pediatrician, he does some reflux but she opines that it is very light and he will outgrow it soon.

Is there anything that we need to worry about here? Does anyone had similar experience withh their kids? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I need a schedule because I feel as though my baby isnt eating enough. I would like an example daily menu for that age. She has not been drinking alot and I seem to be trying every hour with a bottle. she does eat solids but how much solids does she need and how much milk?

She is just not that social, or wanting to be awake to look around and stuff. I'm breastfeeding and she is eating and satisfed and "going" alot, and seems healthy. She wakes to eat like every 2 to 3 hours, I change her then feed her, and then she just goes back to sleep.

She has no problem eating her solids (which we do not give a lot of) twice a day at the most and just a little bit, but she is not wanting to drink her bottles/breastmilk. She is getting way under 25 oz a day and I am getting worried. Its the weekend so I cant call the dr. Anyone else have this problem

And why do you think that? What has your baby done and at what age to make you think that?

For first name "James" and first name "Abigail." The last name has two syllables.

It used to be in the evenings. Not always, but every other day or so. Now, for a couple of days, she has been crying a lot during the day. I don't know why. We just moved from Dallas to Houston. In Dallas we used to live with my mom and dad. Maybe she's unfamiliar with this environment? Or gets tired of seeing the same person over and over again? Or it might just be her belly is aching. I don't know. Anyone go through the same thing? I had a lot of help from my husband with her, but starting Monday, he'll be working 80 plus hours a week, so no help there. I get really frustrated easily and I'm a little nervous about handling her by myself.

I have a 1 month old daughter and she is a mommys girl. Dad is away so I do not have his help. But she never lets me put her down. I cant even take the time to go to the bathroom without her throwing a massive temper tantrum. She will only sleep if I hold her. Her crying stops immediately when I pick her up so I know its not colic or gas.
I am finding it very hard to find my balance with her and myself. Ive heard everything from " you can never hold her too much" to "you need to let her cry and become independant". Any suggestions on how I can condition her?
