Newborn & Baby - June 2006

i am a single parent of a teenager and a six month old, both girls. my baby hates it when i put her to bed at night and wakes up throughout the night. i try lullabies, waiting it out through her screaming, bedtime routines, ect. is it because im nursing her? it seems she wants to be cuddled, but every two hours?? she doesn't cry but she screams! i'm afraid the neighbors are going to think that im beating up my kid or something. i read the books, look on line, talk to the pediatrician and even other parents. im about ready to pull my hair out. im not getting any sleep because i have chronic fatigue sydrome due to my fibromyalgia and her waking up all the time, i never get any sleep. i'm single so i have no one to help me out during the wee hours of the morning. my older daughter spoiled me she couldnt wait to go to bed when she was a baby. so this is all new to me. i live in the country so i dont have much help outside the home. im just burnt out. i love her like crazy, but i need help!

The baby was very young and already walking so I'm wondering if this was some sort of method to help the baby walk? I never saw anyone do this and I truly hope she wasn't hitting her baby out of punishment .

They say not to give you child BP cause he/she may be allergic. Just wondering when would be a good time to start giving it to her. Serious answers please.

It sometimes looks like its going away... then it will look bad again... Its red & dry looking. I have been using the same formula since born, & same baby detergent for her clothes... It doesnt seem to bother her BUT it bothers me!!!! Shes had it for about two weeks now... Ive rang & spoken to pharmasists & they said not to worry its common & it will go by itself, But I'd like some other opinions.... thanks

My baby is 6 weeks old and is way more comfortable on her stomach. She doesn't sleep as long on her back and is always getting startled. As long as I check on her, is her tummy safe for sleep?

I am saying that 99.5% of babies do die of sids every year and 80% of the mothers do drink drugs or smoke. is you have 50 people with babies in one room that is dinking ect. I bet at lease 30 babies in that room would die of sids as for 50 people in the other room not doing anything. very healthy only 5 may die.

My daughter is 16 months old and isnt walking yet....she doesnt even stand on her own. She does crawl and can pull herself up as well as walk if you hold both her hands. Should I take her to the doctor? My other kids all walked at 12 months. My neighbors are all telling me somethings wrong :(

I still breastfeed my 1year old girl.She suddenly seems to have lost interest in nursing. Its not that my milk quantity has gone down,.She turns her face as soon as i take her to the breasts for feeding.But she is eating other solid foods like cereals, cookies etc. Just she doesnt want to breastmilk.I tried to breastfeed when she is asleep & she started taking. i dont know why she is doing like this.
Is this something to worry.

I see a LOT of holier-than-thou parents in real life, and elsewhere, preach about all this QT one is supposed to have with one whose attention span rivals a forest creature. I'm asking, if the child is in no obvious distress and is happy, or resting, should the parent fix a sandwich for his or herself if they are hungry? Is it cool to do a few loads of laundry, or maybe even take out some garbage or check your e-mail if baby is on her mat playing with blocks? Or, is this child abuse and neglect? Should the parent just fix their presence before the child with insta-bond and leave only to put baby in their crib for bedtime/naps? If so, where do they sell IV's for parents and are there new robots issued out to parents at the hospital that cook, take out trash, do the wash, and etc? Just wondering...I never got my issue or my IV (still looking), and I feel like a bad parent because she gets stuck (gasp) watching TV sometimes while I throw a grilled cheeze together for myself.

If you were in public and were breastfeeding is that wrong? Do people have a problem with it when they see a woman do that?
