Newborn & Baby - July 2006

Someone told me that it really works and she did this for her 4 kids. I'm not convinced though because I never heard of this. My daughter is 13 days old and the umbilical cord doesn't look like it has even started to dry out.

I have a five month old that I'm starting to put on a more structured schedule. I'm worried that I may be over doing it. But, he hasn't given me any ques that this is too much for him, but (as a first time mommy) what do I look for?

Here's my typical schedule:
7 am wake up and eat
7:30 am play time on the play mat
8 am nap time
9:30 0 10 am wake up and play, sing, dance, or read until 10:30
10:30 am eat
11:30 1 serving of fruit, veggie, or rice cereal
11:45 nap
3 pm wake up and eat
5 pm another solid serving
5:30 nap
7 pm wake up and play until 8 pm
8 pm bath time
8:30 bottle
9 pm rock and lullabies (bedtime routine)

What do you guys think?
How can I be flexible, should I be flexible? Is scheduling my baby too mommy-esqe?

It's not only on his scalp, but his forehead at the hairline and even the skin under the eyebrows. I can only tell by feeling the rough skin or when I wash his face with a damp cloth. I've been trying to get rid of it, but it doesn't seem to be going away. Any suggestions?

We had to feed the baby formula for 48 hours because of a serious colon-allergy she developed. During that time my wife pumped her milk out, up to 6 ounces at a time. Now 48 hours later her milk production has been seriously diminished, and she is receiving the baby stimulation but we are worried it might not come back to full production. You think it will come back? Has it helped you to drink oatmeal as some friends have suggested?

My 5 month old son will not stop screaming. We are going on day 3. I had him at the doctor Monday AND Tuesday, they find NOTHING wrong. He is normally such a happy smily baby I know he is not colicy but that is how he has been acting. He just screams for sometimes an hour at a time, then will relax for a little while then start. He doesn't want to nurse, eat cereal, is dry, burped, napped. I gave him tylenol incase its a headache or teething. I am running out of ideas. He is not constipated.. PLEASE I need suggestions!
(Don't worry I am not frustrated or going to hurt my baby, I am just tired of unconsolable crying!)

Ok, I have a 5 month old girl. She is very well fed and it seems she has some type of attatchment to her bottle. She can start to whine when she is hungry so I go make her bottle and if she catches a glimpse of the bottle while I am making it she goes into the biggest fit I have ever seen. And she stays in a screaming raging fit until the bottle is in her mouth. Is this normal and will she grow out of it?? I know that they have stages and right now it is the oral stage but my goodness I have never seen a baby act this way??

I just worry so much about my very active 5 month old getting her face into the bumper. I find her sooo very close so many times. I would hope that her instinct would make her move her head, but I just worry all night when I find her face pressed against the bumper.

I've heard that during at least the first two weeks after the baby is born, I will be breastfeeding every hour to hour and a half, 15 minutes each side. Now, I'm not a mathmatical genius, but if you add burping between sides, then burping afterwards, that pretty much means that I'll have a baby attached to my boob at almost every second!!!! Are people exaturating about how often I will be breastfeeding, or am I just screwed. LOL And, when will it become less frequent...so I can at least eat, pee, and/or bathe?

Proud soon-to-be mommy and COW,

My 10 month old daughter started pulling up a few weeks ago and she is also getting her top teeth as of last week.

She used to sleep from 9pm to atleast 7-8pm straight. Now, she wakes up 1-2 times a night standing up, crying for me, wanting a bottle and to be rocked back to sleep. If she happens to wake up for the first time after the sun comes up, then she won't go back to sleep even though she is tired. Can anyone please help me with what I should do to teach her to sleep on her own and all night again? I don't know if she's too old to use the cry-it-out method. Please help!

hullo,
I have a 6 months old baby. i recently bought her nestle nigeria infant cereal maize/soya. someone however discouraged me about soya products but she does not remember the reason why soya is allegedly bad in babies.
Could you kindly share with me whether it is ok?

I have a 7 year old son and now a 2 week old son. My wife can be a quite anxious and highly strung person and the stresses of the new baby have sent her to pieces. She cannot cope with the night time waking (which is frequent - every 2 hours) and invariably ends up screaming, panicking and sobbing. I worry about how this is all affecting our 7 year old. It breaks my heart to see my wife that way. I am feeling the strain myself - currently working full time, settling the baby during the night when my wife loses the plot, trying to keep my older son away from the sobbing mother. I have tried to encourage her to give up breast feeding so that she can have a break away from the baby, but as yet am unsuccesfull. She sees herself as a complete failure on every level and would see giving up the breast as an additional failure. I am offering lots of support, am frequently taking time off from work to help out. Would like to hear any one elses experiences and ways they found to cope.
