Newborn & Baby - July 2006

My baby is 6 months old + I am a first time mum, married. Complex emotions with the in-laws. When they hold her or monopolise her too much, I find myself getting knots to the tummy, major apetite loss occurs, I feel obelete almost and so now I find it increasingly difficult spending time with them. I want her to want me and her daddy only and find it so hard to share her with them.

In trying to rationalise my emotions, I realise there could be some emotional baggage from my past. Last in a large family, I often felt overlooked as a child + have spent a lot of my life overachieving to get noticed. Perhaps I felt a bit unloved + so am seeking to mend old wounds with daughter.

Also, moving home several times has seen friends slip away + I see my daughter as 1 true pure love to cherish in the absence of other contacts.

In the gentlest of ways, I asked my in laws to space their regular visits to us + now risk alienating my husband who is very close to them.

Advice sought pls!

What I was wondering is about breast feeding the next day when you have a hang over. The liquor is out of my system, or is it? Why do I feel so crappy if my body absorbed the liquor, and is there anything going in to my milk?

When did the breast become a sex organ?

Why don't people just look away?

Do people understand the health benefits of breastfeeding?

MY FRIEND JUST HAD A BABY ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SHE'S A SMOKER. WHILE SHE WAS PREGGERS SHE REALLY DIDNT STOP SMOKING. THANKFULLY THE BABY CAME OUT OK. SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT BREASTFEEDING, BUT I TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO STOP SMOKING AND SHE WAS LIKE WHY?. I TOLD HER ITS LIKE SHE'S GIVING HER BABY THE NICOTINE AND I THINK IT ROTTS THE BABY'S TEETH AS THEY GET OLDER. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TRUE EFFECTS ON A CHILD IF A MOTHER BREASTFEEDS WHILE STILL SMOKING BESIDES THE BABY HAS NICOTINE IN ITS SYSTEM?

When I woke up this morning I felt soo sick and spent the better part of my day in the bathroom. I have a almost 10 month old but lucky for me, my husband has the ability to call into work to take the day off to help me with our baby well I'm stuck on the toliet.

I'm sure many of you can relate, I was just wondering how everyone else deals as I'm sure not everybody can have their husband take the day off of work to take care of you and the baby?

I am throwing my sister a baby shower in September. Because this is her 2nd child, she just wants everyone to bring things like bottles, diapers, wipes, etc. I don't won't to be rude though. I need to cute wording for the invitation. We are calling it a "sprinkle" shower if that helps.

I don't know what I should do or try. I've spoken to my Dr. and they told me that it is normal that babies have a stool movement up to 4 days apart. Doesn't seem right since when he does go it is too much for a baby, amount and size.

On Saturday my son developed a bad case of hives (we had my dad babysit him while we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean). We came back and he was COVERED in hives--severe enough that at the time we didn't know what the rash was--it was just one big red blotch. We did take him to the ER and was diagnosed with hives and we were told to give him benadryl. The only thing I can figure is that my dad was working in the yard with fertilizer. Could soil/fertilizer cause a baby to get hives? The area of the hives (around his legs, up the tummy and partial under armpit) is the contact area where my dad carries him (football hold). That's the ONLY thing that changed in the last two months (no dyes, foods, cleansers, etc). Can contact through sweat cause a baby to develop hives like that?

She is about 18 months old and can recite the whole alphabet... baout what is the normal age for this?

Also, she likes the Garfield comic strips and has started making her own comic strips... they are actually pretty amusing. I am impressed at her talent... she pays great attention to the detail. Im not trying to brag but she has an amazing ability to draw. Is this normal?

I've seen a lot lately about co-sleeping and why it's better than putting a baby in a crib. Why is this safe? What is to prevent the parents from rolling over onto the baby? To me, this seems especially dangerous when the baby is newborn (or still very young/small) and his movements wouldn't be strong enough to alert the parents if they were lying on top of him.

There was a tragic story on the news several months ago in Michigan where a set of parents had their baby with them in the bed (I think she was only a few weeks old...maybe a month) and one of them rolled over on her and suffocated her. Of course this was accidental, but the parents are still being tried for involuntary manslaughter.
