ie. do you let baby cry himself to sleep, put him for a nap or bed while still awake? Interested in methods used by other parents?

When should I start? Right way? After the umbilical cord falls off? Or by a certain week of age?

My daughter has been a fusy eater from day one, she consumed about 25oz of formula till i introduced solids, but was very very fussy it took about 45ins er bottle and i would get frustrated and yell at her. Now she's on solids as well but sometimes just doesn' twant the bottle so I give her cereal in a bowl so she gets some formula in her system, the pedeatrician is not concerned just says she's fussy thats it. She has about 16oz a day and two jar foods a day. But every meal is frustrating and I get very upset with her and sometimes yell at her and then regret doing that. Just feel like a horrible mom at times and find it overly consuming
She is a lovely happy baby otherwise and I love her to death
Any ideas?

i was making out my registery and saw this incline pillow type mat that you use for your baby to lie on while sleeping.
i was just wondering if anyone used this and how well you think it worked for you!
i'm curious about the whole SIDS situation since there aren't supposed to be any pillows, etc in bed with baby.

thanks!!

i am a first time mom of a 10 month old and i love him so much and everyone says i'm a great mom,very caring and patient with him and sensitive to his needs, but sometimes i don't even feel like i'm a mother. what i mean is, like, if he's asleep and i go into the bedroom for something, i'm surprised that he is there,like i have never seen him before in my life. and although most of the time i feel okay, at least once a week i feel so depressed that i cry and when my husband asks me what is the matter, i can't tell him because i don't even know what is the matter with me, and sometimes i'll get mad at my husband for no reason at all. it's like i can't control it, it just crashes over me like a wave.has anyone esle had this happen to them, and if so, could you tell me how to help it? when my husband see's that i am not feeling well, he'll take the baby to give me a break,but when he does that i feel worse. please, any advise? i hate feeling like this!

my ten month old has never really fallen asleep on his own he always wants someone to hold him until he falls asleep. i know its because he's so used to it, but i think he needs to learn to fall asleep by himselp without screaming until somebody picks him up.i've tried letting him cry for a few minutes, but he gets himself so worked up that he throws up after only being in there 2 or 3 minutes of being in there by himself. i have also tried going to the crib and reassuring him that he is okay without picking him up, but that doesn't work either. please help

my 10 month old still won't hold his bottle or feed himself with a spoon. i know its a little early for the spoon but yesterday i was at the laundry mat and a 7 month olds mom told me that she not only holds her own bottle, but also feeds herself, and i was wondering if anybody has some advice they can give me on how to get him to at least hold his bottle. any suggestions?

He doesn't do it all the time, but he seems to think it's funny when I stop him. Only serious answers please.

Hi Guys! I have an (almost) 11 month old who has not cut her teeth yet. She rubs her gums and slobers and pulls at her ears. The other day, she had some skin to turn white on her gums, where her top 2 and bottom 2 teeth would be, It sloughed off, but no teeth... There is no ear infection and no fever. Her pediatrician says not to worry until she is 15 months with no teeth. She is walking and talking and very smart for her age. All of her development is normal, other than her teeth. Anyone have any suggestions? She is a little cranky, but not bad. I just feel sorry for her. She acts like she is teething and the teething tablets do calm her.

see I know doc's are right (most of the time) but it would be nice to know if other moms gave fish to their babies at 6 1/2 months, pureed obviously.
