My almost 5 month old baby has been a good sleeper, till now. The slightest noise or movement wakes her no matter how long she has been asleep. Before you could be as loud as you want or move her from her swing to her crib. But now you sneeze and she wakes or you try to move her and she wakes. She got her shots 4 days ago, do you think it could be that she still is sore and fussy or is it a natural thing she is going through. Please help!

My daughter is six months now, expecting her to start teething sometime soon. I know all babies are different but I'm just trying to prepare myself for this! How do you tell if they are teething? What will their gums look like? I asked my mom and she tried to get a peek at my daughter's gums, but the little goofball kept sticking her tongue out and laughing! So I thought - Hey! I'll just ask the moms on Yahoo! :) Any advice or information you can give me will be very helpful - thank you all in advance!

okay, i'm not talking about a full-on-weaning here, but here's the thing : my six month old daughter will take about 4-5 ounces from her bottle lately, i'll burp her, and then she farts around and bites the nipple and wants to play with the bottle? she totally doesn't even want it, and before this happened she would take 7-8 ounces at once! she can hold a sippy cup herself already and enjoys drinking from it, is it okay to give babies their formula from a sippy at this age? i have a soft-spouted NUBY that she likes at mealtime with water in it.... i'm just going crazy here, the doctor tells me she needs to eat more formula than she is, but i can't force her to take her bottle if she isn't going to eat!! what to do?!
other info - she weighs 17 pounds, which is in the normal range for her age, but doctor still insists she needs 32 oz of formula now?

My 8 week old daughter is teething and won't stop crying and always wants the wet washcloth in her mouth. How do I get her to go to sleep? Without the tylenol and she's way too little for anything else. My son was 5-6 mnths when he started, boy I don't miss this.

My husband and I co-slept with our seven month old until he was four mths. Then we let fall asleep with us and put him into his crib which was right beside our bed. Now we moved his crib back into his room and I was wondering if I should put him in his crib while he is awake and let him fall asleep like that or continue to just "put" him to sleep and then put him in his crib?

I have gotten information from Similac, Enfamil, and Good Start about free diaper bags. It appears that they all offer a free diaper bag at the hosptial when you deliver your baby. I am curious what is in each of them, and if you have to choose one of them, or if the hospital will give you all of them. I have no idea what formula to go with and am happy to receive any and all samples, coupons, etc. that I can get my hands on.

My son just turned 1 month old on the 22nd of August. The last time I saw the Ped., he stated that he should be drinking 24 ounces a day of formula. He is not a "on demand" eater. I have been trying to keep him on a regular schedule of feedings, at least within 1 1/2 hours lead way...
My soon to be mother in law states that at night before he should go to sleep, that I should give him a 6 ounce bottle to make him sleep longer though the night, mind you, I have no problem getting up with him at night. She states that this is what she did 24 years ago with my fiance, when he was a baby. Mind you, she told me that her doctor recommened AGAINST IT... She is a very pushy woman at times, or so I feel and I do not feel that this is a good idea?
Well, the real question is, is it a good thing to do? And if not, how do I deal with telling her?

My three week old son was on Enfamil LIPIL with Iron but was eating every hour, not seeming satisfied, very fussy, and had what seemed like an awful lot of tummy aches. We spoke with the doctor about it and he changed his formula to Enfamil Gentlease. Has anyone else heard of this and/or tried it?

Also, my son's first day on this new formula was today. Now he eats approx. every 2-3 hours and eats more although when I burp him at his feedings he usually spits up, anyone else go through this? Is it normal for them to spit up?

I'm considering making a party favor for all the people who attend my daughter's first birthday party. It would be a DVD slide show of pictures of her from birth through her first year (we only have about a thousand!!), but I am looking for some fun songs to accompany the pictures.

Some songs we've already thought of are "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder and "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" from Gigi.

What do you think? I'd like to keep it fairly upbeat, not too many tear-jerker songs.

Thanks for your help!!

I read somewhere that it was ok to drink moderately while breastfeeding just as long as you drink immediately after the feeding so that when the next feeding comes around the alcohol content will be lowered and not so much will pass to baby. is this true?

I was breastfeeding my son when I was hospitilized for my high blood pressure. They told me that I couldnt breastfeed him because of the medicine that I was taking so I had to "pump and dump" as they called it. I did this for two days until my nurse for the night whom also happened to be a lactation consultant told me that it was okay to breastfeed while taking the magnesium sulfate. But by then the damage was done. My son was hooked on formula and wasnt latching onto my breast anymore. I really miss the connection and I know that breast is best but my supply has completely dwindled. Is there anyway that you can "restimulate" your breasts to make milk again?

We have been trying to get my daughter to take a bottle for 2 months. I make sure to leave the house... but nothing works. We've tried 5 different bottles as well. Each time she screams and hits the bottle away from her.

Any suggestions?
