Newborn & Baby - September 2006

Just wondered if anyone else out there totally didnt bond with their baby after birth?

I had my daughter 4 years ago and I now love her more than life, but after I gave birth, I rejected her for almost 10 weeks. I just wasnt interested in her. I didnt want to pick her up, I told the midwife to take her back to the hospital, she seemed as important to me as a cold bowl of soup.

I just toally detatched from her.

Im just curious really as to how other people dealt with it. I know its normal and lots of women go through it, its so annoying to go through it especially people who kept saying 'once the baby is born you fall in love with it straight away'. Its just not always true, and I still now after 4 years feel terrible guilt about it.

How do you feel about it now?

I think it is beautiful and amazing. I worked as an Assistant nurse ina maternitiy unit for 2 years and found birth amazing and awe inspiring. Yes it was yicky with lots of blood etc but still made me cry each time. Sometimes the result was horrible and sad but in the main wonderful and tearworthy. What do you think?

Someone asked earlier about submitting a baby name that they had made up. I had never thought of doing that before even though I have a few names I have thought up that I think are pretty good. I found a website that says to submit a baby name but it says to enter the meaning of the name. Does that mean I get to make up a meaning for it? How does that work? Also, if you know of any websites where I could submit them that would be wonderful as well. Thanks!

My eight month old baby started waking up twice during the night and she is very hungry. I went on a trip to europe for two weeks and when we returned she was sick and then after she got better she started waking up at night screaming and we give her a bottle and she eats 6-8 ozs. I am trying to return her to her scheduled feedings of every four hours during the day and then sleep for 10-11 hours. She is only sleeping at 3 hour intervals in the night and then waking for the bottle.

If so....Is it worth it? Do you have to set up an automatic order/delivery schedule with them?

My one month old little girl will only sleep in an inclined position and therefore is spending a lot of time in a swing or bouncy seat. I was wondering if any of you have used a crib wedge and what you think of them. Are there some that are better than others?

What name did you want to name your child that your husband/wife hated? I'm sure everyone has had that happen! What name was it and what did you end up naming them?

Just to clear this all up: I DID NOT have a c-section and do that to a poor innocent baby! It got alot of people upset and mad when I posted my previous question--but all I was trying to do was to make a point. I was making the point that everyone would think it was sick and disgusting to do such a thing yet the very same people think it's okay to do that to a baby while they are still inside the womb and growing. Sorry if I upset you! I seriously did not mean to cause such an uproar. I would NEVER do that to a child. I am pro-life 100%!

I asked if it would be considered "okay" for a pregnant woman to have a c-section early on in her pregnancy because she didn't want to continue the pregnancy. The baby being so small would of course die shortly after. I asked if it would be considered "okay" to do that and then have the doctor take a knife/razor and slice the baby's arms and legs off. Everyone thought I was sick and disgusting and evil to think such a thing. My real question is this: If it's not "okay" to do that---then why is it okay to do that to an innocent child when they are still in the womb and living and growing?

I need some advice on giving my 11 mo. old iced tea. I would rather him not have it but my husband doesn't see a concern about it and this discussion comes up alot. Would it be best to give him decaf with less sugar in it. Or is not something best to give an infant at all.
