i am a first time mom of a 5 1/2 month old baby girl. she started sleeping through the night at about 2 months old but for the last month she has been waking up crying (not a screaming cry) just a wining cry and she will go back to sleep when i give her pacfier. is that normal? and she has been sleeping a lot more in the day time but this is only been happening for the last couple of days. could it be a growth sprut that is making her sleep more or could something be wrong with her?

A recent question here implied that putting stuffed toys in a baby's crib puts them at risk of SIDS. I'm not sure how this could happen- other than the stuffed toy might suffocate the baby. Could someone explain this to me? Thanks.

I've struggled with my baby for about 1 month, she's almost 5 months old, she wakes up a lot and it is driving me crazy! I figured one of the reasons why she wakes up is because she misses me, so I put in her crib this caterpillar that I used to sleep with, that way she feels there's "someone" next to her, and it also has my scent, so I thought I'd give it a try, just because I was a total zombie from lack of sleep (it was a desperate measure) She's sleeping a little better now, but I worry a lot because I've heard that you shouldnt put anything in the crib for risk of SIDS...

My 9 1/2 month old son no longer likes to drink formula. Up until a few weeks ago he was fine, but now it's a struggle to get him to drink it well. He takes a bottle mid-afternoon and before bed just fine, but breakfast and supper are turning into a waste of formula.

Is this something other babies have done? He's eating everything else just the same as normal. He's teething but he's been teething since 4 months. He has 8 teeth in and is working on more, but his appetite has never changed before with teeth coming in.

My son is two months old and is having problems feeding. I have used avent, soothie, and mam bottles and he doesnt seem to like any of them. I just don't want to waste any more money on bottles. It takes him 1-1 1/2 hours to drink a seven ounce bottle (he's a big eater). Someone please help.

Is it normal for my 5 day old baby to eat 3oz - 4oz bottles when i feed him? I am breast feeding and bottle feeding or does it have something to do with how big the baby is. He weighed 8lbs and 13oz---21in lg when he was born!

He's 6 weeks old (and was 6 weeks early). He eats about 4 oz. every 3 hours (except after his 11 pm feeding, he crashes until about 4am). Is it ok to let him sleep through a feeding at this point (if he does)?

On one hand, we think it's not much different than watching the lights on her mobile and on the other I have a concern about her "watching" TV at such an early age. Any thoughts?

I breastfeed my daughter exclusively - no bottles or supplements and my period started 3 weeks postpartum. I've had another one since then so I know it wasn't a fluke. Has anyone else had this happen? It affects my milk supply and I take calcium magnesium supplements to keep it up.

My daughter is drooling and she gnaws on my hand. Could she be teething already?

My 11 week old daughter is exclusively breastfed. I would like her to take an occasional bottle of expressed milk so I can go out but she won't do it. She's taken a couple of them before without a problem. I've tried a few different kinds of bottles that are all supposed to be similar to the breast. Has anyone else had this problem and what are some solutions?

There's a lot of buzz about bonding with your baby, and if you're not happy after your baby is born then you must be experiencing post-partum depression. Now that my son is 3.5 months old, I look back on that newborn phase and realize that (gasp) I just didn't love the newborn stage. Did anyone else feel that way? My kid is great now, he's interactive, cute, funny, and a little more predictable (or I've learned more) but I think I'd be okay to skip the first 8 weeks next time! How did other mothers feel about that time?

I've noticed that when women have multiples (as in twins, triplets, ect.) the babies are always smaller that usual. Would you rather give birth to two or three tiny babies, or one regular sized one?

I'm taking her to the Dr tomorrow and I called the after hours nurse before this rash appeared. Could it be related? The rash is on her bottom and going up her back. I also noticed a little on her foot. I'm worried, I wish I could take her to the Dr. now. I've given her Tylenol and I've applied Desitin to the rash. The nurse said the fever does not have anything to do with teething she probably has an ear infection. Any thoughts of what the rash may be or what else I could do for her. I've been giving her lots of fluids and thankfully she's been taking it and lots of TLC all day.
