Newborn & Baby - September 2006

Just curious!

Our 5 month old baby sometimes wakes up at night crying uncontrollably.

We know for sure it is not a wet/dirty diaper, no scratchy stuff prickling her, temperature is exactly how she likes it, etc...

Once she is picked up, she will whimper a bit, then fall right back to sleep like nothing every happened. She will go right back in her crib and sleep. The whole process is under 5 minutes...

She hasn't done this lately, but for the first three months it was 2-3 nights out of the week, and she did it again last night for the first time in probably a month.

I'm sure she is too young for nightmares, but night terrors are different. My husband suffered from them when he was a toddler, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a genetic link type thing? I have always slept the sleep of the just and innocent, lol... an earthquake couldn't shake me when I was a babe according to my mom...

she's only 8 days old!! I'm pumping breastmilk (we failed to get a proper latch) and I'm having a heck of a time keeping up with her...so we're topping off some of the feedings with formula (about a 1/4 oz when needed). Is it normal for her to eat this much?? BTW-she was 9 lbs, 7 oz when born...if that has anything to do with it.

Also...she has explosive diarrea (not sure how to spell that). Is that normal? What can I do for her?

I called her doctor and I'm just waiting for him to call me back. I would just like some info from experienced moms as well.

Thanks!!

My son is 9 months old. I left on a week long vacation and he stayed with my mom. She said he slept in his crib the whole time (he is not a cuddler so I totally believe her) and we came back and the first night he wouldnt sleep, he was very clingy so I let him sleep with me, which he suprisingly did..ANYWAY he wont sleep now no matter how tired he is in his crib. As soon as I lay him down he goes to stand (which he JUST learned this week). I let him cry it out or wear himself out for about 15 mins at a time but nothing works. FINALLY i put him in his jumper and within 5 mins, his head is on the tray and he falls fast asleep with an occasional jump. I tried sitting in the bedroom with him, thinking he may be scared of me leaving, but that doesnt work either. ANY suggestions about getting him back in the routine? Is he growing out of his first nap and maybe just needs one in the afternoon? ANY suggestions would help and please no mean answers!

My daughter just found out she's pregnant with her 2nd child. Her daughter's name is Tierney and she wants to find another T name for a boy and/or girl. I picked out her daughter's name and since she likes unusual names I thought I'd pass on some of your suggestions. I told her I like Terissa for a girl, but only unusual boy names I came up with are Trey, Taylor, Tyler (already have a girl Tyler in the family), and Tanner. We already have a Tristan and a Trevor in the family so those are out too. So feel free... TIA

i had a very hard time at first, she got the "good stuff" i guess, but i really wanted to continue, breasts formed little "scabs" milk didn't come out when engorged?, she acted like she was starving, also the nurses gave me little 2 oz bottles to supplement with at like 2 days old, i think big mistake, shes been solely bottle feeding for 5-6 weeks but i can still squeeze my nipples and get a tiny drop or two of clear stuff then some white, i tried pumps wks ago, only got like a teaspoon to come out, gave up, can i get it to come back? remember i'm pretty much flat chested on right side and a bit more on left, it also had more milk, when filled up and hard/sore i still didn't fill an A cup ??

If you work 8 hours a day or more and are nursing and pumping... How often and how much are you having to pump at work if you are there for 8 hours or more?

Thanks.

Recently i took my 7 month old daughter in for a check up and found out her she has low iron, because of this they gave me some iron drops supplement, however reading the warnings i found out that these can be quiet dangerous even fatal if administered impropperly. Not to mention it seems like everyone is so fixed on these quick medicated fixes since it is iron she needs i would think we could find it in somthing more natural that we cold give her unfortunatly most baby foodlacks iron so if any one has any suggestions i would appriciate it. I am able to make my own baby food i just am not sure what foods have alot of iron in them.

Incidently, he didn't seem to mind and ate like a champ. Prior to helping him he would smack away the food and throw it around. Totally innocent and felt ingenious.

My 4 weeks old baby will not stay still most of the time. She is only relaxed (playing in crib or in anyone's arms) for about 5-10 min, then she starts moving her head, hands and feet. Then, she starts crying. This happens even she after is full and diaper changed.

My nephew is 19 months old and he only have 8 teeth. 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom. Is this normal? He drinks lots of milk. He doesn't want to eat much food but he loves his milk. I'm just wondering.
