Newborn & Baby - September 2006

First of all thanks for all that answered on my previous "baby on a plane question"....

I know that the plane affects the baby's ears... is there any way to stop that?? I know for other people, all they have to do is chew gum or wear earplugs... but what about a baby?

A european friend of mine had both her kids potty trained by their first birthdays (they're teenagers now.) I believe that practice is now called Infant Toilet training. Sounds ambitious, but the proponents say in the end it's easier than trying when the child is in their terrible-two's. Has anyone tried this?

I am really curious as to why some people on here feel the need to bash breastfeeding and those who chose to do so. Even the most sincere questions are met with sarcasm and negativity and I have to ask...why? What purpose does it serve to be negative about breastfeeding when others are seeking encouragement or advice?

I know it is a little early now but I have a two month old and was wondering when do you start to add cereal to your babies formula. I know this will help him sleep through the night as well???

I just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Wednesday. Whether she feeds from the breast or bottle, she gets the hiccups after every single feeding. Is this normal? Is there anything we can do for her?

I come from a big family and I always thought I'd have kids, at least 2, maybe more. But 3 months ago I had a baby boy and the adjustment has just been HUGE. And he's a really easy happy baby (healthy, thank goodness). I'm turning 36, dh 38, and we think we're done with just the one, maybe we're too tired at our ages! But friends of mine say it's too soon to know if we'll want more. When were you ready for your next one?

Today is my first day back at work and I am taking it a little hard. My son is just shy of 2 months old and I have been by his side day and night since the day he was born. He is, ofcourse, in good hands (family) but I am wondering what he will be thinking that I will no longer be there ALL DAY LONG. Will be feel scard? Abandoned? Sad? I am so worried to lose that bond!!!

My wife gave birth 4 days ago but she still has no milk. our baby was premature by a month, and is in an incubator. Does this mean it will take a month to produce milk? or because the baby is not with my wife her body doesn't think it is time to produce? What is the longest one can go with out producing milk and still produce it? Are there any special foods she should be eating? I appreciate any advice my wife is really distraught by the whole situation.

I just want to be sure that it isn't toxic for young children. Also, if it is ok, I was wondering what kind of dosage should be given.

My 16wk old usually guzzles through 6oz or 7oz bottles 5 times a day. Over the last 3 days it seems a struggle to get him to take 4ozs per feed! He seems perfectly happy and content and isn't running a temperature - but when offered a bottle is screaming and arching his back away from the bottle after half a feed. We changed from slow flow to medium flow teats about 2 weeks ago - I'm not sure if this has had an effect - he seemed fine on them at first. Any advice please??

I have a 4 month old girl and I've had some trouble getting her used to sleeping through the night. She wakes up many times, and won't go back to sleep unless I give her a pacifier, and even then she'll sometimes wake up again just minutes after. I'm tired of this, and I want to try the Ferber method but I'd like some feedback from parents who have used it with positive (or negative) results. And if you don't consider this method is good, I'd like some ideas about how to get her to sleep well, on her own. And how do I tell my mother-in-law that I don't want her to rock the baby to sleep? I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I believe it's time for my daughter to learn to fall asleep by her self.
I really would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

My daughter is 10 months old and chewing as well as she can with only two bottom teeth. She is well passed the pureed stage, and is learning to finger feed herself (she could care less about a spoon right now, but it is there if she wants to try it out). I want to make sure she is getting enough protein in her diet, and was hoping for some ideas in that area because meat is too tough for her. I also would like some variety as well. Your ideas would help alot!
