Newborn & Baby - September 2006

to lessen the affects of diarrhea? She is 5 months and has just started this tonight. She does not have a temperature. She does not seem sick. I give her pedialite, and took her off of her formula for the night? Is there anything else I can do for her until I can get her into see the doc in the morning? I really don't want to take her to the dirty emergency room, if I can all avoid it. Its already 12:30am here. She would probably get in faster at the doctors office than waiting all night at the hospital.Anything to help her firm up her tummy troubles? I was thinking maybe some rice cereal, but I am not sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Her poor tushy is starting to get a rash too..

My 4mo baby has torticollis & the physical therapist and orthopedist both told us to keep him in a sitting position as much as we can. So a few weeks ago we started putting him in a play seat, it looks like a walker, but it's not a walker.
For the last week & a half he has only pooped when sitting in that seat. Not when he's laying in his crib, not when we're holding him, not when he has to stay with my dad all day.... ONLY when he's sitting in that seat. If you're a mom I don't have to tell you what kind of mess this makes! But, it's not the mess I have to deal with that concerns me. I don't want him thinking that just because he's sitting in it he has to strain to try to poop. That seat is suppose to be fun, lots of lights & things to look at & play with. I don't know if he thinks he HAS to poop when he's sitting in it, or if the position he's in has something to do with it. He wasn't even 4mo yet when this started, does this mean he's going to be easy to potty train?
I hate not to put him in there to try to make him do it while he's in his crib & then him not poop because we have had a lot of trouble with constipation & if that's what it takes then that's what it takes.
Any comments or suggestions, or just words of encouragement would be appreciated.
Serious replies only please, thanks! :-)

Formula is so expensive and my baby is doing so good on this one. Does anyone know where I can get the generic version?

It may seem like a bit of a morbid or disturbing question, but I would like to know.

When a woman has a miscarraige, do they have some special procedure for disposing of the dead baby? Or do the parents clean it off and put it in a tiny coffin? Any ideas?

Once again, I'm sorry if anyone feels offended or disturbed by this, but death is a reality, and it has to be dealt with somehow.

I had a girl name picked out and then found out I'm having another boy. I'm stuck on ideas. Plz help! It was hard enough coming up with my 1 yr old son's name he is Haydon Quinn. I like unique names. Plz don't suggest anything that is common, believe me I've already thought of it. Help with some real thought out names.

My baby just turned 10 months old. He is eating 3 meals of baby food a day and he is getting formula...how many ounces of formula should he be drinking at one time? I give him between 6-7 ounces...should I up him to 8 ounces? He was born 2 months premature and he weighs 20lbs...so he is a little small for a 10 month old but he is catching up.
