Newborn & Baby - September 2006

We just found out we were pregnant and want to think of original baby names. We do not know the sex yet, so either boy or girl names will be ok. Also, unisex names are nice too.

My daughter is going to be 4 weeks old on Friday. She is on Smilac Isomill formula. She poops about once a day and it is like clay! It is not real hard yet. I know that soy formula can get them constipated. She seems to be uneasy she is always pushing and she does not poop more than once a day and she will push all day long!!! Is there anything I can do to make her have an easier time? I am worried that it is getting very hard and then it wont come out at all for her. Please help.

I posted a question a few minutes ago for all those who are pro-choice. I included a picture of an aborted baby/fetus. Someone said (and you know who you are) "You have no idea what you're looking at. That could've been an abortion that happened because the mother's life was in danger." Okay, well I DO know what I'm looking at. I'm looking at a child who's head was sliced off. Maybe the mom's life was in danger--but that child looks big enough to survive outside the womb...maybe they should've tried to help it survive on it's own before they ripped it's head off. Why do people still support this?!!

i'm just wondering how many of you had what the chinese gender prediction chart said you would.
i haven't met anyone it didn't work for (unless they were a little unsure of the month of conception because it was on the curb).
if you've had a child and never looked at the chart just google it-and make sure you use your lunar age (add 9 months)-and tell me if it was right!!!

My baby is 3 months 1.5 weeks old. He's holding his head up on his own, and can sit in a bumbo alone. Is he old enough to start trying solid foods?

Ok here is her schedule:
Daytime she has a 4.5 oz. bottle is awake for one hour then sleeps for 3 hours and wakes for next bottle...repeat all day

Nightime (8:30 pm til about 7am) she has a 4.5 oz. bottle practically in her sleep every 4 hours or so and sleeps immediately after

Is this normal to sleep so much at 5 weeks old? Not that I'm complaining...it's a welcome change from her colic before switching to Alimentum and using a Miracle Blanket...but is this too much? When she is awake (the one hour after bottles in the daytime) she is a smiley happy little girl. Is she getting enough to eat that way? Her pediatritian is on vacation and I don't think it's serious enough to call the hospital or anything, I just wonder if anyone else's baby sleeps this much.

Thanks in advance!

You would think we're trying to kill our 9-month-old daughter when we wipe her runny nose with a kleenex, or washcloth--Her face turns beet-red, she screams & cries, which all just make her nose that much more congested.

Any suggestions? I don't know any babies who like to have their noses wiped, but there must be somebody out there who has a trick that works....

My mother in law just told me that she got her daughter's ears done at the doctor's office and wants me to do it there,too. That sounds more safe. But I've never heard of that..Has anybody else?

Why do people assume that just because I look young that I'm a single mom with no future who is depending on the government?

I'm about to turn 20, I've been married since I was 17(because we wanted to get married, not because I was pregnant), and I have a 6 month old son who has everything he needs and then some.

I don't have to work, but I choose to so that I have something to do and I have great friends at my job, I pay for my own childcare, but I usually don't have to because I trade off childcare with a friend or my husband keeps him.

So, what gives people the right to assume, and talk down to me, just because they think I'm a 16 year old high school drop out?

My nearly 9 month old has been waking at night for the past 2 months (usually just the once) and after speaking to a nurse I am convinced now that it's attention seeking - there are no physical issues and after I go into him 3 or 4 times in an hour he settles. So I started the controlled crying thing and for the first 2 nights he went back to sleep on his own after 20mins but last night (night 3) it took 30mins. I had read that this technique should fix it after 3 nights so now I'm concerned it's not going to work. Not very patient of me I know but I desperately need my sleep and am feeling so worn out. Would love to hear others experiences.

Last thursday, the diarreah and fever started (101.4), then on saturday she started vomitting. We had 2 ER trips for Zofran/re-hydration with a diagnosis of gastric flu. She stopped vomitting on tuesday and yesterday seemed fine.

This morning when she woke up she has a 102 fever, which has gone down to around 100 after sleep and tylenol, she has a snotty nose, and by the sounds of it a bad chest and throat.

We also just discovered an hour ago that tell - tale 'grey line' under her gum, a tooth is on its way through.

So basically - Shes had 2 illnesses back to back and is miserable... I wish I could make it better ut i don't know how. She can't be comforted. She's asleep now - but spent all morning screaming.

My husband and I are exhausted and worried.

Any advice on how to help her?

Where do celebrities come up with these names? I was watching Vh1 last night and it was a show on celebrity babies. Grier Hammond? And that's a girl! There's more that shocked me but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Where do celebrities come up with these names? Some are actually cool to me so I'd like to know where they get these things. Celebrity's Guid to Baby Naming? BabyNamesForTheRichAndFamous.com? Where do they get 'em? :-)

What's up with these half and half people? You know those people who say abortion is murder when the women uses it as birth control but say it's not murder if the mother couldn't afford the child or if the child had a disability or if the woman was raped. What's up with that? I mean #1, if the child would be born to a mother who couldn't afford them--who says the only solution to that is abortion? Ever heard of adoption! What about if the child had a disability? Well, my grandmother has arthritus--maybe we should just kill her and put her out of her misery! Oh wait, the child would be born with a mental problem? Well, I've seen autistic people who are the happiest people you've ever met in your life but I guess we should just kill babies who are gonna be like them. And the woman was raped? What's the difference between that and a girl who got knocked up by her boyfriend and got dumped by him when he found out she was pregnant?

Ever heard the phrase "Don't compromise what's right?"

Can a baby develop a intolerance to formula even after being on it for a long time. My daughter is on a special order formula called Neocate Infant. She is 11 months old. She has been on this formula for probably 10 months. In the last month she has started gagging and has a lot of air/gas in her tummy. She has a g-tube and has had a fundoplication. Is it possible she has developed an intolerance to her formula even though she was fine with it before?
