Newborn & Baby - October 2006

My son is 7 1/2 months old, he was to the dr. the last week of sept for a double ear infection. He was given zithromax and a decongestant. Two 1/2 weeks later we were back again, and he had another. Again zithromax was given. LAst Tuesday we were bcak and one ear is still pink. We were told to finish zithromax, he was given a steriod, as well as Zyrtec in case of zllergies causing the fluid. I am very careful when bathing, do not prop bottles, his head is always inclined when my husband or I feed him, and my mother is his sitter and is even more cautious (we are pretty protective to say the least of the kids:)hehe) and it has just been a battle. the past 2 nights, he has been up every 1/2 hour or so, cranky during the day, not napping, and pulling and batting at his ears again. Any adivce? Tomorrow I am going to a new pediatrician, maybe asking for ENT referral if it is still ears, and also making a chiropractor appt, as it helped for his reflux as a newborn. Any advice until then? :)

The doctor gave me the go ahead to start her on baby food. She weighs 16 pounds and she is 4 months old. The doctor told me to give her a half a jar of baby food for her feedings. I also gave her 4 ounces of milk with that. Is that too much? Or can baby food just make her gassy since she is so young?

Here is a link to the exact product that I purchased:http://safeandsecurebaby.com/Cabinet-and-Drawer-Latches-by-Safety-1st-12-Pack-pr-80.html

Has anyone installed these darn things and can somehow illustrate in words how I can install them too??

Thanks.

Has anyone tied giving birth while laying on their side?
I have been looking to an alternate birthing position. Years ago, I had my first two children laying on my back, and now think this isn't the best position. What else has anyone tried, and how did it go?
