Newborn & Baby - October 2006

My four month old daughter is on Enfamil Gentlease, but our WIC over here will not give us that formula. So we'll have to buy it ourselves. Has anyone tried the parents choice gentle formula from wal mart. I was wondering if she would tolerate it well. Because it is more reasonably priced.

There is quite a stir regarding La Bonita's recent post "Family In Need Of Help" where she claims her friend is a grandma who's friend lost a baby or something to that effect. She goes on to pathetically beg for money from the users of Yahoo! It's a con and everyone can see that. Did she think "Gee, nothing more sad then a dead baby, maybe that'll get me some dough" How does Yahoo handle these types of con artists? I think they should be hunted down and pissed on for being so lowly and pathetic. There is enough hardship in this world without somebody making up stuff for monetary gain. Especially using the facade of a dead baby to get that money. That is LOW!!!

Im fixing up a crib my great grandpa made for my dad. Its in really good shape its all sanded stained and varnished. The problem is theres one spindle missing in the middle of one of the sides. I was thinking maybe put a metal rod w/ padding around it and weave fabric through the spindles so its covered up and soft. maybe get the bumper type things ive been seeing. As a new mother i really duno if its a good idea or not. if it sounds dangerous for my baby does anyone have any other ideas?

Does pumping burn the same amount of calories as putting my baby to my breast?? Does it help shrink the uterus as well??

EVERYONE should be aware that the post entitled "Family In Need Of Help" is a lowlife attempt at screwing me and you out of money. This puke actually pretends to be a grandma whose friends baby died of SIDS and claims she needs some money to bury the baby. Looking at La Bonita's profile reveals that this grieve-stricken grandma is actually a cunning 25 year old who is trying to con nice people out of money. REPORT HER. DO NOT SEND HER A SINGLE PENNY!! I am shocked at what lows people will sink to to make a quick cash grab. It sickens me.

My son will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. We have his circumcision scheduled for 11:00 in the morning. I have tried to get it done earlier, but his doc insists that this is ok. Does it hurt him more now than it would have if it were done sooner?

Jessica
Jordan

Her nickname will probably be Lexi or Lexa.
The last name is Bahorik(baa-hor-ik)
If you have any suggestions please tell me.

I have this friend that just had her second child, she refuses to let the child sleep for more than a few minutes at a time because she is afraid he will stop breathing. She wonders why he is so fussy, he's not getting and sleep!!! I have a 17 month old son, I wasn't that overprotective of him even tho SIDS scares me, but good grief. Should I tell her she is acting crazy or let it go? This kid is gonna grow up to be a hypochondriac!

Is 5 1/2 months too young for water, and if not, how much is okay to give? She loves ice water. My sister in law said she used dilute fruit juice, but her kids were older. We're still almost entirely breastfeeding, the idea is to keep her busy at the dinner table - and she seems to loves the accomplishment of drinking. I won't pump for this, and I'm reluctant to bother with formula unless it's what I should use.

Currently my 1 month old is eating 4oz of formula per feeding (every 2-3 hours). I've had a few people ask me if I've started him on cereal yet....and that made me wonder how young some people start their infant on cereal.

Most said I would not be able to wear my regular pants through my entire pregnancy. SO, my next question is? Where can I find LONG size maternity pants? Regular pants do not fit me, they look like high-waters. Thanks for all your help!

I don't want to spend a butt load of money on maternity pants. I wear a 36" inseam so pants for me would be really expansive, I have very long legs! If I buy one size larger in my regular jeans, would I fit into them the whole pregnancy? I've never been pregnant before. Has anybody managed to do this?

I'm 3 weeks away from returning to work after a year of maternity leave. I know practically every mother must go through this, but as the higher income in my family, and the one with all the benefits as each day passes I find myself getting more and more depressed and angry that I need to return to work and can't stay home with my baby.

It's not rational and I know it... I knew our situation all along, but it's like I'm suddenly blaming my husband for the fact that I have to go back (because he doesn't have a better job than I do.)

I've found a great in-home daycare run by a friend of mine. I know my baby will be in good hands, but no hands are as good as mine. It kills me to think that I have to pay someone gobs of money to do something that I desperately wish I could be doing myself.

I read somewhere that you actually have to mourn the loss of the dream of staying home with your baby and then get over it, but seriosuly how long does that take and how do you do it?

Can anyone recommend a cleaner or method of cleaning for a high chair tray? We've been fine with water and, sometimes, dish soap to clean the tray, but now she's starting to have teethin biscuits and I was thinking some sort of baby-safe Formula 409 would be better.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks!
