Newborn & Baby - October 2006

My 5 month old son now refuses to take formula, although he has taken it occasionaly in the past. He was on formula for three days due to breast milk jaundice at about 1 month. He also took it at about 3 months which unfortunately coincided with a stomach virus that led to vomiting for about 12 hours. Is it possible that he now associates the taste of formula with getting sick? I have tried a few different powdered brands and mixed it with breastmilk but he refuses anything with formula. He won't even eat his rice cereal if it's made with formula. He will take breastmilk in a bottle, but now he's starting to refuse that, as well. Does one formula or preparation taste better than the others?

she went into the hospitol with bruised and swollen feet. the doctors at first (of course) thought she was abused. but tested for allergies, diabetes and other things. on day 2 they rulled out abuse because while in their care her arms and legs began to swell and bruise and now on day 3 her neck and face. they ruled out allergies and diabetes.
they thought it could be HSP...but have ruled that out as well. she seems to be in so much pain and they keep taking blood (which hurts her) and taking different test after different test. they can not find anything wrong. except that she is bruising and swelling in front of their eyes.
please if you have heard or seen anything like this before explain.
her circulation seems fine.....it's a mystery right now.
leaving the family feeling very helpless.
she has a twin brother who is healthy. he can not go to the hospitol to be with her due to it being rsv season. both babies obviously miss the other.
please help.

My baby got her first single HepB shot at 2 weeks and then she received the Pediarix(includes HepB) immunizations at 2 and 4 months. She is now due for her 6 months check up and shots. Should I let them use Pediarix again? That would make 4!

I've read that the third HepB dose is not recommend before 6 months.

Thank you so much for your help.

my husband just left for Iraq a few days ago and our 3 month has been so cranky since he left, won't sleep for more than a few hours at a time, and just really upset. I wonder if he knows that my husband is gone and misses him. My mom (who lives nearby) says it's silly because he's too young to remember people and if he can't see you he doesn't think about you; that he's just upset because I've been upset and I need to give him to her for a few days until i get settled down. To me I would think that'd just make things worse since he'd be seperated from both parents. Any thoughts? thank you!

Help me please!!! I live in Sacramento, California and the father of my baby girl is not wanting JOINT LEGAL CUSTODY OF HER AND UNSUPERVISED VISITATION RIGHTS. Mind you, he has never ever seen her, touched her, held her and she is 11 months old. He wanted me to have an abortion. He stated already in court he was giving up his rights and visitation and wanted nothing to do with us. Now he is wanting joint legal custody and unsupervised visitation. However, the crucial thing - he states he has no financial means to support a child and had no say in my pregnany he barely made 5,000 last year and doesn't think either of us is fit to be a parent. He wants to give her up for adoption or give her to my parents and for us to go through psychological evaluation, then he states again, he is not financially capable of caring for a child. Remember, he did state to the court he wanted to give up everything. See, I don't mind him have time with his daughter but he ain't getting custody cont
