Newborn & Baby - October 2006

Im 30 weeks pregnant (YEA) with my first child. My husband is totally against using pacifiers & I dont see the problem with using them. Can you give me the good & bad points on using pacifiers?

We are going to New Orleans for Christmas and our son will be 6 months of age at the time. It is a 20 hour car drive and would like to drive straight through if our son allows. Has anyone taken their child on a driving vacation before and do you have any advice? We have an SUV so it will be roomy.
P.S. He loves car rides by the way.

Me and my husband want to take our 6 month old trick-or-treating this Halloween, just for fun, to dress him up. If we knocked on your door with a baby in a stroller and a candy bag would you give us candy? Even though you knew the parents are getting the candy, not the baby?

Okay I just asked a question, but I want to clear it up. When I went for an ultrasound at 17 weeks, my ob/gyn said she thought it was a girl but wasnt sure. Today, I went for another ultrasound at 21 weeks and the tech said she was 90% sure that it was a girl. The baby was moving around and she said she could see the 3 lines ( that would make it a baby girl ) She looked at the baby for 45 minutes and never once saw anything that made her think it could be a boy. I'm asking if anyone else has had a baby girl and how accurate were your ultrasounds?

I had a baby 4 months ago. I am breastfeeding so in the first 6 weeks I experienced uterine contractions while my son ate, like all breastfeeding women do. But it has come back. I can feel my uteris contracting while he eats. Also i have pains in my lower abdomen that come and go throughout the day. Does anyone know what this is?

I am bottle feeding, and my 2 week old girl finishes her bottle everytime, when do I know to increase the amount of formula. Right now, she is eating roughly every three hours, but sometimes acts like shes still hungry after eating...or does she just have that 'sucking reflex'?

My 2 week old likes to sleep and sometimes sleeps past the recommended 3 hour feeding schedule. When she does wake up, of course she is hungry and gulps down the bottle and ends up making herself sick. What are your opinons on actually waking the baby up to feed her, or should I just let her sleep and wake up on her own?

I am breastfeeding my 4 day old baby boy. My milk has come in great. I am not sure if I should be avoiding certain foods. Mothers can you help me? What foods, if any do I avoid when breastfeeding? Is some caffeine okay? I can't go a day without my diet coke.

My son is a week &1/2 old and he has trouble latching onto my breast. Sometimes I spend up to 20 mins trying to latch him on properly. We use the "football hold", I have tried the lap hold, that only works once in a while. Once he latches on he feeds just fine, but then he falls asleep, and I don't want to wake him to swich breasts because I spent so much time trying to get him on the first one. I do end up waking him and swiching him, but I feel like I am doing something wrong that he won't latch on nicely, it fustrates both of us and I don't want feeding time to be stressful. Will it ever get better/easier?

My son, who will be 5 months in just a few days, has what looks like ringworm on his calf. I have called the Dr (so please no, well why haven't you called the Dr answers??) but I am waiting on a return phone call. I'm just curious what your treatment was and if you knew where your child contacted the fungus? Oh and also what the skin lesion looked like. My son's is not a round spot, it's just a small (like men's shirt button) size place that is really rough to the touch. It's pink and more pink on the outer edges. Thanks!
