Newborn & Baby - November 2006

It's perfectly natural and wonderful. Also, it has many physical and psychological benefits for both mother and child. It's no different than a mother cat nursing her kittens. The only difference is that we don't have fur covering our breasts.

My friend has a newborn baby. she was born prematurely at 30 weeks. She is almost 2 months old now and doing great...aside from the fact that she doesnt poop. She has gone up to seven days without a poopy and when she finally did it was because we gave her a glycerin suppository. My friends Doctor said that it is normal for some babies to go that long without a poopy, I do not agree. She gives her prune juice and colace drops and they have tried switching her to soy formula but it made it worse, she started being fussy and throwing up more. What could be going on here. Is this normal? Do you have a story or remedy or suggestion? I know this is long, thanks for reading it, and thanks ahead for any help offered!

Who else would be completely pissed and ready to raise hell?

So, after talking to a few of you the other day, I decided to go ahead and take my son to the hospital. I got there at six o clock. Every single nurse there was telling me that i was over-reacting and that I was just paranoid because he sounded clear as a bell to them. (you could feel the vibration of his hard breathing by putting your hand on his back or stomach). I was getting more and more pissed, but I waited. I would not leave without seeing the doctor. ELEVEN THIRTY comes around and the doctor finally comes to see him. He immediately orders the nurse to get some mist thing to spray in his face to clear his airways. (he could see the way his chest was going really deep as I had been trying to tell everyone else). He then did xrays and said my son had pnuemonia.

I was in shock. I knew it had to be something, but pnuemonia? And for so many people to just write me off and say it was nothing?? He told me that my son

My baby is 5 weeks old and she wants to be fed every two hours, all I seem to do is be feeding all day and at night too, its really getting me down and I dont have time to do anything else. either she's asleep or at the breast. Im wondering whether i've got really weak milk and maybe shes not getting full, I just want to pack it all in and give her formula milk, but I've worked so hard for the last 5 weeks I dont want to just give in. She feeds for about 10 minutes on each breast every 1 and a half hours

We have tried gas drops, trying to burp her for hours on end. Last night her stomach was hard as a rock, and she could not get it out, and we couldn't either. She finally burped, but it was at least 3 hours later. Is there a home remedy we could try, or is this a medical problem that we should seek help from a doctor?

Can someone sort me out on this. My 4 week old is going in for his circumciom tomorow. He wa snot done at birth for other reasons. But since there's a little flap joinin his toes they will do it at the same time.

Then this norning my friend is telling me it's not necessary etc. I had not even thought much about it and thought it was simply a hygine issue.

I'll probably still have it done but whats the true story here?

He is three months and I feed him every three hours, six times in a 24 hour period. He has been fed every three hours since he was born. I pump so I know he currently drinks between 28 and 34 ounces depending on how hungry he is that day. When is it a good time to extend the time between each feeding to lets say every four hours? Thank you for your time!
