Newborn & Baby - November 2006

My 10 and 1/2 week old baby goes to sleep around 9:30 then back up at 3:30 for a bottle up until 4:30 then back up at 6:00. Just wondering if this sounds about right for her age. She takes 4-5 ounces a bottle.

I plan to breastfeed my third child when she gets here next month. Some of my family members are disgusted by that and don't think I should attend family functions if I need to feed her unless I banish myself to the back room. Even if done modestly, some of them feel the sound of the sucking baby is disgusting. However, the sucking from a bottle is somehow OK.

I was very hurt by the reaction and felt very ganged up on when we talked about it. Some people feel the breasts are only for sexual reasons, and if a woman breastfeeds, they don't want to explain why the baby is suckling on my breast to their children. Is this sick or what? I wonder how they explain those magazines at the grocery store check out and the commercials, movies and video games to their children.

I would love your honest opinions on this.

My 5 month old just had his first tooth push through his bottom gum. You can see it if you look closely, and can feel it if you rub your finger along his bottom gum. How long does it typically take for a tooth to push all the way out of the gums??

My daughter is 12, my son is 7... and I am due in January...Clearly, my children have been spaced quite a distance apart in years. I've sold or given away almost ALL of my baby items. With our finances in a shamble, I often wonder how we'll get by unless someone has a baby shower for the baby. None of my friends or relatives have offered and I really don't like the idea of hosting one myself. I had showers with both of my other children... and received a lot of very nice things. It would be SOOO helpful to have another shower. Would it be out of line to maybe host a "Meet the Baby Party"? And if so, at what age is appropriate to hold the event?

I'd love your feedback on this.

Our little girl had her 6 month checkup today and we were told that her head circumference has only increased by 1cm in 2 months is this something to be worried about?. Her length and weight growth are increasing fine though.

I had my scan done yesterday and came into work to show my colleagues and to copy and scan it so as to send it to family overseas, but one of the girls says that you cant do this as it ruins the picture, or something???

Can you tell me if this is true??? Have any of you girls out there done this???

Its not one of the modern 3D ones just the usual black and white traditionale pciture.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

A married couple having their first baby was invited to make use of a new Machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pains to the Baby's biological father.

Both were happy to try it.

The pain transfer was set to 10 percent but the husband felt nothing so the doctor increased it to 20 percent. The father said he still felt fine and his blood pressure was normal. He invited the doctor to kick it up to 50 percent. Still no reaction. The doctor was amazed and slowly transferred all the pain until the wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain.

She, the husband and the doctor were ecstatic. When they got home, the gardener was lying dead at the gate.

He is about to turn 6 months old and he is a real little piggy! It often seems he would rather eat than nurse. He will refuse to nurse and then cry for food. He eats a lot of peaches, pears, tofu, avocado, pumpkin and healthy stuff like that. But how can I make sure he is nursing enough? His older brother nursed as often and as long as possible (he did quit when he was 2) so I am surprised his baby brother doesn't seem to want it as much.

I have switched my son from one cows based formula to another (just a different brand). Both are thickened (he has reflux), but the one I changed to was for sensitive tummies. He was 8 weeks old when I switched him. It has been a week, and he still has diarrhoea. How long is it normal to last? Thanks in advanced for the feedback.
