Newborn & Baby - November 2006

My baby girl discovered her thumb a couple of weeks ago and just loves it. Will this be a problem later on? She does this mostly to fall asleep. She's been sleeping through the night for the past week now, even getting up at 9:00 this morning. Any thoughts?

My son is 11 months old and for the last few months he has been waking up 3 or more times a night. Yeah I give him a bottle to get him back to sleep even though he eats like a champ so I'm pretty sure he's not hungry. What's the best way to handle this?

My son was just prescribed antibiotics to treat ear infection. He, however, has NO symptoms ... no fever, no runny nose, no loss of appetite, no general discomfort or fussiness, no pulling on his ears... In fact, the only reason we went to the doctor was for his 9-month well-baby check up. I am reluctant to start him on antibiotics this early, and from what I looked up online, he really doesn’t need them -- the condition can resolve on its own. Do you have any experience in a similar situation? Please advise.

I have 6 lbs to go to reach my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm starting to worry that getting to that weight won't be enough to get me back into my old clothes. Did your hips go back to their old size after you lost the weight? I'm most concerned about my hips/thighs/stomach area...

If a person is old he will have his own tensions like if the person is a student he will have his exam tensions.if he is a working person he'll have financial problems and tensions.if he/she is a old lady/man they will have a tension at the thougt of their death.so a person usually will have only tensions in his mind.

Ok I am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and I have done lots of reading... the book "What to expect when you are expecting"... and its kiinda scaring me, the whole miscarriage section... so now I am worried about every little cramp or pain I feel.... does anyone understand how I feel... everyday I am thankful for a successful day... however its makinig me crazy... I know I shouldnt think about it, but with this being my first pregnancy I am, and I wish I wasn't... I am also thinking of happy things and wonderful things of how our (my husband, baby, and I) life will be... but the whole miscarry thing keeps creeping its way into my mind... so has anyone gone through this?? What are the odds of miscarrying??

I know the symptoms.... and I havent had any.

Can anyone give me some guidance or advice on how to get through these next 6 weeks??

Thank you sooooo much!!!!

Our 9 month old usually goes to sleep in our arms at night and we transfer her to her bed and she sleeps the entire night or if she wakes up she DOES self-soothe herself back to sleep. We have tried putting her in her crib when she is drowsy, but she just gets wide awake. She doesn't cry for us, she just is wide awake. I have been reading all this stuff about how important this is that we put her to bed drowsy----however this seems to work for us because we have a good sleeping baby. Parenting is different for everyone, I realize....but what long term BAD effects will it have later if we don't put her to bed drowsy? We really thought we were doing a great job with her and are SO happy with how she sleeps, but on the other hand, maybe we are doing something wrong? Thanks!
