Newborn & Baby - November 2006

Hi, At two weeks old my son was diagnosed with milk allergy. He was switched to soy formula but two days ago his dr said the diaper still tested positive for blood so she switched him to Nutramigen.
My1st question, is it possible he was misdiagnosed? I've been reading up on milk allergy symptoms and he doesn't seem to be exhibiting all of them. He's never vomitted and never had diarrhea while on cow's milk and soy milk. He's also been gaining weight. He was born 5lbs 14ozs and now at 5wks he's 9lbs 3ozs.The only concern i have really is his grunting (even while asleep) makes him all red and most of the time ends up with him crying. What else could be causing this?
My 2nd question is, with how fast did you see improvements when you switched to hypoallergenic formula.
Should i be consulting a GI specialist?

Yesterday,at work, I pumped milk for my 12 week old infant. It was placed in the freezer and had slightly froze when I removed it at the end of the day. This morning I realized that I had left it in my bag. When I checked it, it still had a slight chill (not cold) to it. I opened it to check for a smell or a sign of spoilage, but there were none. I immediately refrigerated it. Is it safe for me to still give it to my child.

I have a 6 week old baby who grunts all the time. My pediatrician says it is fine since she doesn't seem to be in distress. But my husband and I are concerned she has a need we are not meeting, especially since it seems to be pretty constant. Is it just normal "vocalization" or something else?

They are coming over to babysit my 2 1/2 month old baby tonight. They are coming over at 7:00 and her bedtime is 8:00. We have been doing a bedtime routine (bath, bottle, story, snuggle, bed)..it takes about an hour and it's been working like a charm (sleeping through the night finally). I really want them to follow the routine, but that means they won't get much play time with her...they're going to be basically just coming over (driving 20 min) to put her to bed and sit around and wait for us to come home. Should I insist that they follow the routine? Or should I just let it go for one night and let them play with their grand daughter?

My son is 15 weeks old and has always wanted to eat at the same times usually. Well now we have upgraded to bigger bottles and he is chowing them down! It just seems like he is hungry all the time so for the past few weeks I have been giving him a tablespoon of rice cereal in his bottles at night before he goes to bed. But during the day he is still eating all the time. Should I start giving him cereal during the day in his bottles or even spoon feeding it? Or should I try baby food?

I know that the umbilical cord is tied off and cut, seperating the Mother and Child. What happens to the part that is attached to the Mother? Does it fall off, is it cut off or is it placed back inside the Mother.

How long is it and what is it attached to?

I know this is a weird question coming from a guy but I really don't know. I asked my girlfriend who has 2 kids and she didn't even know. She slept through it.

I'd really like to know and after the smart a** answers (which are pretty funny sometimes), I can find out the truth.

Thanks in advance for you answer to this. Mike h.

We've been feeding him fruits, veggies and rice off and on, but I never know when to give him which. For instance should I do: veggies/fruits for breakfast, formula, rice for lunch.. etc?

Since introducing her to new foods she doesn't want anything really to do with her milk. She went from eating 6oz every three hours to 2-4oz. I'm afraid she isn't going to gain weight properly of even loose weight

Most animals can stand up and walk within hours or days of being born, but human babies can't even hold their heads up for some while. It seems like an evolutionary failing, if you ask me. Were the children of cavemen this vulnerable?

Many people have told me how they know what their baby wants from their cry. My son is 8 weeks old but i can't tell the difference between his cries. Can you normally tell by now?
