Newborn & Baby - November 2006

My 8-mo old son had a temperature this morning and I gave him Tylenol before I dropped him at daycare. They do not administer medicine at the facility so when it wears off in 4 or 6 hours he may need another dose. I did not do it, but I was thinking on my way to work, if I added the dosage to a bottle would that do the trick? Hmmm...

I never meant to intend that I would kill the baby or even give it up I was just looking for some sort of support for going through this while suffering the loss of my father. I love my children more than anything I just needed help with dealing with my loss. I guess I am too new at this site to know how to word things. My apoligies. I know god will help me through this I just really dont feel strong enough to do it.

My babysitter loves my 7 month old. She takes great care of him. It's hard to find that now a days. She watches my best friends son also. Those are the only two she keeps. She gets paid 60.00 a week which is great for us. My son is a very good baby. He hardly cries ever unless hes teething. He occupies himself and goes to sleep with out a bottle or anything. Now that he is going there she started rocking him to sleep, holding him the whole time hes there. (she told me all of this). Now I see a change in him. He has to be rocked to sleep and wants to be held a lot more. I brought this to her attention and she shrugged it off. She is still doing all of that. Well for the last 4 days my sister-in-law has watched him. She has taught him to say momma, feed himself, and shes breaking the cycle of wanting to be held 24/7. What do I do when I take him back to the babysitters? How can I tell my babysitter to stop spoiling him when she don't listen? I do not want my son spoiled. Any ideas?

My little girl will be a year old on the 7th of December...she weighs 24.5 lbs. Currently she is still rear facing in her carseat, but she's so tall her legs are scrunched against the seat of the vehicle...she can't stretch her legs straight. Do you think it's ok to turn her around to face front in the backseat at this point?

How old does your baby have to be to get the flu shot? I got it last year when I was pregnant and would like to get it for my son, just wondering if anyone had this information. I plan on asking the doctor when we go next week.

This is my first baby! My son is 6 weeks old and only breastfed and during the day eats every 3 hours....but at night he will eat only once. Should I be worried or should I wake him to eat every 3 hours. If he eats only once a nite...I wake up with extremely full breasts and a wet shirt. Please help! :(

My son is 7.5 months old.

He is very weak and just of average weight.

The problem is that he does not take any other food apart from mother,s feed.The mothers' feed is not sufficient.

He clenches his lips very tight and refuses to eat any other thing that we try to feed him (cerelac, mashed fruits/vegetable etc.).
So he remains hungry for upto 24 hours and keep crying all the time.

If we force him by persisitng for long, he immediately vomits out whatever he has eaten.

But when he has taken mothers feed, he is hapy for sometime and does not vomit.

What could be wrong? How to rectify the problem?

I just wanted to know from moms out there if you feel you are smarter now that you've had a child. There have been studies done about this, with findings that child-bearing's actually been beneficial to women's memories. Would you say that you are more focused since you've become mothers?
