Newborn & Baby - November 2006

My son was fine this morning when he woke up then in no less than an hour he has a fever of 102.2, what could make this happen? I weaned him for day time breastfeeding over a week ago but today after his fever came out of nowhere he wanted to nurse could the breastmilk serve as a natural medicine as well.

My six month old daughter has already started asking me questions about what colleges she should attend. She is only six months old and only in the second grade. Is this normal behavior for someone so young or should I be concerned?

I'm so desperate, my ds was always good at the breast since he was born, but starting Oct 21st, he has been refusing my breast, would only nurse when I lay him down at night next to me. If I lay like this during the day, he wouldn't even touch it. Tried nurse walking him, tried everything that I could think of, I read online about a nursing strike, but they say that this should only last for about 4 days; it's been 22 days, ds is getting really skinny. We went for his 4th month checkup on the 3rd and I told the ped that he hasn't been nursing well; the ped didn't care to check, he said that as long as he gains 1lb/mth at least then he should be fine. Ds has always been a big boy, even now that hehas lost weight he is still within the normal range so i found that irrelevant. I don't think it's normal that in a day like today for example, he has only nursed once for like 5 minutes and starts arching his back and starts screaming if I even try to nurse longer. Anyone with same problem?

I don't know what to do. My 12 month old has had cold like symptoms for over a week and started running a high fever of 104 degrees Monday, we gave him tylenol and it went down but would rise again after just a few hours.
On Tues. we took him to the ER where no tests where done. The doc listened to his lungs looked in his ears and said it looks good so far. He said his throat looks like there may be puss so it's probably strep. He took no strep test. He gave the baby a shot of antibiotic that starts with an r but I cant spell it. I think it sounds like ro*ze*then*ol and prescribed zithromax.
The fever and all symptoms remained the same with the exception of the side effects of antibiotic which included diahrrea and an out of control yeast infection.
Friday night (lastnight) I took him to a different ER convinced the first doc didn't get the diagnosis right. The second doc said it's uncommon for babies of this age group to get strep and it cannot be diagnosed without a strep test. He ordered a blood culture and a chest x-ray. x-rays are good, chest is clear. He says he doesn't see anything life threatning goin on here but we nned to give him a shot of antibiotic (the same one the first doc gave him). I told him he just got that shot tues why are doing this again saturday? He explained that sometimes when people come in to the ER for one illness they will often leave with another contracted while in the waiting room.
I don't agree with giving baby more antibiotic but I allow it, I also followed the second docs advise about not giving baby any more of the zithromax that the first doc prescribed.
Today (day six) he woke up with a fever again, and again I have to constantly give him alternating doses of motrin and tylenol to keep it down. The only change in baby's condition is that now he is wetting his diaper once every 7-10 hours and it's not much. He's not eating so good. He's always hated juice and solid foods but aside from 6 oz of formula I was able to force down only 20cc of apple juice. Hubby is bringing pedialite which will also be forced down buy holding his arms down and holding his head while we push the fluid in his mouth with a medicine dispenser.
I don't know what else to do.
When is enough actually enough? The second doc did say for me to return if his fever doesn't go away in 2 days. But that is EXACTLY what I was doing there, following up since the fever hadn't gone down.
Taking him to his ped. doc isn't an option. My husband changed jobs so we've moved and the old heath insurance is gone as of 10-31-06 and new one becomes effective Jan 2, 2007.
We will greatly appreciate any help with this situation!

He always was sleeping this way.
In the day he falls asleep and sleeps the best in the pram, in the evening at breast at the same hour. I don't intend to wean very soon but...
What others sleep tips can I use?
What's next and about when? I mean, it's obvious he will not be like this all life but how things can change without too much pain?
How did you pass through something similar?

is it ok to try to switch my 10 month old to regular milk? She has been on nutramigine but, now she has outgrown her allergy to milk. It seems that the formula is not filling her up. If I do switch what is the best milk?

Last night my husband and I went out to celebrate our birthdays. My daughter is now 8 months old and does not nurse all day anymore,just a few times during the day. I had four drinks all rum & cokes. They were about 6 to 8 oz. I had my first drink at 12 and last at 2:30am. It is now 8 am.I have a head ache right now and feel a bit queezy. I have not eaten much since. When would be a good time to nurse her safely? Is there anything I can do to help the process? Thanks so much.

He was just at the doctors for a check up and he is under weight. He weighs 16.9lbs. The doctor ran blood tests and they all came out fine. He does very well eating he just doesnt gain weight well. How much does your ten month old weigh? His father is tall and skinny so I am thinking he is going to be like dad. He is almost 29 inches tall.
