I wouldn't have any, of course, but would the hospital allow it?

I have a six-month-old daughter who, ever since birth, has favored the right side while nursing. Even just before she was born, when just my colostrum was coming in, my right side produced more than the left, and continues to be this way even now. Because of this one-sided favoritism, I always nurse her on the less-favored side first, and while she clearly isn't overjoyed about it, she will usually nurse on that side for about five or ten minutes. However, in the last day or two, she has gone on strike against that side completely, and won't settle down to really nurse well until I switch her to the right side. What can I do about this? Could this just be a phase? I still offer the left side every time, but is there anything I can do to get her to nurse longer on that side? Thanks!

We are first-time parents and our daughter is now 12 weeks old and is still not sleeping through the night. She doesn't seem to like the moses basket and wakes up immediately when you put her in there. We have been trying her in the cot and she still isn't sleeping. She seems to have day and night mixed up, which i hear is normal. But how can we turn it around? Does it make a difference that she was 5 weeks premature? Do I just let her naturally get into a sleeping pattern or are there any tricks? Please help.

I have been fighting a head cold for a couple of days and I think my son may be getting it. When he cries he sounds like his throat hurts.

Okay, my baby girl is due in January and we have no clue what to name her:( We would kind of like something that has a family connection, but we don't like any of the names in our families. There are a lot of names in our families that start with J so that is an idea. My name is Jami Renea and his is Thomas Joe... any combination of these was another idea we had. However, we just can't come up with anything we like... PLEASE HELP!

My 3 month old has round white spots on the insides of her cheek (nothing on her tongue or throat that I can see). I can't tell if it's formula or Thrush. When I try to wipe it off (which is not easy with a newborn, as you can imagine), it seems to be wiping off quite easily. Her gums and the insides of her cheeks look slightly redder than normal. Could this be thrush? Or just formula residue?

P.S. Please don't tell me to contact a doctor. I have called and I am waiting for a call back. I'm looking for info from experienced parents who have dealt with Thrush before. Thanks.

I am pregnant and I only want to breast feed for 2 months to give the baby the immuntities, but I want to know how long it will take for my breasts to get back to normal. I normally am a 36 D and at 14 weeks pregnant I am already a 36DD and I am terrified of how big my breasts will be after the milk comes in.

I talked to the pediatrician about this and she just said it could be something im eating. I have read that breastfed baby poop should be yellow with curds in it and that consistently green poop could indicate an allergy or hindmilk/foremilk problem. I have eliminated potentially allergic foods and stopped taking vitamins to see if it would help. She is emtying both breasts so I dont know if it could still be a hindmilk imbalance. My baby is gaining weight just fine. She is almost 3 months and 12lbs. If your baby is 100 breastfed what does their poop look like? The only time my baby poops yellow is when I go to work the one day a week on saturday and my hubby gives her formula. Thanks

Obviously, you should never use a TV as a "babysitter" for your young child. But what if the TV is on a couple hours throughout the day, and your baby watches a little bit of it (like a half an hour or so). Can that cause ADD problems when they are older?

My husband says the only reason why he doesn't like to do it is because he doesn't want to have another baby so soon. Does anyone believe this or does anyone think that he just doesn't enjoy it with me?
