Newborn & Baby - December 2006

Are the infant travel systems with the car seat and stroller a good buy? My only worry is that my baby will grow out of the car seat too fast, and I won't be able to find a toddler seat that will snap into the stroller base. Should I just purchase a car seat that will work for any age and a nice stroller? Anyone have an opinion?

what items would s/he find interesting? what items would need a little explaining? what would you like them to know (or not know) about the year of their birth? why?

When I was shopping for infant car seats, I asked the salesperson (at BabiesRUs) if all the infant car seats fit in a shopping cart. He said, "No, they are not meant for that." Interesting, because they seem to fit just about every cart, even latching right on! If you're not supposed to put the car seat on that part, what are you supposed to do, put it right in the basket? Where the heck would you put your groceries? That just doesn't make sense to me.

Hi all, my 11 month old has stopped eating, from being a really good eater he has gone to eating one or two spoonfuls then spits the rest out. He is just starting to eat finger foods but will only eat a small amount of those too. If I give him something sweet like a fruit puree he will eat all of that, but I don't want him eating sweet things all of the time, I want him to have a healthy balanced diet. How do I get him to start eating again?

My son is ten months old and this morning he woke up with a swollen right eye. It did not seem to be bothering him but it's bothering me. There is a small red area beneath his eye as well. His left eye is slightly swollen, not as bad. When he went to bed they were find. Any suggestions or opinions?

She's 8 months old now and so attached to me that I can't even leave the room for a minute when I'm at home. It does work when I'm in school though. My hubby takes care of her then. But I'm always back after 3 hrs. We re-arranged our schedules so one of us is always available.
What would you suggest and is this common?

We have tried everything we can think of to try and get her to sleep for longer periods at night.
She has 5 ozs before having her nice relaxing bath, she then takes another 4 ozs.
She goes down about 8.30 and will be awake again about an hour later. This will go on all night, she just cant seem to settle into a sound sleep.
We have tried putting baby rice in her bottle, trying her with a dummy, keeping her up a little later at night, keeping her awake all day, making sure she is active all day, putting a pillow in her cot, giving her nurofen before sleeping, bringing her into our bed, massaging her after her bath, putting lavender drops onto her pillow, giving her a dream feed, etc etc.
So if anyone has any more suggestions they would be more than welcome

My 3 month old's last feeding is around 8-9 pm, he falls asleep between 9-10 pm and wakes up around 2-3 am to eat, then 5 am, then 7-8 am. Is this considered "sleeping thru the night"? During the day, he eats appx 3 oz every 2-3 hours. Is this ok? I try to get him to eat more hoping it'll stretch his feeding to every 4 hours but he doesn't want it.

Do mixed children have shorter lifespans than non-mixed children? Are there statistics to show this? And is there technology nowadays which somehow allow mixed children to live as long as non-mixed children?

My son is turning one next week and I was just wondering when parents start having their infants sleep in a toddler bed. I know my son is way to small for the bed, but I just want to get an idea because I dropped the crib mattress almost to the ground and when he stands, I'm afraid he will topple over. I do have one of those crib tents over the crib to make sure he does not fall over, but I assume in a few months he will be trying to get out of the crib or worse falling out of the crib. When I purchased the crib it stated for 0 - 3 yrs, but I can not see my son being in the crib until his is 3. What signs should I look for in the upcoming months to know when my son is ready for the toddler bed?

I'm concerned because my mother in law has a dog, and my 7 month old daughter likes to play with him, but a lot of times my mother in law is holding the baby, talking on the phone and when she is distracted, the dog licks my daughters mouth! I hate being a "germophobic" but I just worry about my daughter. I don't wanna sound too exaggerated, but I wanna know how bad is this? If it's not that serious, I will just "lighten up" a little and stop worrying about the goofy dog licking her mouth. But IF IT IS SERIOUS and she can get sick, I don't want that dog near her!

Could yo please help me!?

Thanks!!
