Newborn & Baby - December 2006

considering giving a fussy 2 month old baby cereal in a bottle to help him sleep through the night more. he's not colicky or anything, just won't sleep much an wants to stay up for some reason. I'll also been wanting to feed a lot lately so maybe the extra calories would do good. I have read varying things on the internet about it - some good some bad, but I know it's been done for years. Has anyone done this and how does it work? And what I'm really wondering is how much cereal to how much milk/formula? And has there been any negative side effects from it. Answer away :)

My baby sister has a terrible rash on her side and her leg. I think that it is slowly spreading. It is red and blotchy and she itches is a lot. She is only fifteen monthes old and won't see the doctor until next week. I need a remedy that will sooth the rash but will still be safe for her skin. And if anyone knows what it might be... At first we thought it was a reaction to a medication but if you think it may be something else please tell me.

my daughter wont eat unless she is tired enough to be ready for a nap. she's six months old, and my doctor told me she should be feeding every three or four hours but she just won't do it. he then advised me to switch to formula for a while to see how she took to it, she took well to it at first, drinking regularly but then tapered off just as she did with nursing. now she hates nursing and bottle feeding both, i think she thinks she has to sleep whenever she eats. they only thing she likes to do is eat rice cereal. plane, no fruit. is this just strange? i try not to get frusterated, but she only averages three to five bottle/breast feedings a day of 8oz. when they keep telling me eight to ten! plus she eats cereal twice a day. i've tried not feeding her the cereal to get her to want the milk, or anything, to eat more but nothing. she'll go all day until nap time till she'll take the milk. any words of advice out there? my doctor isn't very helpful.

Hand-stitch? Magic marker? Other ideas? Our day care requires each item be labelled, and labelling all the clothing seems like a HUGE project. Any suggestions for making it easier?

I personally do not produce milk. I breastfed for 2 weeks with my first and couldn;t understand why she was constantly at my breast and losing weight, until my lactation consultant figured out I just don;t make the stuff.

Some women are unable to do so because of past sexual abuse that makes it very hard for them to do anything of the sort.

That is why there is formula, a second best for sure...but if it was completely unhealthy then I imagine it wouldn;t be on the market...there are certain guidelines it must meet.

I just feel as though women need to try and understand each other before shoving opinions down everyones throat. My best friend has the market cornered on guilt...she went out a bought me a high end breast pump after we found out breastfeeding was not in the stars for me. I spent the entire time feeding my daughter her first bottle in tears because I felt like such a failure.

Lets try to be a little more compassionate maybe?

That they have the worst life ever. They say you messed your life up and things like that. Don't they know that you can have problems when you are older too when having a baby. I had my child at a young age. I'm still in college, I live on my own, I pay my own bills, I have my own car, no I'm not on welfare, and I'm not broke either. I was never the type to party anyway so not going out every weekend doesn't bother me. I never smoked and I never drank so that doesn't bother me either. My life is fine and I HATE WHEN PEOPLE SAY YOUNG PEOPLE RUIN THEIR LIVES WHEN HAVING BABIES.

No I didn't want a baby.......it was a mistake.

But at least Im not out aborting every baby that forms in my stomach like some people. And I think when people say things like that I think it encourages and makes people feel stupid when they do get pregnant. They feel embaressed and then want to get abortions and IT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 19 going on 20In caseyou wanted to know age

What do u think!!

I have read that the Evenflo Triumph Car Seat is also a great buy. My concern is safety. I was wondering if the Evenflo Car Seat as been through the same testing in Europe as the Britax Car Seat has? Has anyone had experience with both car seats? I'm a little low on cash and thats why I was looking at the Evenflo car seats.

my baby is 10 months old and is becoming very difficult. i dont know whether I am just seeing it that way coz i am pregnant again and really tired or what...it's just he seems to be so hard to handle now. he cries at tea time and throws tantrums....its really hard to feed him when he used to eat really well. he cries when we put him to bed for ages when he used to be out like a light straight away. I feel like im not enjoying him any more coz he is such hard work.....i dont know what im doing wrong and im dreading having to cope with two...will it get any better?? is it normal for babies to be like this when they used to be so well behaved?
