We just started giving my 3.5 mo. old a little rice cereal (mixed with her normal formula) once a day. When we give it to her, she makes the most horrible faces. Could this be because she hates the taste? Or could it be that she isn't quite ready for solid foods? Or could it be something else?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am breastfeeding and my baby has not pooped in a week. I know its normal for them to go every few days, but it's been a week now. I was told it could be what I am eating that makes her not able to poop. What can I eat to make her go and what am I eating that would stop her from going? Serious answers please. I am calling the doctor tomorrow so don't say that.

I was told that once my daughter reaches 6 months I can start adding Rice Cereal to her formula by her pediatrician. Other Mom's have recommended added a smidge of Rice Cereal to my newborns feeding at night to hold her over longer in then night. Is this okay? Any other suggestions as to helping her sleep at night?

My 6mo old daughter has always been hard to get to go to sleep at night or even take a nap. she usually tosses her head back and forth or rubs her eyes to prevent herself from sleeping even if she's tired. but lately she's been hitting herself in the head in order to hold sleep at bay. i have to hold her hands down to get her to sleep. i've been told its pretty normal by my inlaws and a few friends, just wondering if it really is normal?

My 5 week old baby has a rash on her face and the back of her neck that looks like tiny pimples. Is this normal? Could it be the baby ance I heard about? Should I take her to the doctor? Also I am breastfeeding her and I know it's normal for her not to poop everyday, but it's been a week, should I worry yet?

My one month old daughter seems to want to be awake for hours at a time. I've been told that a baby of this age should be awake for a max of 2 hours at a time! I feel like I'm doing something terribly wrong... My daughter normally wants to be awake from around 8am to 12 or 1pm. She will then go down until around 4pm, and wake up for a feed. Going down again, we wake her at 8pm for another feed. She then generally has a longer sleep, normally lasting until 1am, and then wakes up at around 4.30, and then again at 8. Is this normal?

I've heard there's a new product on the market. My baby is 8 months already and hasn't received it. A magazine says that 100% of all kids contract this disease before they turn 5. Generally I wouldn't want to go for it, but the numbers are confusing.

What do you think?
Thanks.

Everything else seems to be normal except for this and also she drools often. Is this something I should worry about, or is this normal. Thanks. Ed

Andrew will be one in Jan.... he is crawling and standing with the help of objects.

Lately he has been very defiant, something our daughter never did..... He grabs for things and then when they are taken away he screams and cries. He follows Me everywhere and cries to be picked up. Sometimes he doesnt sleep through the night and will wake up screaming until I arrive.

He is defiant all day.... I understand he is establishing independence, but whats with the scraming when he doesnt get what he wants?


This is so new to us, Help!

I have to fly to St. Louis with my 4 month old baby. I can only get a seat for me, she will have to travel on my lap, so we can have 2 checked items, 1 carry-on item, and 1 personal item (the diaper bag).

Any suggestions for how to get all of her STUFF to the other end without exceeding the baggage limit? I can bring either an umbrella stroller or a snap'n'go with a carseat (would that count as 2 checked items?). General suggestions for check-in and flying also appreciated!

My 5 month old needs to be rocked every night in order to fall asleep. Once he's asleep he will sleep the whole night through but the problem is that rocking him to sleep can take anywhere from a half hour to 2 hours! How do I begin to break this habit and help him fall sleep on his own? I have tried leaving him in his crib once he's drowsy but once I leave he cries hysterically nonstop, even when I check in on him every few minutes...please help!
