I work in a WIC office as a nutritionist and have never really took notice to the shape of my 4mo infant's skull. At his doctor's appointment yesterday the nurse practitioner said that we should have him sleep on the other side because the one back side was getting a bit flat due to him laying on it all the time. I was at first worried that it could affect his brain development but was assured that the fluid surrounding his brain would stop it from getting "crowded out" and that it has enough space inside his skull. Still, I would like to help him have a normal shaped head and have been told by my co-workers that they have done a safe exercise on their babies where they would "mold" their baby's skull by gently rounding their hands over the back of his skull (avoiding the soft spot of course) every day. Anyone have any experience with this? or anything else that helps round things out a bit? Thanks and God Bless!!

My daughter is 5 months old and has been eating cereal twice a day since about 3 1/2 months. I want to make my own baby food and had read that babies should start with meats and alternatives then veggies, then fruit. I couldn't find the reason for this order, can anyone tell me why. Thanks

A friend of mine has a baby that is about 8 or 9 months old. Last week she had a horrible bought with the flu. She was in and out of the ER for vomiting and fear of dehydration. She thinks the flu has passed, but now she says that the baby seems to lose energy and appetite in the afternoon and is not eating as much as she should. The baby has also developed an oval shaped bump on her forehead. The mother said it doesn't hurt the baby to touch it, and the bump feels "squishy" - she thought it might be a cyst of some sort. The baby has now had X-Rays and a CAT scan done of this "bump" but the Dr's are saying now it is probablly a bruise. However, there is no color to it.. it's not purple or blue or any color but flesh. Don't bruises have a color? The mother says she just feels like something isn't right with the baby b/c of the low energy in the afternoon. Any idea's what this bump could be? Could it be a cyst? or is it really just a bruise??

Based on the first theory, what foods should I avoid not to give my baby a hard time? Do you think my diet may be a reason of his constipation if he is exclusively breastfed?
Does exercising affect the contents and taste of milk?

I am currently 27 weeks pregnant. This is my first baby and I want to breast feed. Please read all the way through and answer ALL the questions I have. My mother and my grandmother apparently both had problems with their milk "coming in" and not producing enough...does that mean I will not have enough milk? People keep saying that my colostrum should be in by now...but it is not..is that normal? How do you know if you are producing enough milk for your baby? If your baby gets up every hour on the hour to eat..does that mean you are not producing enough?? Any good websites or advice..or just general info would be helpful. Thanks

My 6 week old baby has trouble going to sleep after the last feed for the day (around 10 PM)...she seems to be having no other trouble than the fact that she's sleepy...but for some reason she just can't g to sleep until 12:30 AM or 1 AM when she's just too tired to fuss anymore...this has been happening for the past 2 weeks now and I am completely clueless :((...what can I do to help her...also, I think, because of this, she tends to be so sleepy during the day that she needs to be woken up for feedings and then falls asleep during a feeding

Okay before people go off on a tangent, hear me out. I am 30 weeks pregnant and am going to try to give my child breastmilk. However, when I had my daughter she was unable to breastfeed. It made me feel so bad that I cried about it a lot at first. (I tried lactation consultants and the whole bit). So I pumped and bottled. Guess what? She couldn't tolerate my breastmilk either and at six weeks was placed on a specialty formula. Still everytime I turned around I was being told "breast is best" and it made me feel really bad. Anyone else in this situation? When people say this do they realize some kids can't breastfeed? Please give me some insight.

My 2 1/2 month old has been taking similac advance but tonight he has been doing nothing but spitting up and being fussy he has spit up almost five times in one hour. He has always spat up with regular similac but not as much as tonight. Would it be ok to try him on similac advance soy formula to see if there is a difference I heard that helps with spit up fussiness and gas which he also has ALOT. Or is it not safe to switch without consuting his doctor or has anyone swithced and not had a problem and by switching I mean from regular to soy in similac.

My son is 5 weeks old and his legs shake many times a day. I know that newborns have a quiver at first but how long does it last? Plus this is not really a quiver his legs are shaking.

I'm breastfeeding my 6 day old daughter and I'm not sure if she's getting enough milk.
She doesn't sleep much at night but she sleeps well during the day.
She is having pees and poos and she does spit up once in awhile.
Yesterday my boobs were so sore and today they aren't and I started leaking today for the first time was I previously engorged.
