Newborn & Baby - December 2006

How many months should your baby be before you start stage 2 baby food? Aidan is almost 6 months old and has been eating stage 1 since he was 4 months. Just not sure when to start him on stage 2. I know it has a thicker consistency than Stage 1.

I have a little boy who is almost 8 months old. He sleeps wonderfully in his crib all night from about 8pm-7am. He will usually take a morning nap in his crib, but after lunch he takes a long (2-3hours) nap in his swing. He is appx 21lbs and his swing only goes to 25lbs. I am trying to decide how and when to transition that long nap to his crib. I tried before this, several times, to put him in his crib for that nap, but he wakes 45 minutes into it and will NOT go back to sleep. He will get so worked up that he can't go back to sleep, even though he is cranky and needs to. Anyone have any experience with this? Any good tips or advice? He is a VERY stubborn little boy and does not like to take naps anyway. He fights sleep during the day, no matter how tired he may be. Thanks for any advice... please don't post criticism about him sleeping in the swing; we are all moms and do the best we can for our children. Thanks again!

I'm the mother of a beautiful 11 month old baby girl. She was adopted when she was born but I told my friends that she had died in the hospital so they wouldn't worry about me. I'm a sophomore in high school and I would like to know how to tell them the truth. I'm moving away soon and can't bear to keep this from them much longer!!!

I think I am losing it...

I have 3 little ones, one of which lives an hour away until school is out...

The 2 that I do have at home however, A 20 month old boy, And a 6 week old girl...I can't even get 5 minutes to shower, Let alone do anything else. My fiance works from 6am-6pm M-F, And then when he does get home, he's so worn out (He's a roofer) that he's almost ready for bed immediately...I don't get outside the house much at all...

And if it isn't one child crying, It's the other, I am ready to just pack up my belongings and walk out and never look back! I know that sounds horrible, And I know, If I didn't want to deal with children, I shouldn't have had them, It's not that I don't want to deal with them, I love all of my kids, I just feel like I have NO time for me, Not even bathtime is personal anymore, Because my 20 month old is very much so a mama's boy, And wants to be where I am at all times.

Any suggestions??!?!!? *sigh* Am I the only one that has ever (cont)

I have a baby due in May and a son that just turned 5. My husband wants me to stay home with them and resign my job position. My son has asthma and gets very sick very easily. He is wanting me to consider homeschooling him also at least till he gets a little older and builds his immune system. I want to stay home also for the most part, we can make it on my husbands income if we cut back a little and watch our money closely. I have just always had a job and feel guilty for not bringing home a paycheck. Has anyone else been through a situation like this and had these feelings?

I just bought a Little Tykes kitchen set for my 8.5 mth old son for Christmas. My husband asked why I didn't get him the tool workshop instead. What are your thoughts on a kitchen set for a boy?

Sanitizing bottles?
My daughter is 3.5 months old. I've been washing her bottles etc. in the dishwasher and boiling the nipples/rings/pacifiers twice a week. Am I over-doing it? Now that she's a little older, would it be okay just to wash them in the dishwasher and forget the boiling?

My brother learns what we are saying better if we show hm sorta what we mean rather than if we say it to him. Is there any other ways to tell him what we mean?

So far he knows:

finger up to mouth: stop making noise
point to the corner: time-out
hands up as if to say raise in a court: you can get up now
shake head: no
take his hand: follow me

my son is 2.5months old now.
we intend to start solid food by around the 5th month.

what should i start with and how should it be scheduled?


i havent bottle fed him anything.experienced people have told me its better to feed him once in a while with a bottle so that it will help when we go out with the baby. what shud i give him to be bottle fed. will it be possible for him to eat if i spoon feed him rite from the start.

i am exclusively breast feeding him and plan to continue it as his main food till his one year.
ive read that its always better to start with solid food after 6months.i just wanted to.....like..... just giv food very lightly for the first few months as i want to keep breast feding as his main food till at least one year.
please help me.i know many will discourage giving soild food before 6months but please give me your suggestions.

Termonology question: When they talk about "solid foods," are they talking about just the jarred stuff, or is rice cereal included in that category?

Our four-week-old baby seems to have caught his mummy's cold and so he is not sleeping well when he gets stuffed up, and it seems to get worse at night and when he cries. Is there anything we can do to help him sleep and relieve his congestion? Apart from his cold he seems well enough and is eating well.
