Newborn & Baby - December 2006

I know they need 16 hours of sleep minimum, and they shouldn't stay awake more than 2 hours at a time. But how often do yours nap? And how long each time?

My daughter is 4 months old. For a while, she slept for 9-10 hours at night. But over the past couple of weeks, she's been waking up 2-3 times a night! I make sure she's fed well, and even give her a little cereal right before bed hoping to tide her over a little. But it hasn't worked. Any suggestions?

Hi Guys, I'm 31 weeks pregnant and found out I'm having a baby boy due on the 16th of Feb 2006. My Husband Daniel and I have a beautiful 2 yr old son named, Zac Anthony Culbert and we would really like to have a boys name that goes with Zac, nice and short. My Grandfather passed a few years ago and we have decided our new baby boys middle name will be Geoffrey after my Grandfather, so it has to go with Geoffrey Culbert!! Hope you can help.

When did your baby/child with reflux outgrow it? My 7 month old was on Zantac, then switched to Prevacid. He has diarrhea and is sleepy all the time on it. He also stopped eating solids since he has been taking it (I suppose because its mixed with his food knows the strawberry taste) I am just curious when other reflux babies outgrew it, and how long he will have to go through this!

he was born at 32 weeks, because my liver was shutting down..i have hellp syndrome. But they moved my baby from nicu to nim and he got a IV burn while in Nim but the nurse who was suppose to be takin care of him was spending more time with the other 4 babies she had, and they were all (go home) babies, babies on their way home...mine still dont even know how to eat from a bottle or breast yet. she then made the comment that she thought it was a birth mark. the burn is so bad that they had a plastic surgeon come to see him. i took pictures....what else should i do??!! also the burn caused the other side of his head to swell up and retain fluid...which then caused his left eye to also swell and then it got infected and now its goopy and needs to be cleaned almost every hour....should I contact a lawyer about this? this nurse is at fault i would think..

My newborn consistently eats every hour during the day. At night, he's able to sleep 3 hours before crying for the next feeding. After he wakes up in the morning, he would eat every 2 hour at first. And after his first nap of the day, he would get hungry every hour. I'm still not sure if I'm comfort nursing him, but I always try the rest of the 5 s before nursing him. I check his diaper, I put him on the swing, I run the blowdryer. And he is usually sticking out his tongue like he is licking something before I nurse him. Also I try to put him down for naps (although not always successful) before he's been up for 2 hours to make sure he's not cranky from being overtired.

I know I have enough milk supply because he's gone from 7 lb 5 oz, to 10 lb in 5 weeks. I don't think he's having a growth spurt because he's been like this for a while. Is this normal? What else could be causing him to eat so often??

Thanks.

My daughter born October 17 has slept from 10pm-5:30 or 6am since she was 5 days old. Over the past 2 or 3 nights she has been increasingly fussy at night and during the day (she never ever fusses), shes drooling a ton, theres 2 small white spots on her lower gums in the middle and when I was feeling them she dropped her jaw and started smiling as I rubbed her gums like she was relieved. Is this possible??? What can I do to help her?

My 10 month old had a very high fever of 103 - 104.3 last night and tylenol wasn't working so I took her to urgent care. She doesn't have an ear infection, urinary tract infection or infection of the blood. They gave her a shot of antibiotics to be safe and sent us home. Her fever is still just as high 24 hours later and I was curious if anyone knows how long antibiotics take to make any difference? She does have a follow up with her doc in the morn, but I thought maybe someone had some ideas.

My baby got cradle cap at one month of age. I got rid of it, and now every week I take preventative measures against it (rubbing in baby oil, then combing it through before shampooing it). She's 10 months old now. How long should I keep doing this?

I am a new mom, my newborn is now 3 wks old. She makes a tremendous amount of noise while she is sleeping at night. She grunts, snorts, cries (in her sleep) and makes a straining noise as if she is using the bathroom (but she has no trouble doing this) The pediatrician said this was normal. Has anyone had a baby that does this? She makes these sounds constantly, like every couple of minutes while sleeping. Also, any suggestions on changing her sleep pattern from sleeping in the day to the night? Also she hates to be put down and cries often. Any suggestions on how to break her from this habit. When would be a good time to add cereal to her breastmilk? I am breastfeeding. Does anyone know of any foods from their experience that may be setting her off that I should not eat. I don't eat any spicy food or foods that would cause gas such as beans or brocolli. I do eat salads and drink herbal tea a lot. I switched from regular milk to soy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
