My son hasnt learned how to self feed yet. He crawls all over the house n picks up small things but he doesnt put them in his mouth. My mom n everyone else is amazed by it but im concerned that he SHOULD be putting things in his mouth in order for him to learn how to feed himself.

Are there some methods I could use to teach him or am i just getting worried for no reason?

As u can tell im a first-time mom! =)

Where have you found items for free? Did you tell someone or a church or on-line group that you needed baby items?

Diapers, wipes, car seat, swing, clothing, etc.

Ok, my mother in law and I are having an agrument and I need help...
I went to the hospital at 730am on 8/17 to be induced. My water was broken at about 830am. I labored all day and into the night. Finally at aound midnight I was fully dialated and ready to push (16.5 hrs after my water was broken). I pushed until 3am, at which time the baby's shoulder got stuck and I ended up with a c-section. The baby is fine, I am fine, everything turned out ok.
My mother in law thinks that they should have done the c-section earlier - even before I began pushing - because it had been too long after my water was broken. Please help, as I really don't know about this one.

I have an 8 month old who eats solid foods now. What is the best way to clean the poop off the cloth diaper? I've been using the disposable liners but just wondered if there is a quick and easy way to clean the diapers if you aren't using a liner even when it's a mushy mess! My method was shake, rinse, and squeeze out the water but it was really messy so that's why I started to use liners. Anyone want to share their methods? Thanks.

(for someone on a tight budget)

After that, any item you think is "worth" the extra money, but not a necessity?

My baby had her 1st immunization shots Friday 12/15/06 (she also turned 2 months that same day) and she did very, very good. I mean, she didn't cry for that long when she got her shots. I've been giving her pain meds every 4 1/2 to 5 hours or as needed. If I notice her legs are bothering her. Anyways.....I know babies hit milestones all the time, but i've been noticing that she has been turning her head (almost like rooting) when i feed her. She does it especially when I feed her almost to the point that it is hard to feed her. I don't know if it has anything to do w/the shots, I never noticed it prior the shots that is why I am associating it w/the shots. I read that babies who do that rooting thing, they turn their heads to the side. Well, she did it before, but ever since Friday (her shots) she has been doing it non-stop. Then I was thinking maybe she has an ear ache or something and that is why she is turning in that direction, because of pain. Any thoughts on what it is?

I plan on pumping once I return to work. With my first pregnancy, I had a battery operated breastpump from Target that cost like $30 dollars, it was no good! I thought that it was just using a pump in general, but it would just take like 30 min. to get 3 ounces. I didn't realize then that they had expensive electric pumps. Are these worth it? I would be willing to invest around $100-2 for a good pump if it is, as I will be needing this when I return to work. Thanks!

We are thinking of getting a 'Mountain Buggy' 3 wheeler for our newborn as we live in a rural area in Scotland and ( hope!) to use it for forest track walks and also understand they are good for children up to about 4 years old. However they are expensive (£500)....and I've heard quite cumbersome to manoeuvre.
Anyone any experience of any other 3 wheeler buggys which are good for off pavement as well as on? Have also looked at 'Phil and Teds' and 'Out and About' Nippers.

My son is 3 months old. We read all the time and I try to play games that will stimulate his mind, but I need some more tips.

So does anyone have some good games/songs/whatever to help stimulate him?

No, I do not think I'm a better mother because I breastfeed, however I do want what's healthier for my baby and I feel that breastfeeding is. Many mothers that I've talked to absolutely refuse to even try breastfeeding as an option. They look at me like it's barbaric or something. They say, "Oh, I tried it once, but it hurt, so I switched to formula...ect..." So, I say, if you play the guitar, wouldn't it take a while to develop caluses on your fingers until you get used to it? Same thing with breastfeeding, of course it will hurt at first, but then you get used to it. What is wrong with mothers these days? Is breastfeeding something that women are embarrassed of or is it just the laziness of our society?

I had my baby dec 10th and everything went fine, I came home fine, since yesterday every once in awhile more so in morning I feel really light headed sometimes even dizzy. Is this normal? I dont remember this with my daughter. I also have lots of pressure in my face like sinuses. Could this be causing the dizzyness?

My son is almost one and has been sick with a cough or bronchitus for over 4 months now and he's being treated by a doctor. I changed his sheets last night and found mold all through his mattress. I threw it away and put our other mattress on it and he has slept better than he has in months. I am trying to find out if anyone has any info on the effects of mold and if the illness goes away when you get rid of the mold. Also does anyone have any experience with the long term effects it might have on my son?
