Hi, My baby is 7 weeks old and he is on Enfamil Lipil with Iron. He did good for like the first 2 weeks, but since then he spits up pretty much everytime he eats. Then he wants more. And he has a tough time making a bowel movement. Is this any reason for concern or is it normal, please someone help. I can't call the doctor until tuesday.

My niece (who is my world!) is turning 1 in February. Obviously I want to give her something very special. She has all the toys that her house can hold, and more than enough clothing, thanks to many doting relatives. Her parents do not have a lot of money, and I want to give her some sort of a monetary gift that will be available to her around the time she would leave home/start college. Are savings bonds still around? How can I set aside $75 or $100 to gain interest for her? I'd kind of like to be able to add to it every year, so that when she grows up she'll have some money to get started with. Any ideas??

Does anyone know of any other baby formula that is a little less expensive than Nutramigen? I realize this works very well but am just curious.

She seems to always fight sleep and continuosly wants to be held by her mother. When she seems tired and placed in her crib, she will cry even louder. Can she be spoiled this young?

My 8 month old kid is too attached to his mom.
He cannot stay without her for more than 10 minutes.
Especially when he gets up from sleep, he is just desparate to see his mom if she is not seen for a few seconds he starts crying like anything until he sees her. Is it normal or should i consult a doc?

My daughter is 10 weeks and she had a cough and stuffy/runny nose, the doctor said she may have dairy allergies, so i cut back my dairy intake, due to breastfeeding. Well she seemed to get better but i recently started her on formula (milk based) and she seems to be getting "sick" again. These are her only symptoms, no rash or diahreha or fussiness. I also have a 15 month old who has had a cold off and on for the past couple of months. Could my 10 week old be allergic to dairy or did she just catch a cold from her sister ? I just don't know whether it's nessacary to switch her to a soy based formula, or if I give her soy will I be able to tell if it helped? Or is this just a cold? I plan on calling her doctor after the holiday but I don't know what to do in the mean time? Thanks

I just recently had a 4D ultrasound done. They sent the results back to my regular doctor. When my doctor discovered that the baby is still breech at almost 36 weeks she ordered another ultrasound and had it set up for next week (week 36). I was told that if he is still breech I may end up getting a external cephalic version done to try to move the baby manually. Are there any kind of exercises I can do at home between now and then to try to move him on my own?

Okay... I have some time before baby comes in april but wanted to see what you thought of this carseat. This is my fourth child, and my old infant carrier is pretty outdated. I was doing research and I think I have found one... but also wanted to see if any of you have it or know someone who does... how they liked it and how well it fits in vehicles ect.... I am looking at the Graco SafeSeat... The one that will accomodate an infant to 30 lbs and 32 inches tall. My biggest problem is that I have VERY large long babies... and they tend to be out of a traditional carrier before they are 3 months old! (my smallest was 7lbs9oz and 23in at birth... two weeks early!!!) Does anyone have experience with this particular carseat and would you recommend it?? why and why not? Thank you!

I am 23 years old and a new mother. My father is dictating when I should or should not bring my 5 month old baby outside, when and what I should feed her at each specific stage, etc. I am an educated person with a bachelor's degree, I have read several "Baby's First Year" books from cover to cover, and I believe that I am credible enough to make my own decisions about being a mother. Of course I go by the book on most things, but instincts on others.
Delimma: I was outside today with my 5 month old (it's 60 degrees out today--comfortable if bundled up), and let her swing for her first time today. I took pictures of her smiling while on the swing and sent the pictures to my dad. He sent a phone text back saying, "Too young! Bring her back inside!"
My dad is constantly making comments like this. I wish I had some tasteful response to give to him when he says things like this.
Any suggestions on tasteful responses? Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
