I am due in April. The baby's father doesn't want anything to do with the baby. I wanted to give the baby my maiden name since I was married but didn't change my last name back. Now that I have this baby coming I really don't want to give it my ex-husbands last name. Can I give it my maiden name, even though that is not my name any more??

People talk about this, i am breastfeeding and don't think i ever felt this. Does it mean i am not producing enough milk, after all my daughter does seem to be hungry every hour or two.

I have a 16 month old preemie; however, she's growing/catching up just fine. She's curretnly 31" and 23 pounds. After her breakfast, we take a bath and then play forabout an hour. Then, she shows signs of fatigue so I put her in her crib. Sometimes she will fall asleep, others she will play and babble for about 2 h ours! If it goes on that long and she doesn't fall asleep it's usualy because she had a BM and needs to be changed. Then, she wiill

I didnt plan for the second baby but I am really worried I wont love this new baby as much as my first baby. How can I provide them with the same love when they are both so young and still babies and need their needs met?

I have had to cut down to no breastfeeding for the last week because of antibiotics. The doctor approved me breastfeeding..however within an hour each time I nursed, my son was yelling and crying and acting gassy. The doctor said it may be his reaction to the antibiotics. Well, in just a few short days my milk has gone down to a few drips..I am worried that I have lost the supply! Any suggestions?

My mom will feel my belly and say that my daughter has the hiccups, but it really doesn't feel that different to me then the regular punches, kicks and turns. She is a very active little girl! So how do I know if she is having hiccups?

MY daughter has a rash of some kind. she is 14 months. Doctor first gave a anti-fungal over the phone. Didn't go away. Then he saw her and said it was a reaction to acid such as from apple juice ( which she doesn't drink) but does have a lot of citric acid in her foods I've noticed. so he prescribed a anti-inflamatory, and an acid reducer both in cream form. we did that exactly as directed.
still no success. we went back, and he gave a different anti-fungal.
nothing is working so far. we air her bottom out as often as possible.

The rash looks like bumps that are raised, almost like a bad acne problem. it is around the anus a lot, and the texture can be felt through a wipe.

I am thinking possibly a food alergy of some kind, so we are limiting her to just formula, and baby jar foods.

she is lactose intolerant, and is on soy formula ( and has been for some time)

any other ideas?

My children took at least 2 naps during the day. I know all babies are different, but for such a young baby, this seems odd. He usually sleeps 3 to 4 hours at a stretch at night, which seems normal.

I've had some trouble going to sleep and staying asleep and waking up and staying awake. Sometimes my dad has to drag me out of my bed just to get me up.

Also please don't say anything like "take this medicine" or "go to sleep earlier"

I'm 13 years old if that helps

Yes, I was ranting, I know. I'm sorry.
Iam angry at the attitude of people, not people who tried this and that and it just didn't work, or who haqd premature babies, because although with a huge amount of support they could have overcome their problems. at least they tried.
I am angry with the people who say 'My mum breastfed all 10 of her kids and they are just fine, so I'm not going to bother' or worst of all 'We are not cows'. That one really annoys me, like cows are the only animal that produces milk.
Ah, now I've started ranting again. ANyway, sorry for offending people, I do realise that the way you feed your baby is a choice that only you can make and it is totally up to you. But I do think everyone who can should try breastfeeding at least for a while, it is such an amazing experience
