Newborn & Baby - December 2006

ok, we all know how babies are made and the rights and responsibilities that come with making one but many people believe that there are way to increase your chances of having either a boy or a girl by taking specific vitamines, eating, and by the way you sleep and genetics obviously. SO TO ALL THE LADIES OUT THERE CAN YOU GIVE ANY ADVICE ON HOW I COULD GET A SON? GENETICALLY I HAVE 8 UNCLES AND MY MOTHER SO WELL..... ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP .

my son is 3 months old. he has cradle cap. i've done my research and from what i've read, just use regular j&j and take a soft srub to the scalp and leave in for about 5 minutes. they say to do this with a shampoo everyday, and within a week i should notice a difference. the only problem is, it helps for a few hours, and then the bumps and flakes come right back. it WON'T go away! what should i do?!?! ALSO, my son has VERY dry BUMPY skin all over his body. and its esspecially bad on his face, very red and dry and bumpy. it is NOT baby acne. but everyone i talk to says a dermotoligist would blow it off, i hear it'll just "go away". (even the pediatrician blew it off!) its seems like its just getting worse. but it looks bad and seems like it would be very irritating. i've tried lotions, then i stopped lotions all together. i've tried neosporon, j&j wash, aveeno wash. i dont know what else to do???

I'm a young and single mother, I work a full time job with women from their 40's all the way up to 70 years old. Im the youngest in my office. My baby weighed 9lbs and 3oz. when he was born. I have breastfed my baby since the day that he was born, and now 2 1/2 months later I am stilll breastfeeding my baby and I pump during work. Needless to say none of the women breastfed for as long as I have (which is not very long), and some never even attempted it. He is strictly breastfed I do not give him any formula. He is a healthy 15 lbs. the size of most 6 month olds. My co-workers constantly tell me to give him rice cereal, I'm not really sure why, he's not under weight, and his doctor says not to give it to him until 4 months. Along with other unwanted advice this is the one comment I hear on a regular every day basis that I dont want or need. What can I say to get them off of my back that won't offend them all?

Okay so I know that babies dont breathe in the womb as their surrounded by the waters, but when the waters break and the baby comes out how does it breathe on the way out? Ive heard that nurses/doctors do something to start it breathing so I guess I have answered my own question really but Im still confused, how is the baby alive but not breathing and how long could it last like that?

im woundering y do people get so mad and grossed out at breast feeding evertime i hear of some saying that nasty or they should be arrested for nursing in publick it gets me so mad it makes no sence to me i understand that wouman that breast feed in public should cover up i do agree with this not all the time people like to see breast popping out but if a wouman is doing it under a blanket or watever i see no reason y a woman cant nurse her baby were ever she need to coming from a woman who has nurse both of her children it is so unfair how people could be so crule i also think that poeple who say that mothers should pump it is also unrealistic becouse yes some woman can pump with no problem but there are others that had lots of problems with it i tryed to pump with my first born and it just dident work so wat is a woman suppose to just not nurse her child and give them formular wene nursing is so much more healther and natural just to make other people feel better i just dont get it..

I'm buying a gift for a newborn, and found a really cute onesie that has long sleeves. Figured I should get the 6 months size to be safe, but in 6 months it will be spring/summer... Would a baby in New York need a longsleeve onesie that time of year?

My daughter is nine months old and she is trying to cut her first tooth (bottom ride side). I know that it has been painful for her. I asked her doctor and he told me that I can give her infant Tylenol to help relieve the pain if she is fussing a lot or not sleeping well at bedtime or when needed. But he recommended that I shouldn't give her more than one dose per day and that makes sense because she is still little and I don't like to medicate her unless it is an emergency. But I forgot to ask how much I should give her? She is 23 lbs and 9 months old. On the package it says for 24 lbs and up give 0.8 mL on the dropper (it looks like it is equivalent to half the amount of the tube). I wanted to give it to her last night but didn't know for sure if I should give her 0.4 or 0.8 so I didn't give her anything and now both of us are tired from waking up over and over all night. Advice?

My wife want s a girl, and she says that a swahili name is appropriate in her culture. I am not very happy with her suggestion for a girl: Kajana Dupree Eisenberg. Kajana supposedly means "river jumper".

It's fairly conclusive now just how important breast feeding is. Apparently, after smoking, not breast feeding a baby is one of the worst things you can do for your child. So, why do so many women decide against it and would sooner give their babies a formular milk? Is it for reasons of vanity and should they be having babies?
