I have a newborn thats 9 days old. She is having problems going to the bathroom. Her stool is very hard and won't come out without her straining and then she screams the whole time she is trying to go. When she goes it is only like a little pellet! Does anyone have any suggestions??????

My daughter has been having a runny nose, and a slight fever. I'm not sure if she is sick or she is just teething. Because I've been told the when they get there i teeth they can have fevers and a runny nose. She has had it for the past couple of days. Any suggestions.

She fell off our bed when I turned around. I called the pediatrician and she told me that it is not dangerous unless she went unconcious or if she convulsioned. My baby just cried very loud and yelled for a while. Needless to say, I was crying for how terrible I felt and how worried I was. After a little while she seemed much better. The Dr. told us to press against her forehead with our hand for 10 minutes and then for 20 minutes put ice. And then for another little while put honey on. We already did these things. She seems to be doing better. I would like to know if this has happened to any other parents and how they started to feel ok about everything. I feel so terrible and I still feel worried. Thanks for your input. Any suggestions are welcome.

My wife is weaning our daughter off of breast milk and has very engorged and painfull breast. She was told not to pump or it will only prolong the process of reducing milk supply. Will this cabbage thing work? Or what else can she do to help herself.

I used it 4 years ago with my first son and preferred it to Johnsons, I am pregnant and want to use it with my new baby as well, the problem is, I can't find it anywhere, Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens nor BabysRUs carries it. Does anyone use it and like it or was there some kind of recall that I don't know about? Just wondering why it's not out there...

OK -- maybe this has nothing to do with being pregnant, but I woke up in the middle of the night coughing and chocking. It felt like fluid was filling my chest and I couldn't stop. I had to sit up and drink water.

I am probably just coming down with a cold, but something like this has never happened to me before. Could it have something to do with my sleep position? I was sleeping on my right side.

He's one month old and i still have blisters and soreness. I try very hard to get good latch, but when he nurses, he flattens the nipple like it is clamped in a vice. and then the tip gets WHITE and blisters. I want to cry and scream, I've been taking ibuprofen almost daily since a week after he was born. I drink a small (4 oz) bit of wine sometimes, to help with the pain. I have been to the only lactation consultant in my area, she helped me get started breastfeeding but made some BAD decisions for me that make me not trust her to help me now. I have also tried La Leche League but the leader advised me to see a lactation consultant... or get medella shields, something I'm not wanting to do because fo the risk for milk decrease/baby not getting enought etc. also because he is a poor gainer.
Also when he nurses, he usually goes suck suck suck swallow at the beginning, only for like five minutes tops, then goes suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck.... slwallow.

That's stupid to spend that much money for a chair, especialy an infant seat.
I heard moms talking about training their babys to sit with them. That is silly to me. I taught my daughter to stand at 4 months and by 8 months she was walking.
Do people really love those silly chairs so their baby can sit?
Don't mean to sound b*tchy, don't be mean!

My husband and I are going on our 4th baby. I'm due June 17th. I have 7, 3, and 2 year old. I have NEVER had Morning Sickness near this bad!! OMG my Breast are SOOO tender, WORSE than any of my pregnancies. I never had cravings until this pregnancy. Has anyone had the same problems on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th pregnancy?? My Dr. just put me on Reglan to help with nausea. Cause its hit me hard around 2am - 10am everyday. I have lost 15 lbs during this early pregnancy. I'm kinda scared it's going to hurt the baby. But, it's something I can't help. Give me some ideas or your experiences to help me figure out why I'm going through this now and never did before. It definitely leaves me in ????.
Thanx, Kendra

I was wondering what it could be. I know that she isn't cold? I am still taking some pain meds from my operation, could that be it?

I don't usually deal with babies too well but I am going to a New Year's party out of state. I can't bring the baby with me because he will get stolen or eaten by something. I was thinking about getting a bunch of giant animals to guard and nurture him until I get back. Would it be possible to loop a leash from my rottweiler to the baby to make sure he doesn't get lost? I will leave more than enough baby food and dog food out for them both and I think it will be a good for my dog to learn responsibility. Any thoughts?

I am breastfeeding my one month old baby. i have been vegan since before i was pregnant however since he was born his weight gain has been slow. I did some research and found out about b12 deficiency causing slow weight gain. I am wondering if any VEGAN moms have had this problem, and if taking a daily b12 supplement corrected the problem, if so, how long did it take??

I am not going to change my eating habits unless his pediatrician recommends it. Please don't waste your time telling me to eat animal products. Thanks for your consideration.
