Newborn & Baby - December 2006

This is not so much a question as it is a request for other parents to share their experience on the tongue tied issue.

The first time I heard of it was moments after the birth of my son. Turns out my father-in-law had one too but his was cut soon after birth. The pediatrician, the lactic aid nurse and my GP all felt that our son's tongue tie wasn't severe enough to cut despite our concern.

After 3 months of ongoing problems nursing, our GP sent us to a Toronto doctor specializing in breast feeding. It was his opinion to cut the tongue tie - no matter how slight as it may hinder speech, eating and teeth cleaning. He did the procedure on the spot with a scalpel and no anesthetic. A moment on the breast and no blood or crying.

If I knew it was so simple I would have done it sooner --- maybe I would have stood a chance with the whole nursing thing.

What has your experience been?

I don't know where to start. When I got pregnant with my first son I weighed 120 went up to 156 18months later I was 142 then I got pregnant with my second son and in my first 3 months went down to 130 I was 156 when I had him and now I am 146. I don't really mind the pounds as much as my (Momma Flab). My goal is 130 but I really want a flat tummy. HELP!!!

I've noticed some of you said that babies have rosy cheeks when they are teething... Was this true for your little one? I didn't know this but have noticed that my son's cheeks have been rosy here lately and hes been "chewing" on his thumb. He really isn't cranky though. Teething maybe? He is 6 months old.

My son who has mastered rolling over, crawling, standing and being swquirmy, therefore absolutely HATES being on the change table for a diaper change. I can sometimes distract him with a toy or something, but that doesn't always work... Do any of you mom's have any other tips ? It's so frustrating when he's trying to roll over all the time, and I can't get the darn thing on properly. (He's 10 months).

I've chose Mason Elliot for my baby boy, soon to be here. He's due on Christmas day, and if he comes on a Christmas related day, it will be Mason Elliot Joseph or Mason Joseph Elliot. All sound nice with the surname. What do you think?

My baby is now almost 3 months old (Saturday). Since we brought her home from the hospital she only has gotten up once. The last couple of nights she is getting up at 1200 and 400. She is eating 3 ounces each time. So I think she is hungry. I feel like we are going backwards on the sleeping through the night.

My 5 week old son sounds as if he is congested when he starts moving around when he is trying to wake up or stretching. I can not tell if it is in his sinuses or throat. The doctor said his nose was clear but I hear something. He clears his throat alot and the doctor said she believes he as reflux(EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT SPIT UP OR THROW UP) and has order an Upper GI. Does anyone have any suggestions..... Also this morning when I changed him he had a hint of blood in his diaper where the head of the penis lays. I have noticed that it is slighty red every now and then at the tip of it but not enough to make me take him to the doctor.

My daughter is 11 weeks old and usually only wakes once for a feed. She is breastfed. My sister said that she should no longer need a feed during the night and is being greedy. She sleeps in our room at the moment but will be going into her room at Christmas. Any tips? Is she waking because she needs to and will she grow out of it?
