My son is 9 1/2 months, and wakes almost hourly or two. He does not eat when I go in until 3:30-4:30. I have to either rock, or sway him (and he is a big boy, 24lb) back to sleep.I took him to urgent care yesterday,everything fine but teething. I give him motrin nothing seems to help him at night.I have tried cry it Ferber stule,about 5 times in 4months. Each time he projectile vomits he is so worked up after 10-15 minutes of crying. I feel horrible & rock him. I have heard to clean him up and put him back down, I did that the other night and he threw up again. I feel terrible. He is happy during the day. How do I teach him to get to sleep on his own when he vomits after crying in his crib. I have even sat on his floor in his room and moving closer to the door. He again projectile vomits 2-3 times in a row from crying.

Please any adivce is welcomed,thanks in advance

If one is not with the father of the unborn child, but he still talks about being there, would it be wrong to not give the baby his last name? Shouldn't it be a privilage for someone to carry your name?

How old did your child start showing signs of teething? How long after they showed the signs did you see the white?

How much did your newborn weigh at birth? How much does he/she weigh now? How old is he/she?

My son was 9.4 lbs at birth, and weighs 13 lbs now. 24 inches. 3 months old.

I know a couple who have a five week old baby. This poor little thing pants like a dog and can't seem to calm down. He shakes every once in awhile and his parents feed him four bottles in an hour (COLD BOTTLES!!) and aren't adequetly keeping him warm. The baby is fussy and might be cholic but the parents just stick a bottle in his mouth and think that will solve it. Is there any serious health problems that can occur to this baby? I know I need to say something to them but they are very independent and stubborn, selfish people. How can I make them realize that their baby is suffering?

Have four month old baby and she is not sleeping through night. I have called my dr, but this is making me worried. She sleeps good all day, and only takes a couple of naps during the day. She sleeps for about four hours and is up for the rest of the morning, from 1-5. Some say she is going through a growth sprut, others say acid reflux. Anyone have this problem????

My son will be 5 months on the 11th and I have been trying to introduce solids for about the last 3 wks but I am having a hard time finding something that he likes. He is not very big on baby food or cereal at all, just spits it at me but putting regular food in the blender isn't working either. I have noticed that if mommy is eating something then he wants to try it. any helpful suggestions on what to do next? he is a healthy boy, weighs almost 19lbs so he isn't sleeping thru the night because formula just doesn't hold him over night

Someone I suggested I do this..just a LITTLE bit...in order for my daughter to like the taste. Would there be a reason why I shouldn't do this? She's 4 months old.

My husband and I have gone back and forth with this issue for sometime. I finally let my husband make the decision of not circumcising our son because he's a man and understands these things better than me.

I feel good about the decision because my husband is not circumcised and I want our son to feel he is like his father and totally normal. After doing some research, it is actually frowned upon by many countries. It's a huge money making racquet in the USA and I think more people are opting not to have the procedure.

The only dumb comment I've heard is...he'll be different from the other little boys in his gym class. I asked my husband this and he told me that growing up there were only two boys in his gym class that WERE circumcised. All there rest weren't. So I think this is a stereotype that the medical industry has tried to push on the public for years. It's a huge money maker every year. To get our son circumcised it costs $200. OMG! What do you think?

When we try to use a bottle to feed him, he only plays with it but don't ever suck on it. We tried to wait until he's really hungry to see if then he would suck on a bottle but failed. Anyone's got good ideas on this matter?

My daughter seems super-human....she pushes our rocking chair completely across the room, and if she is standing on the ground, she can grab a table (above her head), and pull herself so that her nose is at the table level, and her feet are dangling 2 inches off the ground....and STAY that way for about a minute!

We bought her a "walker"....a lawnmower-looking toy that she can push around and learn to walk...she picks it up and tosses it!
She weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches tall, right in the middle as far as percentiles.

Is this pretty normal?

i was reading this thing on babycentre.com about a 4weeks development and it said never rock your baby asleep that they need to learn on how to fall asleep on their own. the problem is that my mother-in-law rock him all the time and I'm afraid to tell her that i don't want her to because she may get mad and not listen to me.
when my 2 1/2yr old was younger he would fall asleep on his own up until he was 5-6 months old, she rocked him all the time and he would think that he would get it every night, and i had to cuz that would be the only way he would fall asleep. he still has problems falling asleep on his own, he yells everytime i put him for for a nap or for the night. but i let him cry, he 2 1/2yrs old and needs to fall asleep on his own. so i do i tell her that i don't want her rocking my 4 week old, that he needs to learn to fall asleep on his own???help me please. i dont wanna have to do the same thing for this son like i had to with my first.

My 9 week old son has suddenly started snorting since yesterday, both when he is asleep as well as when he is awake. It appears like he has some amount of difficulty in breathing. His voice hasn't changed, so we know it's not sore throat, or something else to do with the throat. Would you know what this could be? Does this sound similar to something you experienced with your kid? What did you do for your kid when this happened to him/her?

my 7.5 month old daughter has dry spots on her head. we thought it was cradle cap at first, but its getting Bad. i took her 2 the doctor, and they tested for yeast/fungal infection, but both were negitive. He wants to treat her for Ringworm, however, i dont think its ringworm. Since ringworm is a fungus, i thought doing the fungus screening would rule it out. also it is not in rings its in shape-less patches.the entire area is very dry and flaky, and it seems to itch pretty badly. my daughter tries to itch and scratches herself making bloodly spots. she will rub her head on things.

when i looked up ringworm it said it usually is bad around the edges then it gets better in the middle. it is the oppisite with my daughter, the edges are just starting to get flaky and the middle looks really bad.
there is no puss or oozing from the spots, and i can comb her hair and the flakes come off and it turns into red patches. however it is back to the same in the morn.
