Newborn & Baby - January 2007

I'm confused about infant carseats.
The rear facing carseat that came with my travel system will hold an infant up to 22 lbs. According to what I've read online, children generally reach this weight between 18 mo and 24 mo.
It seems like the kid would be a bit big for those carriers. And aren't kids somewhat mobile by then?
How long did your kid stay in one of those carrier-car seats before you switched it out for a regular one (with the forward facing option)?
Are the carrier style car seats even worth it?

i see it time after time. here is one: the question was what do you get from breeding a white girl with a very dark afro american? the "best answer" chosen was: Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Depends totally on the shades of mommy and daddy. But most a pretty caramel color. The color you only see on Victoria Secrets models that takes hours to apply and perfect.

It is possible but i frequently see something else. Everything from dark black, a strange mottled look with red hair?, and some practically white in skin color but never just white. Some mayh be a tan color but some are pinto, like horses. dogs and cats are like that. a pretty caramel color? dream on jose. you never know tell it hits the gurney in the delivery room. Why do they desire such a thing as that. why distroy a culture and a breed? everhy heard o the mix of lios and tigers? look like crap. they are beautiful then the are ligers, i think the call them. Only Dr Frankenstein would praise this. Nihilism and payback.

my son is now 6 months and half.He sleeps every night at 11:30 I couldn´t make him sleep earlier.He wakes up at 2 and then at 5 but this isn´t regular.Sometimes he wakes up every hour.I tried to let him cry longer but I couldn´t bare this.I pick him up and rock him till he falls asleep.I used to nurse him everytime he wakes up but I stopped doing this.I use a pacifier and I breastfeed him only when I feel that he is hungry.please help me because I haven´t slept the whole night since delivery.By the way my apartment is small so his bed is in my bedroom.

I can't figure out what to do what to do when my 3 month old grandson cries and seems to always be hungry. Is he old enough for rice cereal? Apple juice? How do I keep him from fighting his sleep?

Your help would be appreciated.

He does it when he gives kisses so I can't get him in trouble. I don't want him to think I am getting him in trouble for the kisses.

My left breast isn't producing a lot of milk compared to my right. Could it be my milk duct? How do you know?

I love my son, he is my 1st at the age of 29: it's so exciting to see him go through the changes so fast. I can't believe that it's two months already(how times fly) and he laughing, grabbing, talks to me, and it's amazing that I know what type of personality he have. My baby is my lil angle and Prince, somtimes my fiance gets alittle sad because i'm so focused on my son Caleb, and I noticed that I don't even give my self the attention that I need. I used to keep myself up, like get my hair done, manicure and pedicure shopping for shoes and clothes (my favorite store is JCPenney and Old Navy), it's to the point where I'm struggling to fit my size 4/5 size clothes. I start work next week and no nice work clothes to wear, that's because i lost focus and waited to late to go shpping.

My son is 12 weeks old. About a week ago we were both sick, me more then him. Its been a week and I am all most completely better and he still has a cough and is sneezing with a stuffy nose (when he breaths you can hear the stuffiness)and is fussy all day long.

I have a very good natured five month old. I left him with my sister for half an hour today while I took our mom shopping, and when I came back he was screaming blue murder... absolutely hysterical and inconsolable. He screamed for almost two hours after I left with him. I couldn't find anything physically wrong - and I hate to suspect my sister - but I think she did something to make him cry like that.

Obviously I won't leave him with her again, but I wondered what a person could do to a baby to upset him that much with no physical signs! My sister is a bit of a ***** and I wouldn't put it past her to hurt my boy. I feel just terrible. He is better now but it was so unlike him... my husband feels the same way.

Input appreciated. THanks all.

My daughter is 3 weeks old tomorrow. I'm breast feeding her but since my older daughter was bottle feed cause the doctor said she wasn't getting enough milk although she was gaining weight. Anyway I have been petrified my new baby isn't getting enough milk. She is gaining weight I think I know her checks look fatter and at her one week check up she had gained her birth weight back. She does have about 6 wet diapers a day and anywhere from 2-4 poopy diapers a day. My nipples are a little tender though so today for the last two feedings I have been feeding her previously pumped milk in a bottle and I have been pumping every hour and a half and only producing about an ounce from each breast. So I'm not sure that is enough but I plan on doing this for another day or so to increase my milk supply does that make sense or is there something else I should be doing.

Can you say that your child will be tall when he/she gets older just because they are long as a baby? Has anyone here had a longer than average baby who grew up to be average height? Im just curious if my daughter will be model tall.Her doctor said she is in the 90th percentile for her legnth... Thanx in advanced
