Newborn & Baby - January 2007

Yesterday my 3 month old baby's head looked normal. Today i noticed that his soft spot area is significantly pressed in. Does anyone know what could have caused this?

I have a 3 month old daughter, she sleeps great when Im holding her or sleeping next to her. My husband is in the military and its home as often as I would like, so nothing in the house gets done. At 8 I get her ready for bed, bath and some play time then lights out in the family bed where she eats then falls asleep. She usually only wakes up once a night then at 8 or 9 in the morning. But at night if I get up, she wakes up screaming. I cannot leave her when she is sleeping, or she will take a 15 minute nap. I have tried a few times to put her in a crib in her own bed. I feed her, rock her until she is asleep then I put her in her crib, moments later she is awake and screaming. I go in 5 mins, put in her paci, then 10 mins later hten 15... we do this for 2 hours until she is finally asleep... for her to take a 15 min nap... she is up again, we do the whole process again for only 15 more minutes of sleep... Im exausted and not sure what to do... is it too early to try to move her? HELP!

My son is 4.5 months old and has been on breastmilk only. I tryed giving him formula few times - once at the mall (it's easier), once when I tought he was still hungry because I did not have enough milk, but he does not want it AT ALL! I tried then few more times when he was really hungry - nothing!
I tryed mixing it with breast milk, again no success...
He is getting bigger and my milk alone wont be enough probably soon.
How can I make him start drinking Formula once in a while?
Thank you.

When she has already ate and has been changed and I have played with her and sing to her, then when I lay her down she begins to cry and if I leave out of the room where she is at, she starts to cry. When I am around her she is fine though. What is wrong, why does she do this, Does she want me to hold her all the time. By her doing this it is kind of impossible to get anything done unless she is alsleep. Any thoughts or advice. Thanks

I have a good friend who has a beautiful 2 year old daughter. The kid's father is kind of a "whack-job" and the mom is now worried for the safety of the child.

She does not have a lot of money and is looking for some free legal advice ... below is her e-mail to me ...

"Hey Neil can you help me find out more about free legal advice regarding ***** (Child's name ) not being able to see ***** ( father's name ) anymore??? He has lost his mind and I dont want my daughter around him anymore. Do you know of any good attorneys that might not charge too much (I know your thinking - yeah right), but anything would help."

Thank you in advance to all you Yahooligans with valuable advice.

My daughter is 7 weeks old and I am a stay at home mom. When my husband comes home from work he has a whole agenda that doesnt involve helping me or spendng time with the baby. Asking him to do anything is like pulling teeth. He is in bed by 8:00 and I am up ALL night with the baby. If I need a midnight break and ask him to take her for a few minutes he gets angry and starts telling the baby to shut up and stuff. He also likes to tell me how this is my job(the baby) and his job is harder thanh mine. How do I get through to him? Keep in mind that he has a serious anger problem and confronting him about anything turns into a fight. Please help!

I have been breast feeding my child and occasionally giving her the bottle. She never cared who was giving her the bottle. I didn't give her a bottle for a few weeks and now she won't drink from one! I am trying to get on her formula and i thought it was the taste of the formula that was making her not take the bottle, when i tried to give her my breast milk in a bottle she wouldn't take that either!!!! What do i do? She will not drink from the bottle when my husband tries to give it to her either.

My baby is 10 months old and likes to eat. However, sometimes after I introduce a new food, he throws up. He doesn't do it immediately...is after a few bites that he starts gagging and then the vomit comes. Is this normal?

I was out at the mall today, pushing my 5 month in the stroller, when a lady come up and started talking to her, then pulled her soother out of her mouth. I was shocked, couldn't believe it, my daugther started crying. I looked at the lady and gave her a dirty look and told her that was very rude of her to do that, and not to just assume she can touch peoples babies. I mean there are so many germs, and who knows what she touched last with her hand, and shes touching my daughters soother, something that goes in her mouth. I was so mad, I started to walk away, and she said "I have never met anyone so rude before", I just kept walking, but wasn't I in the right to tell her not to touch my daugther?

Or the people that have used such methods are "lazy"/"mean"/etc.? When my daughter was developmentally ready (at four months, this varies for different babies), and she had demonstrated that she COULD go to sleep on her own but WOULDN'T because she relied on sleep crutches, we decided to try Dr. Ferber's method. It wasn't half as bad as the pregnancy forums made it out to be. On the contrary it involves a lot of work from the parents. You don't just leave the baby "to cry it out all alone/in despair/etc.". To work, you have to set up a consistent calming routine, be it story/bath/feed, and THEN you put them into the crib drowsy, yet awake. Of course the baby will fuss/cry, and you do intervene, but eventually the baby learns how to close their eyes and fall asleep. It makes parents become aware of their babies cries and learn how to decipher which is protesting, pain, etc. my seven month old falls asleep on her own, and throughout the night, even travelling and rarely cries now

my daughter will be one in a month and I was thinking it might be time to switch her to **** milk now, my doctor told me when she was a year old. So I was just curious to know how old your children were when you switched them. thanks

Would you buy a hand crochetted carrier/sling or do you think it would be unsafe? What about if it had straps to keep the kid in?

I live in the "great white north" aka Canada, and its pretty cold here these days. My son is almost a year old. My husband thinks the baby should be wearing a scarf. I'm leaning against it since I've read it can be a hazard.

Any advice?
