Newborn & Baby - January 2007

I posted last night on strep rash, if should try an ointment besides the antibiotics (tested + yesterday). Waiting on a call back now from my doctors office, did you use one?

I found this one by tommee tippee:
http://www.tommeetippee.co.uk/shop/products/toothy-peg-teether-back-teeth.html

But I am looking for this or something similar from a US or Canadian retailer.

Please suggest links or products designed specifically to reach the back teeth for a baby cutting his molars. Even his teething beads are too bulky for him to fit comfortably near his molars.

Thanks!

I will water down regular (Motts, etc) apple juice when giving it to my 6 month old, but does Gerber need to be also? I would think baby juice would have lower acidity but did not want to risk my baby getting diarreah. Thanks.

My almost 2 year old son has a diaper rash on his bottom. It has been there for 2 weeks now, he has been to the doctor twice & yesterday was given a higher dosage of steroid cream as well as antifungal cream. I am trying to put a end to this rash he seems very uncomfrtable & so far this is what I am doing in addition to the creams... oatmeal baths (2x per day), underware during the day, 4 diaper changes at night. His doctor says if it is not gone in another week she will try something stronger, but I would LOVE some advice to help my little guy beat this rash long before that, Thanks for any help!

Anyone heard of using goat milk instead of formula? Why some doctors like that idea, and some don't? Goat milk is safe to give to baby before a year old bcz it doesn't have lactose at all, its a different type of milk. Anyone willing to share stories of what they heard/experienced about goat milk?

I have been breast feeding my child, she is 5 months old. She had an issue with reflux and gas so in order to avoid giving her medication i didn't give her formula for sometime because i was told that breast milk was easier to digest. I have introduced formula to her. The last formula i gave her was prosobee but she ended up throwing up from it, but she didn't mind the taste she actually drank the formula without any problems. My dr. suggested nutramagen i have been trying to give this to her but she hardly will drink an ounce. Granted i have only tried for 2 days. I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice on how to slowly transition her to formula. I have no problem being patient with the process but i feel bad because she really doesn't like the taste and i feel bad making her take something she doesn't like. It does taste and smell HORRIBLE. I wanted to started giving her one feed a day and then slowly increase the number of feeds. Any suggestions would be VERY helpfu

My son has been doing this for about 3 months now, every time we change his diaper or give a bath he wants to play with them. In bath we use swim shorts up until it's time to clean him down there. However he is so rough that we can't allow him to tug, pull, and grab at them for too long, since he sometimes acutally scrathes his genitals. We have tried powders, cremes, lotions, etc. Could it be that he has ezcema? I have asked that doctor and he says that it is normal and to keep his nails short, which I do but no matter how short they are, they are still sharp enough for him to scratch them. And we want him to be able to explore his body, but not hurt himself in the process. Please help....

This will be my first baby and I work a fulltime job remotely from my home. Should I need to take time off from work after I give birth? If so, how much seems right to ask for?

(This is in response to the question: Why do working mothers despise stay at home mothers?)

I respect the choice of stay-at-home mothers to stay at home; why do many of them reject my choice to work?

My daughter goes to a good day care which she enjoys attending. The daycare is on-campus, so I can usually pop by and see her during lunch. I took as much maternity leave as I could (3 months), and worked only part-time for an additional 4 months. I breast feed, I pump, I co-sleep, and I feel like I am providing excellent care for her (she's 7 months old now).

I enjoy my job. Yes, I have the financial need to work, but I also need the intellectual stimulation that my job provides.

Yet so many people think I should feel bad about working, or assume that I am not providing the best possible care for my baby. When did it become acceptable to work, but unacceptable to not feel bad about it?

My son has GERD, so a full bottle to him is 5 oz instead of 8 oz. But it's not just formula, it has rice cereal mixed in with it. I know most of the answers I will get will be for a "normal" baby. I'm just trying to get a general idea.

So, with eating three meals a day, how much formula should a nine month old still get?

I need to pump my milk and ‘am currently renting the Ameda Lact-E which works great. I want to buy a pump instead of renting one and don’t know whether to buy the Lact-E or the Purely Yours pump. What is important for me is the effectiveness of the pump. My dilemma is that one is bulky and heavy, whereas the other one looks more convenient and easy to carry. Does any one have any experience with both pumps? Which one is better? Does Purely Yours work as well as Lact-E?
Thank you for your help in advance
