Newborn & Baby - January 2007

I have been getting the Goodstart with DHA and ARA for 6 months now- ever since I stopped nursing. It is the worst ever for clumping- no matter how I mix it (spoon, shaking- all but pouring it in a blender) and no matter how long, my girl is screaming after a few swallows because a clump is clogging the nipple. The last time, I bought the same but not the DHA/ARA (the store was out- big sale) and it doesn't clump at all. What do you think?

How do you spend your day with your infant? What things can I do to get on a routine? Eating, napping, sleeping all seems to happen randomly. What's your routine? (Also, My son is breastfed, and seems to only go to sleep if I breastfeed. How can he learn to self soothe and go to sleep without needing to nurse to sleep?)

When I put Annika down, I've fed her, changed her, and played with her for around 2 hours. She starts to yawn, and shows other signs of being sleepy. So she gets wrapped up, has the dummy and will happily sleep for the next 20 minutes. After that, she wakes up, and just does not want to go back to sleep! I've tried resettling her, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

My baby is now 6 mths old. She hates new people. And she never warms up to anybody new. She has been like this since she was 3 months old. WHY?? It is so hard taking her to anybody's house. She is fine outside, in a store. But in someone's house, she will just start screaming. Doctor's say that babies should have stranger anxiety until 6 mths or later, but mine started at 3 mths. Is this normal? What can I do to ease her. As soon as she sees a new face she will scream. Sometimes I dread taking her to other people's houses. I hate having to make excuses, like she is tired or hungry. It just makes me feel bad. She screams with my mother in law because she hardly sees her..so my MIL says my baby must hate her, but it can't be. WHAT SHOULD I DO??? People say it will eventually get better, but when, how long will this last?

I have been expressing exclusively for my 2 week old and up until now been fine (getting 6-8fl oz each time I pump) but now my right hand boob has developed really red skin and I have a cold face cloth on it under my bra. Its really tender. Any ideas? Been taking paracetamol and expressed enough to relieve it but its not going away. Been like this for last 6 hours or so. Do I have an infection? Mastisis?

I will start to give my 6 month old apple juice next week, but was not sure if I need to buy a specific bottle for juice. Can I use the same bottles (Avent & Dr. Browns) I have been using to feed him his formula? Or do I need buy a specific type of 'juice' bottle? First time mom here so any help is appreciated.

I am currently breastfeeding my 2 month old, but what happens in time of an emergency and I am out and about, but cannot nurse him? I have a few brands of formula at home that were sent free in the mail, but I don't know what to use. I, myself have very bad allergies and an allergy to milk products. I think he may be getting some of my allergies. Should I just automatically use soy or hypoallergenic based or just use a regular formula?

I have no interest in sex, literally none. I have 3 kids ranging in age from 11mos to 5 years. Sex feels like another to-do. It;s not that I am not attracted to my husband, it's just that I am so tired. By the time the evening roles around, the last thing I want is somebody else crawling all over me. I just want to sleep.

If by some miracle we are able to be intimate, one of the kids almost always wakes up, comes looking for us (this would be an older child seeking us, while the baby naps), etc... I can't go from being sexy to mommy then back again. Once there is an interuption, I am done.

With the previous babies our sex life was back on track by now. I am not sure what's going on this time. Any thoughts?

My daughter is now 12 1/2 months old and though she can sit unaided, she cannot walk, crawl or bottom shuffle. She can stand if you hold on to her, but can not pull to stand. The doctor has sent her for a barrage of blood work (which takes four weeks) to rule out a genetic or metabolic disorder. I don't encounter anyone with a baby her age who is at her level, I worry that she may be like this for life.
