My baby is 5 months and still only eats formula. Over the past few days her poo has been frequent, thin, runny and very acidic. It's causing her a terrible stinging rash. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? After all, she's eating the same thing she's been eating for months. Any help would be very much appreciated!

A friend of mine has a little boy and it seems to me like she is rushing him into things. He is only 6 months and she has been feeding him cereal since 3 1/2 months, veggies since 4 1/2 months and now at 6 months, though he can't hold his own bottle, she is trying to make him hold a sippy cup. The baby crys a lot, and I think its cause she is pushing to much into his tiny stomach. What do yous think?

Would using a sunbed "dry up", destroy or poison breastmilk in any way that would be harmful to a soely breastfed baby? health visitors and midwifes have been unable to answer this question for us in any detail.

I want to see if my son's is on it and I am not having luck just googling it.

My son is 5 and a half months old. He currently takes 3 (5 oz) breast milk bottles daily as well as nursing 2-3 times per day. He eats 1/4 cup of cereal twice a day and is starting on vegetables.

When will he start using a sippy cup in addition to the bottle and what does a baby drink in the sippy cup? I'm not a big fan of sugary juices and I've heard a baby can get too much water.

Newborn and Baby
Consumer Reports Magazine Crash test worries

In its February 2007 issue, Consumer Reports magazine reported on crash tests it performed to test the safety of car seats. The results were not encouraging.

Most of the infant car seats tested by Consumer Reports "failed disastrously" in crashes at speeds as low as 56 km/h. The seats came off their bases or twisted in place, the report said. In one case, a test dummy was hurled more than nine metres.

Of the 12 car seats tested, Consumer Reports said it could recommend only two, and it urged a U.S. federal recall of the poorest performing seat, the Evenflo Discovery, which is not sold in Canada.

All the car seats passed U.S. standards — but Consumer Reports argues those standards should be raised.

To be sold in Canada and the United States, an infant seat must perform adequately in a 48 km/h frontal crash, and Consumer Reports found that all but the Discovery did so. But it noted that the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducts its crash tests for new cars at higher speeds — 56 km/h for frontal crashes and 61 km/h for side crashes — so the magazine tested the seats at those speeds.

"It's unconscionable that infant seats, which are designed to protect the most vulnerable children, aren't routinely tested the same as new cars," said Consumer Reports' Don Mays, a product safety director.

The only seats that passed all the tests were the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS — expanded polystyrene foam — both selling for about $90 US. Consumer Reports urged parents shopping for seats to buy one of those two, but it also noted that "any child car seat is better than no seat at all."

It also said some seats performed better when attached by vehicle safety belts than when attached with the LATCH system. The system, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, includes belts that hook the base of a car seat to metal anchors in the vehicle.

Consumer Report Article
On January 4, 2007, Consumer Reports published a safety alert in the U.S. claiming that most infant car seats failed their new front- and side-crash evaluation tests. The report also claims that of 12 seats tested, only two performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS (i.e., expanded polystyrene). Only six of the twelve infant car seat models chosen by Consumer Reports for this testing are officially certified for and marketed in Canada. They are: the Graco SnugRide; the Peg-Perego Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace V; the Graco SafeSeat; the Safety 1st Designer 22; and the Combi Centre ST.
Transport Canada wants to reassure the Canadian travelling public that the Department’s collision investigations and data analyses do not support the results obtained by Consumer Reports. When car seats are used correctly, they perform effectively in motor vehicle collisions and child occupants are afforded optimum protection.

The Department takes the safety of children travelling in vehicles very seriously and is continually working to improve crash protection for children through research, development and enforcement of safety regulations, participation in various national and international committees that work on policy development, and public awareness campaigns.

I just went in to get my son because he woke up from his nap and he was totally sideways at the very top in his crib with his head pushing against the bars. He's been doing this quite alot in the past week, and I'm worried that he's going to hurt himself. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do? I should say he's almost 8 months, and he is 30" so he's too long to be sideways in his crib!

My uncle has 3 girls and can't wait for a grandson. He has 2 granddaugthers. When his daugther was pregnant, he prayed for a boy, but it was a girl. He still loves his daugthers and granddaugthers so much but he really wants a boy and when we talk about it, he gets very angry and says that its important for men to have a boy to carry on their name. Do other men feel that way, my fiance was happy for a girl and said a boy is not necessary. How do other men feel?

When did your periods return? I always thought it doesn't come back until after you stop nursing, but I just got mine and I am still nursing my 71/2 month old son, although I have slowed down on how many times he nurses. Will this affect him nursing at all?
