Newborn & Baby - January 2007

My son is eleven months old and has been on many diferent formula's. He spits up alot less then he used to. He is drinks enfamil AR. His doctor says to gradually swith to whole milk at eleven months. I'm worried his reflux will get worse. So far after three days he spits up about 2 tablespoons after each bottle with whole milk. He doesn't seem ready to switch to sippy cup. He loves his bottle. THANKS

My baby is four months old..she sleeps through the night from 11pm to 5-6 30 am wakes up for a bottle then falls esleep quickly for another 3-4 hours in the morning. So she gets about 9 hours of sleep a night. Then she goes down for another nap about 1 or 2 pm for an hour to 3 hours. Then she will stay up for another 3-5 hours and then will sleep for another 2-4 hours..then she goes back to bed at 11 for the whole night. SO to sum it all up she spends most of her days sleeping and I am worried she is sleeping to much. Sometimes I cuddle her and put her to sleep because I want time to myself to get chores done or else just a minute to relax. Can a four month old get to much sleep? Will a four month old sleep even when they arent tired? Please help.

My son is 3 months old. He is pretty congested. He does not have a fever or a cough. He is in a pretty good mood. I have tried putting him in a steamy bath with baby Vics vapor rub. This helped a lot but only for a few hours. I have sucked the stuff out with that horrable blue thing that he absoluly hates. But he is still all stopped up. He is not sleeping well because he likes to suck his thumb while sleeping and to get to sleep but can't because he can't breath out of his nose. Any ideas of things that have worked for you? This is my first and it is just me so I'm new and any advice would be great I just want him to feel better! Thank you!

i know this rule does not apply to every family. but lately i've spending time with different families and it seems mine included that the first born tend to be smarter and more together than their siblings. any insight on this phenomenon? i'm looking for all posibilities not just common knowledge such as the first born babies get more attention because they are the first and this facilitates more faster growth and learning creating the foundation of their intelligence.
one out of the box idea i had is that generally speaking when a woman has her first baby she is more likely to be physiologically at her peak and when she has her second or third, her body may have hit a threshold and consequently underperform having an affect on the childs DNA. just a thought. i'm just curious to know what everyone else thinks.

My daughter just switched to a convertible toddler car seat. She was previously in an infant car seat, that had a convenient shading device that I could move around to keep the sun off her face at any angle. Her new car seat has no such device. We have window shades on the side windows, but sun always comes in from the back window into her face and its very upsetting for her. What can I do about this?

I have chosen not to breastfeed my child when she arrives, but is it possible to breastfeed at first, maybe for a few days then change to bottle? or would it be better to bottle feed right from the start? Just i hear that the first milk is very good for baby's immune system. Thanks x

I am not planning on breastfeeding for various reasons, health and otherwise. However, I've had some people tell me that I'll need to for a short while as newborn babies can't suck on a rubber nipple right away as it's too hard. Is this true?

My son is 9 months old and weighs 15 lbs. The doctor told me to put him on formula to gain weight, but I've tried formula on him before and he won't take it. I've switched brands and I'm currently trying this other brand and he still won't take it. I wondered if my breastmilk could be mixed with the formula until he gets used to the formula. The doctor said that if my son doesn't gain a significant amount of weight within the next month, he will have to go to the hospital. Please help. Thank you.

My 6 week old baby is going in for hernia surgery next week. The hospital requires no food or drink for a certain period before surgery. How do you tell that to an infant?? I'm going to be a wreck before we even check in to the hospital!

Is it worth not having much money, or do you really want to go back to work?

A girl that I slept with nine months ago recently gave birth to a baby girl two days ago. Thing is, I hadn't talked to this girl in eight months prior to her telling me last week that the baby was due any day now. She claims that I'm the father, I want to believe her but I know too many people who have been in situations where they find out months and years later that the child isn't theirs. Due to their situations, and the fact that I haven't talked to this girl in months before she gave birth, I asked for a paternity test. She agreed, but is still trying to pressure me to take an active role in the baby's life. I went and saw the child yesterday, and will go visit and spend time with her in the near future, but I refuse to contribute moneywise to the situation until I know for sure the child is mine. I am getting constant pressure from her and her family because of my stance. What should I do?
