All of a sudden I am seeing a new thing in my son. The moment I open his diaper he reaches for his penis and testecles. He squeeses them. I find this very painful while he does not feel anything. He is exploring himself but will he hurt himself. He also hits himself there at times when he is playing and happy. Please advise.

i had my baby 3 weeks ago and ever since we came home from the hospital i have been sick, i noticed that she was conjested so on her 1 weeks appointment i told her doctor about it and the stupid doctor didnt even do anything about it.. about a week later she stoped breathing while i was holding her so my husband and i took her to the ER. she was admitted to the hospital on the 19th... she had broncities and was tested for RSV and it came back positive... we just barley got home yesterday, well my question really was if i was feeding her to much because she was throwing up alot before she went into the hospital and then during her stay it slowed down, by the end of the time there she wasnt throwing up hardly at all, but tonight she threw up again, its not spit up its accual barf you can smell it.. i just wasnt sure if it was because she is still partly sick and congested (they said that she will prolly be sick for a couple more weeks, but the broncities is almost gone)

My son is just starting finger foods. We gave him the Gerber Puffs and he loves them. I was looking at the package today and found that they are loaded in sugar! I breastfeed and make all my own baby food so that he is the healthiest he can be. I feel like I just threw it out the window with these puffs!! Does anyone have any healthier alternatives to be used as fingers foods? He's 8 months & has 4 teeth...I really liked the puffs because they dissolve, so I'm looking for something along the same lines.

they say during the later stages of pregnancy the mother will be able to recognize her baby's sleep/wake patterns....but mine is always moving....does that mean the baby is going to turn out to be the kind that hardly sleeps?

My daughter just turned one. She has very light brown hair, and she doesn't have a whole lot of, more around her ears and neck though. I recently noticed her hair above her ears, almost temple area, is WHITE, I have noticed before it was lighter, but I thought only because it is sparser in that area. I have 2 explanations, one is that it is a "hair birthmark" where there is no pigment, but it is the same exact spots on both sides of her hair, coincedence? My second theory is that it is from the anesthesia, she had surgery a month ago. Any ideas?

does anyone know of a baby gate that will securely fit a space that is 46"? now that my kiddo's crawling I need to be able to keep him away from the entrance to the house, it's linoleum and he just slides and falls, plus the closet with the furnace is there and he can slide open the door easily. Most baby gates seem made to fit normal sized doorway, which is about 37 inches or so, and even the ones that go up to 45 are stretched all the way out so they're not at all secure. Anyone know of any brands they like?

I know that babies gain, on average, 1 oz per day for the first few months, that they usually double their weight by 6 months and triple by 12 months.

Unfortunately it doesn't apply to my baby. She was 4 1/2 lbs at birth, and is 16 lbs at 6 months, so she's close to quadruple her birth weight already. She gained 2.5 lbs from 4 months to 6 months. I don't know if it's reasonable to expect that she'll continue to gain at the rate of about a pound a month until she's a year old.

My reason for asking is pretty trivial. I know that she'll probably change clothing sizes sometime in the middle of the summer, but I'm trying to figure out if she'll be likely to spend more time in one size than the other. I don't want to find out in June that she needs new summer clothes and the stores are selling Christmas dresses!

Thanks!

My doctor said not to take the baby in to be treated because the infection would most likely go away on its own. I have to wash her eye out every few hours, and it is supposed to be pretty much gone by now. Well, the redness in the eye itself has gone, and the puss is no longer green, but there is a pretty red ring around her eye. the redness is getting worse and she is obviously bothered by that eye. so could it not be pink eye? should i demand to get into the doc?
