Newborn & Baby - February 2007

My daughter is 3 1/2 months old...I know I'm not suposed to clean her ears out in case of damaging something but she has alot of wax. I have some baby q-tips I got at my baby shower...but I don't want to hurt her or take the wax out if I shouldn't.

Also, does this sound normal? Or should I take her to see her doc?

I have been nursing for 21 weeks now. I'v heard my pediatrician mention starting my baby on solids when she is 6 months. What is your intake on this? Please let me know if you nursed or not. When did you start your baby on solids? She was born 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 1/2 inches. Now 14 pounds 8 ounces and 25 3/4 inches.

It might sound crazy, but it is a couples shower at night. Just wondering what people thought.

We have a lot of outfits that came with matching booties and hats, but the booties and hats NEVER fit. This has happened with both of my kids. I have outfits from Carter's that came with booties that are WAY too big, but other Carter's booties in the same size bought separately fit. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Even when he is fed, not tired, changed, burped and cuddled he still moans!!
I love my gorgeous nephew so much but he's wearing the whole family out!
We saw a cranial osteopath with him onSaturday but not really sure whether this helped (unsure of the whole technique, poss a con!).
Any clues please?

I have a 5 yr old and a 3 week old. My 5 yr old has the stomach flu and has been vomiting & is running a fever (100.7 F). How can I prevent my 3 week old from catching the flu? Has anyone ever had one of their older children get the flu and the baby never got it? Also, I'm breastfeeding, so does that prevent my baby from getting the flu?

I have a 7 week old baby and today she's screaming her little pink head off. We've fed her, changed her, etc. She even screams when we hold her. When we put her down. She's been fine on Similac w/ iron, powdered, so far. So I'm thinking it may be colic, but I thought they usually get that in the first month. Anyone else have a baby who got colic at this age?

I have heard so many conflicting things when it comes to starting solids. My son is almost 5 mo old and I did start introducing foods to him when he was 4mo and he did good but I was never consistant with it because I couldn't make up my mind whether or not if he was ready and he was doing just fine with his formula alone. So I finally just stopped because I felt like he didn't rely on it and thought it was logical to wait a little longer. My son eats 7-8 oz of formula every 4 hours with a little cereal in some feedings and he sleeps through the night so no night feedings.

I'm just wondering if he will let me know when the formula isn't cutting it for him. Or is this something I just have to keep trying until he gets used to it? I'm a first time mom as you can probably tell.....Thanks for any advise.

My sister in laws goat has a kid (a female) . The last few days, when she goes to nurse, she takes the teat but when she sucks all the milk runs out of her mouth. She doesn't seem to be trying to swallow! Is it time to call a vet?

I've recently started expressing and I was really disappointed with the amount .. I pumped for nearly an hour and only got out about 1 1/2 ounce ... But when we gave our newborn (2 wks.) the bottle, she seemed to get full pretty quickly... I tried again for the second time and it didn't take me nearly as long (about 20 mins.) to pump the same amount again .. Is this normal? Will I gradually be able to pump more as I go on ?
