My daughter who recently turned one..and has never had problems with dry skin before..recently started to get really bad dry patches of skin...On her knee and middle leg area, her elbow and middle arm area and her cheeks. I was trying to find some information on Eczema but I don't think that is what it is because why would it just all of a sudden appear now. Just wondering if any one else had this happen to their child and what it was.
I am calling the doc and making a appointment tomorrow..just want your opinions. Thanks.

Can deaf/mute babys cry?

She is being breastfed exclusively, around 7-8 times/24 hours. The middle of the night feeds are usually comfort sucking. I want to gradually introduce the bottle and wean her off the breast milk but whenever i give her the bottle she cries her lungs out and wants my breast. If i give the cup she will just drink just 10ml from it. I do not want that once i stop breast feeding, her milk intake will drop down considerably since she has very little from the cup. How can i sucessfully introduce the bottle?

My daughter is 6 weeks old and i am breastfeeding her. Im just wondering how many times a day should she be eating. She only wants to eat every 3-4 hours during the day and she goes about 8 hours without eating at night. When she was born she weighed 7lb 8 oz. and she is now 10 lb 4 oz so she is gaining weight fine but im still worried she is not eating often enough. Is 5-6 times a day ok???

So my 6 1/2 week old daughter, my boyfriend and I are moving into a 2 story apartment this weekend. I was thinking of buying a bottle warmer for her bedroom, that way I could keep bottles of water and a can of powdered formula in her room and not have to run downstairs in the middle of the night. My daughter wants instant gratification all the time, so right now we warm water in a tea kettle, but it still takes 3-4 minutes to get everything put together. Also, we're slowly switching her to vent-aire bottles, as paydays permit, because she's gassy a lot of the time. What bottle warmers are the quickest? Can I use them w/ Vent-aire? Do they make one that I can keep a bottle of water in until I'm ready to use it, then add the formula? Thanks!

Folks, there's nobody on this planet who doesn't know that breastmilk is better for babies than formula is. You don't have to keep telling us it's better. However, it would be very nice if you'd understand and accept the fact that some of us don't have a choice. I've raised three children to adulthood and never had a drop of breastmilk. Some moms don't have the choice to breastfeed because of illness, physical disability, or life circumstances.

Just a request... please be sensitive to how you word things. Many of our new parents are stressing out over every little thing anyway... They really don't need to hear complete strangers telling them the best they can give their child isn't good enough.

My daughter won't go to sleep unless she has a bottle in her mouth. I know that this isn't good for her but I don't know how to break her off it. She won't take a pacifier and she won't take just a bottle of water. Any tips or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By the way she is 5 months old no teeth yet.

My baby has no problem falling asleep on her own but still wakes up a few times durring the night. I'm trying some new methods to help her sleep and i know that sometimes you just have to let her cry, but i sleep in the same room and i also share a home with other people. I'm afraid that they will get mad if i dont tend to my baby right away when she starts to cry.

A couple of friends have used the "Baby Wise" book to get their babies to sleep through the night and I'm interested to hear how it worked for other people. I've seen "baby wise" babies and I've seen the "others" and my friends who used baby wise have earned themselves great freedom by using the book and the other friends have just created a life of chaos for themselves. I'm currently reading the book and loving it. I'm due in 10 weeks. What are your thoughts?

She has no problem falling asleep on her own but will sometimes wake up 2-5 times a night. I will let her cry and then tend to her, or sometimes she just wants her bottle but will fall asleep after sucking for 30 seconds. I know it's more about comfort for her than anything, but i dont want to have to get up so often just to hand her a bottle or a teddy bear or rock her.

How often do you feed you newborn and do you do it on demand or have you tried to introduce a routine by waking them to feed?

How are you going with this?

I have noticed that over the last day or so that my son's cheek have become very very red, he is also very cranky. He is just about 4 months old. We both just got over a bad cold and now his cheeks, could it be from teething or is he still sick?
