Newborn & Baby - February 2007

Our 8 month old has had a cold for 10 days and in the past two days when he wakes up on mornings, his eyes are closed shut with mucus. I've read up on viral conjunctivitis, but I'm not sure if we should be worried or what else we should be doing (other than keeping them clean with warm water. We have an appointment in 2 days with his pediatrician but in the meantime would appreciate if anyone with any similar experiences could share their wisdom.

Hi,
I am planning to feed my 4 month old baby rice cereal tonight.

I am planning to mix 1 tablespoon of rice cereal with 5 oz of breastmilk. Is that proportion right?

I use Dr.Brown's bottle. Should I use a Y cut nipple? Is he too young for a Y-cut nipple?

Please advice.

I'm having my baby boy in June and I think that it is a Christian thing to do since it is mentioned in the Bible. (I just can't find it), but I think that is what everybody does. My bf's is not. How do you think I should handle it and what are your thoughts?

I am currently pregnant. When the baby is born, the father wants it to be catholic. I personally would like it to remain unbaptized like myself in case it wants to find some sort of religion when its older. I'm leaning towards the catholic religion, because i myself am 16 and don't know too much. I am unmarried and under age, does anyone know if I could still have baby baptized catholic if i'm not baptized at all myself? Thanks!

My son's doctor put him on baby food at 6 months old. He is curently eating 2 or 3 containers of food for lunch and 3 for dinner. He is an average size, he weighs about 19 lbs. Is this alot for an 8 month old to eat? How much does your 8 month old eat?

My two week old son has what I'm pretty sure is an umbilical hernia. his entire navel pokes out from his abdomen, more so when he cries or strains. He also has a slight bulge that runs up the length of his abdomen. Everything I've read in baby care books, on the internet, and in my own training as an Infant Care Specialist says that it is a condition that requires some supervision, in case intestinal strangulation or some other complication ocurrs. When I called the doctor, however, she said that there arent any risks with umbilical hernias, only with groinal hernias, and that there is no need to have him looked at. He doesnt seem in pain, and I'm not really worried about him, but i was bothered by her seeming lack of concern. Is everything I know wrong? Is an umbilical hernia always completely harmless? If so, why all the warnings from medical sites and care training?

It shows in the baby book to allow your child to grasp your finger and then you help raise her up from a laying posistion to an upright sitting posistion. The picture shows total support for the wrist/hand but says anything of whether to do so or not. Is it bad for the baby's fingers and wrists to try it without supporting the wrist/hand. Is just the fingers grip on the finger enough to not hurt her?

My 6 month old is a perfect angel during the day but at night she wakes up every hour. I give her a pacifier that doesn't help, sometimes a bottle puts her back to sleep she has about 2 bottles a night. She goes to bed about 8pm and sleeps fine until about midnight and than thats when it all starts and than she is wide awake by 7am. I am going nuts and I don't know what to do. I try to let her cry it out but she just keeps crying, I let her cry for 30min the other night before I finally decided to go in to her. Her nap schedule is half hour at 10:00am, 1 hour at 2pm and than another half hour at 5pm. So I don't think she is getting too much naptime. Please any suggestions would be great. Also I don't think it is teething because she isn't acting like she is in pain. Thank you for any help!!!

an accurate prediction of the babies sex occured? I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks for date purposes and they told me that it was a boy. Well yesterday I had an ultrasound at the hospital (my OB thought I ruptured a membrane and sent me to the ER) at 18 weeks and it is indeed a boy and oh my was he showing off. :) Anyone else had them predict it early and be correct. Just curious. Thanks.
