I had my daughter 4 weeks ago, and I still get stressed out easily over the smallest things, and cry for no reason. I just don't know how to get rid of it, and how to deal with it.

My son is 6 months old and I have tried him on rice cereal a few times,he will eat it sometimes and others he will have nothing to do with it.I gave him avacado yesterday,he seemed to like it,I will try it again tomorro,I am working with a Dietitian at my local childrens hospital as to what to start my son on but she could not really help me with times that were good :( My son is very small (13lbs 9 oz)and needs to gain weight before his next heart surgery so I really need some help on feeding!!Thank you ahead of time!!My question is when you started your baby on rice and other solids did you find a specific time of day that your baby was more likely to want to eat?When they first get up?After their first nap?Before bed?

IS there a limit to how many middle names you can give your child when it's born?

My little guy (4 weeks) has been grunting something horrid the last four or five days with air bubbles in his tummy. I can hear all the bubbles without putting my head to his belly. He really fusses the worst when he's nursing, and I dont know that my nipples can stand him whipping his head around while grunting and straining for much longer.

I feel so bad for him. I got some gas relief drops and gave him two doses today, but he still hasnt been able to pass all that air. He's really quite fussy about it.

He's not colic, but it seems the air is worse at 5-7 pm and around 5 am.

Ive cut out broccoli and tried not having dairy (Iam down to just a glass of milk a day, if that.) thinking maybe that would help... But it doesnt seem any different. I also burp him a lot during and after his feedings.

Is there anything else I should try to avoid him getting gassy? And is there anything else I can do to help him pass it?

Well im going to try to cut this from a long story to a short one. But as the question refers, im a little anxious as to whether or not he actually might have some hearing loss. My son is 7wks old and ive been told by family that he should be turning towards my voice from roughly about this age. He doesnt respond to a lot of loud noise but i have seem him blink a few times when i clap for him. He is extremely energetic so i bought a rocker with a rattle and mobile attached and even tried getting his attention with the rattle. He doesnt turn towards it, nor does he react. He has had a newborn hearing test which is known as SWISH here in Australia and he did pass it with flying colours. But im just a little anxious as to whether i should take him for another hearing checkup.
I would really like to ask mothers and fathers out there with little kids. What age did your baby turn towards sounds and start cooing. And if any parents have kids with hearing loss, what were the signs?

she is 15lbs and eats a few teaspoonfuls of cereal in a bowl by spoon twice a day along with formula. eats great and has digested this cereal well since she was eight weeks old. i know what most pediatricians say to wiat the 4-6 months but this is because their bellies are so small at younger stages and arent ready to digest these types of food. allergies can occur at any time no matter what. not trying to rush just wanted to give her a tast of something else. that cereal seems so yucky flavor wise.

A couple of freinds and family said it was fine to give him rice cereal in his bottle. But I am not sure. My son doesn't get full on formula alone. I stilll feed him 6 -8 oz every 2-3 hours. Sometimes he throws up. I burp him every 3 0z. So I know it's not the gas making him throw up. They all say cereal i his bottle will surpress his hunger longer but I dont believe it. I think the baby will burn off the milk just the same as if there was cereal in it. He just eats so much he pukes. I have tried to limit his feedings to 5 oz then he screams because he wants more. Like I said I feed him more and he throws up. What can I do?

My baby's 9 months old and she has a good grip! She grabs toys, she puts them in and out of boxes, she pulls herself up with the furniture, etc... BUT... she doesn's seem interested in holding her bottle, which is OK by me, but my mother in law is like: "How come she doesn't hold her bottle? She SHOULD be able to do that..."
Is she right? Is it really so important for my baby to hold her bottle?

I know you have to wait until baby's first b'day, but how do you start offering the milk? I thought *may be* I can give her some milk at breakfast instead of formula (which is what she currently drinks) And see if she has some reaction, and if she doesn't then give her some more the next day, etc... Is this a good method?
Thank you!

My 12 month old son has been eating "solid" foods since he was 5-6 months old and all of the sudden he is not interested and wants to nurse or have a bottle. I am just now stopping breastfeeding and was going to start the switch to formula and now I do not know what to do. He eats a tiny bit of food and then wants a bottle to "fill" him up the rest.

I also have almost successfully weined him and don't know a good way to get him back to sleep at night when he wakes up that one time. I normally nurse him back to sleep but need to stop that habit. Any suggestions? Also, what are some good meals for babies. I am getting tired of the same old things over and over.

My son is 7 weeks old, and he makes very limited eye contact. He will make eye contact when feeding, and sometimes when going to sleep, but it seems that he avoids it often. Is this fairly normal at this age, or should I be worried. I have his 2 month appointment on March 5th, so I will talk to the doctor then, I was just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.

Why are so many parents giving their baby's solid food so early? I'm talking at two to three months. Are there pediatricians out there that aren't telling parents that it's not good for baby? That their systems aren't developed enough? I'm bewildered.
