She has been sleeping through the night for the past 3 weeks, waking up once or maybe twice, but only needing her dummy to settle her back to sleep straight away. About a week ago she started to wake more frequently at night, after giving her the dummy it took her longer to settle back to sleep than normal, then 3 nights ago, she refused to settle at all until we fed her. We gave her 60ml of milk, thinking that this would be enough to settle her, as before she dropped the night feed altogether, she was taking a maximum of 50ml. When she finished this bottle, she became very upset and did not settle at all, it took another 2 60ml bottles before she settled back to sleep. So all in all she took 180ml of milk, which is normal for a full feed through the day. Now she is drinking so much at night that she does not finish a feed through the day. I dont know how to get her back to the way she was, I cant not feed her when she is hungary, and cant force her to eat when she doesnt want it!

I have a 5 1/2 month old baby girl. I don't cosleep every night, but I do tend to fall asleep every now and then while nursing. It's usally the last half of the night. She goes to bed around 7:00/7:30 and wakes back up somewhere around 12:00 to 2:30am. She still sleeps in her bassinet next to my bed. I do notice sometimes when I do nurse her and try putting her in the bassinet she wakes up and cries. I rock the bassinet, sing, and she'll fall back to sleep. (Sometimes she'll just cry). I know them sleeping alone is a transition itself when you tend to cosleep. Do you think it's to early to start putting her in the crib? How old was your baby when you did this? Last, but not least any suggestions on how to go about doing it?

I have an 8 week old and have been averaging about 3-4 hours of sleep at night (not all at once) and have been doing okay until a couple days I woke up feeling like I had taken a bunch of Bendrayll, just really out of it, like I am in a fog and not all here. Has anyone ever felt this way? I know everyone says sleep when the baby is sleeping, but I have a toddler to take care of as well.

help constipation in a 4 month old? he hasn't had a bowel movement in 3 days. he keeps passing gas, but nothing else. I gave him a little bit of water but so far it doesn't see to have helped. i haven't given him an solid food or anything. i'm still breastfeeding, so it's not caused by a change in diet.
Is there anything that you know of that could help?

Can anyone help me? I have twin daughters. One daughter typically sleeps through the night. The other has never really grasped the concept. She seems to be a very light sleeper and wakes up frequently.

How important is it to place your infant in its own room? Isn't it better to use a bassinet and put it near to your bed so you can attend to the baby?

I’m in an impossible situation with my 12 month old daughter, she now breastfeeds more than ever and can’t sleep though the night without waking constantly wanting to breastfeed. She goes into the crib initially every night but after waking two or three times ends up in my bed where she tosses and turns and cries to be breastfeed constantly. I give in to her for fear of waking the whole house and to get an ounce of sleep until she finds herself not attached and starts crying again. I’ve done something wrong and am now a pacifier. I’ve tried to just let her cry but an hour of that is all I can put her though. I try to cut back on breastfeeding during the day but she is teething now and works herself into a frenzy if she can’t. She won’t take milk at night. What should I do, we both need to sleep. Please help!

Everyone seems to make a big deal about making sure my baby (5.5 weeks) gets her "tummy time" to strengthen her shoulders, neck, etc. But she just kinda lays there. If she DOES start to move her head and pick it up she just gets really frustrated quickly and I end up picking her up either way. WHen she is laying on my chest on her stomach, she pulls up and looks around. But how important IS the tummy time at this age? Is it more advice for an older baby or will she never get that strength if she isn't placed on her stomache? I guess I am asking, HOw long should this tummy time be each day and can I skip it until she gets stronger or does she really need it to "get stronger"?

... So i finally had my baby girl on Monday! WOOOHOOOO!! Anyway, I'm having trouble with her burping. After her feedings when we try to burp her, she barely burps and mostly spits up. Even in the hospital, I couldn't seem to get her to burp...only sometimes. I did bring this to the doctor's and nurses' attention. They did say that this is ok and that it's normal. They said that baby might not always burp, but so long as I try then it's ok, even if she doesn't. Now that she's home, I still got the same problem... barely burping (only sometimes) and spitting up. Like, while I'm trying to burp her, instead of a burp she spits up. But today, she threw up! Like, more than a spit up, it was more and more watery with white stuff in it, and it went all over her shirt, my shirt (didn't bother to put the burping cloth on my shoulder this time), the blanket and the boppy. I called a doctor and she asked how was I burping her and then recommended a different way to burp her.

I have an almost 5 month old little girl, she pulls her shoulders up and has worked that stomach of hers on doing so since 7 weeks, she can roll to her stomach and back and rests on her elbows.
At what age did your baby actually start sitting and crawling and what did you do to help them achieve this, also just before their teeth pop up what am I to expect - crying through the night or what? lots of answers would be appreciated, thankyou.

I was changing her diaper and in noticed in the folds of her skin where her leg meets the pelvis, her skin looks irritated and raw, and I asked her pediatrician what it was because it didnt look like diaper rash to me, but more like when you scratch yoruself so bad some skin comes off, and thats what it looked like, btu she said because its so moist and the skin isnt breathing that it was dish pan hands but for the genital area, i go to a naval hospital and although she has her degrees and has been doing it for 15 years, i still have my doubts or maybe its because im a new mom, and dont want my baby to be in such pain or what looks like it, has anyone ever had a diaper rash like what i described for their kids? i used desitin cream, and i have stopped useing the wipes and use a wash cloth with warm water, and let the area dry out, but it breaks my heart to see my baby cry like that
