I am going to be a father for the first time in about nine months, how soon should a person start stockpiling diapers and other items they will need.

I am due in June with my third child. My middle child and the new baby will be 23 months apart in age. How hard will it be to nurse the new baby and take care of my toddler? Anyone else have any experiences they could tell me about? I am debating on bottle feeding, and yes I know breastfeeding is #1. Thanks!

Mine started by saying, "bah" and now he says, "da da da" all the time. I'm still waiting for him to say, "mama."

What were the first distinct syllables that your baby said?

She's 9 months old. She's teething so I gave her medicine, I gave her a bottle, she wouldn't even finish it... she just wanted to slide off my lap, and go to the floor, but once she's there, she'll start whinning...
She always goes to bed around 8 pm (the latest is 9) It's 10:30!!!! and she's still up! My mother in law is trying to rock her, but she just wants to play... I really don't know what to do, I can't just put her in her crib and "let her cry" because we live with my mother in law and the crying won't let her sleep...
I think this has something to do with the fact that my husband took the baby out at 6 pm, and I thought it would be ok for her to come back at around 8 pm, and she'd drink her bottle and go to bed, but it didn't turn out like that... I put her in bed at 9, she started fussing, my husband took her out of the crib, and she's been up and fussing ever since...
Note: her diaper is clean, she has no fever...

HELP, PLEASE!!!

my 1 month old baby was constantly vomiting after feedings for a week. i took her to an emergency room where we waited well after midnight though there didnt seem to be anyone else there. i told the doctor she had kept some food down within 2 days before our visit but now was throwing everything up. i asked if the could check for a stomach virus and threw in the idea of pyloric stenosis. the doctor ordered blood tests for dehydration. since she had been keeping some stuff down at this time she wasn't dehydrated YET. she was diagnosed with nausea and told to feed her less, less often. took her home, tried this, didn't work. I took her to the hospital in the city we live in and the first thing they did was an ultrasound for pyloric stenosis! it was positive and we had to rush to the childrens hospital for her to have surgery on her stomach. i feel the first hospital was being lazy and that if i (a 20 yr old mom of 2) knew what was wrong the doctors shouldv'e figured it out. could i sue?

How long does it take for a toddler to distinguish between two different languages (polish, English) and how long does it take for them to speak full sentences???... My daughter is 19mths and all I hear is Baby talk, occasionally a word in English and occasionally one in Polish... I want her to know both, but how do I make it less confusing?

i recently gave birth to a baby boy, who had to be admitted in to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit immediately afterward, and is still there for a few more days.. Unfortunately, I was not able to breastfeed him in the NICU as I had hoped.. Today, I was finally given the chance.. Since they have been bottle feeding him (my pumped breast milk), he is just not latching on to the nipple... In fact, he hates it and cries and cries! of course, I am not giving up just yet, but in case he just doesn't get into the breastfeeding thing, I'm wondering if bottlefeeding him my breast milk is just as good.. I have a great electric pump and have been pumping every 2 - 3 hrs.. Can I do this indefinitely, or will my milk supply run out if I am only pumping?

did you ever find out why?
Could it be related to use of birthcontrol before knowledge of pregnancy?

thanks in advance

eat baby food anymore? When i first introduced it to her..she loved it...whether it was sweet potatoes or fruit...she hasnt really ever liked the meats, but the fruits and vegetables she loved. Now lately everytime i try to feed her, she shakes her head no and will not eat baby food anymore. But..if it is on my plate, she wants it. Is this typical? And if so what do you suggest? She mostly drinks formula still...so is this anything to be concerned about, or should i worry about it more once she hits a year old???

She should be hungry and she will be okay for a few minutes then she starts grunting and crying and she pulls off. She screams until I put her back on then she'll nurse a few minutes and the cycle starts over again. This usually happens during early evening feedings. She is not constipated. Any ideas???

I've often heard babies referred to as "bouncing babies." Do they really bounce? Wouldn't that injure them?

My daughter is 5.5 weeks old. THe past week she has had a fussy spell from about 730pm to 11pm. She doesn't cry constantly...there are things I can do to soothe her, but they only last about a minute. So, I put her in the swing, she stops crying, 1 minute later, screaming. I pick her up and put her in the bouncy seat. She stops. I think I've figred out what is wrong, 1 minute later, screams. I hold her, 1 minute later, screams, put her on the floor, one minute later, screams, try to feed her, try to burp her, try to cuddle her, leave her alone, talk to her.....I am breastfeeding if that means anything here...I am about at my wits end. About 11pm I am about in tears until she finally eats and then falls asleep for the night. Is there anything else I can do? I DO try those gas drop things...they don't help either. Please help!
