Newborn & Baby - February 2007

I have toys that hang from the infant seat handle. I have one of those mirrored/lightup toys. I've also just started putting stuffed animals in front of her so she can talk to them. This is helping a little. Is there anything else I can do?

My 3 1/2 month old seems to be getting fussy due to boredom. She doesn't seem interested in toys that I give her while holding her. She doesn't like her bouncy seat or swing. If I put her down she screams even more. I have her in day care from 5:45 am until 4 pm, so it seems like all I have is fussy time with her. Any ideas?

My baby just turned 6 months. He smiles a lot and finds many things amusing, but does not laugh out loud very often. I would say that he laughs, but it is silent laughter & I'm not sure if this counts. I keep reading that babies should be laughing out loud at this age, so I'm wondering if the lack of out loud laughing is something to be concerned about. (he is doing great developmentally in all other areas). I do many activities to elicit laughter, so you do not need to give me suggestions on how to elicit laughter. I'm just curious what your experiences are with this and if anyone else has had the same issue. Thanks!

Hi I'm due in about 7 weeks with a baby girl. I've been through over 5 baby name books and can't decide on a name for her yet. Does anyone have any suggestions.

She's been drinking about 4 six ounce bottles a day but slowly seems to be losing interest in having one of the bottles. Should I be taking away one of her bottles?

My 2-month old starts crying incessantly every day around 6pm. She would have all hunger signs (smacking her lips, opening her mouth) but would refuse to take the bottle. She would scream and cry even more if we force her to take the bottle. Usually this would last a couple hours. In the meantime, she would cry herself to sleep for less than half an hour, wake up hungry, and sometimes fuss more, or take the bottle. We have to hold her and rock/bounce her nonstsop so that she doesn't cry. The minute we stop doing it she would start screaming again. Does anyone have a solution to soothing babies like this?

I have a very active 4 month old she is awake from 8-8. She is aware and inquisitive. She likes to be active. I feel like we are in the same routine of the matt gym, the exersoucer, swing and some time on the couch. She HATES tummy time. Any alternatives?

I have an 11 month old little boy and he now has 4 teeth. The first two on the bottom were great but the top ones I could tell were painful and difficult.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks and be blessed.

I will be giving birth soon, so I checked out what items I will be needing and many parents on Yahoo suggested getting a lot of receiving blankets. Why do I need so many?

When is it a good time to start your newborn on cereal and baby food? My 4 month old is still eating every 3-4 hours, 6oz at each feeding. He is hungry!!! He is perfectly healthy and not overweight. I have begun giving hi, cereal in his bottle and it seems to hold him up for about 4-5 hours. Is it okay to start him on veggies?

He was a preemie too!! He refused to nurse after going back in to the hospital (he was in NICU for a while so I didn't get to nurse until he got home).

I'm a new mom so any advice is much appreciated!!
