Newborn & Baby - February 2007

I would like to get my daughter an animal Baby Einstein movie and I know that there are a few types (MacDonald, Animals around the World, Baby Noah, etc.) Just wondering if anyone had experienced these and which one did you think was best?

Before my daughter was born, I decided I wanted to make a special baby book for her. Traditional baby books bore me and I lack the artistic ability to "scrapbook." Therefore I combined my computer skills with my unique sense of humor and created something completely different. Anyway, friends and family encouraged me to try to create and then sell personalized books. I didn't know if there is a market for such a thing. And I didn't know if people would even pay for something so personal. I would appreciate any input on the subject.

My 9 month old little boy was circumcised at 4 weeks old, I just noticed a few days ago that the whole head of his penis is not exposed, as is the case with my older son. I never noticed it before because after the circ, his penis became an innie, and I guess I never looked that closely. It looks like maybe not enough foreskin was taken off, the foreskin in still firmly attached to the glans, instead of under the head. I can see the base of the glans under the skin. I am a nervous wreck about this, I know this is not normal, and my concern is how will they fix it. The skin in firmly attached to the head, the whole way around, so you cannot even expose the whole head. what will they do, is recircumcision even possible?

I'm pregnant with number two, but feel this is a good question for first time moms to read.

Some of my advice:
- sleep when the baby sleeps, hard to do but you really need to
- vaseline! At every diaper change. It keeps the wetness and poo away from baby's skin so that it doesn't get diaper rash. Apply it liberally after each and every diaper change.
- get help when you need it. When I was a first time mom, I wanted to be super-mom, and didn't want help from anybody, but there's nothing wrong with help. Even if it's just with a meal here or there or with a diaper change or feeding. Nothing wrong with a little help!

Please add your suggestions to the list, I'm interested in seeing what we can all come up with!
Thanks a lot! :)

He is almost 10 months old now. He is breastfeeding, eating jar baby food and baby oatmeal/rice cereal. I have been trying to introduce new "table" foods to him, like ritz crackers, really cooked pasta, really cooked broccoli/cauliflower. What are other ideas. I need a lot of them. Thank you :)

I see so many people walking with their new babies with their head exposed to the sun, isn't it better to keep a hat on their head?

Everyone comments that my daugthers ears stick out, I think they look fine and will eventually grow with her head, but everyone says I should tape them back. Has anyone done that before?

He's had it for a couple of weeks now, he's 7wks. And it's just around his moth. Little red bumps, and some of them look white in the middle. It's on his chin above his upper lip, and cheeks next to his mouth. Could it be from breastfeeding and rubbing on my skin with milk irritating it? Some days look better than others....why? Any advice will help. Thanks!!!!!

I am considering a gift for the Doctor that delivered my child. What is the traditional gift for such an event?

I was thinking a 'silver dollar' or something similar.

Thanks.

He has rarely spit up in the past and all of a sudden no matter what we feed him or how much we give him he continually spits up alot. We have tried to thicken up his formula and that doesnt work, we have tried giving him less formula and he just seems to get angry because he isnt full. When we give him cereal at night he seems to be content and no spitting up with the cereal it just seems that the formula he cant keep down, is there any reason that could be causing this, please help!!

It is a book in the bible. It is a bible name. Perhaps people cannot pronounce it correctly and deemed it as different but it is not.
I do not understand why people would call this name dumb to the point she removed her question. Let everyone not forget that this forum is used by people of many different creeds, ethnicities and religious backgrounds. What you deem to be "standard American" names are not the only names in the world! By her post it sounded like she put alot of thought into those names and to have it belittled is mind boggling. What would the world be like if we were all the same? Recongnizing everyones differences starts with "US" teaching our kids. I thought this forum was for parents. If we worry what others think and conform to other people standards then how can we change for the better? How can you teach your kids to rise above that sort of stupidity if you act stupid yourself? I will teach my kids to respect all no matter how different.

because in the Jewish culture the baby is what the mother is and not the father, so I'm just wondering in our culture are we what are father is and not so much the mother.

As soon as you pick her up and start walking around, everything is fine. She smiles, laughs. But as soon as you put her down, she starts crying and won't stop till you pick her up. From what I've seen, there are two answers:

1. You can't spoil a child. Keep holding her..
2. You are spoling her too much. Set her down and let her cry.

Both sides are extreme...To me, it seems there needs to be a balance. So what's the solution from some of you in the middle. How did you get through this time?
