Newborn & Baby - February 2007

My step-mother-in-law took it upon herself to give my 6 month old daughter, Jaymie, cereal mixed with Sunny Delight when I had her watch my daughter for about 30 minutes today. I left Jaymie with her and said, "She just ate, and I'll be back in about 30 minutes..." Now it's 12:30 at night and Jaymie has been waking up about every 20 minutes crying. Sunny Delight has ingredients that I cannot even pronounce in it!!! My wedding is tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., and I am SO VERY TEMPTED TO CALL HER AND TELL HER TO COME OVER TO WAKE UP EVERY 20 MINUTES WITH MY DAUGHTER... That way I can get about 5 hours of sleep before my wedding!
I guess my real question is, does anybody know the reprocutions of Sunny Delight with infants? Also, I have given Jaymie some Mylicon (gas/stomich releif for newborn infants) as well as baby Tylenol... Anything else besides wait for Jaymie's stomich ache to go away? Thanks everyone!

Just crunching some numbers to get an idea of post baby budgeting. How many nappies would an average newborn baby go through per day??
Thanks in advance :)

My daughter is almost 5 weeks old. Sometimes (especially at night) she seems to choke while she's eating. I can see it coming on because she sucks and doesn't swallow for a few seconds...than she can't seem to swallow, then she can't breath and then she starts panicking, pulling away and then finally crying/screaming. I calm her down and try again...but it seems like once it starts, it continues...while I am calming her down I am leaking milk all over myself, or else I cover up with the breast pads and then we seem to have the same problem once I feel the let-down again. My question is...does anyone else have/had this problem? What can I do? THis will go on for hours it seems. And then finally after hours of crying she'll fall asleep (who knows if those one minute feedings are filling her up after awhile or what). Anyway, this just happened, and I tried to offer her a bottle of formula and to pump instead...I got less than 1 ounce, but I usually fill a bottle..what is going on?

I am wanting to know if pumping my breast milk into a bottle is equilvalent to breastfeeding?
Am I burning the same calories as I would if he were to latch on to the breast?
Will I lose the same amount of weight by pumping into a bottle opposed to the baby latching onto the breast?

Thank you for your answers.

Our 6.5 month old son sleeps in the most awkward looking position at times. He lies on his side with his back arched and his head and neck extended and rotated toward the mattress. It looks soooo uncomfortable and when I have tried to move him, he just returns to this position. He also loves to pull the blankets over his face and will repeatedly do this despite my pulling them down.

We are putting her in a Safety 1st® 'Intera' Convertible Car Seat as she has out grown the infant seat. She is very tall. With my other children, once they reached 20lbs it was safe to use a forward facing seat. Have the laws changed? It does seem to sound safer to me.

Somebody told me they make small helmets for babies designed to protect their head if they fall when they're learning how to walk and stuff ... Is this true? Where can I find one?

Thanks!

He was born with a blue eye and a brown eye. While I think he looks adorable, I don't know if people will look at him funny or if he will be teased because of this. What do you think?

I am throwing a baby shower and a friend wants to bring her newborn baby to the shower. I want to say it's OK but am sensitive that it will divert attention from the expectant mother. What should I do and will the newborn mother be offended if I say no?

My baby is 3 months old. EVERY OTHER NIGHT, he screams in pain. My partner thinks he is hungry and feeds him. He then screams even more. He is being bottle fed and won't poop for a couple of days. He wakes up in the morning, and is fine. He kicks off again at about 6pm. We can't seem to burp him, he will bring up a lot of wind but still cry. We give him Infacol which helps and Gripe Water which seems to do nothing. Does he have colic? Is he contipated? Is he being over-fed? I don't want to go to the doctor just yet, I don't feel there is a serious problem but it's upsetting. My partner says I should not put Infacol in with his milk but I have heard of lots of people that do this. Is this okay? I don't find doctors very helpful.

We were at the dr today and he suggested doing several stool cultures to find the cause. Does any one know what this might be???

Ok, ive heard many contradicting stories about fetus' getting hiccups...

well im 36 weeks pregnant and my son gets hiccups a MIN. of twice a day, and sometimes it is rather annoying, but really there is nothing i can do about it...

is it true that a fetus' having hiccups means his system is working good???

or is a old wives tale that it means the cord is wrapped around his neck???

it cant be too bad if the cord is wrapped around his neck, isnt it that one in every three babies born, is born with the cord wrapped around there neck???

thanks for answers

It has been 8 years since my last child so please help me out. My 7 mo. old is teething and he is also pulling at his ears. He recently had a cold but the doctor said his ears look fine. Could it be that the pain travels up his jawline into his ears?

My daughter Emma is 5 months old. She ONLY uses the pacifier at naps and bedtime. It seems like I need to stop the pacifier completely, since it is the only reason she either stays awake or wakes up...because it fell out! But now my husband and I are noticing that she will cry even with it in. It seems like she is just having a hard time putting herself back to sleep.
She goes down great for naps, usually for 2-3 hrs. And goes right to sleep at bedtime too (6:00). She wakes up though every few hours. I know she is not hungry, since she is on rice cereal and jar food, plus nuring. It is just that she needs help going back to sleep. My gut tells me she needs to learn to fall asleep on her own, but I have been reading so much about this causing a trust issue with the baby, and maybe other damage? I know I cried it out as a baby, and it happens all the time. I just need some advice..I feel like it is the right thing, but I am still not sure 100%.
Thanks so much!
