Newborn & Baby - February 2007

my 7 month old daughter is a chunky monkey...she goes through a can of formula in 2 days and the formula she is on is quite expensive would it be ok if i gave her l 4oz homo-milk 4oz formula to cut back on the formula costs? or will that mess up her little tummy?

She used to sleep through the night just fine but the last week or so she wakes up at the same time every morning and is still asleep but fussing/crying. She is not wide awake or anything. We give her the pacifier and she goes right back to sleep but might wake up again 30 minutes later and we have to do the same thing or she'll just stay asleep and we're getting up just the one time. Is it too soon for her to be teething? Is something else waking her up? We have white noise in the background already. She puts herself to sleep when we put her down at night initially. We don't give her the pacifier at that time. Only in the middle of the night when we want to get back to sleep. What could be causing this and what can help her sleep better?

I was told that since I have had HSV type 1 for 3 years, it is less likely that I will pass this to my child.

Is that true? Has anyone HSV+ given birth to a healthy baby?

hi, im due to have my 4th baby in july and would really like to breast feed.my only worry is that i have suffered mastitas with all other 3 children making it so painful & impossible to carry on.i even tried the cabbage leaves,it took a little of the swelling away but not enough to let baby feed. expressing was a lot easier but i tend to dry up after a few weeks & while in hospital nurses would not alow me to do this, they advised me to let baby feed but like i said it was much to painful..does anyone have any tips for me please. xxx

Is it safe to say that she is past it? I know SIDS and suffocation are completely unrelated but when did other parents feel safe putting a baby pillow and/or stuffed animals in the crib?

My 7mth old daughter's stools are small dry pellets that sometimes come out in a clump. She has been having lactulose and microlax to help her to go. We will be introducing coloxyl drops soon. She eats mostly fruit and vegies and still breastfeeds mostly. Her urine is clear and odourless and she has lots of wees.

Is there anything I can do to help her or do I just 'sit it out' and wait for things to improve when she starts crawling (probably won't be for another 5mths)

My son is a few days away from turning one. He's still taking formula (along with normal foods) but, because of the high cost of formula, I was wanting to switch him to milk. He's on soy-based formula now because of gas, so I'm assuming soy milk is what he'll get. Is this the right time? Any mothers have advice?
I will ask his dr. but his next appt isn't until late next week and I was wanting to start milk this week.
Thanks for your answers! :)

I recently bought my 5 month old an Exersaucer. I've also been reading a lot about limiting time in it to 15 minutes a "day" because they can adversely impact child's motor development. I was wondering if parents who allowed their children to spend more than 15 minutes a day noticed any gross motor delays in their child's ability to walk, stand, crawl, or creep?

My daughter spends time each day on the floor and on her tummy; however, due to convenience to me (being honest) I have noticed that she easily spend much than 15 minutes a "day" in her Exersaucer.

My baby is almost 12 months and I want to put him onto cows milk. Did you give him a full bottle straight away or did you try him/her on a small amount and increase it gradually?

I understand that you breastfeed/formula feed in the beginning - but how often and when can you start them on baby food and when can they have water?

My baby is due in June and my cat just loves to cuddle up in his crib right now. She is so sweet and small in there and I just hate to kick her out. If she responds well to the baby (as she has to my tummy thus far), then why can't she stay after the baby comes home?
