I am 9 months pregnant, due on March 1st. I've had a baby shower already and feel that I'm missing just a few items. However, I want to know from experienced parents what they feel their most valuable item was that they had when they had their baby and what they just couldn't live without. Please help!!

Or even just thought of an existing one that you didn't realise existed.
I like the name Ember because of it's meaning. How 'bout you?

I am planning to knit a sweater for a neighbor's baby boy, and she has been overwhelmed with pale blue. What colors do you like for a baby boy?

At about 3 weeks old he started to cry about 2-3 days a week when feeding him at about the same time everyday. Then at about 6 weeks he does it everyday. He does it for about 11/2 -2 hours at night right before bed. A couple times last week he did it ALL day!It sounds like colic, but I am not sure. We switched formula to gentalease and give his gas drops, he seems to be better some days. He does have alot of gas, and will cry when he passes it. Also...How long does the gentalease supposed to help his gas, I just switched 3 days ago? You also know when he is going to cry, he kicks and grunts almost like he is in pain/discomfort. I have also tried excersises with him to help releive the pressure, he seems to like it and smiles, but he get cranky fast and want to eat but it's like he can't becasue he hurts ); What else can I do to make him happier?

My 5-month old son still wakes up during the night.

First, its cause he wants to eat. He usually falls asleep around 9:30-10 pm and usually wakes up around 3-4 am to eat. I tried everything from increasing his formula during the day to fewer naps. Nothing works. If I don't feed him when he wakes, one or the other will happen - he won't stop crying until he eats OR he'll fall back asleep, but will wake up within the next hour or so wanting to eat. I haven't started him on cereal yet.

Two, he doesn't sleep peacefully. It seems like he wakes himself up when he turns himself over while sleeping, then can't get comfortable. Even putting him to sleep takes several attempts. We'll rock him to sleep, then once we put him down, he wakes, then we rock him again, so on, and so on. By our third attempt, he'll finally stay asleep, until 3 am that is to eat.

All of a sudden about two months ago, I feel really tired. Go to bed at 10pm ... sleep through the night ... and I don't want to get out of bed until 9 am. I've gotten up at 7 and 8 and I feel tired. Not sleepy, but I feel like I've ran a marathon.

I had a thyroid test done and it was normal. My blood work was normal.
Also, my period usually lasted 3 days before I had my son ... he is my third. Now it is lasting like 4-5 days ....

Any ideas what can be going on?

I just feel like sleeping all the time.
Don't feel depressed. I get out of bed, take care of the kids... my husband... work .... clean the house..... stay busy.
I'm only 23 and I feel like a 40 year old woman who hasn't slept for 48 hours.... everyday!!!!

The question seems ridiculous, since he is so young, but unless it is my imagination, he actually shows MORE interest in "forbidden" items such as cords, computers, the (old and delicate) diaper genie, etc., than either his own toys or more innocuous household items. My theory is that this is because he enjoys the attention he receives and/or the (perhaps) amusingly unhappy expression on my face when he goes after these items. I'm torn between wanting to correct him with an emphatic "No!" (so that he will learn what is allowed and what is not) and knowing that this probably just makes him covet the items more. I'm actually starting to feel a little hurt that this chiild, who is treated so well and given plenty of his own things, may actually enjoy seeing me unhappy, but the point is, what can I do? (I don't want to keep him in a playpen all day; we actually gave the one we had away because he never seemed to enjoy it.)

I have cheaked to make sure he isn't hungry, doesn't need to be burped, diaper is changed, ect. He also has been up for 6 hours, sometimes we have a hard time getting him to sleep during the day, and he will only take 20 minute naps, and is very cranky. I never let him cry for longer then 10 minutes, and it is only sometimes I do this.

my sister-in-law had my first nephew in september. Anyway, today, on the phone *since she now lives in NC*, she said that Andrew has to get bigger bibs cuz his neck is so big. And that he hasn't been able to keep his formula down. (That part has been going on since like December. She said he's gaining weight, but can't keep his formula down. He weighs 16 pounds now. I think she's got Munchausen by Proxy. She said the doctors are stumped. They don't know what is wrong with Andrew.

I read in a book that we shouldn't let babies watch T.V., and that young children should only watch no more than 1 hour...

But...

She just wears me out! She crawls and is learning how to walk, it's hard to keep up with her; we live with my mother in law so I can't get rid of plants and other objects that the baby is always trying to grab, and are dangerous for her... I get tired of chasing after her,trying to keep her safe...

So, every once in a while I just turn the T.V. on and let her watch, for no longer than 20 minutes... just to get a break...

Is this bad?
Should I feel guilty for resorting to the "electronic nanny"?

Thank you for your opinions!

My boy is 3 weeks old, and has been extremely fussy for about 1 1/2 weeks now. He was fine for the first week that we brought him home, and now when he is not sleeping or eating, he cries. The only thing that stops the crying is pacing the floor with him. I don't know what to do! Some people say that 2 weeks is too young for him to develop colic, so it might be something else...? He goes to the bathroom just fine, and he passes gas from both ends regularly. The only thing I have seen that seems a bit odd is that he drools a lot. Please, please, if you've been through this or know someone who has, HELP!!!

Back in the day when I had my first, everyone said he was tiny (6lbs. 9 oz and 21 inches long) When I had my second baby, she was 8.8 oz and 22 inches long and everyone said she was tiny too. Wish she felt tiny coming out.

Anyway, I read somewhere that the WHO average hasn't changed in 10 years and the average weight of the human newborn is 7.9 lbs or something. Well, what have you personally noticed to be the average in your neck of the woods? Where I am, it seems like everyone is giving birth to toddlers...10lb ers and above seem to be the norm, not so much as a vague look of shock about those jokers anymore.

Are they putting steroids in the prenatal pills these days or are humans just getting bigger due to evolution or something and my body didn't get the memo?
