Okay, so my brother had a child out of wedlock. Not his best decision making (the sex, i mean), but now there is this adorable little 6mo old (he'll be 7mos on friday) that i, his aunt, have fallen in absolute love with. But the mother and my brother don't exactly get along all the time (a very long story, in short, she still loves him, but he's not too into her anymore, just wants to take care of his baby). so whenever they get into an argument, (which is usually pretty often) my mom makes me wait until they have resolved it until we can bring him home. I was wondering, is that fair to me, or us (my parents and me)? I know that it is their kid and all, but if they are having an issue, as long as we are staying out of it, there should be no problem with us spending time with him, right? i just don't get it. All i want to do is see my nephew, not get into my brothers' personal life. Is what my mom doing right? I just want some clarification. Thanks

My daughter is 3 months 1 week now and sometimes I wonder whether she has a hearing problem. She gets startled when she is sleeping and something falls and makes a bang or when her sister starts screaming. She also gurgles/make baby sounds alot, like when we talk to her and she replies back in her own baby talk. but sometimes she will be staring at something and I call her name but she doesn't turn her head. this worries me cause I start wondering whether she is hearing well. on the whole she seems fine - did anyone every have this problem?

I thought they were all born with this reflex. But every family member seems to take it as a personal reflection of how my 3 month old feels about them when she grabs onto someone's finger. Didn't your babies grab onto any finger that fell into their hands?

OK. First, I did not say I did it, just wanted your opinions. Food for thought--- what if the drink was sugar free (liver concern gone), and the mother did not breastfeed for at least 4 hours after drinking it? Anyone know how long it takes for a body to metabolize the drink? And why did this question get slammed more than questions about drinking alcohol while breastfeeding? Is caffeine worse than alcohol?

What does breastfeeding actually feel like? Is it uncomfortable? Painful? Enjoyable? I can't even begin to imagine, but in 20 weeks, i'll be doing it several times a day & night. Any advice/experiences would be great.

I'm staying with my in-laws (father and mother) for 3 weeks while my husbands in CA training for a new job. I have a 10 week old that I have never been away from, and though it's probably a combination of hormones and lack of sleep and missing my husband, I feel really protective of my son. My in-laws are wonderful don't get me wrong, but they're also really grabby with him, and don't ever hand him over when he starts screaming they just fumble with him thinking they can fix it. I think he just wants me sometimes or needs to eat (i breastfeed) or be changed. Today he started crying and I went to get him from my father in law and he said no lets give him to grandma!!! And she has a habit of calling herself "mamma" to him which I've tried to correct and she says it's just a mistake?????? Anyways I don't want to hurt feelings or make it uncomfortable here but, how do I let them know I'm a first time protective mom who wants to bond with her still very young son, without them getting upset

He's had a lot more drool lately and he keeps chomping on his little fists and putting them as far into his mouth as possible!!!! Could this be early teething? When does teething "normally" happen? Thanks

My daughter is 10 weeks old, and since she was born she's been a drooler! I found that I can't have too many bibs because every time she eats, she soaks a bib completely. The formula ends up getting stuck at her neck, and makes her get a rash there from the moisture, regardless of my (obviously) futile attempts to keep her clean and dry. I know it's not just from teething because she's been doing it since birth. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything that can help?

How can I tell if my four month old is teething? He keeps gnawing on things (fingers, bottle nipples, and toys) He seems like his gums are bothering him but I've always heard they start teething later. Is it possible for him to be teething already? He will be four months on March 13th.

She is 7 months old. I believe she is teething. She's been crying on and off since we put her to bed at 7pm. She calms down for a bit and starts up again. We tried soothing, rocking, teething rings, a cold wet washcloth, Tylenol, distraction with toys, a pacifier, and nothing has worked yet. Any suggestions?

Apparently bottles containing the chemical Bisphenal A can cause adverse reactions to babies. I was hoping someone on here could reference me to a reliable brand or website with information on this. The bottles I checked out at the store did not list the type of plastic they are made of.

My in laws think I should sterilize everything around my 5 weeks old every day. Not just bottles and pacifier, but even toys and everything around his changing table. I think it is not good for his immune system, kids shoud have some germs around so their body could get used to them, otherwise they are going to develop alergies and such things later. Who is right, me or them?
