Newborn & Baby - April 2007

I took my 6 month old son to the dr. last week and she is conserned about his weight ( he's in the 5th percentile ).She thinks it's because my milk supply is low and I agree. He only nurses for a few minutes and then he wants to be done( I feed him a jar of solids then). I dont really want to call a lactation concultant at this point in the game but she said they may recomend some herb that would increase my supply. Does anyone know what herb she would be talking about and if you have any experiance using it?

My cousin wants to breastfeed her newborn, but she smoked weed for the first time after she had her son. She wants to know if weed effects the breastmilk. I know that alcohol and things she eats would affect the milk, but i know smoking cigarettes is allowed, so what about weed.

My son is three months old and weighs 17 lbs. His current car seat has a limit of 22 lbs. I am trying to find a good car seat for when he reaches the 22 lb mark.(He seems to be gaining about 1lb a week!)

Should he be in a forward facing or rear facing? Should it be a convertable seat or a toddler seat? I am totally lost on this one.

Thanks!

My son is one week old and he sleeps all the time. He will sleep for about 4 hours, wake up and eat and then go right back to sleep. Normal? He is 9 lbs if that makes any difference.

For the past few weeks, my 7 month old daughter's leg has been turning blue when she is sleeping. When this happens she is always sleeping on her side so I know it may just be the way she is positioned. I always move her and it turns back to normal color in just a few minutes. I just don't know if it could be causing damage or what it could be from. Would it wake her up before it caused some type of damage? I know I need to ask her doctor and I will but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced these problems. Thanks

From what the new daddy says
During delivery his heart stopped twice while inside her, but she changed position and it started again.
The chord was around his neck and he was face-up but they put thier hands in and turned him around.
When he was born they rushed him away because he was not breathing and did not breath on his own for 10 minutes. I guess the pumped air into his lungs.
Now in the NICU he had some seizures, poor little guy.

I hope for everyone that he is OK, new daddy says the doctors are cautiously optimistic. THey may transfer him to Toronto Sick Kids (the largest and best childrens hospital in the world) for more testing.

I am wondering, when she was pregnant she often came to visit us and complained that the baby was "thrashing around"
I thought that the baby moved less in the last month because of limited space. (my babies movements slowed down)
Do you think that is normal?
Or does it have anything to do with anything?

I have a 12 month old that I have been trying to switch to cow's milk. For the last month and a half I have been putting a little mixed with formula. About 3 weeks ago I went to straight whole milk. Last Thursday my son threw up during the night, and has been having diarrhea for the last week, he also threw up last Sunday night. His diapers have been very stinky and have a yellowish foamy look to them. They usually run out of his diaper down his leg and he has kept a diaper rash the last couple of weeks, we have tried every rash cream possible. We had stool sample checked for Clostridum difficile and Rotavirus. Both were negative, Is it possible that he could have a milk allergy, of some other sort of virus?

My son is 19-months-old. He woke up with a deep, barking cough this morning (we're overseas and it's saturday morning, where it's early friday evening back in the states). He hasn't coughed very much... only a few times, but he cries everytime he coughs. I let him play in a steamy bathroom for about 20 minutes. It seemed to help a little and now his cough doesn't sound so bad, but I'm not sure what to do. He's not running a fever. He's been congested for a couple days. His nose is runny with thick, green phlem (sp?), but other than that he's acting normal. Should I take him to the ER now or just wait it out? Doctor's office won't be open until Monday. I called the ER and they won't give me any advice over the phone... I'm not sure what to do. I've never dealt with croup before. I've been congested for the past week myself, but it's from allergies. I don't know if my son has allergies as well or if it's a cold or something else. Any advice I'd greatly appreciate.
