One of my good friends has just become a father of a baby gal. I don't know what I should get for her as it's my first time buy a baby gift. I want to get something unique because I always like to do extraordinary things. A lot of my friends are either getting clothes or gift certificate, and I don't want to do the same thing.

Hi
I was owndering if someone could explain the process of preparing solid food for babies. For example, Apple
Do i boil or steam it ?
Do I remove the skin ?
Can I use a hand blender to mash it?
What is the portion size for a 6 month old ?
I heard organic veggies and fruits are the best to introduce- Whole foods is about 25 miles from my place. I can't imagine driving their every weekend for groceries but I will if it is good for my baby.

What other fruits or veggies can I include in stages?

Many thanks
A new and confused Mom - so bear with me !

do any of you who have had a c-section shave in that area where you were cut? I mean I still have hair that grows but not a lot and I was wondering if it wouls sting if I actually shaved it myself or perhaps got a wax....I don't like hair right there and it is easy to shave under the scar just not on the scar....any suggestions or advice? 10 pts to the best answer! Thank you for your time!~

did you introduce juice. I also am planning on only giving juice in a sippy cup which we haven't introduced yet also. Does anyone have any advice for me to make this a smooth transaction for baby and me?

He has aways loved his baby food from the time he was old enough to eat it. He would eat about a jar and a half each meal. Just recently he seems not to like it so much and hardly eats any of it. Does anyone know why and are there better ideas or alternatives to still feed him healthly foods? Also he does good with some solids but I don't know what is age appropriate and I need some good ideas for this age?

The company has removed it from their website cause they want to test at a different speed. I know that there were a few infant carseats (mostly evenflow) that were ejected out of the vehical only going 30 MPH. I would like to know if anyone has that information as it has been removed from the website. I am wanting to get an infant carseat but do not want to chose the wrong one. Babys-R-Us does not have the info, I already checked

i've been breast feeding successfully for about 3 weeks now but am having trouble doing it in public. i'm finding that it isn't as transportable as i originally thought because i don't know how to position my baby without a lot of awkwardness. he can't hold his head up yet so i can only hold him in a horizontal position under my blouse which exposes my entire mid drift. i tried using a sheet but don't find that helpful because the baby can get fussy and i find myself trying not to expose myself rather than getting him latched on properly. i have a sling but again ... have no idea how to use it in conjunction with breast feeding. will this get easier when he holds his head up on his own or am i approaching it completely wrong?

Often pondered the birth of your child and thought it was horrible? I'm a first time mom and my son is almost 7mo old now. I feel kinda weird asking but want to know if anyone feels like me. I often think back to his birth and feel it was horrible. I had to be induced 3 weeks early because of a high risk pregnancy. So many things happened unexpectedly, I got a epidural that later wished I never got, I didn't like it. I had to get a c-section and then had to be knocked out because I freaked out on the table. I never got to see my son born and didn't really see and hold him for the first time until 12 hours later. Don't get me wrong, I will never forget the first time I saw him and the first time he looked at me. It has nothing to do with him, I just wish I could of had a better experience and always hope that my next one will be way different.

My little boy is 9 weeks old. He has had oral thrush off on on since he was born. I have had a prescription for gel and it clears it up but then it comes back a few days later. I am breast feeding so I suppose he is catching it from me, but the Health Visitor says not as I have no symptoms. Dummies are sterilised & hands washed regularly . Any advice ??

I accidentally fell asleep without transferring my 5 month old son to his crib, he falls asleep in his swing every night, and the night I left him in it, he slept through the night. I tried it again a few times, and it is consistent - in his swing he sleeps through the night, in his crib he wakes up at least 3 times a night - should I let him sleep in his swing? Is there any danger or concern about doing so?
I'd really appreciate the input of others on this one, it is really tempting when you are so tired to do anything for a full night's sleep, but I don't want to cause him problems down the road...
Thanks for your thoughts!

blankets, hats, booties, toy, etc and did what you made end of being one of your childs favorite things? or just a slightly lopsided work of love quickly tossed aside?

I had my baby 5 months ago. I know it is normal for your hair to come out after pregnancy because it gets thicker when your pregnant. Is it normal still after 5 months for globs of it to come out every time I brush my hair?

My baby is only 11 weeks old. He has been unusually fussy this week and has a mild fever. He has started putting everything he can find in his mouth and is drooling like crazy! He is drooling so much that he has a rash on his chin! He also has a really decreased appetite. I felt his gums and could'nt feel anything on the bottom but it felt like something was trying to come through on the top front left. I thought the bottom ones came in first. Do you think he could be teething already?

My daughter is 21 months, and she nurses all the time, to the point where she doesn't eat much real food. She only weighs 21 lbs. and she is tall, 3 ft.. I don't really want to wean her completely, but less frequently. She also still nurses 3 times at night. For the record, I do not believe in crying it out, or leaving her at night, she still sleeps with us.
