Be sure to include in your answer: (1) if yes, at what age did you start letting him cry to sleep, and (2) how old and how many are your kids?

She is almost 5 months old. Unfortunately her daddy must be away for 4 to 6 months. How long will she remember him? I show her pictures of him everyday. I would think that would help.

I have a 7 month old and I am not sure how much I should be feeding her solid foods. She eats 2 solid meals a day 5 tablespoons each following a 6-8 oz. bottle. Rest of her meals are her bottles. Should I feed her more solid foods and how much? She doesn't have teeth yet. Any kind of sample feeding schedule would be helpful.

My son has a mild case of diaper rash. It seems like I do everything to prevent it; change him as soon as he's wet, rinse out his wipes (they contain alcohol), and the poor kid has about an inch of Desitin on his bottom at all times. Anything else I can do or is it inevitable?

mothers who plan to formula feed their babies can get a shot or pill to dry up their breast milk. Is this true? Just curious to know! Thanks!

What I would like to do is pump milk - put it in the refridgerator - then at the end of the day put it in the freezer for when I go back to work. Is this okay? Everything I have read shows to freeze milk to put it into the freezer right away.

(The reason I want to do it at the end of the day is in case I need to give some to my son)

If you have, can you tell me about your experiences, and how your child has reacted to the water. Also, any tips to help transition my baby to the water would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We're not pregnant yet, but we're both very curious. My husband is 6'2'' with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. I am 5'5'' with very dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I realize there is no guarantee what a baby may look like, but I'm curious anyways! Also, is there anywhere on the web that you can submit pictures of the parents to generate an approximate future baby picture? Just feeding my curiosity today:) Thanks!!

My son currently only drinks non-dairy formula. He is at step 2 for solids. I've mainly been giving him rice cereal, fruits, veggies, oatmeal and then formula. I've been told that babies need whole milk not only for calcium but because the fat in it helps with motor skills or something like that. We are also trying to stay as fresh and raw as possible as well. What would a daily diet look like for him? How does the food pyramid look for our lifestyle? Thanks!

I went for a growth scan today and was told the baby is big - she currently weighs 3lb 5oz - which for this gestation is on the 97th percentile.
Do you think I will have a big baby or something is wrong with her?

I was wondering if babies are fatter/gain more weight if they are formula fed versus breast milk fed babies. I have an 11 month old baby girl and have always breast fed her. I wouldn't do it any other way! But I recently had a discussion that formula fed babies are skinnier than breastfed babies because parents give the bottle to formula fed babies (measure the exact quantities). I pump during the day since I work full time but the evenings/weekends she gets the boob so I'm not sure how much she eats but she stops when she's full. Obviously now she eats solids but during the first 6 months she was exclusively breast fed and was always in the 25th percentile or less for her weight. This question isn't about whether formula is better/worse than breastmilk......

Hi there! My daughter Emma is 9 months old, and really does not care for a sippy cup. I have tried all kinds, different brands, etc. The only thing she will drink water from is a water bottle with one of those squirt tops on them. Any suggestions?

I have a daughter that just turned 1. She has alway cried alot (90% of the day) and seems to never be happy. She hits, kicks, and yells. One minute she will play and be nice then out of no where through a fit and tantrum. She screms none stop in the car. Doesn't and never has liked people. She hits herself and bangs her head and pulls her hair all the time. she also does funny things with her eyes, they go in weird directions, and at times it looks like she is just gazing through you when she actually looks at you! I was wondering if there is something wrong with her. When she was @ 5 month we had also asked her doctor about seizures, because she would make funny breathing noises. And ones again she has always been like this just adding more to it as time goes on.

personally i feed my son as much as he wants when he wants and it's worked out well, he's only 10 weeks old and sleeps for at least 10 hours straight throughout the night without any feed, he usually needs feeding around every three hours during the day

I've already given the baby tons of clothing (from my daughter) and i have more I'm going to give her this visit. but i need ideas on a really great gift for my friend and for her baby. something she doesn't have already (which isn't too hard, she doesn't have too much just yet) they can be separate gifts or a gift that they can share. also, the gift(s) need to be around $20 or so (i'm on a budget!) any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hi I had my beautiful baby girl 6 days ago, she is absolutlely perfect! But my question is she is eating ALOT, I have been giving her 2 ounces of formula every 2 hours or so, but she is starting to want more. So when she still acts hungry I am fixing her another bottle, which she then takes just a little bit of, and stops. I don't want to leave her hungry (and she'll sceam till she gets that little bit more) but I also don't want to keep wasting all that formula. Do you think it would be ok to add just a little bit more water to the bottle with the 2 oz amount of formula? Or should I just continue with what I have been doing? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

baby girl, 20 months old, not talking, or saying anything that may sound like a word (not even mama,papa,etc)
when somebody tries to show her a word,spell it clearly to her, she just stares at them and then walk away. she is in general very "energetic" and usually doesn't pay attention when people talk to her, or focus on something for more than 2-3 mins.
