Newborn & Baby - June 2007

My wife and me just brought our baby home from the hospital. The problem is, she won't eat anything, and even when we force her to eat she pukes it up. She hasnt kept down food for 3 days now. Is there an eating disorder recovery program for newborns?

I've read often on here... and it makes sense to me, that when a newborn cries he or she should be comforted.

I'm curious as to what people think is the proper age to be left alone to comfort themselves. And if not an age... then what are some of the signs that they are ready to sleep through the night, even if they don't want to. I know all babies are different. When is the "let the baby cry it out" technique appropriate?

Just looking for persoanl opinions here. Thanks.

Why does my 18 week old scream her head off when you give her a bottle, go mad when you try and put a dummy in, but then continue to put everything else she can find into her mouth. She attempts to put her entire hand in to the point of reaching, gather up most of her bib and try to put all that in, or grab the bottom of her dress and attempt to eat that instead. She wont take bottles, dummies or teethers when she's like this. This can maybe happen after an ounce or two of milk and then you can't get anything else down her until the next feed. We haven't started weaning her at all yet and some days she's really down on milk when she's in this mood

Yesterday was a rough day. My 6 month old was very fussy, and just wanted to be held all day. When my hubby got home, I told him I needed a break and would be back in while. He suggested that we all go out, so we packed up the car and went for a drive. 5 minutes into it, the baby got fussy and strted again. It was making me nuts, so I said let's just go home. I told my hubby that if I wanted to listen to him cry, I could do that at home. Needless to say, it turned into an argument, where my hubby said he was my son and how could I say something like that. He then fell asleep on the couch while I made dinner!! Maybe he would understand if he spent 7 hours entertaining a baby. Part of me is looking forward to going back to work. Now I've been awake since 6:30 doing it all over again, while my hubby sleeps cuz it's his day off. The longer he sleeps, the angrier I'm getting. I don't know why I am still upset about yesterday, today is a new day, and I'm sure it will be better. Any advice?

TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.



We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,

made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.

They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them . . CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives

for our own good.

And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.



Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

I often answer and ask questions on Yahoo and I notice thumb ups and downs. Who and where do you do this ? I notice people putting thumbs down on some responses people leave me and I just wonder how they are doing this. This may be silly but I am posting it in this section because it is the only section I visit.

I noticed that there are plenty of formulas out there for lactose intolerant babies. But I was wondering if breastmilk contains lactose and if it does, then can a baby who is lactose intolerant be breastfed or do they automatically have to take formula. And how would one know if their baby is lactose intolerant?

I am expecting my first child and I don't know what to expect. What do I need to know to help me take care of my baby. Sadly I'm not going to have any help; my family doesn't live around here and his family doesn't really get along with his family. So any advice from parents would really help. Like which is better the bottle or breastfeeding? If I breastfeed how long should I breastfeed for? What should I expect for my sleeping schedule? Any help would be really appriciated.

I think this time I am a little more "relaxed" and feel the need to get myself and the older kids out of the house...I didn't leave the house until they (the siblings) were about 3-4 weeks old..but is that overboard or is taking a week old out of the house just stupid???

Is anyone familiar with these? Have you used one for your baby? How long did it take for them to realize it was food inside? My daughter is 6 months old and we have been trying to get her to use it for about a week now and she is convinced it's a toy. Any suggestions?

My daughter is nine months old and all four of her top front incisors just broke through. She got her bottom central incisors at about four months. It seems like she is ALWAYS teething!! How long do I have before the next teeth come in, and where will they be? How long is she going to be teething (how long does it take to get a mouth full of teeth?) Thanks!

My 6 month old baby used to sleep better at night. For the past few weeks he has been waking up every 3 sometimes 2 hours at night. The only thing that will get him to calm down is a bottle. I can't really do the cry it out method as my baby shares a room with us and my husband has to be up early for work. I'm very tired what do I do?

I'm so sick of strangers wanting to hold my baby's hands. Why do people do this? Babies always put their hands in their mouths and I don't know where your hands have been. That drives me insane! What is a really nice way of saying, "Lady, don't touch my kid!" ?

I know a girl that is smoking crack cocaine. She also breast feeds her baby. I didn't understand why the baby was always crying when she was away from the mom. Today I found out she is doing drugs. The baby is 10 months old. If the baby does not breast feed from the mother, how lond will it take the baby from not being addicted, assuming the baby is.
