Newborn & Baby - June 2007

My baby girl is in a great bedtime routine since she was 4wks. She has her bath, change, feed, nurse then bed for 9pm every night and sleeps right through until 3am (last night until 5am) this is great and i am pleased however when she wakes at around 3am for her feed, after she has her bottle, change and is winded she will not actually settle back into a good sleep altho she is very "drowsy" she will wriggle and squirm around until around 5:30/6am then she is bright as a button ready to wake!! She doesn't cry when wriggling altho sometimes but not often she does make little noises and seems very restless. Anyone else had this "problem" and do you think theres something i could be doing to make her feel more relaxed??

My baby's birthday is coming up, and her grandpa would like to buy her some books to last her for the next couple of years.
What were your favorite books (with authors, if possible)??
Does anyone know of any neat nursling or tandem nursing books?

My baby is 8wks old today and is still feeding every 3hrs sometimes every 2. Is this ok? She NEVER cries for a bottle just becomes unsettled and moves her head from side to side so i make her a bottle. I have been advised by some to let her cry for her bottle Do you think i should start doing this? Last night she went to bed at 9 until 5am and when she woke she wasn't crying just wriggling about and making murmurring noises (its at this point i would give her a bottle) she always drinks the bottle, sometimes 3oz's sometimes 5...

This may be a dumb questions , but I just started my daughter on solids , just fruit for now. I have been giving it to her following her first bottle and her second to last at night. She seems to be hungry all the time , should I be giving her the fruits at a seperate time from the bottle? Like in between bottles or am I doing it right?

before you all say it "ask a doctor" well we have been to a doctor... 2 health visitors.... 2 nurses... a friend who is a nurse and an osteopath. Baby has a swelling like half an egg n her head but it is more wobbly like jelly and you can push it along. The doctor says it is from when she was born... basically that the original swelling solidified so it had apperared to go away... then it starts to break down to be reabsorbed into the body. Thing is none of the others have ever seen anything like it... she is now 9 weeks old, it has only just come back ( she was swollen babdly due to being stuck at delivery) acting normally... feeding well... all smiles... no discomfort or redness. anyone lived through this and how long will it take to reabsorb?

She is trying to go forwards to get toys and food but just goes backwards. I can tell it is frustrating her as she just starts to whinge and cry. I go behind her and push her forwards by her feet. This is fine when I'm there but how can I get her to learn on her own to go forwards? This wouldn't bother me if it didn't bother her, I can tell she's really trying and just cant do it.

What is it that makes them go backwards? are her legs not as strong as her arms or something?

By the way she's 8.5 months

I know infants sleep pretty much all the time. But something doesn't seem right. She usually doesn't sleep like this. She usually is awake for an hour or two then sleeps for an hour or two. And so on. Well that's pretty much how she is. Today at around 1 I gave her a bottle and took the whole 8 ounces. She fell asleep at around 2:30. At around 5 she started to wake up, well she started crying out and sucking on her fingers. I figured she was going to wake up and want to eat. So I made her a bottle. It took her awhile to drink it and she only took about 3 ounces before she started falling alseep when sucking. So I took it out and laid her back down. She's whined and woke up for a few minutes a couple times since then but thats it. I tried to wake her up a little while ago to eat and again she just took a few ounces. I took her temperature and its normal. My mom said she may just be really tired. Should I take her to the doctor or am I just worrying for nothing?

My daughter will be a week old tomorrow. My milk came in on Day 3. They have been engorged since. I have used a breast pump just to release the pressure and relieve the pain, but I am just wondering, how long does it last? I plan on breast feeding for awhile, so I am just hoping that this will stop soon....

Thanks everyone.

my 10 week old son has suddenly became very 'clingy'. he is breastfed, he use to be very content being (entertaining) by himself, and he would only wake up once in the night. now he wakes up about every hour throughout the night, he won't fall asleep for a nap by himself anymore-he wants me to hold him then he goes to sleep and as soon as i sit him down he cries.
we've went to his dr. a few days ago because for about 2 weeks now he has been spitting up crazy amounts of milk and even projectile puked few times. he's gaining weight somehow so the dr. wasnt very concerned.
plus, he got his 2 month shots 1 week ago---this all couldn't be connected could it?
....needing some suggestions!
thanks :)

My one year old has developed some slightly rough, slightly red patches on her skin. She has one behind her shoulder, a few on the back of her upper arm, more widespread behind her knees (but above the creases) and some dry spots on the creases at the front of her ankles. She has no fever and the spots don't seem to itch or even bother her at all for that matter so I feel there is no cause for alarm. She does have a doctors appt. next week, so I will definitely bring it up then, but I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this?

She has recently started on cheeses and yogurts, but has no other allergy symtoms (i.e. no vomitting, diarrea, hive like rashes, or wheezing).

Do you think this could be excema or just a case of dry, sensitive skin??? Thanks for your help!

If yes, why and if no why. What would be your concerns if you answered no. Also, would you actually take your child to a learning/fun center, where classes are offered for children and their parents?
