Newborn & Baby - June 2007

Any mom's out there give their babies breastmilk during the day and formula at night, I read having formula in their tummies helps them sleep better... Of course then people say it can give them tummy troubles.
Have you done this? What was your experience?

My baby is 6 months (in a few days) and I'm finding that my milk supply is decreasing as she is getting older. I most definately don't want to stop breast feeding I love it. I decide to stop for a week and just pump and feed her I am hoping that this will help as I will do it every 4 hours for 10 minutes (on a duel) pump. I'm thinking that at least this way I can see how much she is getting.
My husband is home from work due to medical reasons so he is able to feed her so it doesn't make it to much work.
So the morning I breastfed her and then at 12 I pumped (only 3 ounces) I fed her at 1:30 (the pumped milk and 2 ounces of formula) is this going to work. Or does anyone has any other suggestions?

I saw a woman at the doctor yesterday who was feeding her son, whom she told me was 6 months old, something brown and bubbly in his bottle...it looked just like Coke or Dr. Pepper! Is there ANY reason to give a child this age soda? Wouldn't that just contribute to bad oral health and higher risk of obesity?

I am the mom-to-be's friend who was asked to do the baby shower. Of course I said YES! But, is it okay to ask her family for some help financially to make this wonderful for her? And how do I do this? Call them?

I am currently using Nestle 3 & 6 for my second daughter who apparently has more appetite and takes formula to compare with my first daughter. So if anyone can tell me about the Kirkland (Costco brand) baby formula would be appreciated.

Hi everyone. I need to finally clear out my baby son's things. The issue is that most of it is in new condition unworn, and many designer names. Also many like new items like bouncers, swings, etc. Is it too much to ask for 75% of the original price? All are in just as good as new condition. All clothes are new unworn or worn once. I have two bouncers( new $35-39 each), a baby einstein mobile that was $35, and other great name brand products. I went crazy shopping but don't want to do all the work for a yard sale unless I get a return on what I spent. If I just wanted to get rid of it period, I would just donate it rather than take all the time to mark things under 25 cents. Please let me know your own etiquette for yard sales. And yes, I would pay the prices I am marking things at for myself. Also I am going to have many items under a dollar and free items that are still in great condition. Thanks in advance all you yard-salers out there. I need your help.

after your baby's birth, did your doctor willingly prescribe you medicine, or did you have to "fight" him for it? What did he give you? did it help?

My son has gotten a rash on his cheeks I am not sure if it is from him getting his top and bottom molers or if it is because we took him to a swiming pool for the first time. Maybe he is allergic to chlorine?

We have 5 cats!
and a baby on the way.
My mother and father in law are insisting that we get rid of them! (they hate cats) We are definitely not going to give our cats away. They insist that since both my husband and i WERE allergic to cats that baby is going to get really sick.. We have a big house so its not like there is tons of cat hair everywhere and i am a neat freak so i'm cleaning constantly. I talked to my doctor about this and she said that having your baby around the cats will help strengthen her immune system so he/she will be less likely to have allergies later in life! What are your opinions/expierience with cats/dogs and your babies?

P.S. I know liter boxes are bad to clean if you are preg!

He won't play w/ anything for more than 5 minutes, and he won't pay attention to the cartoons. He is not autistic or anything so what do I do? I'm going nuts, sometimes I need to clean dishes or do something other than trying to console him ALL DAY. Literally thats my whole day...trying to figure out how or what will get him to be content! Any advise?

There is a little girl, almost a year old, who came in contact with chicken pox, and they broke out on Monday. Her 3 year old cousin was around her before the spots broke out. The 3 year old came to my house on Sunday....can she carry them to my 9 month old? My daughter has not been near the little one that has them, just the 3 year old, and she has nothing yet. Just wondering if the 3 year old can carry the virus to my daughter. Keeping in mind that the spots were not out on the year old girl, when my daughter seen the 3 year old. Thanx

My daughter is 15 weeks old and can't sleep at night or nap in the day without being swaddled she's very wriggly or wakes herself up with a jolt. How old are babies in general when they grow out of this and don't need wrapping up anymore? And any tips on getting her to sleep without being swaddled? Thanks

my parents want my daughter who is 7mnths to use a walker... i read this elsewhere:
In fact, studies have shown that babies who use a walker may actually learn to walk about a month later than those who don't. Walkers allow babies to move around before they are physically ready for it, which can cause unusual movement patterns and delayed muscle control.
