Newborn & Baby - June 2007

My question is: Will he still recognize me now that different women at the daycare are taking care of him?

I breast fed my son for the first 2 weeks of life. He is now 3 1/2 weeks. I had to suppliment him on formula to make his bowels move more frequently and help to rid him of jaundice. This was about a week and a half ago. Since supplimenting, needless to say, I am not breast feeding as much and now my milk has turned rather clear looking.

I havent been feeding him this portion of my milk when I pump, because I am unsure if it is healthy or not.

Has this happened to anyone else and if so, what is it?

Am I losing my milk? Has it spoiled from less feeding or what?

Can I get it back to normal or are my breast feeding days over?


Thanks.

My son is four months old as of today. We actually started him on Stage 1 foods last week. He is completely okay with them. He had no problem adding them to his diet. But that's not my problem. My problem is: he does fine on the Stage 1 foods and that's all I feel comfortable with at this point. We are living with my wife's parents right now and my wife's mother keeps buying and feeding him Stage 2 foods. You can tell by how it comes out the other end that he needs to stick with the Stage 1. I have repeatedly asked/told her not to feed him Stage 2 foods. So now she does it anyway and is trying to convince me that 1 and 2 are the exact same thing in different sized jars. I know this is not true. But, what I do not know is: Can this hurt him? What kind of problems, if any, can this cause? How should I deal with this situation (because I'm just gonna flip out and yell at her eventually, because that's obviously all she can understand)?

My husband and I are having trouble picking a girls name. We both like the old fashioned girl names but do not want one of the really popular (Madison, Madiline, Olivia, Emma ect....) ones that everyone has right now. Any ideas

My son sleeps on his back. Now the back of his head is slightly flat. I'm worried it won't round out. I look at him while he is sleeping. Sometimes he sleeps with his head up (eyes at ceiling) other times his head is to one side.

I know the plates in their skull don't fuse til they are 12 months. He is 4 months. I'm concerned about this!

A family friend has recommended a nap routine. Up two down two. Basically your child is awake for 2 hours and then naps 2 hours. Her daughter sleeps 12 hours through the night.

Right now my 4 month old son sleeps 5 hours max straight through (from 3am-8am). The rest of the day it is anywhere from 20mins-2 hours.

I am trying this to see if it helps him sleep better at night. It was an extreme battle to put him to sleep. Start at 9pm...and he wouldn't sleep more than twenty minutes until about 3am. I do believe he was overtired.

He has yet to sleep more than 5 hours straight through and it is easier to get him to sleep by doing up two down two. However, I feel as though I hardly spend anytime with him now.

Opinions...experiences...?!

Thx

My friend just called and said that her incesion was bleeding. She just had her baby last friday. Is this normal? She thinks she's dying. I know she's not, but she doesnt have a ride to the hospital and she also has a one year old at home with her. I cant help her until I get off work. About how long until she can move around good after the c-section?

I am currently nursing my soon to be 7mo. old son I know that we produce milk on demand, however my supply has gone down sufficently he is eating solids now and is gaining weight just fine.

My dilema is I'm scared my supply will go down so much that I wont be able to continue for the year as I have planned. I know some women go much longer than that. I have tried the teas and I suppose it helped a bit but I haven't been able to find it again. Any other ideas to help the supply come back up.

Is this a normal thing for the supply to be so low at this stage. I'm pumping maybe 14-16oz a day and then he does nurse while were home. I read somewhere they should be drinking 24-30oz a day. I don't think he's getting that much milk a day??

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

When I had my baby the hospital gave me a very soft, rubber brush, with no handle or frame. When I wash my son's hair I can scrub gently to remove any dead skin. It's wonderful. Do you know what I'm talking about and where can I get one for my sister?

1st time breastfeeding mom I have a 2 week old girl. I have 2 questions. In the hospital they had me using a nipple shield to try to pull out my nipples- but they arent flat anyway so I dont know why they insisted on it. So now I guess baby is used to not having to open up wide to latch=she IS KILLING MY NIPPLES! the latch is terribly painful since its not wide enough once she gets going its okay though. my nipples are very sore hurts to let water hit them in the shower i have begun 2 use lanolin in btwn feedings. can i retrain her to latch well? what do i do?
Also Im noticing one breast slightly larger than the other...maybe im favoring the one that is less sore? must i use to other one a bit more will it even out? I enjoy the breastfeeding i dont want to give up although sometimes i could cry at latch on time!! Thanks 4 the help!

My 4 wk old daughter has a diaper rash that won't seem to go away. A&D Ointment did nothing, and it seemed to be going away with Balmex, but it's getting worse again. Her doctor can't see her until Monday - what can I do between now and then to help her little bottom feel better??

I had my baby girl on Mothers Day, my second child, but my first time breastfeeding. She gained over a lb in her first week, so everything is going just fine, but I was curious to a couple things. When will my nipples stop being so sore?? And, when I think of her, or hear her cry, or just at random, my breasts will have this sharp tingling pain in them, what is that???
Thanks!

We live in a neighborhood with a lot of people who have dogs. Though our community requires they be fenced in, I am still a little skeptical about the chances of them attacking the baby. I know I am a little paranoid, but this is a big fear for me. The only times we have went was with my husband , but I would like to take her by myself.

my sister started to breast feed her baby but when she does, the baby starts playing with her breast and that tickles her a lot. she's very sensitive and reacts violently when tickled and obviously she doesn't want to hurt the baby.
when she pulls the baby's hand down, the baby starts to cry and doesn't want to drink again.

what can she do?
