Newborn & Baby - July 2007

I have a 2 week 6 day old baby boy. I don't know how to get him to stop crying. It's not cause he is hungry because he cries with my breast in his mouth! He is not wet or dirty. He burps a lot though. Could it be gas and if so how do i fix it???

When did you first learn about circumcision? What was your first imperssion of the uncircumcised penis? Do you think your culture effects the way you view circumcision. What do your friends think about circumcsion did they circumcised their kids and did you why or why not?

My son is 11 months old and sometimes I think he is a bottomless pit. I feel like I am feeding him way too much, but then he is my first child so I don't really have any experience with this. I only feed him until he is not acting hungry anymore. He is not overweight at all, but at the rate he is eating I'm afraid he will be soon. He is eating table foods now, and perhaps enjoying them a little too much. Do I have any reason to worry? Serious answers please.

I would like to save some money, like any parent. I live in the USA. I want to use pampers at night to prevent leaks, and I was gonna use cloth during the day but my mom just about had a stroke when i told her (we live with her) so what is the best (and worst) generic brands of diposable diapers and wipes to use? I was going to use member's mark (sam's club) wipes. they seem to be very popular. any others? what about diapers? my son also has a big tummy and needs some stretch. and training pants? what shall I use? ~CONFUSED~

thanks all.

my son is 6 weeks old and he will always stare at something, or i should say nothing really, he will smile and coo at it and you can see him follow it with his eyes, is this possibly a ghost and it cant hurt him can it?

My baby girl is 4weeks old. At first I thought I might have post partum or the beginnings of it. But when I realised that I wished I had post partum to get sympathy from my husband. I finally realised it was my husband who is the problem.
He has always had a short fuse but now, I dont know him anymore. Out of the few hours I see him each day when he is home. He might be sweet and playful for half an hour. Distant for 2, cold for another 2 and then just horribly, horribly nasty for another 2. Even though I love my daughter more than anything in this world and I will never ever begrudge her for it... I see her higher in his eyes. But even then.... when he is sleeping and she just wont settle and is grizzly and keeps spitting out the dummy and crying for it again, he gets so angry and crazy that I whisk the baby away and run downstairs with her. I cant believe he would do something to her, but he scares me.
He used to be my beautiful husband. What should I do?

the pediatrician said we should use OCEAN the nasal drops but it doesnt really work tooo well.. it moistens his nose but it doesnt get rid of the mucus.. the aspirator just isnt strong enough and we got a warm water VICKS vaporizer but it gave my husband and i sore throats in the morning and we felt congested so we think it might be worse for the baby.. is there anything that i can do? or should i be getting a better vaporizer or humidifier? is there anything anyone suggests??? what if he cant breathe when he sleeps will he have SIDS? cuz he doesnt seem to try to sleep with his mouth at all. what do i do?????

The doctor on call is a total idiot (she doesn't even have kids!!) and mostly I have to look up all my info online and do the research myself. So my infant is 4 months old, 13.7 lb. The only medication I am sure my ped (who is not oncall, unfortunately) approved is children's benadryl.

She's schnootzing and sneezing and coughing all over the place. We all have a really bad cold in this house, and it looks like baby is miserable, however she doesn't seem to have a fever.

Does anyone have any information on dosages on things like Dimetapp cold and cough elixir or the like? Do these kinds of medications work on children this young? If anyone has a chart of dosages based on weight I would REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks!!!

i have been very eager to start solids with my son. He turned 4 months yesterday and this morning i fed him a few spoons of rice cereal.. He didnt get any in this mouth, he spit everything back out. Does this mean that the reflex that won't let him eat solids is still present? Or will it take him a couple of tries? Should i stop and try again in a few weeks? He didnt' dislike it, just liked it better on his clothes :)

Did anyone else start this early? When did you start giving fruit/veggie?

And how long did it take for your baby to eat solids well?

Tommorow I'm baby-sitting an 2 y/o little girl from 7:30 till around 6 pm. I'm 13. Don't say I'm too young, because last Friday night I watched 3 kids. Clay- 5 y/o Charlotte- 4 y/o & Cassidy- 16 months. It was sooooooo cute when the parents walked in it was like a Kodak moment. I had to watch them at our beach condo. Since their my cousins and everything. And they didn't have a place to actually be put to bed. And when the parents walked in the youngest, who was going through a really bad phase of not wanting anyone but her mommy, was laid on top of me fast asleep. And the other to were right there too alsleep aswell! So what are some fun things we can do?

I have a 9 month old baby boy who just doesnt seem to care much about eating solid foods. He takes about 5-6 bites and then he starts making horrible faces and gagging. I have called his doctor and he said it could be the texture, so we tried mashed potatos, but he still gagged. He is a healthy weight, he gets 24-30 ounces of formula a day, and he loves it, but just wont eat much more than a few bites of solids. Any suggestions?

I was having my weekly glass of wine and turned my back away from my baby to check on my older daughter. When I looked back my baby had the glass taking a big drink. It looked like an inch was gone, but some was on the floor. This just happened, should I get her to throw up?

I am only about 7-8 weeks pregnat(find out a better number on wen) and was bored online. I found myself looking around on babies r us. I was looking at co-sleepers, bassinets, and the pack & plays with the infant bed up top. I REALLY like the look of the circle bassinets but the only 2 user reviews on the page basically said they were crap.....anybody have/had one?

For my first child she slept in the bed with us for the first couple of months. Well this time I refuse to make that mistake again. I do want the baby to be close though. So im thinking co-sleeper. but I dont know. im not sure how safe a co-sleeper is.

anybodys words are appreciated
