Newborn & Baby - July 2007

Our baby girl just turned 4 months old. Should we really be switching to a different soother? The one we have is Avent...newborn to 3 months. What is the difference? Is the nipple shaped Avent okay still or should we be switching to a Nuk where they are shaped differently?

My son is 5 months old. I had to start pumping when I went back to work. At first (about 3 months ago), I was pumping around 15oz a day. About a month ago my supply decreased to about 9oz a day, now I can barely get 6oz a day.

I pump three times while I am at work, for about 10min each time. I'm using a Medela Pump-In-Style. I nurse him when I'm not at work and on the weekends, but he still gets the occasional bottle at home. I drink plenty of fluids and eat really healthy.

Two things I think are working against me is that my son eats more at daycare than at home and that the other women in my family have all had supply issues and weren't able to nurse past 6 weeks.

I really love being able to nurse my son, its best part of being a mom.

So ultimately my question is this:
Is my supply dieing a slow death?
If so, when do I call it quits and stop nursing and how do I stop safely?
If not, how do it get it to come back?

Thanks for the help!

My daughter is 3 weeks old and on the news I heard that there is going to be this flu epidemic thing going around. Is this something to be very concerned about? Do babies get flu shots? Will a flu shot prevent her from getting this flu that is going around?

I'm assuming that it means that the stuffing is not washable, or will not dry fast enough to prevent growth of germs.

What do you do?

Our boy was born yesterday,and he shakes his arms quite alot.Sometimes his legs do it as well.This usually happens when he's about to cry or crying,sometimes not.
We've been told by the doctor not to worry about it.
Any thoughts anyone?

Is it acceptable for a nurseries to put food on the window ledge(no plate or napkin) and then give it to a one year old baby to eat?

We used to hang out with people a lot more, but now that we have a baby it seems like nobody ever calls anymore. Does this happen to other people? I'm starting to feel sort of self-conscious about it because I'm used to having more contact with people. People seem to like our baby and he's usually not annoying (unless he's tired). But since he came along, nobody seems interested in hanging out anymore. Has anyone else experienced this when you had a new baby?

My one month old so will not sleep in his crib at all. He hates it and i dont know why. I think i have myself in a bad habbit now. When he was about a week old he would scream and wake up all night long and not want to go back to sleep so we started putting him in his bouncer seat to sleep and set the whole bouncer right in his crib. Now thats the only way he will sleep. What do i do!! i think i started a bad habit!

My daughter (9 weeks) always seems to have her belly puffed out while she is sleeping. It's really soft and if you poke it she smiles lol. Also, can a baby laugh in her sleep before she laughs while she is awake?

my baby boy is just about to turn 9 months old.

the thing is, during a bath, he noticed his privates, and proceded by pinching and pulling until i took him out of the bath in fear of him harming himself. his area was bright red and it looked very sore!

he has started doing this every bath time, and he hardly understands what no means, so i cant correct him not to do it. hes also definatly too young for me to explain to him things.

should i just let him figure it out for himself and let him hurt himself? or should i prevent him from doing so until i can explain things further?

any imput would be greatly appreciated!

I have a ten week old son. He has been sleeping with me. I want to put up his crib in his room, however I don't know how and my mom and dad are the only ones who know how to put it up. My mom doesn't want to because of space and how much time it takes to set it up. They are coming over later, I told them they should see him but really I want to ask them. They are coming at 8:00 PM. (in a hour) How do you think I approach them and get them to set it up. Or do you know any alternatives.

A lady I know had a baby that was 1 month premature.

They went home from the hospital right away without complications and I was shocked to hear her say that she was saying that she HAD to breast feed for a month because the baby wasnt allowed to take a bottle.

This woman is a ding-bat and she does like to play up the "woe is me pity party" and Im not sure if she is breastfeeding and trying to justify her decision to do so by hiding behind "doctors orders" or what, because right after that, she said she would start the baby on a bottle when it was a month old.

Im not familiar with preemies - does this sound right or sound goofy?

Just a little bit, like a small glass or two of wine. The same question for caffeine?
and how much amount of it will actually pass through the milk? does it make the baby dizzy? sleepy? and how will it affect the baby?
I would like a "biological" answer please; I am just curious.

I know I'm asking for big debate but it really bugs me sometimes when I see mom's asking questions that deal with their babies getting shots and then I see rude people commenting about how horrible it is and how your putting your baby in danger. I for one make sure my children are up to date on their shots and fully support every child getting them. I would love just once for someone to actually give me PROOF that it causes autism. I mean with out a doubt , studied for 10 yrs , by loads of scientists proof. Is that soo much to ask??

My daughter will be a year old in like 2 weeks, I know that you are suppose to wait until they are a year old to start feeding them cows milk, but I am curious as to how serious it is before they are a year, i know that it has something to do with their digestive system. I would ask my doctor but I am in the porcess of switching insurance so I currently dont have a doctor! Any advice or experiences you could share with me would be very helpful! Thanks a lot!

My husbands parents and siblings live out of state(the same state). They are putting a lot of pressure on my husband for us to drive there so they can see the baby. Like, very soon after he is born they want us there. I think they should come see us. What do you think? By the way, we have 2 other kids who will be in school.

my daughter was starting to sleep through the night at about 5 months.. slowly she began waking more and more often screaming as if in pain, however, she stoped the moment i picked her up, and started again as soon as I set her back in her crib.it is not from teething because that was 6 months ago and she is still doing it! she just got her first teeth last week, and tylenol does not seem to help.so i don't see that as cause. she has been checked for ear infection...none found. we have tried letting her cry it out....she goes for 90 minutes and then sleeps just from exhaustion.I realy don't know what to do!
I have searched night terrors and it does not seem to be it either! I can't keep sleeping like this, and I feel so bad for her!
the cry sounds like a cry of pain, but all i have to do is hold her and she stops, which does not seem like pain, she would keep crying if she were in pain, right? if you have any idea at all, let me know. if you give me a name, i will google it

Is it normal for new moms not to love their baby right away? My friend had a daughter she said she only wanted all boys. She called her mom and told her mom to come get her baby because she didnt want it because it was a girl.
