Newborn & Baby - July 2007

I have a 6 1/2 week old infant and I would like to know how much he should be eating and how often?

Is 4oz of breastmilk (pumped) too much every 3 hours? and how long should he be on my breast when I nurse???

Thanks

Well, she will be 3 months on the 13 of August. Is she to young for baby food? My mother in law bought a whole crap load of it and I am wondering if we should feed it to the baby now or save it. And if we save it how long can it sit in the cabinet before it goes bad?

I have been back to work for 3 weeks. My son is 3 months and 2 weeks today and breast feeding are becoming far and few between. I started pumping (which I have not been very good at) when I started back to work. My job is very stressful and I have not pumped at all. I try to nurse at night but the last 2-3 nights my lilltle man has slept all night. I am scare that this is the end to my new beginnging and I would love to give my son this wonderful gift until he is a 1 or 2. I have already been sad that I didnt know how wonderful breast feeding was until now. I dont wont to call it quits. Please be truel is it full-time formula time?

Okay well I know that this sounds strange, but my baby has like a "v" at the top of her butt crack just wondering if this is normal since she was preemie, or if it is maybe some kind of birth defect...she was born at 33 weeks, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks...the doctor never said anything about it, and I never thought anything of it until someone else saw it and asked about it

My daughter will not let me put her down when she is sleeping. I will hold her and she will go to sleep so I will put her down and her eyes will open right when I put her down. Is she spoiled already? (2 1/2 weeks old) Or what should I do?

I am coming up on 42 weeks, I know the baby gains an estimated 1/2lb each week in the last few weeks. My Dr. thinks this is going to be a big baby. My first was 6lbs 8oz, but he was born at 38 weeks. For women that have gone past thier due dates.....did you all have bigger babies?

Hi there. My 8 week old baby is still waking 3 times for food between 12am and 8am. Sometimes she doesn't want to go back to sleep and is alert at 2am, meaning I sometimes don't get back to bed before 4.30 only to get up again an hour later for more feeding. is this normal? When should you start trying to get them into a routine and how on earth did u do it? Ive tried giving slightly more food at the 12am feed but she still wakes up. Am I just being impatient and is she still too young for sleeping throught the night? any help much appreciated

My son has had SEVERE diaper rash for about the past week. It's been 104-106 degrees everyday and we've been swimming in pools quite a bit. I'm not sure if the rash is related to that, but we have treated him with regular diaper rash cream, and baby powder and the rash isn't responding to them.
Also, we let him go an afternoon without a diaper on to maybe dry it out.
Does anyone know a good way to get rid of something like this? (maybe it's a heat rash?)
What about natural ways?
I've heard olive oil works... NOPE! We tried that, too.

Thanks!

The Dr. took xrays and said his brain and skull are normal but his plates were a different shape. She said the skull has been forming like this since he was in the womb. Sam was a big baby so he was pretty crunched in there. Anyway, they said as he got older and was able to crawl and sit up it would reshape. It doesnt seem to look much different to me. Should I worry?

My baby is 8 months old and I was only breast feeding her till 6 months and started weaning after 6 months.She eats proper amount of cereal, fruits and vegetables .I am still nursing her; but I think that ,milk is not sufficient to her especially at nights. She wakes up almost 7 times at night and cries when she is not full.So I tried to give her formula but she is not accepting any kind of formula. It is said that whole milk should not be given till 1 year. Can I try diluted whole milk.

I find that my son's bottle teats are all cloudy. I clean them really well in very hot water and usually microwave sterilise them, but since they went cloudy I've been soaking them in boiling water with a bit of detergent. It doesn't work though. I had the same problem with my daughter's, but when I soaked them they'd come out clear.

Anyone have any ideas why they do this and how I can fix it?

Im 8 months pregnant, and were having a boy next month, and My boyfriend is really going on about "your not supposed to cut the babies fingernails for one year" He says somewhere he read that you should chew off the newborns finger nails for the first year, otherwise the baby will grow up and be a criminal... has anyone ever heard of such nonsense before?

I told him the dr. will cut the fingernails once he's born because they will have already been growing, and he said he would yell at her if she does... What the hell is wrong with him?
I sure as hell am not going to chew off my baby finger nails because they will rip or tear or hurt him, but i cant get my boyfriend to let me cut the nails with nail cutters...any suggestions?...
