I was just answering someone else question and was doing a search trying to find a superyard gate. I didn't know what it was called so I entered 'baby cage' in the search engine, thinking it sounded ridiculous, but i didn't know what else to call it. i came upon this website and was shocked!!!! Is this a sick joke?! it looks legit from what I read, I'm just so sickened by this. At first I laughed thinking it was a joke, maybe by some extreme animal rights group, but I think this site is real!! This is totally child abuse!!

My 2month old cries all the time. SHe can never just sit there awake she has to be held all the time or be in her vibrating bouncer and being bounced my me. She wont sleep in her crib at all. When she falls asleep she instantly wakes up when she's placed in her crib. I have tried a baby swing, baby carrier, and rocking her in the rocking chair. Even riding in the car doesnt help. SHe also never sleeps and she has colic. I have given her gripe water but that doesnt help. I have to sit up for hours bouncing her with my foot until it feels like its goin to fall off before she falls asleep. Is it really ok for her to sleep in her bouncer all the time? I find myself never wanting her to be awake and that makes me feel horrible. My arms ache from holding her too! I cant get no sleep or ne thing done. Help what do I do??? NOTHING WORKS, NOTHING! I cant even enjoy my daughter when shes awake. Plus she isnt at all on a schedule.

I breastfed for a week and a half, but I stopped because of the discomfort. It felt weird, and it hurt! My son's now one year old. Did he really miss out, or is breastfeeding overrated?

I cant get my 2month old to sleep without rocking her, putting her in her vibrating bouncer and bouncing it with my foot. The minute I set her in her crib no matter how long shes been asleep she wakes up and screams. I have tried the cry it out method but she could scream for hours! Everytime shes awake shes crying unless she is held. PLus she isnt at all on a schedule and she never sleeps at night. Help me I am desperate. What do I do? Not to mention she has colic and she's on gripe water too!

My baby is 2 months old and on formula. Her stool is dark green with yellow pieces. I have read that it could be the lactose in the milk, should I change to lactose free formula?

My son Andre sleeps through the night. Our problem is that he first has to fall asleep in our arms and then put him in his crib. I would like to let him cry it out but am not really sure of how the method works. The last two nights I put him in his crib sleepy and then the crying starts we let him cry for 10 minutes and then my husband has gone ina taken him out and he falls asleeop instantly. How long do you let them cry and when is it time to pick them out. He gets so upset and starts to gag and breathe as though choking. Doesn't this crying make it harder for him to fall asleep? His daytime naps are easier. I put him dowm today sleepy and just rubbed his bottom and he did fall asleep. The thing is that even in our arms he throws a hissy and it takes him a bit to calm down

I am a newmom and wonder by how old should we establish the routine wake-up time for the baby? My baby ( 5 weeks old) woke up around 6 or 7 or 8 a.m. Then she went back to sleep again till around 10-11. I mean if I want to change her clothes and sponge bath her to make it a morning ritual, should it be around 8 a.m or 10 a.m.?
By the way, is it necessary to do so (establlishing a routine wake-up time) for 5 weeks old baby? Thanks for all answers.
P.S. I don't mean it has to be exact specific time daily.

I know im gonna get negative responses but about 2 months ago i stopped taking my vitamins, I took them for the first four months, I am now 6. It doesnt matter what kind they are, even Flintstones, i throw up every time. I eat pretty well, tryingt o get as many veggies and protein as I can and the baby is always good at my appointments, and he moves a lot. do you think this will have any serious affects on my baby?? I mean women had babies before there were vitamins right? I just feel guilty, but I hate throwing them up?

sunday night my four month old had a slight low grade fever, we gave her tylenol and went to sleep for the night. that morning her fever spiked to 102.we brought her into the dr, he took a cbc and all was normal. her fever is now gone, since tuesday she will not eat. she takes a few sucks on the bottle then starts to scream. now when she sees the bottle, she starts to scream.

the dr says that she isnt dehydrated, but she is just getting enough to eat, she is at the margine basically.

the dr says its a virus, but i was wondering if it could be someting else?

anyone have this happen to them? or know what it may be?

shes been bottle feeding with enfamil lipil with iron for over 2 months and has never had any problems with it.

My baby will be 4 weeks on Saturday. Her sleeping schedule is usually pretty regular right now, she goes to bed around 9pm, wakes up around midnight for a feeding, again around 3-4, and again at 6. I'm wondering when your baby began sleeping for atleast 5-6 hours at a time or throughout the night? I know its early for me to even begin thinking about this fantasy lol, but I'd just like to know some stories. Thanks!

Has anyone ever used reusable diapers. At first it sounds good. But then I started thinking what if I'm out? I couldn't just stuff the used diaper in my diaper bag... ew. Then I was thinking maybe they should just be used for overnight or when you know you will only be at home. I just wanted to know how you used them and if you used only them or if you used both disposable and reusable. Thanks. Here's a site for the one's I'm looking at.

I had my first baby saturday, and im so scared and i feel like a terrible mother already. Some times i feel happy to be a mom and other times i cant stop crying. I also wanted to breastfeed and at times i like it and other times i wanna give up. And now because of my antidepressants i might stop breastfeeding so she doesnt get any of the drug in her, but i dont know if im making the right decision. I want whats best for her, and i dont know what that is. Is there anyway i can acctually like being a mom and stop crying? Im home alone with her most of the day and night, and my husband doesnt help out cause he is scared to even touch her thinking he will break her. And i wanted so bad to be a mom, and now that i am i find myself wishing i could go back in time. Is this normal after birth??
