I'm trying to figure out what's cheaper. I use 5.00 off coupons on the 25.7oz can and it lasts a week. Today I bought a quart and did an "experiment" the quart made 6 bottles which lasts a day and I got the quart for.47 cent because using the coupon. So in the long run what would be cheaper?

Whenever I read posts on this, I'm amazed to find out how many people put blankets in baby's crib, turn car seats forward before age 1, put cereal in bottles, offer high-allergen foods too early, and so on and so on.
What rules have you or are you breaking?

My baby girl is a little over 4 months and weighs about 13 lbs and is 25in. She is in daycare and I nurse her in the mornings, evenings, night and during my lunch hour. She takes 2 4.5oz bottles (expressed milk)from her day care provider. So in all she is getting exclusive breastmilk at least 6 times a day somedays 8 (she might get up twice at night). My question is that when I go in during my lunch break and in the evenings after coming home, she wants to nurse for over an hour. She sleeps at the breat while actively sucking! Is that normal. When she gets up in the middle of the night she will only drink from one breast and generally for 10-15 minutes only. Is she getting enough milk. She does have 4-6 wet diapers and at least one poopy diaper per day. I guess she must be getting enough but just wanted to know from other moms if they have seen this wildly different nursing times. She is in the average percentile for weight.

I've heard that there are certain foods like peanuts that babies should not eat because it can result in getting them sick? I'd like to know some of the foods to avoid. Thanks.

My grandma says that it means the baby is trying to make room for someone else, usually a younger sibling. Is this fact or fiction in your experience?

Has anyone had experiences (good/bad) with taking their infant on a beach vacation? My husband and I are thinking about taking our baby (he will be 5-months by then) to Mexico for a week. We will stay at an all-inclusive resort. Thoughts, anyone?

Out of all the women who are or did nurse and drink alcohol, how much did you drink? a few drinks once a month? A drink here and there every week? A drink a day?

Also, were there any noticable side effects? Did you talk to your Dr about it?

THIS IS LONG,SORRY.
So I have an 11 month old daughter and I still cant get her to sleep in her crib!. I know it is our fault for not having her sleep in there months ago, but she never slept well in there (she woke up every hour not able to go back to sleep) so for my convenience Ive had her sleeping in her bouncy chair the whole time. The problem is shes getting too big for the chair now,(its almost touching the floor) and we would like to have some privacy. We tried to put her in the crib for 3 nights in a row. The first night she slept for 6 hours straight, which I thought was great, the second night she slept for about 2 hours shraight and I tried for 3 hours to get her to get back to sleep and she screamed like Ive never heard before, and the third night she wouldnt sleep in it at all and she was pretty much hyperventalating she was crying so hard. she seems like shes petrified of the crib now and I dont know what to do now. Please someone help me figure this out. thanks!

My baby is 14 weeks old. I started out breastfeeding but I had to switch him over to Similac w/ Iron. His poop has never changed. It's still kind of loose and he poops at least 5 times a day or more. He is gaining weight and has no other issues. Pedia says to leave him on it but I am paranoid because my other son has a milk allergy and was on soy. I don't really want to switch my baby over to soy because that constipates but I just don't think his poo is normal for a formula fed baby. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

i have been thinking my dd has been waking up through the night due to teething. Then i read that between 6 and 10 months, if baby who normally sleeps through the night peacefully suddenly begins to wake up at night crying, that it is probably caused by seperation anxiety. Sooo that said...
she been waking up screaming at night, and because she can stand up and move around she gets to amused and cant put herself back to sleep.

I need to know what to do?

Should i be picking her up? Or should i let her cry herself back to sleep so she can find ways to sooth herself?

Please give any advice possible!!!THANKS

I was just wondering if you could only breast feed you baby through pumping and pumping only. My baby has problems getting the milk out as fast as she wants it. So I get bruised and she gets upset. I've waited the whole six weeks thing and nothing has gotten better...if anything it's gotten worst. Just wondering.

I need some encouragement. My son will be 3 weeks old tomorrow, he is my first, and I feel like i am gonna go crazy. Some days are better than others, but i have found it very hard to adjust to being a mom. I never could have imagined how hard it was gonna be! I feel so anxious and worried and tired. Will it get better? When? Sometimes i find myself thinking that i wish we would have waited a couple more years.. Please im looking for someone who felt the same way as i do-- like you were gonna go crazy from no sleep, having a fussy baby, and missing your life before baby... Encouraging words needed!! I feel like everyday is a week. This has been the longest 3 weeks of my life! Help

I just stoped breastfeeding my baby. I did that gradually, so both the baby and I would have a smooth transition. Last week I was breastfeeding every two days and now that I finally quit (This is the 3rd day without breastfeeding) my breasts are engorged and sore, especially inside the nipple area. Is that normal for the nipples to feel like there are little rocks underneath them? What can I do to help the engorgement and soreness? What's going to happen to this "left over" milk inside my breasts? HELP!
