Newborn & Baby - July 2007

Is it safe to buy baby formula off eBay? Of course, assuming it's sealed and before expiration. My son was just switched to Alimentum and it's $$$$. Yes, I know breast is best. That's not an option right now. Leave it at that.

I had my son fifteen months ago, and even though I had a difficult pregnancy (morning sickness, high blood pressure), difficult labor (cesarean), and am so exhausted with just one child at only fifteen months old. Why in the world do I have the urge to do it all over again and have another baby. It's like my biological clock is ticking, I want another baby so bad, but why? Has anyone got any advice maybe someone can talk some sense in me?

Where I can purchase Huggies diapers in bulk for a low price?
I went to the grocery store today to buy diapers, and they had raised the price by almost $6 since the last time I had bought them! I looked on amazon and eBay, but their prices were either around the same as in retail stores, or the shipping was OUTRAGEOUS!

Oh I wish my son could wear generic diapers!

I'm not that much of a germa-phobe, but that dog's mouth has been everywhere.. and before you say dogs mouths are cleaner than ours.. No they are not.. New research has debunked that myth..
This particular dog licks his butt.. and tries to pick fleas from his fur.. How can that be cleaner than us!?

Anyhow, how can I be nice but still tell them to keep their little dirty dog AWAY from my baby..

I have an 8 month old. She has oatmeal every morning for breakfast, but lately she's been "chewing" her food (even though there's nothing there to chew). So...I'm thinking about trying some new foods. I was wanting opinions about scrambled eggs so she could have some variety. When did you start feeding your baby scrambled eggs, and how did you cook them? (i.e. did you use butter and milk?)

I am planning on breast feeding but my mother in law just raised a very good point that should I run into problems I should have at least one can around so I or someone else doesn't have to run out at 3 am or find an open store on a holiday. This is probably the one area I haven't really read up about yet. So ladies who use formula, which brand do you prefer? Also, how long does an unopened tin stay good for, and how do you store, how long do you keep an opened tin for?

Thanks!!

I pump and give her Similac, she used to poop every feeding; now all of a sudden she hasn't gone since 3:30 yesterday afternoon! She grunts and looks uncomfortable...what will help her? We saw the doctor today and she poked and prodded at her with a thermometer and nothing happened. What is the next step. I read that it is normal that babies don't go for days at a time, but I can't stand to see her like this! Please somebody!

i'll be returning to work in 4 weeks and i haven't really established a good been supply yet. my 8 week old eats about 3-4 ounces at each feeding but i only pump about 2-3 during the day and in the morning i can pump about 4-5 ounces. these pumping would be if i am pumping out of both breasts. so out of one it will be half that. its hard for me to get pumping time in because my newborn is always demanding to feed. when should i start pumping to start a supply? i've used the pumped milk for my husband to feed him so i can at least take a shower and eat or even use the bathroom. is it possible to continue breastfeeding for a whole year after returning to a job that i will be away from him for at least 9 hours a day for 5 days out of the week? please tell me your experience on this. thank you!

Why isn't there a mod or something? Some of the questions here shouldn't even be here. They are taking up the space and placement for questions that actually belong in this category and there are a lot of questions that are just from people being asses. Yahoo! should really do something to revamp this whole Yahoo! Answers

Here is my dilema. I have been off work for 1 year. I started mat. leave early due to illness. So my little girl is only 10 months old. I start work tomorrow.
I am really sad about it. I cry thinking about not being here to feed her lunch, putting her down for naps...and so on. I just cannot get over the feelings of guilt that I am having...now the only GOOD thing, is that my Mother will be looking after her. She loves my Mother to pieces. So I know that she will be looked after, loved and probably spoiled...
I went through a really tough time after I had my little girl and was told I was not allowed to have any more children...could this be why I feel so guilty...I wont get a chance to have another baby so I want to do things right this time...or are these feelings PERFECTLY normal...I am only going to be working part-time...
I just want her to be happy and ok with me not being home all the time...HELP HELP HELP...lol lol

I think my 5 month baby is teething. He's drooling a lot. He is also starting to get a little fussy and when I give him a cooled teething ring, he gets really happy chewing on it. I read online that many moms gave their babies "Baby Tylenol" during the teething period. How do you know when your baby needs the baby tylenol? I also read about the frozen washcloths. Does the washcloth melt and get the baby all wet? Just wondering....I haven't tried it yet. Thanx for any advice. =)

I accidentally bought barely starter cereal in the store instead of rice cereal for my 6 month old son. They had the same packaging and I was distracted. He has just started eating rice cereal 2 days ago, but they were sample packages and we ran out. He also has been strictly breastfed until then and I am currently breastfeeding as usual. I was wondering when can I start feeding him this barely cereal? (since I cannot take it back to the store because I threw out the receipt). He does seem to be very sensitive to things and even though it is a starter cereal I was worried he wouldn’t be ready quite yet for this. Anyways sorry for writing so much! Any help would be appreciated thanks!

My daughter is 3 months old and for 2 months now we have been letting her watch tv because it calms her down? She watches it for 3 or 4 hours a day. I have read that it can cause A D D or Autism...and I was just wondering if this was true or not? Anyone know if this could be harmful?
