She is a breastfed baby and the problem happens when i give her solid food. I have tried water,diluted apple juice, leg exercises. should I be worried? Is this normal? Should I let it happen naturally or give her small shot of warm water in the bum?

I've heard good and bad about bumpers in the crib. Do they serve a purpose, or are they there strictly for asthetic reasons? I've also heard they are a suffocation hazard. Any truth to either of these rumors? Any help appreciated.

She is 9 months old and is mostly eating all "real" food.
Anything she can pick up and put in her mouth. She is not a real big fan of the pureed stuff anymore, though she will eat it.
I have given her some stuff just wondering what else is good.
Things i have given her:
toast with butter and with jelly,
pancakes, french toast,
hamburger, chicken, cut up veggies(soft) cheerios, chicken noodles, all the gerber snacks, ravioli, hot dog(small pieces)
scrambled eggs(doc said okay)
what else can i give at this age that will be easy for her to pick up and eat?
also i read cheese but do you just use the big block cheese and cut into squares or string cheese or shredded?
THANKS so much in advance!!

btw-this is my 2nd baby but with my first she was in daycare 5 days/week for 2 out of 3 meals so they just fed her most things and then i knew it was okay =D

What steps did u take? did u do it gradually or just jump straight to the milk? also did u give added vitamins or no? I am switching her because WIC is going to Similac and theres no kind of formula close to the enfamil kind she has now. Plus if i switch her to similac in 3 months, she'd be on milk in 3 more months.....just seems like alot of switching to me.

i belive in babies having routine.. if you don't, please don't asnwer this question.. i want answers that agree with my way of parenting..




he's 4 months and is able to go 4 hours between feeds. and play 2 - 2 1/2 hours before needing a nap. So i want to establish a routine where he'll eat, play, then sleep untill he's hungry again. This will work out perfect will the hours of sleep he requires during the day.. One problem.. he only takes 45 minutes naps.. then is cranky after an hour... Any suggestions on a different routine that don't require feeding before nap?

when i put him back to sleep after that 45 mins ( with alot of crying ) he'll wake up when hungry and is much more happy baby and our day is so smooth when i stick to this.. i would love to make it work.. but i can't change his catnapping habit

It's the normal yellow-ish color, but i'm just wondering if the liquid part is ok? And her stools are also producing stinky odors. She is Colic, and whenever she passes gas, it usually involves the smell and liquid poop....can anyone relate?

I have seen some water bugs in my house and they are freakin me out..yes I know I am a sissy :) But I have a 9 week old baby and would like to set off a bomb this weekend, upstairs and down. If I set it off at noon and come home around 9:00 should they be enough time to air out so that it will not harm my son?

My friend and I are sending out my baby shower invitations and I want to know if it is rude to put where I am registered in the invitation? Should I wait till they call to RSVP to tell them? Need advice please. Thank you.

This almost disconcerts me (although I know this is my problem! lol)

Although I accept milk is a food, babies are so clearly DRINKING! I find it really weird to think of my baby 'eating' when i am breastfeeding! eeeww. Puts all sorts of weird pictures in my head that most certainly are not happening when my baby FEEDS.

Bottle or boob, they really are drinking, so how come everyone (U.S?) says 'eat'??

We're expecting our first baby in December. I was wondering if anyone knows whether babies sleep through this sort of noise or what?

My thinking was that the baby would be too disturbed by it all but then I read that babies sleep through anything...

I hate to move because we're planning on getting a house in September of next year anyhow...

Oh, I reported my upstairs neighbors one day and a lady from the office came to her apartment. Ever since, it's been a wee bit quieter but they don't talk to me so when I hear banging that sounds like a meteor hit the building, I feel too uncomfortable to say anything to her.

Thanks.

I have an 8 week old who I've been exclusively breastfeeding. Recently, past 2 days, I've noticed that while nursing my son seems very figity. He's always moving back and forth, turning his head and pulling at my nipple a lot. He has a good latch, his mouth is around almost the whole areola and his lips are curled out. I thought that it might have been because my milk wasn't coming but when I pull him off to check my milk is literally squirting out. What could be the problem? He doesn't seem to have gas or anything like that. Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be that the flow is too fast for him and he needs time to catch up with himself?

I have a son, 2 years old and not circumcised. I see a strong favor towards circumcision on many web sites, hence am planning to get him circumcised. Do you consider it a good idea to do it now?

I recently noticed milk in the tubing of my breast pump. I followed the directions for cleaning in the manuel (warm soapy water) then placed it in a steam sterilizer. The tubing is no longer clear. It has taken on a cloudy appearance. It this ok? Should I still use it? I was also thinking about purchasing new tubing at a pet store. They sell it for fish tanks, but I doubt it's sterile.

Has any1 else had this issue? She eats every 3hrs. How can I get her to eat more in one sitting so I can increase the time b/w her feedings or should I just leave her alone? Advice/Opinions. Thanks

My 9 mont hold son has recently started to dislike baby food.... its a matter of he doesnt liek the mush i think. I feed him stage 3 dinners because they have the chunks in it, he likes that but there are only a few with chunks, and i cant keep deeding him the same thing. Also putting our food in a processor probably wont work either because u wants the chunks right? What can i feed him for dinner or lunch food that we eat? I give him some rice and noodles cut up real small and he likes that but he only has 2 front teeth he cant chew much or meat for that matter.

I just had my baby girl a week ago, we found out she had high levels of Bilirubin. We were told to feed more often and more to help get them out of her system. Now she is doing better, but we were told we are over feeding her. They said to just take the bottle away after 2oz (she has been eating almost 4oz). But its so hard to watch her yell because she is still hungry. Anyone have any ideas?
