What is the minimum age/weight/length for an infant to face forward in their car seat? And is it which ever comes first or all three have to meet the minimum?

I'm having a discussion about the "right" way to play Pat-a-Cake.

Do you clap on each beat of the song:
Pat- (clap) a- cake, pat (clap) -a-cake, bake- (clap) ers man (clap)

Or do you clap on each syllable:
Pat- (clap) a-(clap) cake (clap), Pat- (clap) a-(clap) cake (clap), bake- (clap) ers (clap) man (clap)

Just wondering which way is more common?

I am a little confused about what to do? My 4 month old son always starts crying when my husband picks him up. I know it really hurts my husband's feelings and I just don't know what to do about it. My son is really attached to me a lot and my husband is in the military and was away for a while, he also works long hours and isn't home enough to really bond with him. Has anyone else ever experienced this and what can I do to help the two bond better? I have tried showing my husband ways to comfort him and to calm him but my son has his own mind that he wants mommy only and nothing to do with daddy. Tips with an experienced parent who has been through this would be appreciated!!!!

My daughter is two months old and has to have a sono done to determine if she has two kidneys because she had only two blood vessels in the umbilical cord. My sister-in-law said they may do this as a renal sono. Is this what they do to determine this? No one told me what to expect!!???!!

My daughter has slept in the bassinet part of the playpen for the first 8 weeks now that she is sleeping through the night I want to put her in the crib but she always cries until I put her in the bassinet (playpen). Why does she do this? What can I do? My mom said it is because she is used to the small space of the playpen and then she is getting moved to a bigger space and doesnt like it. Is that true?

My daughter is 8 weeks old and started smiling at about 7 weeks. She doesnt smile very often every once in a while. Will she start smiling more and more every day or is this one of the things that a baby will do then stop for a while the start doing it again?

I change my son often and he's exclusively breastfed and almost everytime he poops he has huge blowouts!!! It's just soooo miuch.

Also when is it going to stop being so obvious when he poops. I mean I never had this problem with my daughter she was formula fed and I never heard her poop. With my son it's way too obvious. I can hear it across the whole house. It's so loud. Especially when we're out it gets kind of embarrassing!! Haha, is it always going to sound like that?

My son is 9 months old and still breastfed.

I haven't had a period yet but today I've had a bit of brown spotting, the first sign of anything I've seen since I gave birth! Could this be my cycle slowly returning to normal?

my mother in law says not to take him the pool, but he loves it, it is not a public pool so there are no nasty germs from strangers and the clorine doesnt bother his skin...have you heard anything about not taking infants in a pool? (he is seven weeks old).

Usually my girlfriend and I will be in her room with my son Carter and we would do anything to make him laugh but the thing is we always have to do something. When her parents come in his eyes just get brighter and he gets all giddy and starts laughing but yet all they do is either look at him or just talk to him. I was wondering why is he laughing more at them than my girlfriend and I? Is it because he sees us all the time so when he sees someone different he gets excited? It only happens when they come into our room standing at the door but when they take care of him he comes back to normal. What is the reason?

Ok, this is strange. The last few weeks my baby has been always fussy....colic stage...so I have been in the habit of taking her temp alot just incase she is fussing for something else. Always its in the normal range 36.4 to -38 degrees celius or 97.5 to 100.4 degrees fahrenheit for a baby 0-2 months. (she is just over two months but the next bracket in my booklet for temps says 3-10 months and because she is not yet 3months I'm still looking at the first bracket.
She has always been in the normal range but today... she was below...not by much. I have a laser digital thermometer that you take in the ear and today I tool it 3 times, and it was 35.6, 35.7, 35.8 ok, its a fraction below normal but here is the thing. Why below? I am living in the middle of a heat wave here in Greece! And also her normal temp history is a degree above those readings.
Ok, new mum here, we're always paranoid... tell me this is ok?

Ok forgot to mention that I've been nursing her with a cold..
