She's had a runny nose since week 3, and she sneezes and coughs regularly. It's significantly worst at night. My husband and I both have allergies, so genetics are probably not helping. Sometimes the poor dear will choke on her mucus- how can I help her?

Her baby is 7 month old and she sleeps with her because the baby doesnt cry if she gets to sleep with her mother.
This all started because the baby was really colicy for about the 1st 3-4 months. Now the baby still cries unless she gets to sit on her moms lap or is being held. No one else works, she has to be with her mom.
Her mom sleeps with her now because she cries if they put her in her own crip. I told her its a terrible idea. I told her she needed to let her get used to her own crib. Is it me or is this baby learning to cry to manipulate her mom?

I would like to introduce a spoon to my daughter so she can eat things like soup, or breakfast cereal. Is there any best way to go about it? I don't want her to expect me to spoon feed her at every meal!!

She is nine months old.

How young is too young IYO? I ask because I'm 21 and have a 6 month old I've been extremely lucky in being able to stay home and my landlord has been extremely good to us, my husband works for her husband. My husband is 32 and is a good provider I still feel like people judge me because of those two things my age and my husbands age. I feel so blessed and love being a mom honestly it was sooner than I tought but I felt ready and was extremely lucky that I got pregnant on our first try. My son has changed my life around and I never could have imagined loving someone so much. How do you feel? How old were you when you had your first child and did you plan or did it just happen? What are your thoughts on being a mother?

My wife went to the WIC center, and i guess they stopped issuing the Similac baby formula checks and opted to go with Infamil baby formula. Any input? Is Infamil a good brand or as good or better then Similac? Thank you.

Alright I asked a question similar but didn't really get any response. My baby ate 12 oz. of milk and 6 oz. of water (which the doctor told me I could give him water) in a 2 hour time period, and then he'll be starving again in 3 hours. My doctor said not to feed him more than 6 oz. every feeding but he acts like he is starving with only 6 oz. Do you think it hurts him for him to eat that much?

second day back and i just told my supervisor "i'm still going to be here, i'm just going to close my door so i can pump." her reaction and my other's co-workers' reactions were all of surprise... like they think it's weird. i guess it kind of is to think that your co-worker is in the next office "milking" herself. what was your experience and how would you feel about your co-worker pumping at work (i work with women... or only tell the women that i'm closing my door to pump.) thanks =D

My daughter is almost 2 weeks old and she normally feeds about every two hours for the most part. But sometimes she seems to want to nurse for HOURS on end!! Last night I nursed her from 10 until 2am until she finally went to sleep and today I nursed her good at noon but everytime I held her or set her down she always was looking for my breast! What gives?

Do I keep nursing her? Or do I let her cry or what? I know she's getting plenty to eat, my milk supply is good and she's a good nurser and she has PLENTY of poopy and wet diapers. What's up with this???

There is so much recent evidence today that baby walkers are so bad for babies development. They actually delay walking, not encourage it, and they result in many more referrals to physiotherapists for walking problems, including walking on tip toes. They are also dangerous as an immobile baby is suddenly given wheels and speed, without the developmental maturity to deal with her environment.

The same goes for baby door bouncers. Both are sadly used too often as passive babysitters.

The best place for babies to learn to walk is lying on the floor. There he can roll around and learn to explore his environment safely, using the right muscles at the right time in his development. Why are some people still putting their babies in these things and expecting them to use muscles that are just not ready yet. I suspect due to lack of info.

Why also, I have to ask, are these things still sold in the shops, given the mounting evidence.

My brother and sister in law had their first child prematurely at 24 weeks. They named her Anabelle Grace, and she was absolutely gorgeous. However, she only weighed 11oz, and passed away after 3 rough days (last Friday). Of course im sad about it, because it was my neice, but thats not what im asking about. Im wondering how i face my bro and sil. I dont want to smother them, but dont want them to feel isolated either. I feel so akward around them because i dont know if i should talk about her, or try to keep their minds off of her. What do i do?

I'm 33 weeks along and I am debating on breastfeeding. I really want to because its so much healthier for the baby but my husband has his own concerns. He's worried that my boobs are going to change and that they won't ever look the same again. He also fears that because of that he "won't be attracted to me." I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem before, how you handled it, and do your boobs look normal after you stop breastfeeding?

Which method do/did you use?
Which is best out of microwave and steam?
I know with the (avent) steam one you have to descale it regularly with citric acid, do you have to do it with the microwave one too?
Can you buy the satchets anywhere, from mothercare to boots?
Does 3 4oz and 5 9oz baby bottles seem enough to you? Only reason was because i was told they end up drinking more than 4oz quickly so i decided to buy more bigger bottles to save money.
Thanks

All the books and experts seem to say that the average 5-month old baby needs about 14 hours of sleep per day. My 5-month daughter will only sleep 12 hours per day, no matter what I do. (She sleeps 3 hours of naps and 9 hours at night). Also, she acts sleepy (rubbing her eyes, yawning, fussing) all day long - even within only an hour of waking up from a nap. Is it normal for her to act tired all the time? I try to make her nap more often but she fights it, and if I try to put her to bed earlier she just wakes up earlier and won't go back to sleep.

Right now this is her sleep schedule: 5am, wake up for day. 9-10:30am first nap. 2:30-4pm second nap. 8pm bedtime.

I hate seeing her so tired and trying to keep her going for 4 hours between sleeps, but if I put her down after 3 hours she will fight the nap for another hour anyway.

Any suggestions?
