Newborn & Baby - August 2007

I went to a baby shower once and they had pacifers made out of butter cookies and I think Dots gummy candy. I can't remember what the else was attached to it. Help me, I'm trying to help plan a baby shower.

My husband and I deal in gems and minerals, and have been attending an outdoor gem and mineral show in the NC Mountains. We have a Tent (10x10 vending tent) set up which is really shady and 2 fans blowing. It has gotten up to around 80-85 degrees in mid afternoon, and I have had my 3 month old daughter with us. She seems fine... No sweat or red cheeks, just a little more sleepy than usual. I also take her into an A/C car to nurse. Some of the older people keep telling me it's too hot out here for her and to take her home.My hubbies aunt is a pediatric nurse. She says it's OK. Please give me your input. (We put her portable swing under the tent too... She seems fine.

My son is 2 weeks and 4 days old and has been nursing for the last 5 hrs. with no break! he SCREAMS when I remove him from the boob .. and I feel like I'm going to pass out! I'm starving (I had dinner with him on the nipple! and I'm hungry again!)
he hasn't taken any naps and here it is midnite and he's still on my nipple eating and NOT sleeping!
Is this normal?
I know the milk is coming out adequetly because when he falls asleep the milk leaks out of his mouth.
Is he just getting a growth spurt????
Is this normal???
and also, why am I so hungry while he nurses?? Is it burning calories when he eats? or just when I'm making more milk?

How long do these growth spurts last that he's going to need to have my nipple in his mouth 24/7???
It's my first baby ...
thanks!

**also, he just got weighed on Monday and the doctor said he's gaining the right amount of weight.

My son is 5 weeks old. He is strictly breastfed. And it'a working well from the beginning. I feed him whenever he wants fed. But, recently it seems like when he's awake he is CONSTANTLY hungry. While awake he'll lay and look around and be content but literally within 15 minutes he's fussing to be fed. I can use the pacifier and that's worked well but it only satisfies him so long. So, then I feed him on a boob for 15 minutes. When he seems fine and refuses to open his mouth I burp him and he acts like he's not hungry. Then, while still awake from before he gets fussy within another 15 minutes. Ok, then I give him the other boob for another 15 minutes and this continues pretty much all day for his awake time. I know he doesn't have a poopy or peed up diaper and I gave him gas drops to ensure he wasn't fussing over a hurt tummy. Other than that, I can understand why it always seems like he wants to feed....what am I doing wrong? I know I have milk.

With my first son (now 9 mo.) I formula feed him, I am now having a second (due in sept) even with wic I still don't like that me and my husband could aford formula for both my 9 mo. old I have to buy 2 of the larger cans a month more than what wic gives him.

I know breast feeding is a better choice health and money wise but I don't know if I will be comfertable with doing so? Also I don't know if I could even breast feed my mom never could she tried with me but she could not make enough so the doctor told her to just use formula? Have any advise for me?

My 13 month old daughter will not eat ANYTHING except Alphaghetti and her morning Heinz cereal. She won't eat baby food, she won't eat people food. The only thing I can get her to eat more than 2 mouthfuls of is Alphaghetti and I really don't want her to eat that for lunch and dinner every day.

She'll take her whole milk just fine, but that can't be filling her up! I'm afraid she's hungry all the time.

Is there a food out there that ALL babies like? What can I feed her that she will eat?? I've tried everything...other pastas to sandwiches to hot dogs to those Gerber TV dinners.... I don't know what else to do!

this is not a slam the formula feeders question so please nice answers from experienced moms only no rude comments.... did you feel liberated the first time you breastfed in a public place? I only recently did this week we were covered with a recieving blanket but I walked through the mall and walmart and felt very proud of being able to do so without my modesty or fear of rejection taking over I latched on in a fitting room as I feel that part is a bit revealing just my opinion.thanks for any stories ..........

Two weeks ago i started giving my 4 month old rice cereal. I am wondering if it is ok to start letting her try new foods, and if so which ones? I know i should wait about a week in between new foods to see if there is an alergic reaction, but after onlytwo weeks of rice cereal can she try other foods?

He is currently eating:
28 oz of formula a day and 7 oz of baby food.
Is it time to drop another bottle and add dinner and up his food to 9 oz a day or just leave it the way it is?
