Newborn & Baby - August 2007

I'd like to start watching infants/toddlers in my home. Max number of kids-- 3. I'd only except kids aged 0-2. It'd be in my home. I'm experienced with references and child/infant CPR/First Aid certified. I live in Ft. Hood Tx. How much should I charge per infant? And what kinds of equipment should I have on hand before I even advertise? Thanks in advance

I am kinda paranoid I guess you would call it because I am only 14 and trying to be as good as a mom I can be. She is 4 weeks old and every since last week I made this chart type thing that says: Ate Wet Dirty How long she cried & start to end of crying How long she slept- start to end.
Would you call this weird or am I doing a good job? I always took them to her doctor every week (she had a doctor appt every week since she was born) and he says its great because it answers all of his questions.

My sons PKU test came back abnormal. The nurse said it could be because he was underweright when he was born, but he was 7lbs, and perfectly healthy. Has anyone ever had an abnormal test, and then have it come back again OK? Should I be worried?

I've started to potty train my 11 month old to do number 1 on a potty. He does number 2 on the potty since 5 months. I want to finish training before the summers end. The thing is that he sometimes goes every 15 minutes, sometimes nothing for hours.
Anyone has experience doing it? I know that some of you may think this is too early. But seriously, before there were diapers we were trained by our 1st year. plus training them 1 year earler really hepls the environment, since it saves like 2000 diapers.

I am due with my first baby in 5 weeks and was just wondering... I read that many babies don't mind the bottle being room temp. and that if you don't ever start giving the bottle to them warm, they never know the difference. sure would be easier

My daughter is 4 months old, and I am exclusively breastfeeding. In the beginning I stored a lot of breast milk in the freezer as backup for when I returned to work. I have been working for a month and a half. At first my baby took the thawed breast milk just fine but then began to refuse it. I discovered that the thawed milk does not smell the same as the fresh and kind of smells like spoiled milk. I am frustrated by this because I have read that frozen breast milk should last for several months, but even the milk I have frozen for less than a month smells spoiled when thawed ( I am thawing it by placing the bags it is stored in in warm water). Has this happened to anyone else? Why is my milk not staying good as long as it is supposed to frozen?

I want to start my baby on whole milk. She is 2 weeks away from being one year old. I have heard that you are not suppose to give whole milk to a baby until their 1st birthday but....can 2 weeks really make a diffrence?

I would also like to know if any of you started your baby on whole milk before their 1st Birthday.

Thanks!

carry out the procedure? Is it the OB or will the family doctor or somebody else do it? Do they medicate the baby or apply some kind of topical pain meds? Is it hard to take care of afterwards? How long till it heals? Does it hurt him bad and bother him afterwards?
