Newborn & Baby - September 2007

My 6 mo old baby girl sweats like carzy but only on her head.Her hands and legs feel cold but she is dripping wet on her hair every time she sleeps and I am so confused whether to cover her or not!
Is this normal?

I live in midlands ireland. Our maternity ward is disgraceful. Three beds in a tiny room. Two of these beds are on same side of room and the wheelie cots are beside each other. The midwives are understaffed. They are going on strike because of this. We cater for our own county and all the surrounding ones too. The birth rate has shot up to an amazing level because of the foreign nationals moving to the country. The same midwives work the maternity ward and labour ward. If there are a few women in labour, no midwives or nurses to be there for women who have already given birth. Practically no after birth care. Never mind help with breastfeeding. I had a visit from my health visitor once and that was it. I am now on my second pregnancy and wish I had the 2000 euro, about £1700 to go private. Im dreading it. We dont get a first scan til 20 weeks or after. No hospital app before then even. How is your pregnancy care and hospital? Ireland is not the 3rd world, it shouldnt be so bad.

When I make a bottle for my son the recipe says add 1 scoop for 2 oz. So I add three scoops for 6 oz. It actually makes almost 7 1/2 oz when it is all said and done. My son is supposed to have 16 oz a day. She calculates a bottle as 6 oz and I calculate it as 7 1/2 oz. If I bought it premade I would only pour 6 oz into the bottle NOT 7 1/2 oz. Of course she says that I over analyze everything...I just like to do things right. If I am wrong,so be it...I just like to at least try to follow the directions as they were given by the doctor.

am very upset. My son is such a good little baby, but over the past month he has not been himself lately. The right side of his face is much larger then the left and his eye is so swollen. I have taken him to 4 different doctors and they all said "we thinks" and "maybes" and noone can tell me anything. They all make it seem normal and like im paranoid. Over the past three days hes actually been vommiting ( not spitting up) 5 + times and hes been very fussy,not like him at all. He had another eye doctor appointment today and his eye looked awful. They spent 10 minutes and took three flash photos (all at the childrens hospital) and told me his eye was swollen (duh) and his lip was droopy (duh) and a bunch of other stuff I already knew. I was sitting holding my son when I heard the docs mention his name and saying that they found a little something in the pictures, but they didnt think that it was that big of a deal to do anything with. This has ben going of for weeks. Help. am i crazy

our 4 months daughter started refusing to drink formula from the bottle. She only acceps her moms breast. She can even till the difference between the formula bottle and the water bottle(she will drink water from the water bottle). So we put the formula in the water bottle, however as soon as she knows its formula in the water bottle she stops feeding. Now she only acceps her mom breast or water from the water bottle .
can you please help?

My five week old son was born undiagnosed breech vaginal feet first. he did not breathe for 15 mins after birth. the doctors want me to get an mri but i am not sure, they cannot do anything if he does have brain damage, and he will have to have a general anastetic. I am trying to watch his development to see if any damage. He is now five weeks and sleeps a lot most of the day, and he isnt smiling yet, he is my third but i cannot remember if this is normal. should he be more alert and smiling?

Just wanted ti say thank you to everyone who not only helped me through my pregnancy but also now in the past 5 weeks since as my daughter has been born. Its been a bit of a bumpy rise, through the post natal depression but I am happy to say that I am feeling alot better. Still have my off days but as she grows, so does my love for her. She actually started sleeping better.. was alert for most of the day yesterday and maybe slept for around 2 hrs but then slept from 12 30 1am ish til 06am. She did fuss about 03 30am, but we persevered , making sure she wasnt hungry adn changed her nappy. It might be a one off but its a step inthe right direction! So thanks to all who have answered questions and helped!x

Our baby girl is now 3 months old and likes to move a lot now. She like to be pulled gently from a horizontal position to a sitting position. My wife is horrified at me for this, saying it is bad for girls to sit, and that they should always be lying down or in an angled position if sitting. She of course says he mother, her grandmother, her mother doctor's friends, even her brother tell her this. I have never heard it, or even seen it written in any book, but then again, I'm male, so what do I know. Of course I'm listening to her but it seems to me that by not letting the baby sit up, is stopping her develop her back. Please any answers or references to this would be appreciated. Thanks.

our 10 months vomits her food shortly after and sometimes during feeding.ive tryed various foods but no cure.its not every time but i get a little concerned when she does. shes been on solids for over 4 months and only in the past few days has she started doing this.could it be a sign of teething as she is also pushing the bottle away?i must add that we were on a 13 hr flight about 10 days ago and could it be a delayed reaction of jet lag?she is not losing weight and filling her nappy regularly.if anybody has solutions to this problem then i would love to hear from them.

I don't get it. Sometimes he falls asleep at 8:00pm and other nights it's not until 10:00pm. I try putting him in his crib with a bottle and read a story and play his music however it doesn't always work. I know he is tired because like a idoit I take him out of his crib when he screams and he's rubbing his eyes and isn't interested in playing with his toys. If i'm in the room with him he just stands in his crib and looks at me and either crys, laughs or jumps. So many other moms i have talked with have said their child is on a schedule and sleeps at 8:00pm every night. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!!

I am currently expressing from both breasts and feeding the milk to my 3week old son 3 ounces with a bottle. He seems to get hungry (voracious) every 2 hrs or so and his stools have changed from yellow cottage cheese consistency to a mustardish runny poo which he does with a big passing of wind at almost every feed. He is gaining weight really well. Is this normal?
