Newborn & Baby - September 2007

I have already brought alot of pampers because I heard they are the best kind of diaper expecially for new borns and there skin...but for my babyshower even though I asked alot of people for pampers brand they brought me huggies. My question is how bad is it to swich diaper brands..Like once I run out of the pampers brand I have then us the huggies. Then once im all out of diapers start to use just one kind of diaper...im a first time mom so I have no idea what is what..thanks a bunch

So I just started feeding my baby cereal... which i know is supposed to help the baby eat less. But I feed him cereal twice a day... once in the morning and once before he goes to bed. But he still wants to eat every 2 hours, 8 oz. each feeding. I know he's hungry, not a diaper change or just wanting something to suck on. He makes it very clear when he's hungry and when it's something else. He was born big (9lbs. 11oz.) and he now weighs 13lbs 12oz. and he's always had a big appetite but still eating every 2 hrs after cereal seems like alot.

ok aubrey will be 7months this saturday the 22nd, she doesnt' sit up on her own but if we sit her up she'll sit there then roll to her side...she'll sit up for about 5min. then fall or get mad. she 's been rolling since she was 4 1/2 months got her two bottom teeth at 5months then just stopped getting and doing new things! when she lays on her stomach she'll kick like she's flying and push herself a little bit but wont put an knee up to crawl if we put her in a crwaling posistion she'll just fall over on her face. she has really strong legs whenever anyone plays with her if she can she will pull herslef up with the help of us and stand there by herself, we will have our hands hovering around her if she falls but most of the time she will stand on her own but still be leaning on something just to keep her in place. she just barely starting holding her own bottle like three weeks ago........is she slow in development or what??
am i just being worried over nothing??

I am due in 3 days (induction) so my question is I have a family reunion that in 2 weeks in the end of Sept, its outside and my newborn will prolly be about 2 weeks. Its almost fall so would she be okay if she was dressed properly and blankets and stuff, or is she not old enough to keep regular temperature and keep warm

When my 4 week old sleeps, her little head becomes soaked with sweat. I dont overdress her, and the central air keeps the house at a comfortable temperature. The rest of her body stays dry..its just her head that perspires...?? Im worried having a wet head will make her sick...any ideas why this is? is it normal?

Every morning I wake up and have cereal for breakfast., well not every morning, but most of the time. Afterwards, I feel sick. At first I thought it could be the wheaties, but then I tried cheerios, fruitloops, yogurt cheerios and then cinnamon toast crunch,..it tastes good when its in my mouth, but when im done, my stomach doesnt seem to agree. What could the problem be. Im not lactose intolerant..i drink milk alone and nothing happens..Im 21 weeks pregnant...

05 camry. i know many of you own britax carseats. what kind of car do you have and does it fit well, or do you have to position your seat really close to the steering wheel in order for it to have enough room? and when did you put the carseat in the front facing position since it can be rear facing til 35lbs? do you have experience with the car seat not fitting in your car at all? my husband has a 00 mustang, do you think a britax would fit in it? what kind of foreward facing car seat would you suggest for a smaller car?

My 3 month old son has been really showing a preference for his left hand. He reaches out for things with his left hand. He mostly always puts his left fist in his mouth. Does this mean he'll be a lefty? I know it's a bit early, but so far he's showing a left sided preference....

I gave my baby some peas from gerber with his rice cereal and 3 days later he has some diarreah...well, do you think it is from the peas? Maybe he is not ready for peas? He does rice and oatmeal. He is 5 months. I am not going to give him anything other than rice and oatmeal for a while, but he is allergic or maybe just not ready?

I saw a chart once about how much babies should be eating and at what intervals. Does anyone know about it? I cant remember where it was or what it said!!

My baby is 10 weeks on monday. Eats anywhere from 3 to 6 oz every 3 hours but goes about 6 at night. This puts him at an average of 30 oz a day. Just doesnt seem to be enough but he is gaining weight!! Anyone know?

So, after trying EVERY bottle on the shelf I came upon the Playtex drop ins. They dont give my baby the air of the others and thats a problem being he cant burp himself. My question is,, will I be able to use the others later when he becomes moble and/or holds his own bottle? OR do I have a bag of waisted bottles/MONEY?????

My baby is 12 weeks old and only sleeps in 40 minute blocks during the day where apparently he is supposed to sleep 2 hour blocks. Will this sort itself out or do I need to do something to encourage him to put himself to sleep. I dont like to let him cry because he only works himself up and makes it worse.

I mean come on people, let's grow up! It's just a breast! I try to be as discreet as possible, although I don't have an issue w/ it if someone's breast is exposed...Personally I'm more offended by someone's 13 year-old daughter's a ss hanging out of her age-inappropriate clothes or the person at the beach who is way too big for the type of swimsuit they're wearing. . But as the saying goes, if you don't like it you don't have to look... same goes w/ public breastfeeding!
