My friend recently had a baby and she is having a lot of trouble tryng to settle her. The problem is soon as i hold bubs she seems to settle and we seem to be doing the same things. Its making the mum feel as if she is doing something wrong. How can i make her realise its not her fault.

I was just wondering how long you should let a 2 week old cry for when being put down for a sleep. She has been spoilt and picked up pretty much soon as she cries. Anyone have any good ideas for getting the baby to fall alseep by herself.

I heard somewhere that babies don't reach for things out of arms reach. Is this true?

We have a rather fussy (formerly colic) 5 month old, who already has a lot of stranger anxiety - she is very attached to mom and dad, and often screams after being held by someone else... frequently she is inconsolable...

There are many relatives and friends who seem to insist on holding her even if she is having a melt down. I think they seem to think that surely they can calm her down... when they cannot and I take her away to calm her, I feel really guilty! The comments are always - "it doesn't bother me if she is crying... but if it bothers you here you go." It makes me feel really dumb for wanting to help her stop crying, like it shouldn't bother me. But I know it is a mother's natural instinct to stop her baby from crying and I see no reason to have her scream incessantly and work herself into a tizzy.

What's the deal with people not wanting to let go of crying babies after a couple minutes, unless prodded by the mother? Suggestions in dealing with this?

My 9-month-old son son does almost every time. For every nap, and especially at bedtime. Am I wrong in not making him falling asleep on his own? He just falls asleep after eating and I see no sense in waking him up to them put him back to sleep. I'm looking for input/advice from moms nursing moms... Did you ladies put your babies to sleep by nursing? And was this hard to break when you decided to wean?

My baby, 18 days old, has been up since 4pm.. its now almost 11.. the only way that she will sleep is on her belly.. is it really "bad" for an infant to sleep on their bellies? btw i am watching her so there is no risk atm but if i were to put her to bed like this, when i go to bed is it bad.. i mean when i was a baby i slept on my belly.. so im wondering if there is a real harm in letting her sleep on her belly other than people say not to.. ty in advance for answers

My almost 6 month old (in 2 days) is now having rice cereal, formula, as well as breastfeeds at night and a few times during the day - she sort of "snacks" at the breast.

Even though she is getting some solids and formula now I am glad she is still interested in nursing. Am I still considered a nursing mom even if she only nurses once or twice a day? When people ask me if I'm still breastfeeding I say yes, but sometimes feel like a cheat because I don't mention the formula/solids. Can I still say "yes" or should I explain myself?

(Hope that made sense)

My son is almost 6 1/2 months old. I just recently purchaced an Avent sippy cup. It was rated for 6 mos and up. I offered it to him the other day, and he wanted nothing to do with it! I had put a little bit of dulited juice in it. Then i tried again with water, and then breast milk.
How do i start to teach him how to drink from the sippy cup??
What are some helpful tips that worked for you?
And do you have a sippy cup that you reccomend?
Thanks!

My daughter is 13 months old and over the past couple days she has developed a severe diaper rash (is is around the actual butt area not the vaginal area)(Also she is teething) It is bright red and blistery and bleeding. I have taken her to the doctor for it before (3 times) and they don't seem to give me any help what so ever. So I decided to ask moms(or dads) what I can/should do to help her. All help will be greatly appreciated(my daughter is in terrible pain and crying almost non stop and she is normally a happy content baby. Thank you.

but I have never had a child and I am giving her a shower and creating her baby registry. Besides the obvious essentials(pampers, bottles, etc), what are some things I need to put on her registry that she will need as soon as the baby is born? We have 2 weeks before her shower and I only have about 18 items on the registry. Can you help me come up with items?
