Newborn & Baby - September 2007

I am breastfeeding my 3 month old, and the past couple days she has been screaming the same way she does when she gets her vaccinations from the doctor. she seems like she is in a great deal of pain, and she doesn't even want to eat ( and she always has an appetite). She didn't poop all day yesterday, and she gets a look on her face like shes trying real hard to go, and she gets upset. I gave her gas drops and she pooped and it looked real watery. I ate chocolate the past two days from a party- could she be having an allergy? She usually moves her bowels 2-3 times a day- she just has fits or inconsolable screaming and crying and theres nothing visibly wrong. can anyone offer some advice that may help?
Thank you.

I feel bad for doing this. But anyway. But when my 10 week old daughter is at daycare and I am at school I barely think about her. I feel bad and dont no why. Is it ok to feel bad about this? I s it normal not to think of my daughter alot while at school?

Well my son is only 5months.. and is colic. He is exteremly tired but just is really fussy in the middle of the night. Its kinda hard to explain.. He like spaz's out. His arm always are constinly moving and his feet, but he is tryin so hard just to stay sleeping. He doesnt want a bottle or anything. YES he does sleep with me. i know horrible habit, but he will not sleep anywheres else. Ive tried everything too. Ill read him books, sing him songs rock him everything, and once i lay him down, hes right back up. He just doesnt seem to be comftorable or something. I dont know what to do for him. It kinda seems like he still doesnt havve control of his arms and what hes doing.

anyone have anything like the same kinda problem?

Does anyone have any suggestions on some things I can do with my baby at home... she usually kicks her kicky toy, watches Dora, and Handy Manny, swings in her baby swing, tummy time on her tummy time mat, sits in her bouncer, and bebe pod, and we read... I'm sure she is getting bored with these same activities every day...I need some new ideas.

My daughter is 10 weeks old and goes to daycare while I am at school. Which is from about 7:30 when she is dropped off until 3:30 when I pick her up. EVERYDAY when I pick her up she is always on the other side of the room in a crib by herself and she is awake most of the time kinda fussing. When I ask if they have interacted with her at all today they will usually say we only interacted with her when we fed her and changed her diaper and then when she was screaming. It just makes me mad that I pay 9 dollars an hour for lazy daycare workers. I have tried talking to the head person and she said she would do something about it but she never has. I just dont no what to do about them. Should I talk to them more about it or switch daycares? I am only 14 so its not like they will listen to me or anything.

I got a diaper genie, i've heard that they're a waste of money. I've also heard that they're great. Do they stink? should i upgrade to a genie 2?

I'd like to get a bassinet or a playard made for infants to sleep in ( dont have room for a crib yet) which do you think would be better?

Also, about how long after the baby drops do you go into labor?

My daughter is nearly 4 months old and i love her to bits. However, sometimes I just want to scream and scream at her, and get so irritated. Im tired all the time and snappy and short tempered. I feel there is nothing I can do to calm her sometimes and that she doesn't particuarly like me. She cries if shes down so I pick her up, and she cries more. Shouldn't a mum be able to comfort her baby when its upset? I feel like Im letting her down somehow and useless at being a mum. I had such high hopes for myself and now feel Im rubbish at it. Has anyone else ever felt like this?

I have a son who is 9 months old and i am also expecting my second baby dec 21st. Is it as much hard work as everyone keeps telling me it will be? I enjoy being a mum and love spending time with my son I just hope that the time I have will be enough attention for them both. My son was a brilliant baby and into a routine straight away - still good now although had a few sleepless nights down to teething. Has anyone any advice maybe in the same situation as me?
Ive just got a mortgage with my partner also and plan to work a couple of evenings a week but apart from that I will be raising them. Thanx

My lil girl is 5 1/2 months she is cutting two teeth (the both have broken through at the same time) and possibly another is coming in. She has had Diahrrea for 4 days now, It is very watery and kinda orange she is poohing about 6+ times a day, but she is not fussy or crying, as a matter of fact she is still laughing and playing like normal, everyone is telling me it is just normal with teething not to worry about her. But I am worried about her dehiderating, I started giving her Pedia Light yesterday (even though I have not spoken to her Dr. Is this ok too) Did any of your children do this while teething? As long as she is still peeing regularly then she is ok with fluids right? At what point do you think I should take her to her Dr.

Sorry I know there are a lot of questions here, but I am a 1st time mom, and I dont have my mom to ask these types of questions to...

Thanks

I am totally confused by rice cereal. We are ready to start solids and I know I am supposed to start with cereal because it is easy to digest and has nearly no allergic potential. How am I supposed to mix the stuff? How long is she supposed to take it before we introduce other solids? Any other tips?

I really would like to continue breasfeeding my baby.. he is now 1 month old.. i was planning to do so until he is 3 or 4 months old... i am stacking up on breastmilk. (freezing it).. for when i decide to stop he will still have breastmilk..
anyways.. i dont have that much milk.. or it seems to me that i dont.. ( i only pump out 2 oz out of one breast and 0 oz out of the other).. i am not sure why this happens
I have been taking fenugreek pills./ drinking lots of water . and it hasnt really done anything.. (atleast i havent noticed any change)..
I am still pumping out the same amount as i did before..
Also .. if i am breast feeding my son and he falls asleep then wakes up and is hungry again isnt that a sighn he isnt getting enough?..
i dont know what to do ..
and i really dont want to stop..
please any advice

My son really doesnt stay awake very long. I would say about 30 mins at a time. He is breastfeeding and really doesnt cry all that often. I just think he sleeps a whole lot. I try to keep him up before and after he eats. I know that they need a whole lot of sleep but I also know he should be awake a little more than what he is. He doesnt have his days and nights mixed up He will go almost 6 hours at night between feedings. When should I be worried about his amount of sleep?

my friend's baby was born with a large lump on the side of her head, doctor said it's normal, the lump hasn't grown, yet hasn't shrunk (the baby is now 5 weeks old). Did anyone else have or know someone who had a baby who was born with a lump but it later dissappeared? If so, how long did it take to dissappear? I'm trying to find out how often this occurs and is it really "normal/ok" like the doctor said. Serious answers only, I have no problem reporting abuse and stupidity.

My baby just started eating solid foods which makes me just a little nervous and unsure on what is safe to feed her. I would like to be able to give her a variety. I also want her to develop healthy eating habits so what i feed her i want it to be healthy. So i guess my question is, any ideas on safe healthy foods i can feed her?
