I have to go back to work about two to three months after I have my baby, there's no way around it. I still want to do the best for my baby possible so I'm planning on pumping and then feeding my baby through bottle. That way she'll be used to that for when I go back to work and also my husband can be involved more in feeding her. My question is does anyone have any advice about doing this, serious answers only and preferably from experience.

I have a 15 month old baby and I work around the clock...sometimes Ill work daytime so a normal day care would be fine..but sometimes (more often than not) my shift is at night...example tonight I go in at 4 and dont get out till around 11pm. Does anyone know of any daycare or maybe even some ideas that might work? Ive already asked friends but its not possible and my parents both work full time as well. The dad isnt even in the picture so Im clueless. Please help me think of some kind of possibility

First thank you to everyone who has helped me so much on here!

Logan William arrived on 8/31 @ 9:28pm weighing 8lbs 12oz


I was induced at 8am and labored well untill the last 3 hours of hard labor, the baby would crown where the doc could see his hair but he would not move any further than that, no matter how hard i pushed or how much the doc helped him along. They finally belived me and took me in for a c-section. They even hooked me up to a pit drip to get the contractson stronger! They took this off when they decided to go c-section. I dont agree that I had to lay there and labor hard for 3 hours when I told them there was something wrong I couldnt do it, Then had to wait an aditional 45 minutes to an hour for the surgery team to set up and arrive (small hospital) all the while im still having unbearable hard contractions. Then to top everything off I had to be put fully under because something about the person who does the spinal blocks was not avalable. So my hubby

Does anyone know the first steps I need to take to get him going? Any advice. Please do not give me lectures on NOT doing it. I want to try it and see how it goes - perhaps he can earn some money for college.

I don't know what to do, sometimes he eats every 2 hours - sometimes its less, sometimes he wants to eat an ounce every hour. How can I get him to eat more? I have tried holding off between feedings and he screams. I try to keep him awake or eating and he wont continue and I don't want to force him.

In-laws, parents, friends, everyone is constantly saying how my son is such a "good" baby because he rarely cries, entertains himself, smiles often, etc. I really don't like the phrase good baby but I get what they are saying. Is a baby "bad" if he/she does cry a lot, fussy, etc? I'm going to have to say no. How about you?

I just started giving my son (who will be 8 weeks on the 19th) rice cereal in his bottle. I use maybe a third of the formula scoop mixed with 4 ounces of formula. My question is, is that too much? and I was going to give it to him in his bottle for his 'breakfast' (which is usually at 7am)and then again right before his bedtime (which is around 9pm). Or should I just give it to him right before his bed.

**I'm giving him rice cereal because his is ALWAYS hungry**

my sister in law gave us a nice looking crib that her daughter had used.
it's a 2-in-1 crib/toddler bed. i'm not sure if we have all the parts because we can't figure out how to set up the springs so they go inside the crib frame.
we have the two headboards and the two side boards and then on each of the head boards is a roller and caster casing, but we don't have any part that will roll into it (the caster casing looks like the kind on a kitchen drawer)
we have the springs and a mattress.
now how do we make it work, what are we missing?!
can we get the parts somewhere like walmart for cheap??

I am sick of seeing people give thumbs down for legitimate answers. Perhaps a few people haven't been sleeping too well, due to someone keeping them up all night??

My son will be 10 months old at Christmas. I would like some suggestions on what your toys your kids liked best. I would like to shop around for the best prices in the next few months. I don't want real babyish stuff and some things I figure he will use more in the summer, like a ride on toy or trike. Any suggestions would be great...thanks.

He has had eczema since he was very young and has been having to use a steroid cream for it which I DO NOT want to use on him. I did some research on baby products and the fact that they still have a very irritating ingredient in them (sodium lauryl sulfate) so I decided to switch to all natural products. I chose the Burt's Bees baby line. I started using it but now it seems he has a little flare up. Do you know of any all natural baby products that are good to help with eczema?

I share custody of my 2 month old son. Recently his mother started feeding him baby food peaches. From what I read this is way too early and fruit should not be a first food. So when I have him I give him formula only. She gives me a written schedule of what and when he should eat and wants me to write down what I've fed him. Any suggestions for how to deal with this?

He sleeps a lot as it is, but should he be put in the crib at a specific time and then woken up at a specific time at night to be breastfed? Or should I leave him to sleep and wake as he has been doing?

My son is 5 1/2 months and seems to be constipated. I am going to call his doctor on Tuesday, I just wanted to get some input and opinions. He seems to push for about 3-5 minutes and then when I smell it, I go change him and all that is there is a small rock sized poop and it feels like a rock! He does eat solids, but I gave him prune juice, mixed with water and it didnt help at all. I stopped the cereal hoping that would help and its not helping... has anyone gone through this? What did you try that worked? Once again, I am calling his doctor tomorrow!

My first kid ate everything at the time she was 1 and my younger (who's just about to turn one) seems like she doesn't like much. She loooves her formula, some baby foods and yoghurts. She tries dif. stuff but eats just a little bit and then wants her milk. I tried to let her be hungry and then feed her food but doesn't make no difference. And no, cannot be her teeth, it's been like forever, she really doesn't care for food much. She weights 17lbs.

I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. For some reason every time my 7-week-old poops it goes up his back instead of down into his diaper. I've tried loosening his diaper at the waist, and also tightening it. I've also tried settling the diaper higher up on his back and looser from his butt. Nothing seems to work, and I know I have the right size diapers for him.

Anyone have any tips?
