Newborn & Baby - October 2007

I'm going into hospital this afternoon to have my baby by c/section tomorrow.
Any ideas of what I might need to take?
Were there any items that you thought of afterwards that would have been useful if you'd thought of them sooner? i.e One friend suggested I take some paracetamol with me.
All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My precious little man is one year old on 30 November! I can't beleive this year has gone so fast!

I want to do something special for his birthday but have no idea what!

We have very little money and won't be able to get all the family together as my partner's family live 250 miles away.

Any ideas of what we could do on a shoestring with just me, my partner, my mum and my brother?

My wife's milk has not yet come in, and we are supplementing with formula. Can this be done at the same time with some sort of device?

Sample of (cloudy) urine to Dr came back with bacteria but no white cells in it, so they wanted repeat. Baby has lost 3 ounces over last 2 weeks when usually puts on about 8 ounces. Slightly more sleepy than usual, totally breast feeding usually very settled but has become fractious when feeding, pulling off and crying as if in sudden pain. Could be teething but dont think this is the cause. Bowel actions seem healthy. Baby clingy but otherwise still smiles and makes happy noises.

My 3 week old son HATES sleeping in his bassinet. I usually end up co-sleeping with him because every time I put him down to sleep in his bassinet, he starts crying and throws a horrible fit. I already know all the tips to co-sleeping and practice them very thoroughly. I would really like to know how I can get my little one to like his bassinet. Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

I am a stay at home mommy of 2. I have a 21month old and an 8 month old. I don't have a lot of spare time & I usually don't eat anything until lunch time or later, because I'm so busy with the babies. I really want to loose 20lbs before Christmas. Any ideas to drop this weight quickly?

I think I may have postpartum depression? How do I get over this? I feel like I should be so happy at this time inmy life, but I feel sad and overwhelmed. I was already prone to depression before and throughout my pregnancy. Are antidepressants safe when breastfeeding?

Our 6 month old baby girl just got her 6th month shots, and the doctor wanted to give her a flu shot as well onn Monday. Tuesday we introduced rice cereal (very little) to her as well as a taste of juice. That night she vomited quite a bit in bed. I wasn't sure if she just got too full or what.

Today (Wednesday), I fed her at 8:15am 7 ounces of formula...then fed her again at 12:40pm 5 ounces of formula. At 2:00pm I tried giving her a taste of juice. She vomited again quite a bit, like 3 times onto the highchair tray. Now I know she wasn't that full. Could it maybe be the flu shot causing this? Anyone have any similiar experiences?

I had my baby on the 26th real early in the morning. later that day i started feeling sick and told the doctors and nurses and all the gave me were cough drops. well i went in yesterday and they said i had a sinus infection ad now im on medication. my baby also had her first check up yesterday and i told them about her having trouble breathing and that the bugger sucker thing wasnt doing it. she said it was fine as long as the baby can breath while eating. but today when i woke up to feed her she had alot of stuff in her right eye. she isnt running a temperature but i still feel like there is something wrong. and im not breast feeding

My son is 3 months old. He has watery eyes, congestion, and a small fever.

Will the doctor actually give him medicine? Or, is it best to just give him the tylenol and motrin?

And oatmeal is very heavy. He is 4 months old and I wanted to wait until 6 months, but he is ready. He is teething off and on and gets restless and is up all night. partially from teething, and partial because he is hungry.... just restless. He is feeding more and more and more and longer and longer and longer. He seems happy enough during the day, but still eats more often and longer. Nights are becoming awful. He used to wake up 3-4 times a night hungry. Now he is waking up 3-10 times a night hungry. When he is teething it is worse because he is awake from being restless, which a full tummy would help ease some of that. Last night he was up till 3 am screaming. I fed him and fed him (he was eating for comfort and because he was hungry). I was finally couldnt' handle the screaming anymore and I cried and put him in his playpen to cry until I calmed down and tried to sleep.

i have a 2 week old baby girl ! and love her to death, but I am alittle concerned bc she wants to nurse all day long...seriously, if i take her from my breast so i can get a drink of water, go to the bathroom, put landuary in, what ever...she starts to wail until i place her back on my breast....is she hungary, or just want to suckle? im really frustrated (and sore)...help.

yes i am using a pacifier when she will take one, but i think she would rather use me instead....she will take a pacifier from her daddy, or her nana. and i have used the techniches from the "happiest baby on the block" dvd...and it does help somewhat, but she just wants to nurse all day long.
