My husband and I got married 7 months ago. We are now expecting our daughter in December. This is his first child but my second child, my first born is almost 13 years old...so its been a while since ive had a baby!

My husband wants us to host our own co-ed baby shower. Since we are now 1 family he would like to include all sides of the family to this event. We have picked a restaurant and we will being paying for the food.

I feel a lot of tention & confustion since baby showers are traditionally put together by family (my mother) & friends.

How do you pull this off without hurt feelings?

my son is 1 week shy of turning 7 months. his ped advised i strat him on baby food at 4.5 months because of his size and interest in food. at first, he did great, ate everything i gave him and was putting away 4 to 6 jars a day! lately, things have changed. i find it very hard to get him to eat baby food at all anymore. he yells at me, spits it out and leans forward on his highchair tray and closes his mouth shut. what makes this even more frustrating is that my mom insists that he eats great when with her. what am i doing wrong? he eats nearly 40 ounces of formula a day and seems to be gaining weight. my doctor told me to increase his baby food intake, but i feel like i'm losing my mind and i feel like bursting into tears while feeding him now. is this normal? why would he eat the same amount for grandma and not me or his dad? please, say it gets better! any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Her son is 2 months and 1 week. He doesnt make eye contact. Am I just worring about something that is not there. I really think it is strange that he doesnt look at faces. I have heard that you should bring it up to your Dr if this happens. I dont know how to bring it up to her. Should I and if I should how to bring it up?

Is this normal? Does it mean that she is not ready do you think? I've tried putting them in her mouth but she scrunches it shut and turns her head away. So I leave them on her highchair tray (things like, puffed wheat, small pieces of banana, cheerios, baby cookies etc) and she still won't touch them.

She is 28 inches tall and very active. She breast feeds and is a very picky eater. Please guide as to how I can make her to gain some weight. I am really very worried for her as she falls in the 3 percentile for weight at her age.

My daughter is almost four months old and still using the stage 1 nipple. I have tried the stage 2 nipples (Dr. Browns) and it seems to come out so fast. My question is how do you know when they should be using a stage 2 nipple?

I have decided to go with cloth, and I know about AIO, pre-fitted, pocket, Indian prefold, etc. I want to know what will be the trimmest fit, yet functional choice for a newborn. She will be not be bottle fed (God willing).
I've seen some photos of some of the cover + prefold combos on a newborn, and the bulk just really puts me off. I would rather use ones that fit nice and trim.
Anyone got advice?

Our baby must have a low pain tolerance, because she's absolutely miserable while teething. She has four teeth in and is getting two more right now. We've tried everything to help, but she stays cranky, feverish, fussy, not eating, and not sleeping while teething.

Here's what we've tried: Frozen washcloths, teething rings of every type -- cold and not cold, Tylenol, ibuprofen, teething tablets, frozen bagels, large frozen pretzels, Orajel for babies.

Short of getting prescription pain medicine, what can we do? How long will she be going through this? Doesn't it get easier with each tooth? Why is it not for her?

When a baby is born, why is the 2nd question "how much does it weigh?" I work in birthing area of a hospital and it's always the next question. Everyone does this!!!!

I am flying home to Canada to see my family with their new 6 wk old grand daughter. Problem is that she is due her 8 week injections when she is away. My health visitor says that she must have them done. I havent lived at home for 15 yrs adn havent got a health plan ect, so will any clinic take her? She will obviously have insurance, so will that cov er her? I am going to call my old family doc , but they are 5 hrs behind and it isnt open yet so thought I would ask for everyones view on this. Thanks in advance!

Recently I saw a study about circumcision rates in this country, and it noted that overall the rate is holding steady, but that it had gone up or down among certain groups. In particular it mentioned that the rate among African-Americans was now equal to the rate among whites, or in some cases a few percentage points higher. For other races, hispanics in particular, the rate was much lower. Could anyone comment on whether circumcision is in fact prevalent or popular in the black community? Any ideas as to why the rate might have risen in recent years?

I was having tummy time with my five week old baby boy today and when I put him on his back I noticed that he had two wet spots on his sleeper where his nipples are... This has not happened before... I have heard of witch's milk and that a baby when first born could lactate but I would think at five weeks he would be beyond this?? Is this still normal or should I be calling my doctor? I have an appt with her in a week so I will be sure to mention it then but, I'm just a little concerned and wanted to know if I should be calling her sooner as this might not be normal?
P.S. I am breastfeeding him...

Today my one year old son's doctor said we are giving him too much "yellow food" such as squash, corn, and carrots. She said this is causing the bottom of his feet to look yellowish. I have never heard of that, my mother has never heard of that, can anybody provide supporting evidence?

So I use 1 wipe for a wet diaper, and 2-4 maybe even 5 if it's a bad poopy diaper.

My husband uses at least 2 for a wet diaper, and 5, maybe 6 for a poopy diaper.

Since we now have two kids in diapers, it seems we are going through a ton of wipes and diapers.

If you had my husband, would you:

A) Get after him & try to get him to use less wipes (this stuff is not cheap!),

or

B) Forget about it and be happy that he actually changes diapers?


Thanks~
