My son is almost 6 months old and still does not eat solid food. When we try to feed it to him he just pushes it back out with his tongue. Anyone know how to teach him to swallow?

She'll be bundled up to ridiculous proportions and stuffed warmly into her stroller or in our arms. But I'm just not sure if it will make the potential cold worse or not. She had a little bit of a cough last night and has a runny nose (AGAIN) today. We just got over a 3week runny nose. Not looking forward to dealing with that again...

She nurses 4 times a day and eats solids twice a day (1 serving of stage 2 baby food and 1 serving of oatmeal at each feeding)....she is starting to take longer naps and sleeping through feedings, so I find myself cramming in her feedings just to get them in before bedtime for fear of her waking in the night hungry. Would it be okay to keep the solid intake the same but nurse only 3 times per day? Will the amount adjust into 3 feedings? In other words, I don't want her to be taking in less breastmilk. Is 3 feedings per day too little for a 7 month old? Any pointers would be great!

I have a 7 month old and may start working 2 to 3 days a week. I plan to pump at work and feed her that milk. However, I am not a good pumper (and I have all the fancy pumps and know all the tricks), and I'm worried I won't get as much as she needs and will need to supplement with a little formula. I'm ok with that, but I'm worried about the days I'm not working - will I be short on those days too eventually and need to supplement a little then too? i don't want her to be hungry on the days I'm at home!!?

Anyone have experience with this? I'd like to use as little formula as possible.

When answering the question re "will a six week old remember"As someone who has just gotten through post natal depression, i found myself feeling quite upset with some of the responses. Irealise that my circumstances were different from those of the poster but at certain times when at my lowest, i ashamed to say that i shouted at my child when she cried. I didnt know what she wanted and as i wasnt myself, i took my frustration out in tht way. I did always feel guilty after thid which made my depression worse, but thankfully i am now over it and my daughter and i are so happy. But when reading the responses, and someone saying that it is abuse to shout, i would just like to say that all circumstances are different. i would neverabuse my child, the idea turns my stomach, i got help. just spare a thought for those who are going through PND. Also, dads can go through it too.

By the time my first baby got to 3rd foods, she didn't want to eat them. she wanted tiny bits of my food. My now 8 month old son hasn't even had a taste of cheerios. I'm not really in a hurry. But he is now grabbing at my daughters snacks. The baby books I've read say when she show interest in your food is when they're ready.
Thoughts?

With my daughter, I didn't count hi, mama, or dada. I counted Duck and Hot that followed within 5 minutes because tehy are actually words.
With my son, I didn't count mama, dada or ow. Yesterday he said Bye. He meant it too. But I didn't cound Hi with my daughter. What do you think? Is BYE his first word? A big piece of me is waiting for a real word. Thoughts?

my baby's head had slightly elongated due to pressure when i was pushing- she was born 2 wks early. she's a month old now n her head has mostly gone back to it's normal shape. i'm aware that most babies are born like that n all it takes is laying them flat on their backs which will slowly fix their head shapes. when my mother in law was here, she would press my baby's head in order to bring it back to its normal shape. i wasn't comfortable w/it but she convinced my hubby that she knows wat she's doin coz she raised 4 sons n did the same to them. my baby would scream @ the top of her lungs when she pressed her head in her hands. now she's talkin about pickin up my baby by her head only when she turns 3 months so that her neck can become longer. is this just dangerous or what? i hate having my baby being treated like a little lab rat n its really pissin me off that my in laws take so much control over things i'm not comfy with. isn't it dangerous doing that to a baby? what should i say

Shes 4 months now and she constantly is rolling on her stomach at night, but cant roll herself back over and it frustrates her and scares me. Ive been so worried about SIDS bc a friend lost their little boy, that i'm afraid to put anything in her crib for fear of suffocation. Does anyone have a remedy for this or helpful input?

My daughter will be 6 months old tomorrow and she is HUGE! she goes for her 6 month appt today but I am guessing she is around 23 pounds. She has outgrown her infant seat already. My "problem" is taking her out now. She sits up on her own, but her balance is not quite there yet. So She tips over in shoppiing carts and cant sit in resturant high chairs yet. Anyone have this problem? Any soulutions?

Also she outgrows baby toys, such as her jumperoo she is quickly approaching the weight limit on that, but she loves it!

My 2 month old daughter drinks Enfamil A.R. Lipil and i noticed that when i shake the bottle to mix the formula it creates a lot of air bubbles and extra foam, i bought a formulah mixer from burlington coat factory and i thought it would it help, but since it mixes the formula so fast it does the same thing, i heard shaking the bottle to mix the formula isnt good...does anyone have any suggestion on what i can do?

*oh yea and i tried to stir it with the spoon it take entirely too long and its hard when you have an 8oz bottle and when your not in the kitchen and on the road.!!

I was sexually and mentally abused by a close family member when I was little. It went of for years. I now have a little 6 month old girl and can't help but be extremely protective of her. The thought of her going through anthing like I did terrifies me. My partner says I have to trust somebody and give her some space when she is older, but I know first hand that abuse is rife and it is usually the people you least expect doing it. Once it happens its too late, the damage is done. How can I stop myself being too over protective whilst ensuring she is safe

i don't know how parents can do it to be honest

im not even a parent, (let alone a woman/mother) and my heart sinks to watch someone cry or hear them cry, let alone a baby. i just wanna go over and give em a hug.

Letting a baby cry is cruel, all they want is a hug or some milk, whats so wrong with that.

how can people become so in-sensitised to allow a little baby to cry like this?

in times when people can be so angry, and so spiteful, how can they risk allowing a contribution to such a world, by not showing their child the love they need?

Is there a good brand of buggy which takes up relatively little floor space and wont be too wide to get on most London buses.

I have two children under 2 (my daughter is about to turn 2, my son is almost 6 weeks old).

I feel like i cant get out of the house, i feel trapped. My daughter is not a great walker so she likes to go in the buggy. At the same time she is a handful when she is not in the buggy. When coming home from anywhere she usually falls asleep too, which will make my life very difficult.

This question is specifically about double/tandem buggies - I dont really want to know about carrying the baby in a sling - I am considering that too.
