Newborn & Baby - November 2007

I'm overweight but I want to breastfeed but im embarrased to pick up my shirt in public even with a blanket what if it falls and everyone sees my tit and my fat stomache :(

Thats the thing im scared about

I have 2 other kids and i gave up with them but i really want to try with this one

Can you tell me what kind of shirts to buy and where to get them and how im supposed to breast feed without showing my body off?

My daughter has two car seats for her daughter. Right now the baby is in a Graco infant seat. I bought them an extra car seat base for her husbands car. When she gets a bit bigger she will be in a Evenflo carseat. My question is will this carseat fit on the Graco base? Or does she need a different base if she wants to have an extra one for her husbands car? Thanks.

I prewashed all of babies clothes in Purex Baby Detergent. I am about to put them all in the dryer. Are normal dryer sheets okay to use, or should I not use any dryer sheets at all??

Thanks!

Can someone out there tell me why doctors say it is ok to give your baby cows milk based formulas, but you should not give your baby cows milk before they are at least 1 year old? Seems like a contradiction.

we just started solids (well baby food I mean) a few weeks age. he has his next ped appt in about a week but until then, can someone tell me just tentatively how many servings of each I should feed him? I know he gets most of his nutrients from the formula still, I'm actually wanting to make sure I don't give him to much fruit or meat or whatever. He is in the stage 2 little stubby jars.

My son weighs 18 lbs (almost 6 months old) is going to outgrow his infant carrier at 22 lbs.
I am interested in Britax because of their safety features and with my Christmas bonus coming money is not an issue.
I am looking into Britax's convertible seats and I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards the Boulevard.
Anyone have any experience with this one? I am installing it in a Jeep Liberty.

If you breastfeed your little one, how often do you do it? Every one, one and a half, two hours, or more? How old is your baby? In the beginning how often did they wake up during the day/night? I realize every baby is different. I'm just wondering about other people's routine.

I took my little boy in for his circumcision on Monday. No problems, he cried a bit but don't babies anyway and the nurse assured me it's pretty painless.

Anyway I was telling this to my sister this morning and said I shouldn't have done it and gave me all sorts of critisism, as if it's her business anyway . I thought it was necessary for hygene reasons later? At least that's what the hospital said.
Now I'm wondering if I did the right thing? It is routine isn't it

I know they say to watch what you eat like spicy food.... But what are some foods to help give my milk a better taste? Also what about increasing my supply... I know it helps to pump and feed as often as possible to increase it, but are there foods out there that can help the process??

Ive seen a lovely little pair of pink converse which i'd love to get my baby. She is only six months old so is not walking yet but likes to stand up a lot, with a little help. Do you think it is silly to put shoes on her yet? Obviously she wouldn't wear them all the time, only when we go out, but I don't want to hurt her feet.

when my daughter was 2 months old she started sleeping through the night but now that she is 5 months old she doesn't sleep through the night anymore and she doesn't nap during the day. I have started her on baby food (1 jar a day) and i put 1 ounce of rice cereal in every 8 ounce bottle. she still doesn't sleep, no naps and she wakes up every night about every 2-3 hours. so i don't really think she's hungry but i feed her when she wakes, she drinks about 2-3 ounces every time then goes back to sleep. Her bedtime is 8:00-8:30pm everynight. We do the same routine bath and bottle before bed at the same time every night. and she wakes up at 6:30-7:00am every morning on her own. please help what am i doing wrong here?

i just noticed how my 9 month old shows no intrust in drinking from a bottle but will drink water/juice from a sippy cup. we can give him a bottle with his formula in it and he will drink some then throw it down and go play and it use to take no more then 20mins to drink 8 oz know it takes more then a hour so we end up throwing out most of the bottle. i was thought his throut hurt but yet he will drink juice and water from a sippy. he has been on a sippy since 6 months old .

my question is do they usally reject the bottle at this age? if he shows no intrest in the bottle what is the best sippy to get for his formula that has to be thicken with rice cereal?

Hi, im currently 38 weeks pregnant and i had a growth scan yesterday. They said the baby weighs about 6.2lbs at the mo but it can be out by 25%. Im due to have a section in 5 days and we are playing guess the birth weight. As the scan can be so far out, it makes it harder to guess but i was wondering if any of you had a growth scan, and how accurate was the weight when baby was born? was it a lot bigger or smaller than the scan suggested? im not at all concerend about the babys size, its just out of interest. thanks x

The photographer acted shocked that he wasn't able to sit up without a little support behind his back and that he isn't crawling yet...Is my baby behind in development or is this photographer tripping?
