My son only sleeps for about 2 or 3 hours at a time during the night is this normal or should he be sleeping all through the night?

My daughter is 8 months old and is FINALLY getting a tooth, its hurting her pretty bad but she is doing really good. She is still sleeping through the night and is just a little extra whingy. The thing that seems to bug her most is her nose. It is clear and runny but its stopping her from drinking her bottle, and when she is asleep i can hear it in her nose all yucky when she breathes. The only time she can clear it is when she sneezes lol. I have tried vicks but its not blocked so its not helping, also her eyes are runny too like she has an allergy even though its just from her teeth. Is there any tricks to help with her nose??

I know you have to put it in the back seat of your vechicle, but do you put it behind the drivers seat or passengers?

I've already called the doctors, there are no appts available, and they told me to take him to the ER if i think its that severe. We've tried everything at home, used the suction on his nose, humidifier, raised his mattress of the crib. He didn't sleep all night last night and hes cranky right now too. What can I do to make him better.


First time mom, and hes teething as well.

He is very alert for his age. Is there anything that you would recommend for a gift that your own kids liked at that age. (He will be 5 1/2 months by then) He absolutely loves his exersaucer. Maybe something like that that he could play with...

I have a 6 week old baby. When I put her to sleep, on her back she sleeps for 10 min. then shes up again crying. I realize she likes to be on her stomach when I tryed out her new play mat. So I let her sleep on her stomach during the day so that I can watch her,but at night when I'm trying to sleep I put her on her back and she cries. I dont know what to do I afraid of SIDs, and this is something new she slep really good up util 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Everyone is suggesting it, but I just don't know if I'd be comfortable doing it. I heard it makes your boobs sag and all that good stuff, but it also makes you loose the baby weight faster. I like my boobs where they are...I'm only 18. Any advice?

I want to be excited but I am really scared. My boyfriend is excited and I want to be but I am so worried. I am worried about money, I am worried if I can even handle it and I am worried about what my family will think. I just can't hear any negitive thinking from them and I just feel like that is all I am going to get. I am a very strong person but this is a lot to take in right now. I am going to have a 1 1/2 year old when I have a newborn!! That freaks me out. How am I going to do this please help somebody. I need advice please!!

It isn't really high or anything and it goes back to normal when I give him medicine. I want to take him to the doctor and I called them and they said that he is probably getting his back teeth and that causes a fever, runny nose and drooling (which he has). Should I not worry, he has had it since last night. How long should I wait? I just don't really trust the doctor. Is it really teething?

Im due on January 4th. I just had my baby shower and was curious if I should was the babies clothes, or is that not necessary? I bought some Purex Baby Detergent so I could do them today. Is it too early?


If I do the clothes am I supposed to do stuffed animals & blankets/quilts?? How about the crochet clothes & quilts people hand made? Would those get ruined?

In the USA, it's perfectly normal, and some people are even obsessed with it, to remove the prepuce (foreskin) in an infant male. It is a cosmetic procedure, all medical associations are in agreement of this. Today, we hear more and more about women getting "designer" vaginas and having their prepuce (clitoral hood) removed fully or partially, leaving the clitoris exposed much like the penis head in the male.

So why don't doctors offer this cosmetic procedure to parents of baby girls just like they do to baby boys?

And please don't try to bring up any "health" reasons on why the male circumcision should be done. All health organizations from the AAP and on agree that the health "benefits" are slight at best, and not enough to recommend the procedure. Also, the removal of the prepuce in girls hasn't been studied at all, so there might be undiscovered "health" benefits.

My 5 month old daughter won't sleep through the night. She was sleeping fine around 3 months, then she got a cold around 4 months and was getting up because her nose was stuffy. And ever since, she cries anywhere from twice a night to 10 times a night. I am exhausted. Sometimes I can go in and pat her back until she falls back to sleep...but in a half an hour she might wake up again. Other times, most of the time I have to pick her up to stop her from crying..and then she goes back to sleep. Is this just habit now, because she was getting picked up when she was sick? Or is there something wrong with her? Her napping is fine. My son slept through the night at 8 weeks old and never gave me a problem after. But this is getting old quick. She isn't hungry, when I try to give her a bottle ....she is basically upset because she is tired and wants to go back to sleep, ( or at least that's what it seems like to me). I've let her cry for about 10 minutes, but she just cries harder. help !!

Ok so this baby we watch shes 4 months old, and she can be sound asleep and then she just wakes up and starts crying , sometimes screams to the top of her lungs. Is there something that can cause that? I've thought about maybe it is nightmares but if its that, that means she would have them all the time. I've never seen a kid to it that much like her. It's funny cause she would go to sleep and be dead asleep and then out of no where she starts screaming/ crying. Any advice?
