Our baby has had a rash around her mouth. Tonight, I noticed a similar rash around my nipple and aerola. Last week we took her to the doctor about the rash and the ped. said it wasn't thrush because she didn't have the white patches in her mouth, that it was caused by teething and to give antibiotic cream. We have and it looks better but is not gone. I didn't notice my nipples and aerola until tonight when I was in the bathtub.

I have read online and they said:
-genetian violet- where do I get that?
-it said to put myconizole on my nipples- yet that would be ingested by the baby.

I do not have pain when I am breastfeeding at all. I just noticed the rash on my own nipples tonight. 2 weeks ago on was on a strong antibiotic for a kidney infection that came back after the first treatment failed. I wonder if this caused it.

We are calling the ped. on Wednesday morning. Do I need to see my own doctor as well to get my own meds?

Someone fill me in. I have never had this before

I was in my 2nd trimester when my boyfriend started using crack . He was not on drugs when we conceived but I could be wrong . I'm worried that if he had crack in his system around the time I became pregnant that it will some how affect my baby who is 4mos. old now. I am not sure if the baby will have any problems later down the line or maybe evan struggle with drugs later in young adulthood. I have so many thoughts and just don't know what to think. I would like to know what to expect or at least feel assured that my baby is in the clear and will be okay since I've never been on drugs.

My husband and I are staying with his parents while we're home for the holidays. His brother's wife is currrently living with them, along with her two sons. Her youngest is 8 months, and he's the one I'm really concerned about. I woke up sometime early this morning to the sound of choking. Naturally, I checked my son, but he was happily snuggled up to his daddy. I went in the living room and saw the 8 month old in his swing, with a bottle propped, and his mommy nowhere in sight. I took the bottle and picked him up, and he spit up the formula that was choking him. His mom was in her room, in bed, but obviously she was the one who did it, since he went to bed with her a few hours before. He fell asleep in my arms on the couch, but I had trouble sleeping because I couldn't stop thinking of what could have happened to him.

I know I did the right thing, but I'm worried about what will happen when she moves out and her husband gets deployed. (CONTINUED)

My daughter is on Nutramigen...have you ever read the ingredients in that stuff?? It's main ingredients are coconut oil, soybean and vegetable oil and all this crazy stuff. Obviously she is on it because she needs to be...we tried switching to 1/2 breast milk 1/2 nutramigen and her symptoms came back (blood in stools, gas, screaming) so we are strictly on nutramigen again w/ 1 TBS cereal mixed in a bowl a day. Did your child meet all the developmental milestones on this stuff? I mean, I really should NOT have read the ingredients but I hate what I am feeding her. I am scared because of this stuff she will not be healthy and make progress as she gets older. Please can someone tell me if everything seems ok w/ your little one on nutramigen? Her Dr. says it will be her "staple food" till one year.

the government reccomends something so everyone belives that it is "the thing to do." i have a 7 and a half month old daughter and i raised her and took care of her the way "I" felt was good. i tried my *ss off to breast feed until i completely dried up, i gave her the formula that i thought was best, i put cereal in her bottle at 2 months to help her sleep at night (trust me it works) i gave her a little taste of baby food at 3 almost 4 months and started actually giving her babyfood by 5 months. she now has 3 solid meals a day with maybe 10 ounces of formula a day. why does everyone listen to what the government reccomends? the government didnt reccomend nothin 50-60 years ago and people raised healthy babies back then. so what changed now? how the hell does the government know exactly what is best? are they inside of a babies body seeing exactly what does what at what age? no, they dont even give a damn... they just get payed to pretend to know everything.

I already called and spoke with a nurse at the hospital who told me not to worry about this, but I am still concerned

My baby normally spits up after she eats (she's breastfed) but it just dribbles out of her mouth, it doesn't shoot out.

Last night my husband was watching her and she had her pacifier in her mouth. She spit out the pacifier with force and spit up shot out, up about 5 inches he said. That's when I called the nurse but she said if it was projectile vomiting it would be like 3 feet in the air. She said what he saw was normal.

So I've kept an eye on her, but this morning it happened again.

I'm just concerned because it isn't normal for her. She doesnt' have a fever, I already checked that. And her behavior is pretty much the same, she's a little more fussy than normal but nothing really weird.

???

Merry Christmas Eve, btw & thanks for your answers on a holiday!

My daughter's 11 months old this week, and I don't feel ready yet. My mother was telling me I should wean her, and I think it's too soon (my mother formula-fed me, so maybe there's where the discrepancy lies in readiness to wean). When did everyone wean their babies/toddlers?

I've always been taught they were but internet sights are saying they actually are not.

i usually do the 'sitting on the lap' method..when i burp him he will drop back his head and pull up his leg, when i do the "over the shoulder' he will roll his head left and right, and i have to support his head which makes it hard for me to rub his back on both style..and I'm nervous on trying the 'on his tummy' method..any other way to burp him?

Hello guys, I just gave birth to a little baby boy. I started to breast feed him. However, I feel my boobs kind of hurt, anyone in that situation? Am I making milk? I feel tender and yet my bottom is pretty sore. The doc gave me antibiotics & the other medicine to soften my poops. But somehow it hurts. I just discharged today after 3 days at the hospital. Share with me your experience please. Thanks. I would love to know more about it along with breast feeding & experience about the bottom. Thanks and Happy Holiday guys ^_^

I'm 31 weeks pregnant almost 8 mths. I have 2 cats and most people think that I should get rid of them because they'll try to steal the babies milk right out of there mouths. Is this true? Has anyone had cats and a baby at the same time has the cats tried to do this? It does scare me to think about it. I don't want to hear shame on me either. I need to know and if you have personal expierience (not old wives tales) then please tell me.

He does not seem fussy, he does drool a lot and loves to put his fingers in his mouth and loves his pacifer too. Just throughout the day he seems to be chewing on nothing? Any advice would be appreciated.
