Formula didn't really become popular until the 50s and 60s, right? So, say it's the 1870s and a woman is in town with her baby. Her baby gets hungry and starts screaming. Did she, probably a conservative Christian, start nursing right there? Or did she finish buying whatever she was buying at the general store, letting the baby scream all the while and annoy everyone else, make the journey home, and then feed?

I was recently at a website that listed many other countries, some of them extremely conservative, that were very receptive to breastfeeding, and bfing in public. Israel and Japan included. America is supposedly one of the most progressive countries in the world, and yet we can't keep our heads on straight on something that is a natural and non-sexual act. Why is that?

My 2 mths+ baby recently does not want to drink milk on feeding time even though she is hungry. She prefer pacifier and when I insert the bottle in her mouth, she start to struggle and cry... It takes a hard time to feed her... Is there any solutions for this? And sometimes when she drink, she doesnt finish her 4oz milk but only drinks 1 1/2oz to 2oz of milk only.

Is this true? That some hospitals automatically circumcise the boy without the parents' permission because they assume that the parents want it done? I'm 7 months pregnant with a boy and I most certainly do not want my boy circumcised. Has this happened to anyone before? I have heard stories and I hope they are just stories.

My son is is less than a week shy of 6 months old is a great baby. He rarely cries and is overall very laid back. However, starting at around 4 months he became scared of low singing. If I hum to him and sing higher, he's fine and enjoys is when I put lotion on him. He stil does. Also, I played the piano for him when he was in the belly has well and would get and get excited. Recently though when anyone sings to him in a lower pitched voice, he makes a really sad face and begins crying very hard. I used to play the piano for him when he was born and he would fall asleep. Now when I play, he bawls and won't stop crying. (Please don't be rude and say maybe you play bad...I've been playing for 10 years and that's not the case) Tonight my mom tried disctracting him while I played to make sure that's what it was and he was straining his neck to look over at the piano and begin crying. Both his father and I are musicians and I'm extremely sad that he's scared of music/singing.

My 9 week old will ONLY nap in my arms..and even then it is only 2 times a day. He gets a total of maybe 10 hours of sleep in 24, which I understand and remember to be way less than is normal. He will not let me put him down...ever... and begins crying hard almost immediately when I put him down. As a result I am lucky to get 2-3 showers a week, my 6, 10 and 13 year old children are being neglected and are voicing their dislike of it. Doctor says lay him in his bed and let him cry himself to sleep, but that is sooo hard! Any more humane suggestions?

So I just got my daughters 6 month shots today, about an hour ago. She seemps to be doing fine, she is just napping.
She turned 6 months yesterday. (20th)
I just got home and was updating her journal and she got her 4 month shots on November 2nd!!!! I thought it was right on her 4 month birthday, but apparently not.
HOW could the doctor schedule her to get re-vacc'd without checking the length of time since the last vaccinations?

How bad is it that she was vaccinated on Nov 2nd and then again Dec 21. I called but got their answering service and im freaking out.

Anyone?

I have had mastitis the first night my baby skippes a feeding. I think it is great that he is making his way to sleeping through the night but I don't want to get mastitis again. Any suggestions would be great!

Every little change in my baby, from a change in eating habits to change in routing, and I want to run screaming to the hospital. I had three miscarriages and tried to get pregnant for 7 years. I'm desperately afraid something will happen to him. I don't want to raise a paranoid hypochondriac, or be too protective of him when he gets older (much, much older... lol). I'm really scared I'm gonna mess this poor kid up.

He wakes up 20-30 min into his naps and at night an hour after he has laid down. I have tried letting him cry it out, it doesn't work.He goes to sleep nursing and if he falls asleep with me rocking he doesn't stay asleep for very long.He likes to be with me always. anyone have a similar experience? He's also waking up every 1-2 hours each night and the only thing that settles him is nursing. he has cereal at night but it doesn't seem to phase him. Help!

My husband wants to take me out to dinner, but I'm very attached to my 8 week year old boy. I don't know if I should hire a baby-sitter to watch him, just stay home, or bring him to dinner with us.

Mostly directed at co-sleeping parents -- do you sleep with your baby in your arms regularly? Always? Never?

She is still fitting into 3-6 mos clothes and doesn't look "big"- though she has very meaty thighs and chubby cheeks. :) I hate to compare or freak out, but my friend has a 6mos old who is in size 2 still! Is this weird, or is my baby ok? I just want real mom reassurance...I know I need to follow dr's orders and we have a well visit in 2 wks. thanks! :)

How did your baby get around? WHen did he/she learn to walk? My son is a bum scootcher and I am just curious if he will eventually just go straight to walking and skip crawling. He is 9 months old and walks along furniture. I know every baby is different but I am just curious.

If you were to pick one out for a baby boy, which one would you choose? I liked the panda one but now I'm having second thoughts lol. Thank you.

She is 6 1/2 months old and has a runny nose and a little bit of a cough. She doesnt have a fever though, so I wasn't sure if I needed to take her to the doctor. Is there something I can give her? She is eating fine and doesnt really act like she feels bad. It is just hard for her to nurse, though, because she has to breathe through her mouth. Thanks in advance.

She's only ten months and her two bottom front teeth came in first - as is usual it seems - but then she got first one and then another canine tooth and now she looks like a cute little vampire!

My mum says my sister was the same and had to have her filed down (back in the early 70s) but is it still considered a problem? My friend said they might have to pull them, but surely that's wrong?!
