Newborn & Baby - December 2007

Any suggestions on this? I don't use a lot in my food but definitely like to sautee it with onions in almost all staple pasta or egg dishes. It's been 6 plus years since a baby and I didn't eat much garlic back then. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

He was 20 1/2 inches @ birth. He fell off his growth chart, but developmentally he's fine, and all the intial tests came back clean (x-rays, bloodwork, scans of head and abdomen)
Has anyone else heard of a baby this size at 1 year? (about 18 lbs, little less than 27 inches)
I'm just so worried!!

if you breast feed what do you do when your baby is hungry and you are out and about? do you excuse yourself to a private area? what about friends' houses? is there places you absolutely wouldnt breastfeed?

i'm an expectant mother and i'm not sure what the etiquet on this is, but i def plan to breastfeed.

In the middle of the night I feel so upset that I want to hit something. So I put the baby down to cry and go to my own bed. I am a very good mother, but he is 6 months old and still wakes up 4 times at least! I am not waking up well anymore. And when he eats and than wont' go back to sleep, I can't seem to handle it. I am a very loving person that doesnt' fucntion at nightime (I was fine for hte first 3 months, and than I just couldnt' seem to wake up properly 4 times a night or more). And I put him down and just leave. I feel so bad, but in the mornings and day, I am fine. but at nighttime when he is screaming, I just want to hit something and burst into tears. I dont' think I am sleep deprirved because I nap lots! So I do get to sleep.

My newborn loves to lay on his back and look around. But he throws up every time he is on his back. If I keep him on his back, he keeps throwing up. He doesn't do this while sitting up. The hardest thing is that I am breast feeding so I don't have an unlimited supply of food for him if he throws up too much. I even have to lay him to sleep on his side because he vomits all night if I don't. Why does this happen and how can I stop it???

I'm currently 7 months pregnant. My dad keeps trying to come up with an idea for a service that him and my mother can pay for to help out my husband and I after the baby is born.

First he wanted me to check on pricing for a maid. While that idea isn't completely out of the question it might be a little difficult. By difficult I mean he wants to pay for a maid that actually would do dishes and help with laundry, different things that would be helpful while getting used to the baby. The second thing is I really think a maid service like that is probably going to cost too much, in my opinion.

His second idea was to pay for a diaper service. My husband and I are doing cloth diapers for multiple reasons. After researching a diaper service I realized that you don't get to have your own diapers. You are using diapers that other have used. Plus I don't like the fact that someone else would be washing my baby's diapers with Lord knows what products. To be continued...

My 5 month old is on solids and doing great. He's a very good eater. He has gone through all the first veggies now. Tried each one at a time and I waited 3-5 days inbetween each one. He loves them all. I am wondering if I should go ahead and start him on the fruits or keep with the veggies for a couple weeks? I dont want to start the fruits and have him hate the veggies afterwards. But I just love letting him try new things. And also, since he hasnt had any reactions is it alright to give him 2 different veggies at one meal, or in one day?

Why when I try to pump milk using my breastpump does it seem to take so long to get a few drops of milk out? Its so much effort that I find it easier just to be around the baby all the time. This is my second child - I had same frustration with the first although I did breastfeed for 6 months, but didnt express

My baby is just over 3 weeks - Im lucky to pump 2 ounces within an hour and a half

Any advice as to breast pumps. Is 2 ounces a good amount for a newborn?

I even bought another manual breastpump, thinking the first was faulty, but same problem with small amount a milk a time

Also, if I drank breast milk now as an adult will I get sick from it?

My wife reads a lot of books about child raising. One interesting thing she told me was that if you listen to certain music it can have an effect on your child, such as classical music making them smarter.
My wife and I are both caucasian, and trace our ancestries back to Scandanavia. However my youngest son has very African features, including wavy hair and a VERY dark complexion.
My wife says this is because she listened to a lot of Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye during her pregnancy.
Is this possible?

I have a baby boy and he is now just about 7months old and has only ever slept thru the night once! he goes down at 6/6.30pm everynight(cant get him down any earlier as hes so active during the day hes knackered come 6pm at night). Hes very good at goin down and goin to sleep himself but around 1,1.30am he'l wake up and not go back down until hes had a feed then he goes straight back down to sleep, but then will be up at 4.30 am for another feed then back down till 8/9am. Hes been teething since 6weeks old and has 4 teeth with more coming through, is this why he keepes getting up or is there something else, any ideas on how to maybe get him sleeping the night?( I am breastfeeding him but cut it out at night and give him a bottle instead as i thought he was just using my breast as a comfort thing,but it hasnt seem to have made any difference)

I know when I was a child my mom used cloth diapers, but know nothing about them. My third question is, do you just use the cloth diaper or do you put some type of plastic or material inside so it doesn't leak? The cloth diapers we have now and use as burp cloths are so thin. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I really want to cloth diaper my baby when he comes (end of January/beginning of February).

The sites I have been to that sell them all talk about running them through a cold rinse cycle and then washing them in hot water and then running them through a rinse cycle again.
Is this necessary or can you just wash them?

The reason I ask is because we live in an apartment and have to pay $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. I'd really rather not spend $4.50 every other day just on washing alone, especially since we can't hang dry them.


Is there any other way to do it so I don't have to do more than one wash cycle? rinsing in the toilet maybe? Its my first baby so I'm new to it all. Please let me know if you have ideas or what worked for you if you've done it.

Thanks

i know that post partum depression usually brings with it feelings of not being able to care for the baby. i am wondering, does anyone have experience with post partum that is not that severe but is still considered post partum depression? for example, there are no negative feelings about the baby or being able to care for the baby. instead, there is an increased propensity for crying, a general feeling of loneliness, a constant but low level state of anxiety, etc. i am not sure where the legitimate challenges of new motherhood end and real post partum depression begins. any ideas??
