Newborn & Baby - December 2007

I'm quite sure he hasn't banged his head recently. Just today I noticed a really big bump under the hair. No bruise or colour (blue or red), he's very happy. Should I worry? Should I take him to the hospital in the morning?

Everyone keeps telling me that my 8 week old is gaining weight too quickly and that i should give him water at night instead of feeding him so he'll sleep longer. I read in one of my books that you shouldn't give water to a breast feed baby because they are getting the water they need from the milk. Please help because i'm so confused right now. btw, his birth weight was 7lbs, and today he weighed in at 12.08lbs. his length was 20.4 at birth and is now 23.5 inches.

She has had no fever or rash, but she has been especially cranky. Her stomach rumbles so loud and it vibrates your hands when you are holding her. Any suggestions to what could be going on?

She actually stopped feeding, sat the kid up, and reached into her pocket for the phone, and started yammering away. I didnt know what to make of it! What do you think- would you do that?

I have 2 sons. 1 is going to be 4 in February and the other is 19 days old. I'm having a dilemma that I'm sure someone has the solution to! How in the world do you find time to shower, use the bathroom, fix yourself up, etc.? I mean I do have the time to do it I know, but I am so afraid to leave the children unattended! I can't say "Hey Ashton, keep an eye on the baby while mommy goes to the potty", lol. I am not alone, I'm married, but my hubby works after hours alot. How do you manage to get cleaned up? Somehow I manage to get a shower and brush my teeth everyday, but it's because I get my 3 year old in the shower with me and put baby in his vibrating chair outside the bathroom door so I can still see him. I know there is another way to do this, to actually have some alone time, without my son seeing all of my goods, lol!!! HELP ME MOMS!!!

them yet because she hasn't stared at them in amazement. I think its possible that she could discover them without doing that, but how do I know if she has dicovered her hands and feet, or if sucking on her hands and grabing her feet is an uncounciouse thing.

For the babies that take alimentum or neocate formula, how did your baby tolerate rice cereal? My daughter is now 4 months old and the doctor said we can start or wait til 6 months we both agreed it wuold be best to wait 6 months since she has such a sensitive stomach but I am just curious as to how your son/daughter did? My doctor said sometimes not always but sometimes even though the baby has a hard time with the formula they might be able to be okay with the rice cereal...so I was just wondering what you experienced...thanks for answers in advance!!

Everybody tells us we need to contract someone or ask for family in order to help us on the first weeks after birth... we do not see it that way. What is your personal experience ?

I had decided I would really not like my baby using them as they are hard to give up and I dont like the sight of toddlers walking round with them in, but Ive heard they reduce SIDS by 50%.

She does not speak english and i cant understand very much spanish. Am i wrong for not feeling comfortable with letting her watch my baby while we r gone for a couple days? I feel uncomfortable with it bc i cant commuicate with her even though he can i want to be able to talk to her and tell her things about the baby and things she likes and what she is used to. and plus i want her to be able to play with my nephew who is 4 months older than her so she will be occupied some while we r gone bc she has never spent a night away from us much less been gone away from us for a very long period at a time!! I need advice about what i should do!!!

i have a 7 and a half month old daughter who has what seems to be a pretty bad diaper rash. i didnt even notice it till early this morning when she would not sleep (it seemed to be bothering her pretty bad) i was unsure of why she would not sleep so i did the commen sence things... rocked her, fed her, changed her. but when i changed her i notice she had pooped, and while i was wiping her she started screaming so i stopped. i wiped again and her legs started shaking and she started screaming again. thats when i realized she had a terrible diaper rash. the only diaper rash cream that i have is "Butt Paste." it is very easy to come off so i didnt wanna put that on her because it would not give much protection. so i put her old yeast infection cream on her hoping that would hold over till morning. now i am uncertain as to what to use. should i stick to the butt paste? even though as soon as the diaper touches it it wipes off? is there any really good creams? please give some advice!!
