Health Problems Are Common
Babies with Down syndrome tend to develop more slowly than other babies do. They may start walking later than other babies. About half are born with heart defects, which means there is something different with the way their hearts developed. Usually, these problems can be corrected by surgery.

I am currently looking for a new apartment and have been told by several people that garden apartments are not safe for babies. Does anyone know why? I'm thinking it has something to do with lots of dust being collected or the possibility of mold or because it could be too cold and drafty? I don't like garden apartments anyhow, so I won't ever be moving into one, I am just curious as to why they shouldn't live there, nobody has really given me an answer except that they just shouldn't!

My daughter is 5 and half month old she started sleeping through the night when she was about 3 months old, from about 9 to 7. Her doctor said she has a tooth coming in and last night she was up every 2 hours. Has this happen to anybody? I even gave her tylenol to help with the pain.

I saw a woman on tv a while back claiming she could understand what babies wanted by the sounds they make, shes written a book and the mothers that took part in an experiment said it was correct, do you believe this?

Since saturday my son has had a cold and cough. Also he has cut two teeth. He is drinking very little and now has diarrhoea. I have also noticed he is very windy, coming from both ends. He will take so much of his feed and then will scream and take no more.
He is still quite happy within himself and will laugh and smile.
I have taken him to the doctors twice and they have put it down to his cold.
I am at my wits end as I am worried as he is not feeding properly. I can just about get him to take 2oz of water.

Any one else had a baby that has been poorly like this?

Please, I am just asking for advice and I know that no one is medically qualifed here.

Be honest. And we want 6-8 (have 2 right now). Kids are only as expensive as you make them. I luckily have rich family who give me all the VERY nice hand me downs and great insurance, I pay close to nothing! :)

I'm having trouble producing breastmilk and a doctor that's taking care of my son in the NICU prescribed me Reglan. I'm reading that it's for gastrointestinal problems and says nothing whatsoever about helping increase breastmilk production. Has anyone else ever taken this medicine? If so, did it help your production? Thanks in advance.

I'm the grandmother of 9 month old girl who has just been designated as a state licensed foster care provider in order to take care of my granddaughter while my oldest daughter gets her life back on track. Sadie is very healthy and right on target physically and emotionally. (Her mom had her problems, but did exceptionally well with her) She's been in state custody for a month now and was finally placed with us today, a wonderful early Christmas present. I just have a few questions for you younger parents out there. It's been 16 years since my youngest was an infant and I've been reading "What to Expect the First Year" but I have questions. 1. At this age my kids slept about 10/12 hrs per night. Does that sound about right? 2. The book talks about giving them whole grain bread rather than white. I don't remember giving them bread at this age. She has teeth coming in but nothing that could chomp anything up. 3. Cheerios, bananas cut up in small pieces, eggs, cottage cheese? Thanks.

I just saw the trailer to "The Business of Being Born" and I'm going to see the full-length version with another friend at an auditorium at our University soon. My question is: after watching his clip, do you believe that he is doing the same thing to me? I believe in my heart that my first c-section was unnecessary and he just wanted to get back to his office and then go home for the day. I'm scheduled for another one on the 26th of December and I really don't want to do it. I really would like to experience a natural birth, something that women were suppose to be able to do. It saddens me to think that I may never experience this. My doctor also "does not allow vaginal births after c-sections". WTF do I do??? How do I fight the system? Apparently, Ricki Lake, the executive producer of this film had a c-section with her first child and succeeded in "beating the system" with her second.

I had a baby 9 months ago and about two months later I have had problems going to the bathroom. Every time I use it my rectum hurts like the worst pain in the world (worst than having a baby) & it keeps getting worst. I went to my gyno & she says she can't find any fissures and she referred me to a surgeon, Im going tomorrow but i can't sleep because Im scared it might be something more serious. Has anyone ever had this problem or might know what it could be?

tatoo while breastfeeding? It's a no-brainer to know it's not safe during pregnancy, but I was wondering if the whole toxic-shock thing would be relevant in breastfeeding. If its safe to use tampons...then wouldnt it that be safe? I'm just wondering.

My baby has a temp of 101 rectally.........of course I will monitor it and I will contact my Dr if it goes over 102.......I did give him some tylenol. I am always afraid to just give meds. Is this ok? He is teething but I read that teething does not cause elevated temp. I just get so nervous when I think something is wrong with him.......

My friends son was circumcised at birth, however he just turned 6 months old and at his last doctors apt. the doctor had said the foreskin is reattaching to the head of his penis. She said his doctor acted like it was pretty normal and to keep pulling the skin back gently at every diaper change and putting vasaline on it each time. We were just wondering if anybody else has had this problem? And if so, how long did it take it to unattach? Thanks
