I am 24 years old and married. we just had a bay who will be a month old on the 20th. I was going in to have my tubes tied in the middle of january but hubby doesn't want me to he wants to try for another baby ( try for a boy we have 3 girls) in the next year or so. How do I tell him I don't want to keep trying with out diappointing him or hurting his feelings? Or are there less premanet but effictive birth control methods we could try. I am breast feeding our 3 weeks old.

i think now is the time for her 1st major growth spurt (10-14 days) but it seems like the only time she is content is when she is on the "boob". Last night, I was so exhausted...so i gave her formula (she doesnt like bottles too much, so it took her awhile to take 1 ounce) But i got hubby to give her another ounce about an hour later and she seemed to take it better from him ( i guess with me giving her a bottle, she doesnt want it cuz she can smell the breastmilk)
She does take a paci, but not for very long. She seems so fussy lately (even before i supplemented with formula) I am almost thinking just to wean to formula. i have a 23 month old that is striving for attention, too...and with her attached to me all day, it is not helping the attention issue with big brother.

Any suggestions

Should I call 911 and wait for paramedics ?

Should I drive the child to a hospital ?

or Should I grab him and jump in the shower with him to rinse out his eyes and dilute the poison on his face ?

OK, so I feel like the worst mother in the world, but I just felt frustrated that my 3 week old daughter would not go to sleep and was unsettled and crying and I got "angry" and yelled at her (just asking, "whats wrong") ! I also handled her firmly (wrapped her tightly, don't panic everyone) as I was just so tired. My husband works night shift and isn't here to help me and its 2am ! Has anyone else felt like this, or is there something wrong with me ??

isn't gaining enough. At her 6 month check up yesterday she weighed only 15 lb 6 oz. At birth she weighed 9 lb 5 oz. She nurses 6-7 times a day and sleeps through the night. So that equals to 2-3 hours between feedings.
The doctor told me to start solids and then wait 4-5 hours between feedings. Isn't that going to hurt my supply? I thought frequent nursing made supply go up not postponing feedings. And do solids help with weight gain? I don't know if she's really getting enough liquid because I don't think she has 6-8 soaking wet diapers a day. And when I pump I can only get out AT MOST 2 1/2 oz.
I'd really like to keep breastfeeding but I am willing to BF in the morning and before bed but formula feed during the day if that would help her gain better
Please give any advice. Maybe I'm just too worried and she's growing just fine and isn't a chubby baby. She's very happy and content most of the time.

I have a baby (my first) who will be two months old December 18. I remember when I was pregnant thinking "how can anyone get post-partum depression? I will be so happy when the baby comes" And I was happy when the baby came. But since then we've had to move (not an easy thing to do in winter with a newborn) and my car has broke down so I'm stuck here at the new place with no transportation. My husband has been working all day and is still moving stuff from the old place which leaves me alone a lot. I've been really moody and most nights end with us fighting and me sleeping alone in my room with the baby and him on the couch. It's a downward spiral. On one hand, yes i'm moody/sad/angry and depressed for a number of reasons. On the other hand, I feel like a single mother despite the fact that I'm with my husband. He does not understand what it's like and is not very supportive. What should I do?If not for my baby I think I'd kill myself right now. She's the only thing worth living for.

I started my son a few days ago. He had begun waking up more often than usual prior to the solids, but he wakes up about every two hours. I am trying to figure out a possible cause. He's not too hot, not too cold, only eats once or twice (and not that many ounces), pj's are comfy, etc.

I've had 3 kids, #4 on the way, and with 2 out of my 3 so far I was able to breastfeed with no problems beyond the norm. My daughter couldn't feed due to her own health, not mine.
But why do the breast nazis act like they're saving the world by breastfeeding, and critisizing other women who don't or can't? It's not exactly the hardest thing in the world for most people, it's what nature intended. I personally found getting up in the middle of the night to make my daughter's bottles a damn sight harder than breastfeeding!
So who do these people think they are?

I need some advice from any experienced breastfeeding moms out there. I've found that my daughter is particularly fussy when breasfeeding in the afternoons/evenings the last week and I need help!
I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old daughter, born 6 weeks premature so I was pumping and bottle feeding for the first 4 1/2 weeks. We're breastfeeding normally now, about every 2 - 3 hours during the day, every 3 - 4 hours at night. She feeds for 25-30 minutes each time and is having lots of soaking wet diapers.
What worries me is that the past week she's been particularly fussy at her evening feedings and I'm not sure what could be wrong. She squirms and pulls away at the nipple like there's none there & cries. When I try to express a bit manually, there's lots there. I know she's not getting a full feeding in the evening because of this. I'm concerned about my supply diminishing because of these poorer evening feedings so I'm starting to pump again.
Suggestions?

I am looking at all of these and wanted to know if anyone has done this and what they recommend. I don't know if i want the one with the changing table part on top or what. I live in a tiny apartment so I won't have room for a crib just yet. Are all of these a 15 pound weight limit? How long will a baby stay under 15 pounds?

I am currently pregnant and was seriously interested in using a cloth diaper service. I know they give you a special deoderized pail, but everytime my child has a bowel movement do I have to dump it out in the toilet, and then toss the soiled diaper in the pail?? If anyone has used this kind of service give me your advice on how you liked/disliked it, and if anyone has used this service while living in a gated apartment building, how did they come in to retrieve the soiled diapers if you were not home to buzz them in??

OK - I've been breastfeeding for 8 months now...everything has been fine. All the sudden...in the last few days - my left nipple has been very sore - especially when she is nursing from that side. It's not cracked or anything....not sure what is going on. Milk supply is fine...and baby doesn't notice a difference. Does anyone know what could be the problem.....or ever had that problem yourself? THANKS

I posted this is the health and beauty section but I thought I would try the infant section , maybe someone is or has gone thru this before.

Okay my 20mth old daughter has VERY thick curly hair , but the problem is her hair is dry. I tried using the johnson & johnson line for her hair and that makes it even worse. I do not want to mess her hair up by using adult products on it , and I even tried this new line especially for babies called Baby Love , it works at the time but by the end of the day her hair is dry again. Someone please help me , lol . I need a remedy to control her curly dry hair .
