I think my daughter is getting too used to being held by me all the time. I tried all day to put her down once she fell asleep in my arms and she woke up less then 30 seconds later and would begin screaming.

They say you can't spoil a new born, but I am beginning to disagree with that. She is in her crib right now. Should I let her cry it out or is she still too young?

PS My son was much different, he liked being in his bouncer and crib so I am at a loss on how to deal with this.

Thanks.

My son is 6 months old. When he was 2-3 months he slept 9.5 hours straight a night. Now he goes to sleep at 8/9 ish sleeps until 2am (if i'm lucky) eats and goest back to sleep, but then he is waking up at 4 am and waking up about 3-4 times in between 4am and 7am. I have a three year old who slept all night at 8 weeks old. I am in desperate need of a full night sleep, my husband helps, but it's still hard. I need any advice I can get. Someone told me to let him cry, but i'm not sure if that is ok at this age. Any help would be great!! Thanks

She doesn't like to look at the person holding her. She can and does make eye contact and smiles at people she recognizes, but when some one who is holding her trys to talk to her, she turns her head.

Okay...this is happening as we speak. My husband comes home from work and then tells me he's taking our 11 month old with him to the mall...just the two of him. Why am i feeling panicked and lost? and a bit left out? I know its good that they spend time together and that i get a moment to myself...but whenever she's out of my sight, i feel lost. Stories? Talk some sense into me!

I was trying to figure out about how much parents spend on there infants during their first christmas. I am currently out of work and a single parent so I dont have much to spend. But, I was wondering what the average for someone that young is. She has plenty of clothes so I'de be buying her toys and dvds. She love's the baby einstein toys I got her their set of 24 dvds on ebey for about 50 bucks and a jumper for around 90. Plus some small little gifts like teethers and light up toys. All in all I probably spent 350 (which has mostly been charged). But, do yall think that is about right?

We are moving to a 2 bedroom and I am wondering if i should use the 2nd bedroom as a nursery and put the crib in there with my 7 month old son. Or should we keep our child sleeping in our room (his crib in our room) and use the 2nd room for our vanity table dresser and our desk. I like the idea of giving my child his own very colorful bright room but am very scared to let him sleep in his own room. The two rooms are right next to eachother.. share a wall and both doors are also right next to eachother... WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Yesterday I posted about my son having diarrhea after 2 days of squash but then 2 regualar days. Now he has it again after 2 days of sweet potatos. I am nervous b/c I dont know why. He doesnt have any type rash to indicate allergy to the food and actually feels great like normal. He just has runny runny runny diapers. What do you think and should I call the doctor? Im thinking they will just say to keep him hydrated since he feels fine.

I also think he might be teething. Could that be the reason for the tummy trouble? Poor baby!!!

Me is 3 months old, I know its my fault, cos I cuddled him to sleep a lot during the day, but now he wont goto sleep without me. I have tried putting him in his cot, he just screams and screams. If I put him in his bouncy chair, he just stares about until he is so tired he is hysterical. It would be so nice just to be able to put him down somewhere when he is tired and for him to go to sleep, lol.
He will sleep when out in his buggy, but I dont really want to take him out 3 times a day!

I have a 9 month old son and me and my husband have decided that when he is about 1 1/2 yrs old we would like to start trying for our second child. Our son is an extremely light sleeper he wakes up with almost any noise. We have a white noise machine in his room that plays during the night so we are able to watch tv downstairs and talk. We live in an older house and it is not insulated at all and the bedrooms are right next to eachother. My husband is concerned that when we have the second child, when the baby cries that our son will wake up every time and we will have 2 crying all the time! Has this happened to anyone and does the older child just learn to sleep through it? He seems really worried about this and when he asked I really didn't have an answer! Thanks

This Q:

(summary: told baby was ugly by troll, ended up sobbing at keyboard)

bothered me a lot.

Like others, I've had e-mail/answers telling me I'm ugly, my baby's ugly, I'm fat, I'm bitter, and those seem to be the stock one-size-fits-all insults. I am none of the above and my baby is a doll. So -- shrug.

However. I have no post-partum depression or self-esteem issues. That sort of vitriol might devastate anybody who does.

One person's 'I feel fat' question was swiftly troll-answered with a nasty remark and a link to a picture of herself, at a URL that also held a pic of a regular poster's baby... That stalker element was a bit much, too.

Like I said, that question I linked to really made me upset. Making new mothers cry is going well beyond attention-seeking. It's vile.

So -- do something? What?

Can anybody point me to the best site(s) for comparing the various brands available?

How are they for overnight use? For poopsplosions?

Your recommendations for particular kinds are welcome; my only fussiness right now is that I cannot stand polyester fleece, which seems to be on a lot of cloth diapers. If you like a brand without, tell me!

I have breastfed my son since birth and expected to stop at six months. Once I realized they need formula or breastmilk for the first year I decided that breastmilk is best and will continue. BUT I'm totally not okay with breastfeeding my son once he sits up to eat. I'm not comfortable at all with him doing this, I'm okay with breastfeeding right now because he lays down to eat. How weird is that? Am I wrong?

I have tried all kinds of formula. Enfamil and Similac. The soy based formula constipates him, the hypoallergetic milk does not elimate the spitting up. I have talked to the doctor and we are at a stalemate with the Nutramigen formula. Would it be safe to just say he is a "spit up baby", that is what I am continuing to hear.

My pediatrician told me to give my 8 week old apple prune juice undiluted, in between feeding, but my son then does not want to take his bottle of formula! Can I put the juice in the formula? Has anyone done this? How much and does it affect the nutrition of the formula? I asked my ped, if I could put it in the bottle and he said no, becuase it may make it taste bad, but what is the difference when some people add Karo syrup to bottles! Help!

Why do women protest so much about breastfeeding in public?It really annoys me because they may feel they are doing a good job etc etc (heard it all before), but what they don't think about is what if parents haven't spoken to their young children about sex education and where baqbies come from yet this would distress a child to see this and force the parents into having to talk about it before their ready which just isnt fair. I think its all well and good that women breast feed if they choose to but is it absolutley necessary to actually get em out in public?Sometimes feel as though they do it because they feel in a way proud of it and want every one to see them do it and then winge if anyone remarks.i work in a shop at weekend where i fit childrens shoes,and it absolutley horrible when women come in and breastfeed because i have to be on my knees when i do fitting and theyr like in my face doing it its so unfair i jus dnt want to see that.Anyone agree?
