Newborn & Baby - December 2007

My baby has a lot of gas and only wants to be held. He wakes up within ten minutes of putting him down. I'd like to know if others with this same problem had success with the Amby bed.

We have a 5mth old,who has always been rocked to sleep,or jiggled to sleep.Lately,things have changed,and at any notion of it being bedtime or naptime,we begin to rock her,she kicks,cries,jerks and fights it so bad.Ive tried to lay her down in her bed with lullaby and she does the same thing,Ive also tried laying down with her.Nothing seems to help calm her,she will not take a pacifier,she cant figure out how to suck it and keep it in her mouth.Ive given her a bottle to try to calm her,and she will drink it,but ends up throwing it up because she's not really hungry.We dont know what to do anymore to calm her.Any suggestions???and yes,we've tried swaddling,and she hates it!!

Im 33 and would like to have a child in a couple of years when my husband and I have reached our financial goals. I like kids in general, well behaved kids who have seen some discipline in their lifetime, but infants dont do it for me. diapers, screaming, burping, peeing, pooping, barfing, the thought of all that just grosses me out for a lack of better words. Am I alone or do other women out there feel the same?????

i looked it up and found on wikipedia that there isn't any evidence saying that it complicates things.. it just says to take them out while breastfeeding because one of the barbell balls could come off and lodge in the baby's throat (how horrible!!) but i'm a lot smarter than that anyways..

i guess my question is for anyone who has their nipples pierced who did experience complications.. or other way around! if you have them pierced and did not experience complications.. thanks :)

Why do they start crying when they are tired instead of just going to sleep like a normal person? Also, why do they think it's ok to urinate and defecate whenever they feel like it?

I have two week old triplet boys. Right now they are sharing a crib because they seem to only really cry when they are apart. Whenever one or two are taken away from the other one(s), they cry. I feel bad because I don't know if this is just separation anxiety or something else.

I also have three year old twins (yes multiples run in my wife's family...no fertility drugs) and when they were babies they never did this.

Any suggestions.

Also.. I am on my wife's account.

I have a little girl who is 3 weeks old today and as it's my first I'm still learning. I breast feed her but don't know if I'm doing it right. She sleeps for 3/4 hours and when she wakes up I feed her but the feeds usually take about 1 hour or more. The reason is that she falls asleep (we had the first check up last week and the doctor says to wake her up gently to see if she wants more and then try the other breast and to try to wind her between breasts). I do this and she burps ok and then falls asleep fine. The problem is that when I go to lay her down she's sick quite a lot (not all the time but usually). I'm worried that she's being sick because she's eating too much or that after she's sick she's still hungry. She doesn't cry so I assume that she's ok although she usually gets hicups after feeding so I try not to move her so much. Also when she first starts feeding she takes really big gulps and sometimes starts to choke a little so I have to sit her up right and pat her.

At first I had an easy time breastfeeding (unlike with my first son) until my milk came in. Now the baby has problems latching on correctly and I really don't even want him to feed that way they hurt so bad. Is there any way I can continue once they go down? Can I just manually pump for a while as if he was feeding that way until they soften up? How long will this last?
I was really happy breastfeeding until my boobs turned into rocks. They are worse than the csection pain. Thanks for your help!

I have a baby who is on the verge of going to one nap a day. Honestly she could go one day with 2 naps the next day with one and so on.
But I'm really not sure if she is better off giving up her morning nap or her afternoon nap. Like today she went down for a nap at 10 but most days I try not to put her down till 11:45.
I'm a little scared she is going to be a grouch by the time 8 rolls around

Hello. I am 32 weeks preg with my first and just had my baby shower this past Sat. I have a lot of clothes and blankets I need to wash before she arrives, but want to know what kind of detergent I should use? I know of the "Dreft" stuff and the "All" for babies. But... is that ALL I can use? It's just so expensive and I was wondering if any other soap that was less pricey worked for you? Obviouslly, I will spend the $ if I must, but I thought I'd check. Thanks! :)

My daughter will be 8 weeks old this week and she has been doing this cat napping thing for the last week. She NEVER sleeps longer than 20 minutes at a time. I have been adding it up on a chart I made and she is averaging ONLY 6-7 hours of sleep within a 24 hour period and of course ranging between 5-20 min at a time. My husband and I are so exhausted we cannot see straight! lol Just wondering if anyone has ever had this experience?

Our diaper champ has been awesome until about the last few weeks (our son is 11 months). It has now started to smell when we rotate it. I use the scented garbage bags, wiped it everywhere with clorox wipes when I changed it, and used some scented carpet stuff in the bottom that is for garbages too. What else can I do, any suggestions?

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?

I have an 11 week old daughter. Due to problems w/ her GI tract, and a lot of visits to children's national hospital she was unable to breast feed and put on nutramigen. Now that her Dr. says she is able to tolerate breast milk (which we didn't think could happen, but happily now can.) I have VERY little milk coming out, but it's still there. I purchased a hospital grade pump. I am unable to pump @ work, but can once in the a.m. and a few times in the p.m. @ home. I tried to get her to latch and she just becomes frustrated due to her beign used to the bottle. I really want to supplement her formula and bring my milk back, but I think it's too late. I can't pump 8x a day, only 4, and she wont latch. If I continue to try to pump like I am doing do I have a chance, or am I wasting my time...

My daughter is almost 10 months old and i seem to notice when she is stitting down usually in her high chair that she tends to hit herself in the haid or pulls her hair. She also tends to do this whiling she nursing sometimes or when she is playing. Do you think this is normal or should I be worried?

My husband and I live with my elderly parents w/DS (6 mo). My in laws have only visited twice (during DS's first 2 weeks of life) and always expect us to go there. I compromised and said we'd visit once a month (it's a 20 minute commute but my husband and I both work and I have errands to run on the weekends), sleeping over like they want us to.
But now I'm fed up with it because they NEVER come visit us. They claim they're not comfortable in our small apt. and want more than a few hours with DS. My husband sides with his family. BUT I'm fed up bc when we're there, they're always busy getting ready for a party, to head out, to go to a friend's house, etc. They only spend an hour or two with DS anyways when we're there for a full weekend!
I find it rude and disrespectful that they should do this to us. How can I get my husband to understand how unfair this is? I've tried talking to him about it but he doesn't get it.

Our baby is due in June 2008. We are planning to leave Ireland to move to the U.K. in May 2009 to live for 2 years. Sometime in 2011 we plan to move from the U.K. to the U.S. We plan on taking the cot/ or cot bed with us to the U.K. but not taking any bed with us to the U.S. What would you purchase a cot or cot bed?
