this past weekend i had to work a long shift and my fiance was out of town and he usually watches the baby on weekends while im at work but he went out of town to see his mother for the hollidays. on the weekdays my step mother watches him. well, my step mom had to work and get some last minute shopping done so i had to have my fiance's aunt watch my son ( who is 8 1/2 months old). i always pack everything to included breastmilk and soldids and everyone knows that i am very strict with what i give my son. well, i packed some food for my son and while i was at work my fiance returned and picked our son up from his aunts-he didnt tell m e this until the next day but she was giving him CHEETOES. i was so mad by this. i know it wasnt going to kill him but she knows how i am and it's not her baby to be giving junk food not to mention that some dairy gives him diarrhea. it's not good for adults so why on earth wouldd it be good for a baby- he doesnt even have any teeth

If you go to the hospitol having contractions and not dialating do they still send you home? because you obviously dont have to be dialated to have a c section. im confused about this. I know they will send you home if nothing progresses if your having a natural birth but what do they do if your having a c section? and your full term?
btw i am 3 cm and 50 % effaced

Each side has issues with the other side. Each side makes the other side feel defensive about their choices and decisions. How should both sides smooth over relations with the other while remaining true to their own beliefs?

Additionally, although I don't have children of my own, I definitely plan to breastfeed. I admit that I believe breast is best, but I would never openly criticize a bottlefeeding mom for her choice.

Also, I am not looking for derogatory responses directed towards either side. Just productive suggestions because I have seen nasty debates several times over and it drives me insane.

I am married and going to college while I work full time (school is part time) and I found out that I am pregnant. My husband is happy he wants the baby but I don't think we make enough money to comfortably support one. I want to finish school that's my number 1 (obviously baby will become number 1 soon enough) but I want to know if anyone else has been able to do it, I need some inspiration. It's going to be really hard I think :/ I take right now 2-3 classes (depending on difficulty) I have my AA and working toward BA.

Thanks in advance everyone :P

Hey

My cousin has 2 week baby boy and this question is really for her. She wants to buy a sling or baby carrier bit isn't sure where from. Some shops sell them but i found that there is alot more variety on the internet.

She's afraid she won't know how to tie it and stuff, so do you think its better she gets it from a shop where they'll probably show her how to tie it, or should she get one from the internet.

Thanks

My baby is about 6 weeks old and I've been feeding her about 3 ounces of formula every 3 hours. Now she's been crying after she 's done as if shewants more. She stops crying within a few minutes. Should I be giving her more? 4 ounces just seems like so much.

My baby came home on Similac Advanced, but made him very gassy and fussy, was then switched to Similac Sensitive by my Ped. and did not help and started to make his poop firm, so I then was told to switch to Isomil, which he is on now, and is not fussy or gassy anymore, but very constipated! I told my ped. I wanted to try Enfamil? He gave me samples, but I hope it doesn't bring the gas back! Has anyone tried going back to milk based form soy and seen good results?

How far apart is your baby's last nap from bedtime?
How many naps are they taking and for how long? How often are they waking at night?

I have been researching Dr. Sear's website and his alternative recommended vaccine schedule for infants/children. We see my baby boy's doc tomorrow for his two month appointment and I am going to let her know that we prefer to follow his schedule. He feels that it is most important not to overload a tiny baby's body with multiple immunizations because when a baby get four to six shots at once it can be too much for their little system to handle and can result in more adverse side effects or reactions. I couldn't believe that a doc would actually give four to six separate injections to a two month old! That freaked me out. Dr. Sear's recommends that babies get two vaccines a month from two months to eight months, and he suggests that vaccines for diseases and illnesses that are actually infecting children today be given first, versus other vaccines for diseases and illnesses.

Do you follow Dr. Sear's schedule for your infant/child and how has it worked out for you?

My 3 month old is always putting his fingers in his mouth. Sometimes he tries to get his whole fist in there! My hubby thinks he's hungry. I don't. Most of the time he's just eaten. Do you think he could be teething? He's also throwing up a little after each feeding. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Anyone else have this happen with their baby?

I have a 6wks old little boy who I breastfed until he was 5wks. We put him on Similac Sensitive because he stayed gassy and fussy on the breast and the lactation specialist told me to go on the caveman diet and I can't do boiled chicken 24/7. For the first 4 days or so he was Great!!! But now he's fussy again and seems like he's not getting enough. He's eating 4oz every 1.5 to 2 hours. Doctor said to put rice in his bottle, which I don't have a problem with but I wanted to get some more advice. Thanks for your help.

We feed her baby cereal, mashed bananas in breast milk, applesauce, and baby food (stage one) veggies. She enjoys eating and thinks it is a fun "game" but when she finishes she wants her bottle and still drinks 8-10 ounces! I am pumping and feeding breast milk in a bottle and I am having a hard time keeping up with her. How do I help her understand that food is nourishment, not just fun, and help her fill up a little bit on food so she doesn't drink quite as much milk? I know she should be getting most of her nourishment from breastmilk/formula still, but I was hoping "solid" foods might eliminate a few ounces of milk per day or per feeding and keep her full longer. She really enjoys sucking and I think the bottle is soothing to her, but I have been told not to put cereal in the bottle with the milk. What should I do?

May sound dumb but I am scared =( My daughter had severe colic for about 6 weeks and I am scared that once she starts to teethe it will be just as bad?
Do they scream like colicky screams? Or is it just a general unhappy fussiness? Does it get worse at night? Are they consolable? What works best?
I know all are different, but she is my 1st and just looking for points of view. She is only 15 weeks, but it's on the horizon.

Being on maternity leave after a csection caused us to have money problems that we're still catching up from. He never offers to help with the baby unless I'm obviously stressing, tired, or asking him too. I work all week asked for one day a weekend to sleep in, which he agreed was fair, that was a month ago and I still haven't gotten a break to sleep in as late as I want. He doesn't spend any time with us, he just plays world of warcraft. He says he loves me, and he tells me all the time how he's so shocked that I'm still with him, why do I put up with him.. But he doesn't stop doing all of these things that just make my life harder. My instinct says that he's distancing himself, what do you think? Before I got pregnant it wasn't like this. But we also had money to go do things from time to time. I just want to cuddle on the couch, is that too much to ask? sex is still great though and often.
