Newborn & Baby - December 2007

Ok, i'll be having my 1st baby in around a month & i already bought some cute clothes for him but don't know how to wash them =S i know this is kind of silly but i'm serious!

Do i have to wash them by hand? or can i use the washing machine? If so what kind of detergent? Is tide & downy ok? i use this for my clothes... What about the dryer?? Can i use it? & the strips that go in the dryer with the clothes??

I know, lots of questions but please enlighten me <3
Thanx & God Bless

Im just looking for some reviews from you guys and girls on the Kirkland Brand (Costco Brand) diapers. How did they work for your baby? Did they leak? How do they hold up?

My friend had a little girl 2 weeks ago and today @ her 2 week check up she was told that the CF test they do in the hospital @ birth came back positive and they are re-testing and she will have results in 3 weeks. They also told her there is a high "false positive" rate.
Has anyone heard of this?
I am a CF carrier, and had to go to genetic counseling when my husband and I were in infertility treatment (he ended up not being a carrier) and never heard of this screen on infants...do they do it to them all? Are there false positives?? I just want to ease her mind.

I'm just curious, I hadn't really thought about it that much but I have an 8 week old baby. I am planning on waiting 18 months before TTC again and I wanted to see what other women did after c-section, since you are encouraged to wait around 18 months to make sure you're fully healed.

Pardon, but I'm asking here b/c I get few answers in the Preg section:
I'm about 35-37 weeks; my belly is as hard as a rock; how long did this last before real labor kicked in? I'm also experiencing a constant pain; period like cramps; but it's constant... the baby's movements hurt and my back hurts too.

DH and I were NOT intending to get pregnant right now, since money is extremely tight, but that's life, eh? Anyway, I have a lavish (ha!) budget of $400.00 over the next six months to buy baby supplies.

My inlaws offered to buy a new carseat with all the current safety features. I can get a lightly used crib that complies with current safety recommmendations from a friend for free. I can sew well and am more than willing to make sleepers, receiving blankets and the like, if I can't get hand-me-downs.

Would love to know what other low-budget mothers have done for baby supplies. What are the ABSOLUTE essentials? Is there anything, other than a carseat, that MUST be purchased new?

I have no problems at all with second hand stuff, as long as it's safe and serviceable, and I don't care in the least about logos, brand-names, or matchy-matchy baby stuff.

My son is not constipated since he does have 2-3 bowel movements in a day, however, a few of the times he seems to be applying too much pressure and is in a lot of pain as if he is trying to relieve himself without success. Is there any remedy for this?

I am planning on Nursing my son for over a year, if he is willing but I just have a few questions....

When they get older, how many times a day on average are they Nursing?

Is it more for comfort or is it nutrition too?

Also, will I be ridiculed for my desicion to nurse beyond a year? (in your experience)

Whenever I see a question about extended nursing, there is a least one person that is putting it down.Why is that really?

Sorry for all the questions! And thanks to anyone that answers!

I mean, why don't people answer the question, and if they can't, move on to another question?

"she's one and she still breastfeeds? oh no no no." Please!

I breast fed my children because it's what I chose to do but I've noticed on other questions that some women who breast fed their babies give rude answers about women who chose not to. I understand all about breast milk being better and healthier but there are different reasons why women don't do it and it is their choose to make.

Why do women who breast feed look down on women who don't?

I am full of questions today....
My 3 month old will only sleep on her belly. She has a milk protein allergy that caused severe gassiness and colic till about 8 weeks (nutramigen helped but still had the colic) Per her Dr. we let her sleep on her belly after she could move her head from side to side by herself. It relieved the belly pressure and she would pass gas happily in her sleep (even burp!) She has slept next to me for 3 months and I can hear every little move she makes, and I haven't been paranoid, but she is getting ready to move to crib away from me. I have tried to have her fall asleep on back, even nap, and no way. If I flip her over she is out like a light. Should I be scared to have her tummy sleep w/ out supervision? Should I wait to move her to crib till she can roll over herself? She can pick her head up on belly now, but not roll. She is becoming very uncomfortable in her bassinett/pack and play due to her size,anyone else have belly sleepers? Dont yell @ me

My milk supply is low because she is not feeding very long, but she wants to feed often, about every 45 mins. to an hour. She gets fussy and comes off or falls asleep and then wants to eat again. My breast feel empty and I'm not sure if she is getting anything when she feeds so often. I had been to a lactation consultant already as she was losing a lot of wieght but since has gained a bit but not back to her birth weight yet. How can I increase my supply of breast milk so she can go longer between feeds and start gaining more weight?

If your child sleeps through the night or wakes up once or twice. What time do you put them to bed? What is your childs night time sleep schedule? Down at what hour, up for feeding at what hour, back down?...etc.

Thanks...trying to get my daughter in a better routine for sleeping/feeding....she seems to get up so often. 2 month old.
