Newborn & Baby - December 2007

I had to go to an urgent care clinic because my pediatricians office had no openings... the doc at the urgent care clinic said my babies ear looked a little red and that she has a bit of an ear infection. She didnt want to prescribe antibiotics or draw bood but gave us numbing ear drops. my baby fusses A LOT when she eats because it hurts and sleeps a lot, if shes not shes fussing. Can a "little redness" in thr ear cause so much grief or did we get a crappy opinion/doctor? please help, she's so unhappy... 9wks and breastfed.

My 12 year old son went to his friends house, fhey went to the pool and I found out they were sitting in the hottub for almost the whole time (3-4 hours)

My son is home now, his skin looks different. It looks very dried out as if there is no moisture left in his skin. He also says its itchy sometimes.

What should I be doing?

right now it is 36 degrees outside but with the wind chill it is 26 degrees outside. Can the cold weather make a child sick?

Are there any rules specific to having pets like cats or dogs around newborns, or in the same house? I don't own any pets but I am about to give birth and we were thinking about getting a kitten later on down the road, maybe when our baby is about 2 or 3 years old. I don't know if it's safe for the kitten though! Or the baby!

My 13 month old woke up this morning with one eye that is puffy and just keeps producing eye goobers. It is not red or pink. She seems irritated by it but not mad or uncomfortable. Is the tear duct clogged? Is there anything I can to do try to get the tears moving again?

Just had my son 9 weeks ago. I have lost 30 lbs so far from giving birth and breastfeeding. Not really eating that healthy or exercising. So i have that extra 30 lbs just sitting on me and IT NEEDS TO COME OFF! I have NEVER been this heavy but under the circumstances I indulged in food ... for the baby of course LOL!
I have used a treadmill for about 5 yrs now to maintain a healthy weight and just to be in shape.
The belt is shredding now so I am wondering, should I purchase a new more upgraded treadmill OR try an eliptical and have a total body work out?
I only want to spend max of 300. I know i can get a good treadmill for that price but can i get a good eliptical? I am not sure since i have never stepped foot on one.
Please help! I want to lose 30 lbs! I did start eating healthy but cant really diet due to breastfeeding. So the equipments i use has to be good! ADVISE ANYONE?

My baby is 7 months old and desperately wants to crawl but can't figure it out yet!
Whereas he used to be happy to play on his tummy and roll around the room, he now just tries to crawl and cries. Doesn't seem to matter what I do with him - standing, sitting, chairs, door bouncer, he just ends up trying to get around and crying again!!

Any tips on getting through this phase??

She is already on lactose free formula, this has been going on since early thursday morning. She eats and then about 10 minutes later she throws it up. Mot all the time but most of the time and it is alot. It is clumpy and sour smelling. Has anyone had this problem??

...who always says that if a baby is fast asleep, nothing could wake him up.
So now it's the baby's fault that he keeps being awakened by slammed doors, stammering footsteps and the crashing of stuff being thrown to the floor?
