CIRCUMCISION AND MY BROTHER, HIS FRIEND AND MY SON…?
Apr 2nd
Question by :
circumcision and my brother, his friend and my son…?
I have been contemplating circumcision for my son since I found out I was pregnant. hes now 4 days old and I want it done. I know everyone says its not cleaner and whatever else but I believe it is and so does my husband. so my brother and his friend were over when we were speaking about it and neither of them are circumcised and they both said that he would be upset if I didnt get him circumcised. they both want to get circumcised but dont want to go through the pain or recovery. They sad they wished my mother and his friends mother would have done it when they were newborns. they arent the first ones Ive heard it from though.
so why is the new information saying that its no suggested anymore. I honestly believe its cleaner and that my son will appreciate not remembering it. and yes around here they numb newborns when they do it and the pediatricians dont do it, they make you go to a urologist. I know this is a big issue and old evidence says its cleaner and healthier so why would it all of a sudden change?
my husband wasnt circumcised when we met and I kept getting UTIs and yeast infections so he decided to have it done. hes one of the cleanest men I know and I know he washed every day very good but I just kept getting them. ever since he got circumcised I havent had one. and he said the pain was unbearable even with the pain meds and that the time off work was ridiculous. a newborns skin is SO much thinner too. just like clipping the skin under their tongue if they have tongue tie. I dont know I guess from my experience I think every boy should be circumcised.
I said they didnt numb babies because a lot of people like to say they dont. and trust me, we shower together all the time, I know hes clean and Im clean too. we always made sure we were clean but I still got them.
I said they DO** numb babies sorry. and the question is in the question…why did the info change all of a sudden? is it because so many people complain and this its wrong?

IF YOU USE CLOTH DIAPERS, DOES YOUR BABY WEAR A BIGGER SIZE BECAUSE OF BULK?
Apr 2nd
Question by IJAF:
If you use cloth diapers, does your baby wear a bigger size because of bulk?
I guess it might depend somewhat on what type of cloth diapers you’re using? Anyway, I am about to buy some prefolds + covers, and also some pocket type diapers, and was curious about how much bulk there is going to be, like in a onesie. Will my baby need to wear a bigger size, since I am guessing clothes aren’t usually cut to grant room for cloth diapers anymore?

FABRIC FOR CLOTH DIAPERS FOR SENSITIVE BABIES?
Mar 12th
Question by tigermama4:
Fabric for cloth diapers for sensitive babies?
I want to make cloth diapers for preemies, what is the ideal fabric for the inner layer? I know some preemies can be really sensitive. I’d like to make AIO diapers, with PUL on the outer layer, probably hemp or microfiber in the middle (for the soaker), and I was thinking velour for the inside-but that doesn’t take the wetness away as well as suedecloth.
Any suggestions? Any cloth you REALLY like/dislike?

IS THE NEW BORN BABY SMELL REAL?
Mar 8th
Question by cook1:
Is the new born baby smell real?
I remember I smelled a baby..or maybe kind of randomly caught the aroma of a 3 month old baby..my cousin’s son years ago and I remember it smelt similar to baby products like lotions or ath but somehow I think it was the new baby smell…at the time I did not know that there was such a thing until I guess later…
and when I found out about it I thought
Oh! that must have been the smell!
why would I think so.?
well when I smelled the baby , (it was his neck that smelt that way)
this was in Africa, in a village..and as you know Africa is hot ..etc
I am not sure what the parents bathe the baby in ..but he was 3 months at the time
If its real can I just say that an awesome phenomenon.
I mean there is nothing in the human body that I would think or know of of that could produce smells like that.. (well I am not an expert or dr so..)
when people think of humans having an odor..you think of sweat, poop, etc. and other things that for the most people do not smell good..
but somehow many newborns can come out smelling like that..? of course the
I can completely see how God doing this though..:) like His special touch : )
James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Dad of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Also I think its kind of smart..
making babies cute, smell good, etc..small ,precious,etc…like it will make the parents care much more superior for the child….
kind of sad though to think that without that would we love the babies as much..hmm?
I know there people out there who would but ..for most are many of the people in human race as a whole..yeah, not so sure..
( btw, I do not have children)

MY NEWBORN’S EYE IS ALL GUMMED UP. WHAT CAN I DO?
Feb 25th
Question by Sarah:
My newborn’s eye is all gummed up. What can I do?
She has a small amount of green/yellowish mucus that is coming out of her right eye. Her first physicians appointment is set for this Tuesday. She is looking around with it just fine, and doesn’t seem to be in any pain, so I think that the ER would be a bit overkill for this, and would put her in more danger than she is currently in by just needlessly exposing her to germs. I called the pediatrician that she is set up with, and they do not have a doc on call.
Have you ever dealt with this? Is it a big deal? How can I fix it, or at least keep it cleaned hygienically
Thanks!
Also… her eye is not red or discolored.

IS IT POSSIBLE MY INFANT IS SWEATING TOO MUCH INSIDE HIS DIAPERS?
Feb 20th
Question by Stanley C:
Is it possible my infant is sweating too much inside his diapers?
I want to avoid the wastefulness of disposable diapers. But when I put my 3-week old into a cloth diaper, and then cover it with the little plastic pants-like cover, the next time I check him (maybe an hour later?) the whole area inside the diaper is drenched. (And not to be too graphic, but it doesn’t smell like pee.)
I’m wondering if it’s possible that the plastic cover is making him sweat inside the diaper? Has anyone ever came across this?
