2 days ago he discovered that he could lean over the side of it and got stuck and this day when i was feeding him in it he kept leaning forward and i kept having to push him back and it was pretty hazardous and i would never leave him unattended in it the only thing i have used it for since he got stuck was for his feedings because we do not have a highchair and i just ordered one and it should be here by tomorrow but in the mean time i am using the swing only for feedings…he is 6 months old and i know he has now out grown it but do you think i should call and try to see if i can get my money back…by the way if you look at the link it states “Sold at: Discount department stores and toy stores nationwide from November 2006 to Might 2007 for about $ 65.” and i purchased it December 2008 should i try or leave it alone?

Answer by Mr And Mrs Diaz
I had 2 things that were recalled.My Simplicity Bassinet and my Crib,I just called Simplicity and they sent me a check for both items I had,

Your sons swing might not have been recalled,I know when my stuff was recalled they had to match the numbers with the dates that they were manufactured I mean the only way you will know for certainty is if you call Fisher Price.

Answer by ashleighharder
check your serial # if it matches one that is on the list contact fisher-price, companies will compensate you with either a new swing, gift card, ect.

Answer by Callypso
It never hurts to try. And if it’s hazardous and you cannot use it anyway, I’d sure want my money back!

Answer by Lizzy Williams
SBS is recognise when a LOT of force is used against a baby by an adult or larger child shaking the baby.

All babies move their heads suddenly when you have got them but they will not injured themselves. Their necks will get stronger soon so just try and protect her head as much as possible but I am sure your doing a great job and please try not to worry too much

Enjoy your tiny bundle of gorgeousness!

Answer by Live, Love, Laugh
I took a ECE (Early Childhood Education) class and I learned that you you do not actually have to shake a baby that hard to give them SBS. But it sounds like you baby is not strong enough to hold her head up yet and your doing the right thing by supporting her head. I know it gets scary sometimes but it sounds like your a great mom. Do not stress out to much about it.

Answer by What is the Protocol
2 months is still very young and you are correct to support her head and not bounce her too hard until she learns to support herself better. SBS occurs when people forcefully and deliberately shake kids and it does not sound like this is the case.

Yes…….

Answer by cathrl69
Yes, they can get it.

However, they are less likely to catch it, and if they do, it is likely to be milder. This is especially true if the baby is breastfed

Answer by ANG2782
No it’s not true. The MOTHER got the vaccine, not the baby. That statement makes no sense. If that were true, then there would be no need for required standard vaccines for kids.

Answer by Uh huh, go on I am listening
teething… I bet ya! look in his mouth, feel around for bumps on his gums.
Oooooh let the fun begin! lol, he will be miserable on and off for a few months.

Answer by freyalovemoon
teething or gas. more than likely teething but just in case limit him to a bottle of water before bed or move up his feeding time before bed. It could be creating gas. My daughter suffered with both at that age and it was very frustrating.

Answer by tiffany a
Try putting him to bed later.Stick with the routine of bathing and reading books just put him to sleep later. You can also try just making his naps about 45 minutes.

Summertime is here.Make sure it is not too hot or too cold for him to sleep.Pay attention to see if he is waking up sweaty or too cold due to the ac.

I would state he was teething if he cried and had fits on and off
during the day,diahrea.showed a biting down motion or more interest in putting things in his mouth, and lots and lots of drool but this doesn’t seem the case.

Car riding has proved fatal, as well, so do you walk wherever you go?

Answer by MT
I think it makes sense on many levels. Babies were designed to want to be near mom. They are absolutely helpless. If they slept apart from mother in the wild, they would easily fall victim to a predator or the cold.

Co-sleeping is very, very safe when done correctly (not impaired by drugs or alcohol, on a bed without other objects, etc.). But, if parents can’t or will not co-sleep safely, or they are just too freaked out to, I am not anti-crib.

Answer by momtosix
Awesome article, and worth sharing. Thanks!

Answer by dmgoldsbo7
I have heard of this and it s something i would love to do with my 6 month old. When he was just born we would nap together in my bed it was great. However when i could not sleep with him during that nap, he wouldn’t’ sleep as long in his bassinet which sparked me to make a change. I started to put him in his own crib for naps. It was sad but he would not sleep unless i was there and that was only going to get worse as time went on. Babies get use to a routine and if u stray for it they get “upset”. I did not like it i loved being Next to him but now he is so simple to put down I just take him in his room kiss him lay him down and he goes out. so i make up for that time by when he falls asleep while i feed him i just hold him or when i rock him i hold him for a while longer. It is slightly hazardous just a few weeks ago here where i live a nany was sleeping with a baby she took care of and in the morning no one could find the baby, it took them about an hour to find out what happened. Well the baby somehow rolled between the bed and the wall and suffocated. Soooooo sad.

Answer by mickey_roxau
umm i dont know exact tem but when it is not too hot on adults inner lip or wrist

Answer by unoamilko
It’s called “lukewarm” or body temp. Food mostly but milk can be cool not cold . Its up to the baby to which one it likes.
Too cold and it would be like having a frozen coke in a heat wave….Instant brain freeze..Take breath away…not good…

to check for lukewarm you put some on your wrist( palm up) .
If you can’t feel it , that is it .

Answer by confused by court order
The food temprature for babies should be about the same as your body temp–98.6 degrees.

i had found this website to help you to selected the ideal baby cloth diapers

http://eonline-new.com/babyclothdiapers

hope you can find the information there

Answer by Noreen
Everyone you ask will have their favorite cloth diaper brand or type. Unfortunately, each baby/situation/budget is different and therefor the diaper that gets suggested to you might not work for you. Your ideal bet is to speak to someone (a Cloth Diaper Consultant) who is familiar with many different types of cloth diapers and speak about which diapers might be ideal for your baby. You will probably want to purchase several different brands/types to start, and then, when you find the system that you like best, purchase the rest of the diapers that you need.

Answer by gnomesnymph
i wouldnt recommend it.. just the lack of real enclosure makes me feel worried about any childs safety in those kinds of vehicles..

Answer by witchway915
i would bring this concern up to a pediatrician, they are the ones that would be superior able to answer it.

but honestly if you do not feel it would be safe, then you shouldn’t. i would not go anywhere if you did put the baby in it without the top on, because that could be way too much wind on a baby

Answer by titan
Congratulations! You will have to look at those new Wranglers with four doors soon In the mean time there is no reason to state the TJ is any less safe than most other cars for your infant. It’s certainly not *unsafe* at any rate.

The superior reason to look for another automobile is a minivan or taller four door car/suv offer superior access to the rear seat and more cargo room for all the strollers, diaper bags, etc. Also being a two door you might find it a bit of a strain loading/unloading your child through the front doors. The huge advantage is your TJ is higher than most cars so you just move the baby in and out-you do not need to bend over much, something you will miss if you switch to a regular car.

Baby is sickle cell diseased

——————————————

Answer by Remy
Use the syringe. You might need to squeeze his cheeks a little, but just enough to slip it in. Then angle it into the back of his cheek and just press out a little at a time. Putting it into the cheek will keep him from spitting it out so easily and doing it slowly will make him want to spit it out less.

Answer by Sarah
How far back are you putting the syringe? My son is also a spitter but luckily takes a bottle. However, with some medicines we have to use the dropper or syringe. Generally, we put the syringe in the side of his mouth all the way to the back and just do a little tiny bit at a time. That was he cannot spit it out, but it’s not going to choke him either.

Answer by Answers
You mentioned that he will not take a bottle, so are you breastfeeding? If so, a great idea might be to try attaching the medicine syringe to a very thin tube which you could then attach to you breast and have him suck on while feeding. It might be kind of hard to visualize based on my description, so try taking a look at this photo from Google Images – http://www.inezhanson.com.au/Articles/Breastfeeding/SupplyLine/tabid/1014/Default.aspx
Remember that a lot of parents struggle with the same problem, and even though it can be extremely frustrating and stressful, it’s not your fault and you are doing the ideal you can. I hope this helps, and ideal of luck!!!!

BUT i want to know how much and how ofter you feed BABY FOOD ONLY to your child? At the age of 6-7 months.

as i stated he does drink his bottle but im just curious to know what amount of babyfood you give your child….
keep in mind he drinks a bottle with each feeding and in between feeding as well

in the am i give him 2 tablespoons of cereal.
in the afternoon i give him a quarter of stage one container of fruit ( the plastic rectangle shaped containers )
in the evening i give him a quarter of veggie and a quarter of fruit…

should i increase his amounts and if so to what… what amounts did you feed your child at this age??

please reffer to baby food container sizes or tablespoons im not good with the ml or dml or mdl or what ever there measured in lol..

——————————————

Answer by It’s Just Me
i would state @ that age maybe you would give them baby ceral in the mornings and half a jar of fruits for lunch and half a jar of veggies for dinner

Answer by id2ga
Just relax. Your child is learning new foods and new skills at the same time. Do not worry about the amounts so much–as long as your baby is growing at a steady rate and gaining weight as he should be he is okay. Just keep offering him food at regular times during the day–just like you state you are–and he will be okay.

Every baby is different and eats differently. Do not feel bad if your baby is not doing the exact same thing as, say, your ideal friend’s baby. As long as your baby is within the developmental stages for his age, he is okay.

PS It sounds as if your baby is doing completely normal things and eating normally for his age–remember, it’s all new to him too! You are fine! He will let you know what he wants! and you will be able to tell if the bottle is not enough anymore–you’ll be able to tell if he wants more food–he’ll tell you! (baby speak of course) but you will be able to tell.

Answer by smokinpixxi
when you are feeding him the baby food he will let you know if he doesn’t want any more he will simply spit it out or turn his head away from the spoon. of course im not telling you to continue feeding him container after container till he stops. just use your ideal judgement, you can tell when they do not want anything else, and if your still not sure call the health department they can give you guides as to what size servings would be best. or ask his doctor
