Answer by ryet_grrrl
My oldest was more comfortable on her stomach, so I granted it. With my youngest, we purchased a SASSY brand positioner and kept him on his side. He was a premie, so I did not want to take any risks at all. He was very comfy lying on his side, the positioner kept him snug and prevented him from rolling onto his stomach.

If your baby is exposed to cigarette smoke, has thick blankets in her crib, or has any health problems, do not grant her to sleep on her stomach.

Answer by Nikki
Mine does…and has since he was like a month old…he was not comfortable any other way, and had so much gas it was the most comfortable way for him. I have never had a problem with it, and his Dr used to ask how he slept, and I’d tell him. He never advised me otherwise. He stated if he slept superior on his stomach than to let him..i just checked on him each so often, and he slept in a bassinet in my room for quite a while. he is 6 months now and sleeps on his tummy still but is able to control himself and roll over alone so i dont worry as much.

Answer by THEONLY
DO NOT LET YOUR BABY SLEEP ON THEIR STOMACH. IT MAY WORK WELL FOR YOU NOW, BUT YOUR BABY COULD SUFFOCATE AND DIE! DO NOT LET YOUR BABY EVER SLEEP ON THEIR STOMACH. MY BABIES LOVED SLEEPING ON THEIR STOMACHS, BUT MY TWIN SISTER AMY HAD A BABY AND THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO LET HER BABY SLEEP ON HER STOMACH AND ONE DAY SHE WOKE UP AND HE BABY WAS DEAD. SHE WAS ABSOULETEY DEVASTED. SHE STILL CRIES, EVEN THOUGH SHE JUST HAD TWO BEATIFUL TWIN BOYS. I DON’T WANT YOU TO HAVE A DEATH IN YOUR FAMILY, LIKE MY SISTER. I HOPE I COULD HELP.

Answer by Kayla
i have no idea

Answer by KSgirl
Obviously you have not really looked at the consequences of some of the diseases vaccines can prevent otherwise you would have no question about immunizations. Do you want your child to die, go deaf, blind, be crippled or brain damaged from some common diseases of childhood?? Sure, let the kid naturally get immunity, will not do your baby any good if it dies in the process.

Answer by jaemers24
I did not begin vaccinating my children till they were 6 months old. I was breast feeding which usually provides ample immunity. I also refuse certain vaccines which were cultured with “human diploid cells” which I comprehend to be aborted fetal tissue. I have family members and friends who do not vaccinate at all and the physicians give them a hard time about it. I love my pediatrician. It is a hard decision and you have to do what is ideal for you and your family.

I have a healthy 2-month-old, who was born full term, so using powdered formula is not a concern.

Before I get bombed by people who think I should be breastfeeding, I have breastfed, and I have had to go back to work. I have been pumping but I am having problems keeping my production up enough to keep up with my daughter’s demands.

——————————————

Answer by tech
WHen I started formula, I used the Nestle Goodstart with Omega 3. I think it made me feel a bit superior because I could not breast feed. But then after speaking to some nurses/nutritionists it seems it doesn’t really matter. All those claims are mostly just marketing ploys, and do not make that much difference. So now I have switched to just the regular goodstart because it is less expensive. I use the concentrated form.

Answer by Diet C
All of them are the same really.
Save yourself some money and just purchase the basic version of a generic brand.

Answer by kass ♥
I never had that problem. But, after you sterilize them you can wash them and it should come off. You only need to sterilize once a week for newborns.

Answer by omni_titan
1) Wash bottles with Pureen or any baby safe liquid cleaner.
2) Use brush.
3) Check for cleanliness.
4) Rinse bottle.
5) Boil bottle.
6) Once bottle is sterilized do not touch the inside of the bottle.

Ensure that once the water comes to a boil, leave it in for 5 minutes before you bring it out.
Ensure the water is direct from tap.
Ensure that the pot or container is clean.
Do not add any salt in the boiling water.

Answer by Babzz
when my children were small i used a microwave steriliser (you can get these fairly inexpensively from mothercare/argos type places)
They are a lot easier than any other method of sterilising your babies feeding equipment and it only takes 5 minutes and i did not have any sort of ‘salt deposition’ at all!
Might be worth reconsidering how you sterilise……….

That it’s not proven.

Answer by Lisa
They don’t. It has been proven time and again that there is no link between autism and vaccinations.

I’m wondering if it’s possible that the plastic cover is making him sweat inside the diaper? Has anyone ever came across this?

——————————————

Answer by Candy517
That happens w/ disposable diapers, too. My infant has ALOT of rolls (like the Michelin Man) and sweat gets down off in those rolls and it can get pretty fowl. Try using desitin or roll on powder – that should help with the smell and feel superior for baby, too.

Answer by Jenn M
Yeah it might be the plastic cover…there are some that you can get that are cloth on both the inside and out but there is a liner in the middle that is plastic. I cannot remember the name of them they used to have them at Babies R Us and they do work. I know my middle boy got sweaty whenever you would have ANYTHING on him at all and he is nearly 3 now and still the same way. I concur with the baby powder idea.

Answer by kd5bel
Yes, it can be sweat. you might want to try investing in natural cloth diapers with the rubber covers. The vynil that is made this day doesn’t breathe like the rubber ones, from years ago when I was a kid.

Cornstartch or talc will also help keep baby dry.

I just did a search for natural cloth diapers and found the website below.

I recommended that she NOT try the baby in the pool today, as it’s just not pool weather yet and the water temperature is toooooo cold and will swiftly lower his body temperature. He is got all summer to get into the pool. I just do not comprehend them trying to rush EVERYTHING.

Does anyone know what the outside temp and water temp should be before putting a baby into a pool?
To answer someone’s question:

YES, I think they are NUTS.
I do realize that he is my DIL’s child and NOT MINE. HOWEVER, he is also my SON’S child and if her parent’s are going to recommend anything STUPID and/or endangering which they like to do then that is why I get involved and notify my son (the baby’s DADDY).

Answer by rivergirl939
Ask them if they had like to swim in cold water! That water is going to be way too cold for a baby! Are they nuts???

Answer by bernie0805
I do not know what the temp should be, but I think that is way too cold to put a baby in a pool. It’s in the low 70′s and breezy where I live (KS) and I put a hat and jacket on my two month old. No way would I put the baby in the pool!! He is gonna get sick!!

Answer by HooKooDooKu
There is no reason to be trying to put a newborn in a pool that is GOING to be that cold. If the night time temperatures are going into the 40′s, even with day time temps in the 80s, that water temperature is only going to be in the 60s… way too cold for ANYONE, much less a newborn with NO FAT to help keep him warm.

On the plus side, the baby is likely to screem bloody murder the moment they try to put him in that water. HOPEFULLY, his screams will be enough that they will not force the baby to state in so long that he starts to get cold.

Answer by Lorelei Marie is here 2/24/2009

Answer by HooKooDooKu
It’s expensive, but the Britax Marathon (and it’s more costly cousin, the Wizard) is desiged for huge babies. It starts rear facing and is great for a 3mo. Then when he is a year old, you can turn it around. It’s tall enough for the shoulders until he is ready for a booster.

Answer by Danielle
My son was massive too. But it seemed after he hit about 14lbs…it took him a while to get to 20. He slowed down with the weight gain. He is now 7 months and 20lbs.

Answer by andrew’s mommy
You could get one of the more massive carseats. They are made for kids that are heavier, and yes older. But if your baby is growing at that rate, he could def. fit into a britax marathon carseat. i got one for my son cause he hit 30 lbs when he was about 9-10 months old. Anyways those larger carseats can also be put rear-facing. So if your son is gaining weight like that, i recommend you get a larger carseat. my son outgrew his carseat when he was about 6 months, but we used it til he turned a year old… even though he def. surpassed the weight limit…

What do you think? Answer below!

The California octuplets are human octuplets born on January 26, 2009, at the Kaiser Permanente hospital in Bellflower, California.[1][2] This was only the second time ever that a full set of octuplets were born alive in the United States, coming eleven years after the 1998 births of the Chukwu octuplets in Texas. Multiple births are risky for both the mom and kids and are considered an undesirable outcome of reproductive technology.[3][4]

The delivery, via a pre-scheduled Caesarean section, involved 46 medical personnel, and was practiced twice beforehand.[2] Physicians anticipated only seven babies, so the eighth (“Baby H”, a boy) came as a surprise.[2] The infants (six boys and two girls) were born at 30½ weeks of gestation, approximately nine weeks premature. They ranged in weight from 1 pound and 8 ounces (0.68 kg) to 3 pounds and 4 ounces (1.47 kg).[5] The first baby was stated to have come out “kicking and crying”. Born over the course of five minutes, all eight babies were immediately reported in stable condition, though two required breathing tubes and a ventilator and another required extra oxygen.[2]

The mom’s health and gestational status were followed since her first trimester.[2] However, she has asked that only limited information be released about the births,[1] so hospital officials have not released her name, nor have they said, for example, whether she undertook fertility treatments.[5] Medical experts immediately speculated that the woman probably received controlled ovarian hyperstimulation rather than in vitro fertilization, a more costly procedure which would have been less likely to produce octuplets.[6] The octuplets’ grandmother, however, would later confirm that an in vitro procedure had been used.[7]

After giving birth, the mom reportedly expressed the desire to breastfeed all eight infants.[5]

Two days after birth, five of the eight infants received their first tube-feeding of (donated) breast milk, even though one of the infants (“Baby F”, a boy who weighed 2 pounds 12 ounces (1.25 kg) at birth) rejected his first tube-feeding and was returned to intravenous feeding, as his stomach is yet unable to absorb breast milk. Three other infants have been fed intravenously since birth and are yet to receive their first tube-feeding.[8]

Three days after the octuplets’ birth, the octuplets’ grandmother, Angela Suleman, gave an on-the-record interview to the Los Angeles Times. After her daughter found out she was (apparently) pregnant with seven fetuses, she ruled out a selective reduction procedure: “What do you recommend she should have done? She refused to have them killed,” Suleman said. Her daughter never expected all eight embryos implanted in her would develop, she said.[7]

The octuplets’ mom already had six kids (ages 7, 6, 5, 3, with two-year-old twins) before seeking fertility treatment in 2008. She reportedly lives with her kids and mom on a “well-kept cul-de-sac in Whittier.”[7]
