when my son was constipated I gave him some apple juice mixed with water & it worked wonders. by kwhitman76
for constipation try rubbing the baby's tummy with olive oil in clockwise motions....12-3, 12-6, 12-9, 12-12. it worked with my little one. by egiron06
I was also told Fenugreek works well for breastmilk production...but luckily, haven't had to use it. by gsuh
How manuyu ounces does a newborn (a week and a day old) eat in a 24 hour period. I am not sure if I am over feeding her. by louiev90210
at 9 weeks my baby has been constipated and hasn't pooped for 24 hours. what should I do? by tazirah09
At 2 weeks I was only pumping an oz. or so and the lactation nurse had me start taking an herbal supplement called Fenugreek. About a week later I had gotten up to 5 oz or more. by Leannew
My little 2 weeks old daughter has some white stuff down there, I know its normal and I should not wash it right away but I have to ask. When can I wash it??? by sexyruby
I know this may sound weird for people whose babies don't sleep at night, but how much is too much sleep for a 3 wk old to be getting? by mortski21
I keep trying to pump everyday, and I don't even get an ouce a day. My newborn is 3 weeks old, and I am scared I won't be able to give him any breast milk at all pretty soon. I've tried the beer idea, and still not flowing well enough. PLEASE HELP!!! by GenRod
were can I find the small european cribs I know one of the brands is oeuf but do you know any others??? by tetukes
Redness in the "vaginal" area (I doubt you actually get THAT deep into her parts- probably more like "genital" area) could be a sign on yeast, which is normal and can be treated with Lotrimin (not any other athlete's foot medication- JUST Lotrimin) and do NOT put the cream in her "vaginal" area- only on the outside parts. Usually the cream+ using the hairdryer on low heat to dry her up after diaperchanges helps clear it up in days! by Yelena1281
my little girl seems very red and irritated in her vaginal area, and i am thinking diaper rash ointments may be too harsh for a new born, is there something else to use or try? by angelab18
My 2 month old is making a strange sound that sounds like gurling and it's seems to be in the back of her throat or nose. Dr checked her out and said it's okay, but it worries me and it's hard to sleep when I hear it. Anybody else experienced anything like this? by Ashley Ann Whitney
it's normal. baby doesn't care one bit!!!! just leave it, or put some olive oil on it. try to avoid the harsh shampoos b/c they contain a lot of chemicals, which can easily seep into baby's body. by bubbaburger
mrsvedaj when you start solids, your milk production will go down, since the baby's demand for milk goes down. if you want to keep your supply up, pump between feedings. you can freeze breast milk in an air tight container for up to six months. by pink192000
I am only pumping and notice I am not producing as much milk. Any suggestions for how to increase milk supply to keep up with her demands?? by tzentz
mommateena- although it's find to have her on a feeding schedule you should let her tell you when she's hungry. If she's still asking for more after she's done 2oz give her more! Babies go through growth spurts all the time not just the typical ones. If she's hungry keep feeding her! She'll tell you when she's had enough. by mommabuckley
my nb is a lil over a week old and i have been feeding her 2oz every 2 to 3hrs but after she done she is still sucking like shes still hungry.....how much should she be eating? by mommateena
My 10 week old has begun chewing on his right fist. Sometimes I think he might fit the whole thing in there! Could his teeth be coming in already? This is after he's already been fed and he doesn't want a pacifier or more bottle.... anyone have any ideas or is this just normal behavior?! Thanks! by CherylAnne79
jonagel09--get to your pediatrician's office immediately. Infant colds are quite common. Having them sleep on an inclined mattress and a humidifier are great ways to help congestion. Nasal saline is also great in conjunction with a bulb syringe. I think you should think twice before giving an infant cold meds.... The FDA has issued a public health advisory about children's cold medicines saying that "questions have been raised about the safety of these products and whether the benefits justify any potential risks from the use of these products in children, especially in children under 2 years of age." by jill1212

Tired and baby won't sleep....don't want to introduce a pacifier but may have to. He's 6 weeks old...if he'd made it this long without one does he really need one?! by runrgirl001
Hi. I'm new here. I have an 8 month old. Does anyone know of other baby's that are somewhat allergic to sunscreen? I put it on my daughter and then a few days later she gets a little red rash (which the dr told me was dry skin) but it's only after sunscreen. by camcdonnell
