tylersmommy54 - This is completely normal and probably a sign of teething. I'm not saying that your little baby will be sprouting teeth any moment but it has to start somewhere. My son started teethting around 3months but didn't cut the first tooth until six months. Sucking on the hands is normal too. He found them! Anything found goes into the mouth. Isn't it wonderful! HAHA! It could mean that it feels good on the gums or they could be just an easy to get a hold of toy. Don't worry, the drool machine doesn't last forever. In the meantime you can keep plenty of bibs on hand and burp clothes. Have fun!

I NEED ADVICE!! ASAP!! FOr the pass couple of wks Ive been giving Brody children's benadryl because he would breakout in a rash & that was like the only thing that helped. we got a puppy (only had it for two days & I think BRody was allegric to it bc he would break out. Well for the pass couple of days ive been notcing that he hasnt been going pee as much as he use to. could it be that I damage his bladder from giving him benadryl?? i was told it was ok to give him in moderation!! or could it be that hes getting older & doesnt go through alot of diapers anymore??? im really scared that ive hurt him. i was told by a nurse that too much benadryl can cause difficulty urinating. please reply!!

sher- i dropped my baby once. i was going to sit on the couch to nurse him. before i sat down, he squirmed right out of my arms, and fell ab0ut 3ft. he pretty much landed on his head. i was actually on vacation with my husband, MIL, SIL and of course they were sitting right there and saw it happen. I felt horrible, ran to my room with baby and cried while i nursed him. he had cried for afew minutes but was fine. another time, my husband was holding baby at church while sitting and once again squirmed away and fell on floor right in front of the entire class of people. i was really embarrassed for my hubby, and baby was fine. maybe this is why he sees a chiropractor!! I dont, but dont feel too bad. its just the beginning of a lot of bumps and bruises.

Sher, dont sweat it! I was the same way as u..and felt the EXACT same way the first time Macey rolled off the couch..in fact im pretty sure I had a mild heart attack too. I have learned finally, that those things are gonna happen. My daughter is one now and loves playing on the couch and throwing the pillows on the floor, well this morning she was doing that, and as usual...she sometimes goes to drop the pillow but forgets to let go and goes to the floor with the pillow..usually it pillow pads her fall, BUT this morning she did like a reverse somersault and I seen her neck bend in a way that looked horrible..she cried for two seconds and was ready to play again..im pretty sure it bothered me more than it did her..My point is that it pretty much is gonna happen, and gets to a point that you cant always help it either. Keep her safe as much as u can, and accept that $h*t happens lol. You are NOT a horrible mom ;)

I feel like an extremely horrible mom, i had just changed my 4 1/2 month olds diaper the other day and was going to put her in her crib so i could wash my hands but she ends up spitting up real good all over herself and myself. I have this mate's bed about 2 feet off the floor in her room and laid her down on the bed so i could wipe her off and started to wipe myself off, the next thing i know she is rolling off of the bed and i couldn't catch her in time and i was right there in front of her but i wasn't quick enough. She fell on her side and cried for only a minute and then was acting fine and smiling and laughing at me because i was crying, didn't seem to be hurt at all. I took her to the ER to get checked out and she's fine but I don't know how I'm going to live with myself, I feel absolutely horrid. I'm always the one telling her dad to be careful and then this happens and i was just right there! Its eating at me so bad, I dwell on things and this is a huge one :( I've always been scared of something happening to her and now i have this big weight on my shoulders about it. I'm beating myself up because i if I had just laid her in her bed this wouldn't have happened but i was just thinking of not getting spit up on her bed. I feel so stupid. The first time she makes a full roll she does it quickly and falls to the floor ugh. Hopefully my week doesn't get any worse than that

How fast does time go once you're a mother! My teeny weeny baby that I waited for sooo long for is already one! It's surreal! I think it must be the hardest thing about being a mum- how time just flies! :-)

newmomcara, i used a convertible car seat for both of my children. i loved them and have no regrets. they seem safer, sturdier, and more economical. my daughter truly did use hers as an infant until she no longer needed a booster seat. Several years, one seat! I find the infant carriers difficult to carry (awkward and heavy) and i thought it was easier to simply carry the baby. IF we went to a store, friend's house, restaurant, I used a sling. I never had trouble with the baby sleeping in the car seat and not being able to fall back alseep in the sling...my kids loved them and were always happy and relaxed. Our physical therapist warned us of something they refer to as "container babies". The babies develop muscle problems related to being in the same position too much (taking naps in car seats, spending time in bouncy seats and swings and strollers etc....Just stuff to consider!

I WANT HIM TO GO TO A LOVING FAMILY...I DONT WANT HIM TO GO TO THE SHELTER!!! HE MUST BE GONE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 TO 24HRS! PLEASE HELP!!

newmomcara- IMO it is easier to carry a sleeping baby in the infant carrier style carseat than trying to move them and it also gives you a place to have the baby if you go out to dinner or go visit (other than holding or passing from person to person, which could spread germs). Also, my MIL has one for all the grandkids but it didn't work very well for when they are really little. They kind of fold in half. If you do go with a convertible, look online to find out what people had to say in reviews.

newmomcara - 173 days ago.
my husband and i are thinking of buying a convertible carseat for our newborn. I am just wondering how other new moms like this or not..is it more of a pain because you don't have a carrier to just move the baby, or has it been okay moving the new baby from the car seat to some other carrier-baby bjorn or stroller?? Any ideas would be helpful..thanks!

Just wanted the opinion of other moms out there....I'm sure we all feel the same way about our little ones...that she are exceptionally intelligent for their age... Well my 13 month daughter (I feel) is really smart for simple reasons: She has 3 books(the hard back pocket sized ones)..an alphabet book,a fruit and vegetable book,and a numbers book. when asked to produce a particular picture lets say 'peas'..she goes finds her books and picks up just the right one ..opens it to the picture and says'mamma theees'(this) She signals most of the time when she wants to use the potty (occassionally wets her self).She can signal both the big and small job. If she happens to wet herself she looks awful..asks for the mop and tries to clean up the place. Can remember where she has placed her toys even if she has not played with them for a couple of days. Initiates games.She has invented a new game..where she sits in an uncomfortable position and calls out 'ahhahh'..so I say 'oh baby's stuck 'and help her stand..she laughs and starts over again. eats with a spoon..can feed herself an ice cream cone. rubs soap on herself when its bath time,pours water over her body with her mug to rinse off the soap. Doodles with her crayons on paper. Can do the actions to Twinkle twinkle little star ,incy wincy spider. Can sing along the main words of do a dear When we sing old Mc donald..she shouts out loud the sounds of the animals throughout the song. well and it can go on and on... she understands complicated commands since a while now..'look left you see your socks on the bed bring them along with your shoes' and she does just that.. Do let me know what do you'll think....since i'm a first time mommy..would like some advice/feedback .if any one of you get time to read my stuff..

Anyone have ideas on THEMES 4 a BOY? :)

Michelle, just a suggestion: Craig's list is a blessing in situations like this. More often than not you can get a really nice, easily used AFFORDABLE product if you look into it. We got a BOB jogging stroller for under a 100 bucks and it rocks if you don't mind hand-me-downs.

lyfe - an ear infection can take some time to show up even after there are other symptoms. The antibiotics take about 2-3 days to fully start working, and make sure you continue dosing them for the full 10 days. Ear infections are nasty. Hang in there it will get better, in the meatime continue with tylenol and advil.

Hey ladies I need some help/advice. I'm looking to buy a glider/ottoman set, but can't afford an extremely expensive one. I also don't want a crappy one with almost no cushion! I don't want my butt to hurt :) I keep sitting on the expensive ones in the store and they're amazing. But way over my budget. I'm looking to spend maybe 130-180? Anyone buy one for that price that was really good? Any suggestions are great! Thanks guys!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL LADIES OUT THERE...CHILDREN ARE SUCH A BLESSING.

SherB - 198 days ago.
my daughter is going to be 4 months old in a week and her jaw has been clicking for almost 2 months. I'm going to ask the doctor about it when she goes for her 4 month needles but was wondering if anyone else's babies are having this trouble and what the doctor is probably going to tell me about it? My jaw has been clicking for over 3 years and before that i would have a squeaking noise in my ear which means my jaw has off for quite some time, probably 10 years. Does anyone know if it can be genetic? My mother had to have a bite plate so thats 3 generations of jaw issues.

I know many of you lovely ladies are from USA but I am still going to ask this question hoping to get an answer!!! I am from Toronto, Ontario...and with Mother's Day coming up I am looking to buy an ink pad called 'Baby's Touch'. It's for use on infants/toddlers and it comes off so easily. Maybe it can be purchased at Wal*Mart...If anyone knows where you can buy it please let me know!!!! Happy Mother's Day to all of you and have a great weekend!!! Please anwser on my profile!! :)
