So tonight for dinner we had grilled chicken marinaded in a honey teriyaki sauce. I put a tiny bit on my finger and let my 5 months hve a taste a couple of times. I wasn`t thinking whe I ealized that there was honey in it. Do I have any reason to worry bout botulism? Thank you.

Yes any amount of honey can hurt your LO	6		18%
No, your LO has to consume a lot more than that to have any effects of botulism	26		81%

My 4 month old can eat a whole container of solids (were on green beans right now)...should I give him more? We currently do solids in the morning and evening, with breast feeding in between. I don`t want to over feed him, but I feel like he wants more...what do you think?

So my son is 4 months old, and we just started him no rice cereal. He is doing great and is getting the hang of the spoon. My only concern is I`m not exactly on a feeding schedule with him, I usually give him a tablesppon mixed with Breast Milk in the morning, and another tablespoon an hour before bedtime. I breast feed him in between all day. I don`t want to overfeed him. I think I`m going to start a schedule, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips, or comments? How are you (did you) handle feeding your infant at this age?

My son seems to sleep longer and enjoys his stomach better than his back, so I allow naps on his tummy, so I can monitor him. I never place him on his back at night, but I was wondering if anyone else did?

Breastfeeding mommy`s! I started pumping and storing my milk when Nolan was born, and now he is 3.5 mos old. I just started school so we are beginning to use the stored milk, but I noticed that a few of the bags of milk, when thawed, just don`t smell right. I try and taste it and it leaves sort of a bitter taste in my mouth, but I`m not sure if it`s bad or not because I am following the storage instructions, and It has only been a few months. Aren`t you supposed to be able to freeze your milk for up to 8 months or something? So my question is, do you think it`s sour milk? Or just got a little freezer burn smell to it, but it`s still ok. I don`t wanna give him sour milk, but I don`t wanna go throwing away precious gold. LOL
(Other-poll poll by air*force*mommy, 794 days ago)

I noticed that too, and it's still good.	9		60%
I think it's gone bad even though it's been frozen.	6		40%

For all you moms with LO`s n the 3-6 month range....do you let your LO cry it out for a while before offering comfort? Does he/she sleep through the night? Let me know what you do when your LO wakes up crying even after a feeding/changing/burping? Thanks.

Does anyone have a LO that cries just about anytime he/she isn`t being held. and the only time he/she is happy is in the morning when waking up, walking around the house or in the stroller outside? My LO is so hard to entertain and I don`t even have time to even shower...

I had a C-Section 7 weeks ago, and the lochia bleeding continued for about 5 weeks when it slowed and then stopped. About a week later the dark brown bleeding started again after I did a 3 mile walk for alzheimers. For this past week it has just ben the dark brown, like the end of a period, but today it`s that deep red. Do you think it`s my period? I am still breastfeeding as well...

I would call the doctor.	7		29%

Do you give your LO a bath everyday? My son is 7 weeks old, and for the most part I give him a bath as part of our bedtime routine. There are some doctors who say not to do that though because it can cause excessive dry skin. We don`t really have that problem except for on his face, but I only use water on his face...what do you think?
(Baby-poll poll by Air*Force*Mommy, 861 days ago)

Yes, I wash my LO just about every day	27		37%
No, it's best to do it only a few times a week.	45		62%

Oops...somehow deleted both my polls, just wanted to delete one because it was duplicate...ANYWAY, here we go again. My son is 6 weeks old and still needs to be swaddled to sleep well. How long should I allow this before I should try and break him of the habit? I`m afraid that I`ll end up with a swaddles 2 year old if I allow it. LOL. Thanks

Ok, so I am 32 weeks as of yesterday, and currently don`t have any serious stretch marks. Maybe a couple really light ones on my hips. I am so scared because i am so close, and I really don`t what them even though I know sometimes its inevitable. What do you think, will I get them before the end of my pregnancy?

I think I am 8 weeks, however I haven`t had my first OB/Ultrasound appt yet. Im very anxious, and nervous that something is wrong, but I dont have ANY signs whatsoever. No bleeding, nothing. I don`t really have morning sickness either, just gag reflexes and a bloated belly. LOL. Can anyone else relate? Im just so scared. I don`t know what I would do if this wasn`t a healthy pregnancy...I lknow, paranoia.
