I'm a bit concerned. Normally my 6 week old takes quite a few naps during the day, but usually has an active period where she's quite alert and awake. She also normally wakes herself up from her naps and cries to be fed. When I put her down to sleep, she'll usually lay there with her eyes open...

Ok, so Quinn is 6 weeks old now and if possible I'd like to try and find a job here soon, hopefully by the time he's 8-9 weeks old. But there is a problem. I'm not sure that I'll be able to find a babysitter who will be able to handle him. He's very demanding. So far Quinn is sleeping around...

JenRose: I'm a mostly-lurker ttc#1 but have read your web page and postings with interest about how OPKs tested positive before HPTs. Is this true across the board, so to speak, and with different brands? Are the OPKs *supposed* to pick up hcg??? I am in the interminable 2ww, and I took both a...

We're having some trouble coming up with a suitable middle name *sigh* we are having a little bubba girl in August, and decided on Micaela. Spelling it this way, because the Mikayla I knew as a kidback home got the nickname "Kayla" and we both hate that. I'm not into "traditional" type names at...

I have a friend who is not planning to breastfeed (currently is pregnant with her first baby). She was asking me questions about formula, and I know very little about it and can't be of help to her. ALL I could advise her was that: I have always heard to start out with cow's milk-based formula...

Some of you may remember a name discussion back in January, where Babycenter had listed the most popular names for 2003, according to parents Favorites lists. http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/package.jsp?name=fte/babynames/babynames The link still works, btw. Anyhow, I'm not sure why, but I...

My baby girl is only 3 mos old (a little over 1 mo old gestation age). Last night she slept from 8 pm to 5 am. Is that unusual for her to have slept that many hours without waking up to be fed?

I'm confused on how much to feed Quinn. He's now 6 weeks and yesterday he had a feeding of 5 oz, and then 6 oz, and another 5 oz three hours apart, and he didn't even spit up very much. I think he would have taken even more if I had let him. Is it normal for a 6 week old baby to eat so much? I...

Hi; I read that people use the wipes for cleaning baby's butt. Also in the infant care class we took, the nurse explained how to clean using wipes. I always thought that the best way of cleaning baby's butt is to go to the sink & use plenty & plenty of water, towel dry it & then use the diapers....

I'm on hour 23 of a terrible migraine. This is where I realise that being pregnant is sometimes not FUN. I cannot take anything but Tylenol to ease the pain, and of course it does absolutely nothing. I spend the whole day yesterday hiding in a dark room trying not to scream my lungs out, and...

Wouldn't it be great if you could help your baby explore her new world and stimulate her development during her favorite routine activities? Your baby learns about her new environment by observing people and things around her…and her most favorite thing to look at is, of course, YOU. When you...
