6 Mo. Old Will Not Sleep Without Being Swaddled and a Pacifier

Hi all! I am blessed to have 2 kids(girls). First one is 25 months and second one will turn 6 months on the 14th. I did not have any sleep issues with my first daughter. With the second one it is a little different. I had to read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Dr. Weissbluth in order to put her on some kind of schedule (couldn't find the swaddling part over there). Now she takes three naps during the day (1-2 hours duration each) and wakes up one time at night to be fed. She goes to sleep most of the time without a problem. I turn...

General Baby Registry Tips and Opinionos on BPA Free Bottles

My best friend is having her first baby soon. We went together last week to do her baby registry at Babies R Us (I have two little ones, so she wanted my opinion on things). I thought I'd check with all you other moms for your input to pass along to her as well. What is the one baby product that you love and use the most? What is the one thing you registered for and never use? She wants BPA bottles and is really leaning toward glass. Do any of you use glass bottles? What brand? What do you think? She thinks the Born Free has...

Screaming Baby When Breastfeeding

Hello, My son is almost 4 months old now and has been very colicky from the start where he would just cry and scream for 4 hours straight at night. That has gotten better but for the past 6 weeks or so he has started to scream when I try to breastfeed him at night. Sometimes it even happens during the day when I am home from work on the weekends. I feed him one breast and that usually goes well, although it takes quite a while to finish because he is so distracted and interested in everything now. When we switch to the 2nd breast ...

5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper. She cluster fed from the beginning and if it wasn't for the pump I think I would have either given up breastfeeding or jumped off a bridge! A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

Mixing Formula with Goat's Milk for My 9-Week Old

Okay people...RELAX!!!! I was breastfeeding. My son had a bad latch that was causing incredible amounts of air to be swallowed. It was suggested that I just pump by my doctor and try and eliminate dairy from my diet and try a soy formula. I did eliminate the dairy and was pumping and giving my son the soy. Within a week, the soy had consitpated my son and his colic had peaked so that I couldn't even put him down for 10 minutes to pump without him screaming his head off. I wasn't able to keep up with the pumping as much as I would have...
