Sippy Cup Suggestions?

My son is almost 14 months, and I have been trying to transition him to either a straw cup or a sippy cup. He does great drinking cold water out of a sippy cup, a few sips here and there, but I can not get him to take milk out of a sippy cup or straw cup. Any suggestions? Additionally, he will not drink cold milk. I have to warm it up to room temperature, and I would like to stop that as well. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Remedies for Baby Acne

My 5 week old girl has gotten a severe case of baby acne. It started last week out of no where, I was taking some herbal supplements to increase my milk production so I'm wondering if that is what caused it. I understand most babies get a little acne but her cheeks are covered and really red and her forehead...she is also uncomfortable from the itching and buries her head in my shirt and rubs it on me whenever she gets the chance. I feel so bad because I know she's uncomfortable and don't know what to do. I took her to the doc and she...

Food Ideas for Milk Protein Allergy and Soy Allergy

My son was diagnosed at 5 days with a severe milk protein allergy. He is currently on Enfamil Nutramigen formula.

Cold Medicines While Pregnant

I just called my doctor about what I can take while sick and pregnant. I've gotten so many different answers from people that I'm not sure who I beleive. My girlfriend said she was told anything Tylenol and she took Tylenol Cold and Flu. When I asked my nurse, she said yes, anything Tylenol but not cold and flu. Nothing with pseodophedrine in it. Not sure how to spell that. The pharmicist near me said Sudafed which is probably the closest to pseodophendrine you can get. Help. I have chest congestions, stuffed nose and runny and...

What to Put in a Bottle When Baby Has a Fever?

Hello everyone. My 15 month old son has been running a fever since Wednesday night. It's been a low-to-medium grade fever... goes up and down as the tylenol takes effect and wears off. He is teething and cutting molars, but I really don't think it's teething, because until now, he has NEVER run a fever while teething.(although my older three boys always did, this one just doesn't) He really hasn't wanted to eat any food, just a few bites of this, and maybe one bite of that... very little. I started to put Gerber brand Apple Juice in...

Trouble with Eczema

Hi Moms, I was wondering what kind of lotion to use for my 3 year old with eczema? He was always had very mild eczema that I have had under control. I always put lotion on when he got clothes on in the morning and when he gets pjs on at night. I use Johnsons bedtime lotion. I don't know if it because of the dry weather lately but he had a flare up that I can't get rid of. So if anyone has a lotion that they would recommend it would be helpful. Thanks.
