Infant Not Sleeping and Not Taking Bottle

Hi all, I have a new infant 6 weeks old who I have been trying to wean off the breast. I go back to work in a week and a half and he will be going to a sitters. He absolutely hates the bottle. He screams and screams when I try to give it to him. I thought that it was just me as he had taken bottles from others before however now he is fussing for everyone. My pediatrician said when I started to wean to start with day feedings so I am still nursing in the evening, night, and morning. Now he is not sleeping at night either. He will go...

I Just Can Not Afford the Madela Double Electric So What About Playtex?

I purchased the Playtex Nurser System today at Target for $90 because the Madela Swing is $150 (the in style is just out of my league). I get home and before I open it I get this not wanting to commit feeling. So.. I haven't opened the box because I've been online researching and researching. Most women all say Madela or Lanoish if your going to purchase a double electric breast pump. But, in reading reviews I've read that some women have had the same problems with a Madela pump that the Playtex pumps lose points for. So if there are any...

Playtex Drop Ins

Anyone out there use playtex drop ins? How do you feel about them? I am considering trying them for baby #2 thinking that it will be less cleaning of bottles (hubby is not much help!). I will likely use a few different brands of bottles (like dr browns and avent in past.) If you have used them, can you mix the formula and water in the pouch itself or do you have to premix the formula then put it in the pouch? Just curious, thanks!

Is Thumb-sucking Really That Bad?

i have a 4 month old baby boy, Hunter, very cute, very happy, very easy going. lately he's started to suck on his thumbs. my mom (who helps take care of him) is very against thumb sucking. she's afraid that he'll suck his thumbs until his skin goes raw. my mom is a doctor, so she's seen a lot of weird things, and raw thumbs on children, unfortunately, is one of those things she's seen and couldn't get out of her mind. so my mom and i have been trying to cover up Hunter's hands using mitts and try to introduce the pacifier, but Hunter's...
