Doc Says to Start Rice Cereal at 4 Mo

Hi moms, At my son's 4 month check up appt this morning, the doctor recommended starting rice cereal. I'm just a bit weary of this and here is why.... Brayden was born 3 1/2 weeks early, and I have noticed in the last few months that he is slightly behind in his developmental milestones- Not anything to worry about as he catches up quickly. He is also in the low percentiles for growth, but again, I was told that he is within normal limits and that it takes a little time to "catch up" when they are preemies. ALSO, Brayden also has ezcemca...

6 Mo. Old with Bad Exzema?

My daughter has really bad looking "patches" of dry, red skin on her face [mainly on her cheeks]. I've tried Aveeno Baby lotion [for exzema] and her pediatrician said to use 1% hydrocortizone cream, but i thought it might be too strong. It doesn't seem to bug her much. but it looks painful. :/ Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks, C. H.

Temporary Weaning to Formula

My exclusively breastfed 6 month old son has had severe eczema for over 3 months now, and we don't know which way to turn. We have seen medical doctors, tried alternative methods, used every ointment, lotion and even steroid cream, but have not been able to get this under control. Over the last 10 weeks I have eliminated the 10 major allergens from my diet, as well as tried a major elimination where I only ate turkey, brown rice, sweet potato, and squash. I have done these for 3 weeks at a time, as it takes that long to clear the system...

Suddenly Afraid of Baths!!

My 22 month old son is suddenly scared of baths! This used to be one of his favorite activities. It has gradually gotten worse. The first we noticed of it was last week. We did our same routine where we run the bath water and he sits on the potty then he puts his dirty clothes away and throws his toys in the water. But when it was time to get in he freaked out. This week, he won't even get near the bathroom when the water is running. He ran around the house trying to get away from us. When we put him the water he screams, cries and tries to...

One Year Old with Exzema

Hi, my daughter was recently diagnosed with a mild form of exzema. My pedi recommended that I use Aveeno, but it has not helped. I thought that it could just be from the chlorine (she went to swimming lessons for 6 weeks), but the lessons are over and her legs still itch her like crazy. I obviously do not want to keep reapplying steroid creams to her skin. Does anyone know of anything else I could use to help her itchy legs? Thanks so much!

I Feel like I'm Going Crazy

The past few weeks have been tough. My hubby is working crazy crazy hours and is gone 14+ hours a day leaving me and the kiddo at home. My son has been sick to: crying all the time from to many yucky diapers and bad diaper rash. We are sleeping and he's not my normal little guy. I've noticed that my own nerves are gone. I'm tired and I find myself getting annoyed with my son fussing all the time. Is this normal? I adore my son but I am so worn out and no one seems to get it. My mother-in-law told me I was an awful parent for setting my son...

How Often Take a Bath for a 3 y.o. Going to Preschool Every Day??

Hello, My kid at just over 3 years old is going to preschool every morning (8 - 12:30) Mon thru Fri. They do outside play including sand box, play gears etc. for about an hour and the rest is indoor activities. Would you bath the kid every day after school or every other day (which we are currently doing) should be fine? Thanks very much for your valuable inputs in advance!

New Crawler with Rug Burns

My 9 month old just started crawling this month. Since it is warm out we have been putting him into shorts. The trouble is his legs are getting rug burn and are really red from his knees to his toes. He sometimes favors one leg because the other hurts. I have been applying Baby Aveeno and Aquaphor. Is there anything else I can do or do we just wait until his legs "toughen" up?

How Do I Get My 4 Month Old to Feed from the Bottle?

My 4 month old daughter is too used to the breast and will not feed from the bottle. When we try and give it to her, she fusses, screams and cries until we give her the breast. We've even tried Avent, Dr. Brown, Nuk, etc nipples to see which one is closest to the real thing. We've even tried feeding her with the bottle in the morning when she is the most hungry but that doesn't work either. Will she get better if I start feeding her rice cereal? This makes it really hard to leave her with a babysitter. Any suggestions would be greatly...
