I love my baby!
8 month old baby not sleeping anymore! Help!?
Ok moms I need your help............ PLEASE!
My 3 year old Started sleeping 12 hours at night when he was 7 weeks old. my 8 month old Lilly on the other hand.... not so much. She sleeps ok. But for the last few weeks she has been waking up 2 -3 times a night. crying and crying hard. i tried feeding her more but it did not help. I tried giving her heavier food an hour before bed thinking she just might be hungry. (she is a good eater. she is about 23 lbs) But that did not help. I'm not a big fan of letting her cry it out.... 1. because our house is small so when she cries, everyone wakes up. 2. she is just too cute. 3. she cries for like an hour. thats too long. So crying it out does not help. And if she does go back to sleep on her own, she is up again crying an hour later. WHAT DO I DO? is it just a phase? She see's her doc in a few weeks, but docs don't always know everything so I wanted your help. Any ideas what I can do? She doesn't even nap that much during the day. Maybe 2 hours total and that is nothing for an 8 month old baby. Please help!!
3 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years agoThyroid Problems? Please help?
I have an appointment on friday to get my Thyroid check, but I wanted get your thoughts on too. For the last few months I have been sooooo tired. I could sleep all day. I get 7-8 hours of sleep at night so I know it's not lack of sleep. My hair is falling out. I have these horrible mood swings. Sometimes I find it hard to control my temper.
I had a baby 7 months ago. I had postpartum depression with my first so I know what that is like, but this is not the same. I know that you can have post hair loss after having a baby, but I'm loosing more then that. I can run my fingers thru my hair and it just comes out in clumps.
I know this sounds a lot like postpartum depression, but trust me...... I really dont think it's that. Something just does not feel right in my body. Thyroid cancer runs in my family. 2 grandmothers and my cousin have it right now.
If you have any experience with thyroid problems please give me your thoughts.
Thank you
1 AnswerOther - Pregnancy & Parenting9 years agoPain in right breast 4 months post baby?
I stopped nursing my baby girl over 3 months ago. She is 4 months now. I'm still producing a very small amount of milk in my right breast. But it's a very very small amount. My question is that my right breast hurts. It feels like surges of pain. Enough pain to make me grab my breast and say ouch! I felt for lumps and did not feel any. Is it just hormones? Is this normal? Should I be worried? Thanks
2 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years ago4 month old baby crying it out?
My little girl is almost 4 months. She is a great sleeper for the most part. Only cat naps during the day. I put her to bed at 8pm every night and I dream feed her with rice cereal in her bottle at 11-ish before I go to bed. she wakes at 5am to eat again. But sometimes she wakes at 3am to eat. The last few nights I have been letting her cry it out when she wakes at 3am. She cries for about 3-5 min and then right back to sleep. My question is....... Is it ok to let her cry it out? She is a big girl and I know that she does not NEED to eat at 3am because she only drinks 2oz and then goes right back to sleep. My son slept thru the night at 7 weeks old and never woke up until 7am so I'm a little confused with my daughter. When do babies start sleeping longer? Am I going to have to wake up at 5 am for the next year? lol Thanks for the help! :)
6 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years ago3 month old baby with really bad gas? Please help!?
For the last 2 weeks my 3 month old daughter has had really bad gas. She lets out the biggest toots! Louder than my husband! LOL I can tell she is very uncomfortable. She wiggles and cries until she toots. She was sleeping thru the night until last week. She wakes up all night crying. I go in and pick her up, she toots really loud and then goes back to sleep. She is not hungry, just has to toot. I have tried gas drops and they did nothing. Could it be that her formula is giving her gas now? She is on a milk based formula. I tried soy, but she just pukes it up. Other then the gas she seams to be totally fine with the milk based formula. I changed bottles and I have also tried gripe water. Should I call her doctor? Is there an RX for babies to help with gas? Please help. I want my happy baby back. Thanks! :)
5 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years ago3 month old baby nap schedule? Is it possible?
My daughter is almost 3 months old. And I can not get her on a day time schedule for anythings! My son was on a great schedule by 3 months. He was so easy to put on a schedule but not my little girl.
She is on a great night time schedule. Bath every night between 7:30 and 8 and in bed by 8:30. She sleeps from 8:30pm to 5am for a bottle and then back to sleep until 8am. It's great! But during the day I cannot seam to get her on a routine. Sometimes she eats 5 oz at a time and then only 2oz at a time. She never naps more than 1 hour at a time. Any ideas? I really want to get a schedule started. It makes life so much easier! :) Thanks!
4 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years agoHad my TUBES TIED! Please read!!?
So I had my last baby via c section 8 weeks ago. I had my tubes tied as well. I am reading all these horrible stories online about how miserable women are after they get their tubes tied. Bad periods, massive weight gain, moody, depressed......... are there any good stories out there? Is there anyone that had it done and feels fine? I gained 50lbs with this baby and I only have 9 left to lose. I'm so scared that I will start gaining weight. I work really hard to stay thin, I come from a family history of over weight people. Please tell me I'm not going to become over weight and moody because of getting my tubed tied.............. THanks
4 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting9 years agoFirst Period after C section? Bloated?
My baby is 8 weeks. I got my first period yesterday. It's really heavy. I feel soooooo bloated! I got up this morning and I look 5 months pregnant again. My tummy is all puffy again. Is this normal? I have light cramping. I did have a c section. Not sure if that matters or not. Just wondering if this bloating is normal. Should I take it easy and not workout until I stop bleeding? (I have about 10lbs left to lose) Thanks for the help! :)

1 AnswerNewborn & Baby9 years ago5 week old baby with reflux. Please help!?
My baby girl is five weeks old. Last week the doctor told us that she has reflux. He put her on a med that did not work. Yesterday they changed her to Prevacid. She had her first dose last night but she still cried and was restless until about midnight. How long before the med works? Also, she wants to eat 5 oz every two hours around the clock. Her doc says thats too much and she wants to eat every time her tummy hurts. Have any other moms gone thru this? It's so miserable for me and her. I would love our thoughts on this. Thanks!

2 AnswersNewborn & Baby9 years agoC section and tubes tied? Still really swollen?!?
I had a repeat c section and my tubes tied one week ago. My belly is still really swollen like I'm about 6 months pregnant. I'm nursing and I was hoping that would help the swelling go away faster. I don't remember being this swollen with my first. My hands, feet and legs are still swollen as well. Is it because I got my tubes tied? Did this happen to you? Thanks for the help.

we are about to have baby # 2. My husband snores so loud that even after 10 yrs of marriage I still can't sleep thru it. I'm so worried that his snoring will effect the sleep of our new born.
