she has been eating baby foods since 5 months. she loves almost everything ive given her veggies, fruits, mashed potatoes..just not peaches or pear juice. she likes turkey and chicken baby foods.. but she still whines and gets all teary when we eat in front of her..cause she dont have what were eating.. she chews everything.. even purees. we were amazed that she knew how to chew.. but i was wondering at what age is it ok to give little tiny peices of bread or toast.. or finger food. but she hasnt started teething yet.. i know lots of people start giving their kid toast around 7 months. maybe with a little water on it to make it mushy.. but what all did/do you feed your 6-9 month old?
3 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agoi hurt my wrist about 2 1/2 months ago...?
and went to the hospital with it about a month ago. they said it was sprained and put an ace bandage on it and told me to rest it cause i had tendinitis. i have a 6 month old little girl, who does NOT allow me to rest anything on my body.. ESPECIALLY my wrists! it seems to be the same if not worse..if i bend my thumb back even just a little it feels like it snaps out of place and i have to painfully push my thumb forward for it to go back to where it feels in place. if my daughter jumps or wiggles and it moves the wrong way my wrist goes out and i cant hold her with it,,,its hard to change diapers. and thats not working seeing as how im the only diaper changer.
is this really a sprain..i honestly dont remember doing anything to hurt it when it started..im not very active..and i didnt do anything to hurt it..unless holding a then 15 lb baby and changing her diaper would have GRADUALLY sprained it.should i get a second opinion?
how much longer is it going to be like this..i NEED my wrist NOW. ace bandage just made it hurt worse and made my fingers hurt really bad. ughhh im going crazy.

5 AnswersHistory1 decade agotrying to get my 6month old to sleep in her crib.help?
my daughter is turning 6 months this month, and i would REEEEAAALLLY love to get her to sleep in her own bed now. she has been sleeping in the bed with me and dh , with a few nights here and there that she will sleep in a bassinet. the problem is, when she sleeps in the bed with me, she wants to breastfeed alllll night. im not just talking about till she gets to sleep, off an on till morning. she has been sleeping solid thru the night since she was about 2 months old. no problem. but she refuses to go to sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time in her crib. we have the crib in our bedroom..so i feed ehr and get her to sleep, {swaddled is the only way i can get her to go to sleep without her being in the bed with me at bedtime} then i lay her in her crib, she wakes up 5-30 minutes later screaming bloody murder. we have tried most everything. crying it out doesnt seem to work at all cause she screams for an hour or more relentlessly, getting worse and louder and eventually getting so upset that she cant breathe and is choking on her own spit.. i dont know what im doing wrong there..but it doesnt work..
i have back problems and laying on my side is really getting to hurt.. does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do to help her get use to sleeping in her own bed?

3 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agobaby never seems to get full -bfing?
i am breastfeeding, and my 6 week old never is satisfied.
when she latches on..shes gets too restless sitting there for a long time..and never makes it past like 10-15 minutes..then she falls asleep, and no matter how many times and for how long she goes back on, she just keeps eating and eating..
so then i pump to see if thats easier -she has less gas with a bottle than the breast cause she starts wiggling and sucks air in while she tries to re-latch- and i give her about 4 oz..and shes still wanting more at the end of that..
i can only make soo much milk -i get about 4-6 oz --from both breast together-- at each pumping session.. and shes drinking everything im pumping and im worried she needs more milk than im making.
im latching and pumping/bottle both.
but..she spits up a good bit sometimes-so i was thinking maybe hse was just replacing that loss..but she dont spit up half of what she takes in..and shes gaining weight.. about 6 oz per week for the past 2 weeks.
is she needing more milk.. cause the bottles empty before she pulls away.. she has never pulled away.. she either falls asleep at the breast..or the bottle runs out before she stops drinking.
5 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agobaby spitting up, and constantly hungry.. gassy and crying alot..?
so i have been strictly bf-ing until yesterday. i introduced a little similac.
but thursday my 6 week old started being very fussy.. arching her back, screaming constantly, very gassy, its really hard to get her to burp, and then she spits up really bad from not burping.. she acts liker her stomach is hurting her really bad.. she is drooling alot, and we are getting very tired from exhausting every noisy, quiet, moving thing we have in the house to try and calm her down-the bouncer..the swing.. swaddling her, dancing with her, rocking her, music.. i have tried gripe water, and gas drops.
the dr said it was probably something i ate..but i went without dairy for a week and no change. the dr says she thinks she is just going thru a growth spurt and she is cranky.
im supposed to call tomorrow if its not any better.
but she will eat from the breast for about ten minutes,,and become uninterested,fall asleep, not burp and then spit up..
so i try to keep her awake to eat longer to make sure shes getting hindmilk, but then she spits it up anyways..
she is wanting to eat like every thirty minutes...and thats just..crazy..lol.
so im pumping to make sure she gets the thick stuff in the little bit that she drinks..but then she drinks about 4 oz from the bottle..then still eats her hands and sucks on everything..
then i give her formula.. she drinks about 3 oz and goes to sleep for awhile.. then wakes up with what im guessing is gas or a tummyache from that as well..
we think she may either have colic or acid reflux..
can anyone give me any advice.
this is our first child and we are at our wits ends..she screams so loudly and i feel horrible that i cant make her feel better. ;[[
10 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade ago6 wk old baby crying uncontrollably and seems very uncomfortable..help!?
and before anyone starts--weve already been to the dr..
she told me to call back tuesday if its not any better..
but a few days ago.. my 6 week old started crying alot..it seemed like she was just fussy..
and now she is constantly straining like shes trying to use the bathroom.. but theres nothin there for a while.
she is screaming hysterically and clenching up and stretching and straining..she eats fine..thats actually the only thing that makes her stop crying..
but it seems like she has a horrible tummyache..and idk what to do to help her..
i did eat alot of dairy the other day.. probably equal to about 8 oz of cream cheese.
but i have since laid off the dairy.. but she seems like shes in pain or something is bothering her sooo bad.. she isnt using the bathroiom quite as much as she had been.
its still pretty liquidy and orangish.
has anyone had this problem before?
please help this is our first child and we have no idea whats wrong with her or what to do to help..
i have tried gripe water and gas releif drops,, they help her to ease to sleep but then she wakes up 15 minutes later screaming and grunting..

3 AnswersPregnancy1 decade ago1 week old baby- how do i make more milk?
my milk came in 3 days after i gave birth. she is a week old today. i have been pumping at really random hours cause i didnt know how much or how many times to do it. {latching on wasnt working for either of us and she wasnt getting enough} but i went to the dr yesterday and he told me if she is fussy to have food ready to try before i try anything else. so i came home and pumped exactly 6 ounces in one sitting. and since then, it seem like its not producing, my breasts before were very full and heaving with milk and i could pump quickly cause ther was alot of it. but this morning i had to pump while she was crying for food cause she drank all i had pumped last night and yesterday.
is there any special foods i can eat or vitamins i can take to step up my milk production real quick..i think i may have just pumped too much at one time?
