Not really sure where to post this question, but figured someone might have the answer.
I had my first period postpartum when my baby was 10 weeks old...
Does it take time for ones period to get into a regular cycle again???
Before I got pregnant, I was quiet regular 28-32 days, but it has now been way over that (assuming i'm not pregnant again)..
ThanksView Thread

Also, when she turned 3months i started giving her cereal and a cup of fruits mixed. Idk if thats too early. My oldest was eating cereal in her bottle at 2weeks tho. Thier doc says both my gurls are in the 80% for thier growth. So i make big babies. NOT fat, but tall... DH is 6'5. Any intake on the food as well? Im just curious whut other mommies are doing!View Thread

I am new to the community and to motherhood. I hoped to cloth diaper my ds, and have a diaperservice lined up, but when I tried it, the diaper is really big compared to disposables and there was also a poo explosion. now I am scared and looking for good advice before I try again.
On a seperate but related note, what am I doing wrong that the disposables sometimes seem to leak urine from the back? These are frequently new and not overloaded with pee.
I appreciate any guidance anybody can give.

My name is Melissa and I am trying to find some information for a friend.
Does anyone on here have experience with an infant with a Hiatal Hernia? Or has your infant undergone surgery for this?
Here is a little background so you can understand what I need:
She has a 4 month old daughter. When the baby was 2 1/2 months old she took her to the doctor. The doctor told the mother that the baby was not gaining enough weight and needed some testing. The baby had a Upper Endoscopy done which supposedly showed that she had a Hiatal Hernia.
The doctor told the mother that the baby needed surgery. The mother did not want to have it done and told the doctor so. He told her that it was Medically Nessecary and if she didn't consent he would report her to the state for negligence. Now she is a single mother of 4 and is on state aid. She isn't able to go to any doctor she wants plus she lives in a very rural area with few doctors to choose from.
She consented to the surgery. This was mid February. Now it is mid-April the baby is being fed through a feeding tube and has been since the surgery. They have the baby on the highest allowable dosage of Nexium allowed for her. The baby recently has a second Upper Endoscopy which showed that the surgery didn't work. How can this be possible?
The baby refuses to drink whether by breast-feeding or bottle. The doctor told her if was because the baby's throat still hurts from surgery plus the acid reflux. How can the baby's throat hurt from this surgery that was 2 months ago?
I would appreciate any experiences or advice that you can give. Thank you in advance for reading this long post and helping!!View Thread
Its my son and I think he has Sandifers syndrome which can be from severe GERD. Anyone see this before? He is very happy, loveable, wonderful baby. After he eats, he almost always postures, not always this severe but pretty much everytime he eats. He is primarily breastfed but it is bottle fed expressed milk because he has this extension thing so he pulls off the breast as soon as my milk comes in.....I gave up, but pump 5 times a day and can keep up. I give 1 bottle of Nutramigen formula at night with some cereal in it, per pedi recommendations. He has been allergy tested, no allergies. I have tried giving up milk and soy in my diet, no results. I tried no caffeine, no results. He is on prevacid and we periodically do chiropractic, we also elevate his head when he sleeps at night. He doesn't usually puke a lot, sometimes a little. he's in the 98th percentile for weight so sometimes I think doctors don't take me seriously but I did convince one doctor who is going to do an endoscopy on April 12, I think he thinks I'm crazy and he's just appeasing me. Unfortunately I didn't have this video to show him but will show him next time I see him. He wakes often at night because will only eat a little at a time, postures, then falls asleep again. Its exhausting!!!! Also posting on 1 year board.View Thread
As soon as I lay her down (i lay her down on her tummy because that is the ONLY way she will fall asleep), she starts the loud, non-stop crying unless I pick her up. She will roll over on her back crying even louder wanting me to pick her up. I just keep turning her over, rubbing her back, putting her pacifier back in her mouth, etc until she falls asleep. She WILL eventually go to sleep, but it takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to get her down for a nap, and up to 30 minutes at bed time! Is this normal?? I let her cry it out sometimes, and I feel so guilty!

P.S.- she is on a routine and it's the same old stuff. I give her a bath around 7:30-8pm, a massage, a bottle, i cuddle with her, etc and then she is in bed by 9pm, 9:30 at the latest. she is also a very good sleeper...once she goes to sleep. she will get up around 7-7:30am every morning for a bottle and then go to sleep 10 minutes later and sleep until her next feeding at around 10:15am. Is she getting TOO much sleep? she takes 2-3 more naps during the day, one being 2 hours and the others being 45 minutes to an hour.
sorry, i feel like i was rambling...View Thread

Fave Dr. Seuss Book? Hop on Pop
What do you think of Charlie Sheen's antics? I feel scared him - I think there's some mental issues outside of the ego and drugs. I had such a crush on him in the 80s!
Any new baby developments? I'm potty training my 2.5 year old - doing a lot of laundry!
If you could do ANYTHING this weekend, what would it be? Babysitter, sushi with my husband! Spa treatment too?
Who is next?!?!

At least ONE Dr. Seuss book is in the mix of their "3-book" selection.
Are you reading to your baby? What are your fave books? I also love the touch and feel books for little ones...
