YIKES!! But in all it was a great visit I'm happy to say!! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!View Thread
Lucas will be 4 months on the 26th
2. Diaper size:
Size 3
3. Clothing size:
Mostly 3-6 months although he's getting more into the 6 months clothes now
4. Most memorable moment with LO so far:
Sitting up while in my lap at 2 1/2 months. We were sitting in the floor-I had him sitting on the floor in my lap when all of the sudden he lunged forward really quick then sat back. He did this twice then just sat up and stayed up on his own. He now thinks he should be sitting up all the time LOL...
5. Newest milestone:
He's discovered his vocal chords so now he's constantly chattering and making all kinds of sounds! It's quite funny to just sit and listen!!
6. Have you started any food other than formula/bm yet? If so, how is it going? If not, when do you plan to start?
No foods yet. He's on a special program with his formula and can't start anything else until 4 months. We go to the doctor Monday and he'll probably let us start adding cereal to his formula and gradually going to solid foods.
7. Anything coming up that you are looking forward to in LO's life?
His first Thanksgiving and Christmas (although he can't eat anything we're eating just him being here is a blessing and a joy!!) And I can't wait to get him a few things for Christmas we've been looking at!!
8. What is something difficult about raising LO right now?
I have him at work with me during the day and sometimes it's hard to get anything done. He's had 2 bad sinus infections and when we're giving him medicine it requires a little extra time and a few extra diaper changes
but it's going a lot better than I thought it might. He's a great baby and really entertains himself for the most part! If we can get his nose clear we'll all be happier!!View Thread



You could enter your child's photo too!! It takes about a week for approval then voting for your child starts the next month.
Hope everyone has a great day!View Thread

Our 3 month old son has had a stuffy nose for 9 or 10 weeks now. It started when he was about 2 weeks old. At his 4 week appointment the pedi told us to use the saline drops, suction it out and use a cool mist humidifier. We've been doing so ever since-except we use the saline mist b/c he doesn't like drops very well. It was still present so we took him back at 6 weeks. The pedi did a nose culture and ordered labs and discovered he had MRSA-a staph infection in the nose. After 10 days of heavy anitbiotics and 5 days of nose drops the staph went away but the nose congestion didn't. I took him back at 8 weeks-pedi said same thing. Took him back at 10 weeks-same thing. Called again-pedi said to try a nose aspirator that can suction better than the bulb suction and continue saline drops and humidifier and if he's not better in a couple of days he wants to see him again. Not only does he have the nose congestion but I believe he also has drainage in his throat which he gets choked on and coughs because of it. He's starting to get choked on the drainage and spit up quite often. We keep him elevated at feedings, when he's playing and when he's asleep. The nose congestion isn't getting any better and he's still getting choked on his spit/drainage a lot. We believe he's also beginning to teeth so that's more saliva he's getting choked on. The good in all of this is that he's demeanor is still good, no temp. and no change in feedings.
My question is-have we missed anything/does any one know of anything that might help?? I'm so ready for my little guy to be over this. Thanks.View Thread
