Car Seat Napping - Safe?

Hello- My now 11 week old has graduated from 'bouncy chair' napping to car seat. I understand some moms do this and doctors recommend it (for acid reflux issues) but am double-checking on the safety of this practice, as I have read articles that the car seat should be used in a car only. Ideally, this should be the case, but I feel sleep is just as important to her well-being. I do not strap her in while she is napping & feel the incline is similar to a bouncy chair. She has been going down in her crib for bedtime (graduated...

Frequent Waking in 4-Month-Old Baby

Hello! My daughter just turned four months old and is waking several times throughout the night (anywhere from a few times to almost hourly). She was like this as an infant until we bought the Miracle Blanket swaddler. She then began sleeping through the night (10-hour stretches!). I've read that most babies should be weaned from swaddling around 3 to 4 months, so we stopped swaddling her, and she just does not sleep well without it. When she wakes, I give her her binky, and she'll fall back to sleep until the next waking. I do not...

5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper. She cluster fed from the beginning and if it wasn't for the pump I think I would have either given up breastfeeding or jumped off a bridge! A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

A Few Questions About My 12 Week Old

Hi ladies, I have a few questions about my 12 week old. First of all, when is the earliest a baby can start teething? Second, how do I get my daughter to nap for me during the day? She will nap at daycare and if someone else puts her down, but the second I lay her down she wakes up. I have heard that she smells the milk on me. She will sleep for me at night, but not during the day. She does go to daycare during the week, and I was told that she just misses me so much that maybe she just wants to stay by me as much as she can during the...

Can You Re Refridgerate Breast Milk?

I took out a bottle of refridgerated breast milk which we feed my 5 week old during the day so he doesn't sleep so long. However, as it is now almost 7 p.m. I want to switch to formula which we feed him at night so it sustains him longer, can I re refridgerate breast milk? Also, on my chart it says freshly expressed breast milk is good at room temperature for 10 hours, does that go the same for breast milk taken out of the refridgerator and put at room temperature? Thanks in advance!

Is Velcro Bad for Babies?

I am expecting our first child within the next 4 weeks and am busy getting things ready in the house that I will know that I need. I was planning on getting the "swaddle me blankets" but someone told me that velcro was bad for babies. I tried to do a google search but got no results. I decided to ask you all because you usually have good advice. I am also getting regular swaddling blankets as well as a miracle blanket but thought the swaddle me would be good for my parents, husband, and possibly me in case I can't get the hang of the...

Is There Any Solution for Infant Gas Pains?

My little girl is 4 months old and she is a sweet little thing for most of the day. She doesn't sleep all that long during some days, but all sleep is varying with her. Some days we will get 3 hour long naps and only one wake up at night for a bottle and then back down. Other days it is 20 minute cat naps throughout the day and sleeps for about 3-5 hours at night and then is up for the rest of the night. The problem isn't that she doesn't sleep- it the REASON WHY she doesn't sleep. When she is up at night, she is actually trying to...

My Baby Has Colic

Hey guys, I have a 5 week old with colic. I am breastfeeding him, and have tried taking out dairy, spicy foods, raw veggies and caffine. Nothing has helped. I have tried gas drops and that doesn't do anything either. He is on medication and it helps with his acid reflux... but he is still so irritable at night. He is very fussy at night, I have heard that there is nothing you can do about colic... we have started a routine with a bath at night to try to calm him... I have also heard something about the miracle blanket, do you know anything...

How Long Do You Swaddle??

Hi all... I am a mother of two twin girls who are 10 weeks old. They are wonderful and we are so close to getting them to sleep through the night. We use the miracle blanket when they sleep at night and it basically gives them a very tight swaddle. I think that they sleep well because of the security that the swaddle gives them. My question is, how long do you swaddle them? With all the information about SIDS I don't want to just put them in the crib with a blanket however I don't want to have them get cold as winter approaches. ...

Baby Coming Out of Swaddle

My son is 16 weeks old. I have been swaddling him in the miracle blanket at night for bedtime since he was about 6 weeks old. I know that the miracle blanket says you should discontinue use at 14 weeks, but he is so comfortable in it and can put himself to sleep at night once he is in his blanket. Recently he has been getting his arms out of the blanket in the middle of the night and then he starts crying. Any advise? Should I stop using the miracle blanket? Should I stop swaddling? Should I find a bigger one and wrap him tighter? ...
