Husband Can't Soothe 6 Week Old - Mom Has No Break - Any Ideas?

Hi Ladies, I am writing to find out your experiences so that I can share them with my Husband. I stay at home with our new six week old daughter whom I adore beyond belief. I am at her beckon cry because that is what you are supposed to do when they are this little :) I breastfeed but pump a bottle every couple days so that my husband can feed her once in a while. She is still waking up at night on average every 2.5 to 3 hours, sometime a little longer or shorter, we got our first 4ish hours stretch a couple of nights ago - yeah! ...

Four Month Sleeps in Swing

My four and half month old daughter has always been a really bad sleeper. She needs constant movement to stay asleep. She has been sleeping in a cradle swing for almost two months now. We know she is going to eventually grow too big for the swing but we have tried everything ween her. We recently saw the pedi who was visibly appalled that she is still sleeping in a swing. She will sleep in her crib (at night and during the day) for exactly 40 minutes and then wake up. We have tried music, rocking ,jiggling , bouncing, reading, noise...

Colic Baby Help Please!

Hey mamas! My good friend has a 9 wk old son with really bad colic. He was born 5 wks early but didn't have any problems and has caught up in weight. He seems to have bad gas and reflux which makes things worse. She's been nursing and giving him formula to keep his weight on. I feel so sorry for her because he wakes up sometimes every hour at night and cries all the time. I can't give much advice because my daughter never had these issues. She's tried gripe water, Highland's colic tablets, he's on reflux medicine, and she...

Question About the "Babywise" Method of Sleep and Eat Routine

I have a quesiotn for other mom's who have tried the Babywise method of establishing a routine for my infant. My son is 8 weeks old, and we have been very good about establishing the 3 hour routine Babywise requires. Although, I just realized last night that we never established a "set" first morning feeding. We have been going from whenever he wakes as the first feeding to then begin the 3 hour schedule. Can anyone advise as to how they established the first feeding? Do you set an alarm for the same time? If you were on maternity ...

Stopping Thumb Sucking

My 8 month old started sucking her thumb at 5 months. My husband and I have tried to discourage her by taking it out of her mouth every time we see her with it in her mouth, tried putting band aids on her thumbs but she doesn't mind them, tried using Thum but again she doesn't mind it. We just noticed a change in the shape of her mouth, which we thought wouldn't happen for quite some time. We are not comfortable with 'just letting her suck her thumb' and figure it should be easier to stop the habit before it goes on too long. Has anyone...
