Infant Not Sleeping and Not Taking Bottle

Hi all, I have a new infant 6 weeks old who I have been trying to wean off the breast. I go back to work in a week and a half and he will be going to a sitters. He absolutely hates the bottle. He screams and screams when I try to give it to him. I thought that it was just me as he had taken bottles from others before however now he is fussing for everyone. My pediatrician said when I started to wean to start with day feedings so I am still nursing in the evening, night, and morning. Now he is not sleeping at night either. He will go...

How to Get Rid of GAS in an Infant

Does anyone have an ideas how to get rid of GAS? My daughter is only 1 month old, and has gas so bad, that she cries after she eats. I've tried rubbing her stomach, mylicon drops, warm compresses on her stomach, warm baths and laying her on my stomach. I don't lay her down after she eats for 30 mins, then I lay her down, but she cries from the gas. She is bottle feed with breast milk and formula. I have tried to just breast feed, but she wont latch on.. I'm open to any suggestion to get rid of the gas. Thank you for all your help, it's...

Is Thumb-sucking Really That Bad?

i have a 4 month old baby boy, Hunter, very cute, very happy, very easy going. lately he's started to suck on his thumbs. my mom (who helps take care of him) is very against thumb sucking. she's afraid that he'll suck his thumbs until his skin goes raw. my mom is a doctor, so she's seen a lot of weird things, and raw thumbs on children, unfortunately, is one of those things she's seen and couldn't get out of her mind. so my mom and i have been trying to cover up Hunter's hands using mitts and try to introduce the pacifier, but Hunter's...

Feeding, Sleeping and Schedule for Twins

We are proud parents of twins who are nine weeks old. The last week or two they have become more fussy and life has become a little more challenging. My request would apply to many topics including feeding, sleeping, twins, and the importance of scheduling. Our major problem now is fussiness that we believe is from gas and constipation. Yesterday we started them on a prescription stool softener. We are hopeful this will help. The twins are mainly fussy in the evening which leads our doctor's nurse to believe we may be dealing with...

Baby Refuses Bottle

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to help my baby "like" the bottle. She is 4 months old and I've been trying since one month. Obviously she is exclusively breast-fed, and I've been pumping to have milk available so I can "go out" once in a while. HA! Yeah right, she refuses a bottle anytime we try (even I tried once and she just laughed at me!). Anyways, this may be related to her dislike of the pacifier... It'd be nice to be able to go out once in a while and not worry whether she will take the bottle or not. Any...

Infant Tummy Problem

Hi, my granddaughter is 3 months old and is basically fussy. We changed her formula to Soy because I saw the rash under her skin like my son's was. We'll also occasionally give her mint tea. But she is never really comfortable. After she eats she will spit up and it is milky and slimey, not curdly and smelly like it normally should be. She only likes to be held vertically on your shoulder, NEVER laying across in your arms. She will cry out and raise her legs like something in her tummy hurts. I don't think my daughter told the doctor about...
