Gift for Baby Showerd

Moms. I am invited to baby shower. This is my 1st baby shower,after all it is American culture here. So, what should I give? Honestly, I never have baby shower for my son. And when my son was born, people donate money because they know we will need it for surgery. And I didn't buy anything because my sister gave me all outfits. I usually gave the baby in Indo : Johnson baby bath package, it is common. Or money. Is it okay to give money? How much? If gift, how much to be considered polite here? Thanks Update: Btw, do we have to bring...

6 Mo. Old Will Not Sleep Without Being Swaddled and a Pacifier

Hi all! I am blessed to have 2 kids(girls). First one is 25 months and second one will turn 6 months on the 14th. I did not have any sleep issues with my first daughter. With the second one it is a little different. I had to read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Dr. Weissbluth in order to put her on some kind of schedule (couldn't find the swaddling part over there). Now she takes three naps during the day (1-2 hours duration each) and wakes up one time at night to be fed. She goes to sleep most of the time without a problem. I turn...

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...

Feeding Baby a Little Cereal

Hello everyone, this is my first time writing a question or looking for some advice. My 5 week old DOES NOT sleep at all through the night. My husband and I are up every hour to 2 hours mainly doing feedings for him. I know that he has his nights and days probably screwed up, but it is the feedings that are driving me nuts. I breast pump and bottle (he wasn't latching at all) and we were told if we give him formula his last few night feedings that will keep him from being up every hour or two because it will fill up his stomach. Now I...

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...

Bigger Swaddle Wraps?

My son is outgrowing his current swaddles (Kiddopotamus), and because he wriggles out of them in the middle of the night or during naps, he wakes up more frequently. Are there different sizes (length is mostly the issue--he's close to 24 inches), and if so, where do I buy them? I don't want to spend a ton of money and have already heard of The Miracle Blanket. If at all possible, I would love a shop conveniently located to the Bothell-Kirkland border. Thanks!

Miracle Blanket Users - When Did You Stop Using It?

My daughter just turned 6 months old and still sleeps wrapped up tightly in her miracle blanket. Wondering when your kids wrestled free. (My oldest used Miracle blankets until about 5 months and always woke up with it sort of loosely wrapped in place until she finally broke free -- then we dropped it cold turkey. Shortly thereafter she started sleeping on her belly in a Halo.) Is there any reason for me to stop wrapping her up? I told her doc at her well baby visit that she still sleeps swaddled up tightly and he didn't bat an eye so I...
