How to Abide Beliefs and Not Letting Infant Daughter Wear Pants in Winter

I don't wear pants and my infant daughter won't wear any either. My reasons for this are my religious beliefs. But anyway, its really hard to find skirts for my daughter. Right now she is 5 months old. Well, winter is coming up and I want to abide by my religious beliefs in not having my daughter wear pants. I guess what my question is are there any mothers out there that are like me and only wear skirts and dresses and have daughters that they have to keep warm in the winter? Its hard to find skirts in infant sizes. Summer was easy, I put...

How to Fatten up a Baby

I know all babies come in different shapes and sizes. But, I'd feel better if my daughter was within a healthier weight range for her age. My daughter is seven months old and weighs 16 lbs. She's EXTREMELY active, crawling, standing... but just very little. It's getting colder now, and I'd love for her pants to stay up. We can't even keep the 3-6 months to stay up! Any Moms have any suggestions for beefing up a baby belly? Specifically what foods to try?

Baby Budget - NEED NUMBERS!

We have a 1 week old baby! (Yay, I know - - - I'm overjoyed) But we're also going through a bit of a financial crisis at the same time so we are going through a financial counselor. He wants us to itemize out EVERYTHING & I mean EVERYTHING, for a month to get an average. I know that a newborn differs from a 6 month old & a 6month old differs from a 12 month old so let's compare. What do you spend & on WHAT exactly? How much on diapers? Formula? If not formula - how much on baby food? Clothes? Medicines Lotions/baby baths/etc...

Putting Toddler to Sleep Question to 'No Cry' Moms

Hi Moms, This question goes out to 'No Cry' Moms. I would like to know how/when you transitioned your toddler to going to sleep on their own. The easiest way for me to get my little one down to sleep is by holding him in my arms and walking him back and forth in a room (it takes me about 3 minutes to get him to sleep). In situations when I am too tired to walk him, I lay down and in his own time he lays down next to me and falls asleep (this can take a 1/2 hour or so). My husband thinks my little guy is too old for me to walk him to...

Summer Infant Advice Needed

I know babies like to be swaddled and I know they can’t regulate their temperatures right away, but won’t a summer baby (due 6-20-07) get too hot if swaddled too tightly or with too many blankets? What about hats? How long do they need to wear them for temperature regulation? My first baby was a winter baby (born 2-2-06) so swaddling him in multiple blankets made sense (just like they did at the hospital). But I’m at a loss for what to do with a summer baby. Also, any other summer baby advice/suggestions would be appreciated!

Which Brand of Infant Clothing Runs the Largest?

Hi, My baby is still an infant but is already wearing sizes 12-24 months (depending on the brand & style). Also, I don't think it will be long before we are out of size 12 months. As winter is nearing I need to purchase long sleeve clothes. Any recommendations on brands I should look into for sleep & plays or onesies/bodysuits (that are in sizes ranging from 12 months -24 months)? I should make note that my baby's doctor has not shown any concern yet. Baby is considered in the 75th percentile as of 1.5 months ago...therefore,...

What Are Other People's Self-soothing Techniques for Helping Baby to Bed?

Our 6 1/2 month old son cries hard every night when it's time to go to bed. We try to stick to the same routine, but I admit, not religiously. I nurse him, then around 7pm or so we feed him some fruit or veggies. I usually read a book to him. We put him in his pajamas. We hang out for a little bit with low lighting, playing gently or cuddling. When it's time to go to bed, my husband swaddles him in his blankie and he screams and usually takes 20 min. to an hour to put him down. (I don't think it's the swaddling because when I try to get him...
