baby hasn’t wet her diaper?

  • Posted on January 6, 2011 at 1:24 pm

every morning when i wake up with my daughter, i change her diaper first, and its usually pretty full. this morning, her diaper was completely dry. she hasn’t had diarrhea, but she has pooped (which is what she usually does within an hour of me changing her first diaper). I fed her a 6 oz bottle and she drank 1 1/2 oz of water. she isn’t on solid foods yet, except the rice cereal. how long should i wait before i call the doctor. its probably been 12 hours since her last wet diaper.
she just turned 5 months old
my daughter just wet in her diaper completely! and its A LOT!

Toddler diaper bag/sharing etiquette?…Just how much does she have to share?

  • Posted on November 29, 2010 at 11:24 pm

My daughter just turned 3. She is not potty trained completely yet, but does a great job staying dry throughout the day. Even so we do not leave the house without her diaper bag, which she calls her Toddler Bag. The toddler bag is always very well stocked with Pull-ups, a spare outfit, sunscreen, crayons, a few books, an empty sippy cup, and snack that she picks herself. Cheerios, animal crackers or similar. We take this bag every time we go anywhere more than just a simple run to the store.
The problem is that NO other mothers seem this well prepared. Other 3 and 4 year olds at picnics, parties, and dance recitals are always asking my daughter to use her crayons, to eat her Cheerios, or read her books. I want her to learn to share, of course. But she should be able to have something to herself sometimes! Can’t these other mothers think a head and bring these things? How much does she have to share anyway?
For example, we went to a dance recital today. Knowing it was going to be long I was well stocked. Halfway though she was getting cranky and whiny so we pulled out the Cheerios and filled her sippy with water from the fountain. She was quite happy. Until my friends 4 year old son starting asking her for Cheerios. She said to me that she did not want to share, and I told her that was okay. She was hungry! She ate the whole snack bag herself and drank her water, then was fine for the rest of the show. I felt bad for the other boy, but I knew my daughter was hungry. Whey should she have to give up her food?
So how much does she have to share? Do I have to bring enough Cheerios, Crayons, and books for EVERY kid that may or may not be there? Or is this a lesson to other moms to be more prepared for their own kids??
I am not angry about her having to share, I am annoyed about parents not thinking ahead for her their own children and then putting my daughter on the spot. this is not a one time thing. it happens a LOT. She is more inclined to share toys and crayons with the other kids, but not the snacks. If we are going out for a play date, then i always bring enough for the other child too. But at random cookouts and graduation parties I often do not know how many kids will be there. and I do not feel like we have to plan for them all.

Really bad diaper rash!!! From formula?!?!?

  • Posted on October 23, 2010 at 9:24 am

My daughter who has been breastfed for 8 mos just began drinking Good Start soy formula last week. The last couple of days she has had a small diaper rash but today it is REALLY BAD! I’ve been changing her often and putting clear desitin and a + d zinc oxide ointment on her at every diaper change and I took her diaper off and let her butt dry but its all over her down there. What else can I do and is this from her formula???

Do I need to switch it and if I do should I just switch it all at once or will switching it make it worse? Please help me shes in a lot of pain and I will take her to the doc tomorrow but tonight she needs relief and I need answers.

My Husband always tells me he feels funny changing our daughter’s diaper. She’s a year and a half.?

  • Posted on July 27, 2010 at 7:21 pm

My husband has an addiction to porn websites and chatting with them and texting them. He even told me masturbates watching porn. Can this be a reason that he feels funny changing his daughter’s diaper. The first day she was born he told the nurse he felt funny changing her diaper and that was not a good sign. Why do you think he feels funny about it?? Please help me let me know what you think.
