Good Baby TipsTips for keeping your baby happy and healthy

Question by akahead: Is there anything wrong with leaving my baby sleeping in his carseat when i’m at home?
i have a 2month old baby, and when i come home i leave him sleeping in the stroller. he is in the car seat part of the stroller, should i switch him to his crib. He also likes to be rocked in the stroller, so if he starts to cry i rock him back to sleep in the pushchair, does anybody else do this?

for example downs syndrome or a deformity of some kind??

I have celiac disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the latter discovered during pregnancy, and I’m somewhat worried that my baby may inherit either them or just a background for some more autoimmune problems. Would you feel guilty if your child did inherit any ‘bad gene’ from you?

Is it bad to let a 4 month old baby cry if there is nothing wrong with them? For example: if he’s full, has a clean diaper, and has been burped. I feel bad letting him cry, but he is so fussy about everything even sometimes when i play with him. But not all the time. And i know he doesn’t have Colic, because it just started within the last couple of days.

It is definitley in my nature to over think everything, but this is taking the joy out of this amazing time in my life. Any suggestions? Anyone else do this to themselves? (in pregnancy or anything else) All opinions are treasured. Really. Thanks!

Every time she sees my baby, she has some new ailment for the baby! The kid hadn’t been out of me for 2 hours and she decided he had jaundice and was choking on invisible threads she kept picking off his clothes! Everytime she looks after him she informs me in very serious tones about how he done a WATERY POO. He had sleep in his eye and she decided he had conjuntivitis. He has a birthmark and she insisted it was a heat rash. He was crying one day and she said he must have colic. The last and most ridiculous one was she couldn’t calm him so decided he must have a fever! I have to physically pry my baby out of her arms because when he gets upset she won’t hand him to me to feed or console him! She denies that she is being possesive and over worrying about him, and I feel it is insulting to me – the way it comes across is that I don’t know how to bring up my child or I’m not noticing all these things that are wrong with him like I’m a bad mother! Any advice on how to deal with her?
Yes it is her first grandchild so I guess that’s why she’s so loony. No, we have our own place thankfully – I would have a breakdown living with her! Hubby is a total mama’s boy and won’t say anything to her, although he did tell me to talk to her myself. I did try that (very nicely) the other day and it upset her – she left without saying goodbye and I’ve been feeling guilty ever since. I know she’s just being overprotective and I should be grateful, but she is a gossip and I can imagine her telling the family how I ignore all my baby’s problems. She’s always telling me about her BEST FRIEND’S upbringing methods and what a bad mother she is. She also has told me that all her own kids had every illness or problem imaginable – including my hubby who apparently had colic. But upon seeing what she calls colic paints a bigger picture!

Why is it so wrong when a baby is crying or throwing a tantrum in public and when a loud obnoxious person is laughing at the top of their lungs and food falling out of their mouths, no one says anything?? Parents always get the ugly stares when their child is having a bad day and when an adult is obnoxious, no one bothers to look. Adults know better, a child doesn’t, right?? What do you think?

I seen a Mother constantly work with a baby that would not stop crying to the point she started to yell. I have seen this many times and what bothers me is how stupid some women can be when they fail to realize the baby is crying becasue something is wrong, how else can the baby tell you when they do not talk yet…duh,
I think expected Mothers need mandatory classes on raising a child for some don’t you think?

I changed my 4 week old baby’s diaper, fed her and held her for like 2 hours and she is still crying.. What could I possibly do wrong!! Please help!!
