My baby he was born 8.9 lbs and now he is 4 month old and he weigh 21lbs. Is this normal?
My daughter was born almost completely average (7 lbs 7 oz, 19.5 inches). By four months, she was over 17 lbs, and she started out smaller than your guy and girls run smaller in general. I don't remember her height, but she was in the mid to high 90th percentile from four through nine months. She dropped down to 75th at one year, and shot back to the low 90s at 15-18 months. So, yeah, it's probably normal for your kid. He will have times that he slows down or even loses weight once he is crawling. My daughter gained only a 1/2 lb between 9-12 months, because of crawling and getting roseola right before her birthday. She just turned 20 months and I weighed her at one of my doctor's appointments--with all her clothes on she was 30 lbs! She has been out of almost all her 18 and 24 month clothes for several months and is wearing mostly 2T and some of the smaller ones are too small for her already. Some kids just run large. Some kids have a lot of early growth spurts. My niece (now 14 years) was born almost 10 lbs, but at two years, she was lighter than my girl was at one. Every kid is different.
My 16yr old is pregnant.The father is 20, my husband hates him and his family &refuses to accept them at all.?
Part of being a husband and a father is being supportive. It's one thing to be angry at the actions and behavior of your spouse or child, but to rub it in someone's face or ignore them constantly until THEY give into YOU is totally unacceptable. Even at 16, your child has the right to make her own decision about having the baby. That includes naming the baby. If she wants the baby to have the fathers name, that's a decision to be made between her and the father of the baby. I admire you for supporting your daughter in her time of need; that's what you're supposed to do. As hard as it may be, I say stand up to your husband and other daughters. Let the pregnant one tell them what her decisions are, let them know what your decision is in regards to the decision (i.e. whether you are choosing to support her or not), and if the other choose not to, that's their decision. If the other daughters try and tell you you're playing favorites and letting her off easy, simply tell them "No, I'm supporting my daugther in her time of need, and I would be doing the same if it was you" No offense, but if your husband and daughters are normal, they should love this baby the moment they see it and realize their relationship to it. Don't ever let them treat the baby as if he/she were a black sheep or not part of the family. Regardless of what they will think of the daughter, it is not the baby's fault. Be sure to warn them that the tougher they are on the daughter, the further away she'll grow. But hopefully, they will come to their senses and it won't ever come to that.
I was 8-years-old and had finished taking a shower. It was nighttime about 8 pm. The year was 1990.My mom always laid out my PJs on her bed in her bedroom for me to change in after my shower. We always did this. It was my normal routine. Anyway, I entered my parents room after my shower and found both my mom and dad in there, usually its always just my mom.My dad pushed me against the corner of the bed, took off my towel, spread my legs open and started rubbing his penis against me (he had pants on) I remember feeling something hard, and I was unable to make out my dad’s emotion. I didn't know if I was in trouble and this was another way of punishment instead of the usual spanking I would get. I didn't know if he was mad, sad, happy, upset, angry. I couldn't make out what emotion my dad had when I looked at his face but he was breathing hard.My mom started crying and she started hitting him. He got off of me and put my mom and himself in the walk-in closet, closing the door behind them.I was disturbed. I put my PJs on and went into my room. Me and my sisters shared a queen-sized bed. I remember curling up in a hamper in sleeping in it because I didn't want my sisters to know what happened and I felt ashamed.
There are 4 steps to solve your problem: 1. Determine if she is ignoring you or not. Look for these signs:She's not talking to you as often or as much as usualShe finds reasons or excuses not to spend time with youShe acts like she does not want anything to do with youIf she shows some or all of the above signs then she is ignoring you. It may not be on purpose, so you should find out why she is doing this. 2. Get her attention. don't Call her, text her, etc until you have waited at least 3 days from hearing from her. otherwise you might just push her away faster. You need to let her know that you care but not right away. 3. Ask her if you said or did anything to cause her to be unhappy with you or the relationship. If she says "no" but still acts this way, then try ignoring her right back. It may sound crazy, but this will drive most girls insane. Don't be mean or hateful about it, just do to her what she is doing to you. 4. If she does not come running back to you, then you can assume that the relationship is over. Consider this a good thing in the long run. Any relationship that cannot survive for the short term is definitely missing something. There is probably someone more suited to you out there. And next time keep close to this rules: Goldfish . They work always! Wish you all the best
My friend is 12 and she wants to have sex!! plz help!?
first of all, please understand that there is not something incorrect with a 12-12 months-previous desirous to have intercourse or being involved in it. this is in no way an excellent thought for a 12-12 months-previous to truly have intercourse, even with the undeniable fact that it is common that they are questioning approximately it. yet as for something of what you suggested, I truthfully agree that oldsters would desire to seek advice from their young ones approximately intercourse way extra effective than they do. they might desire to recover from their embarrassment and understand that this is important that their young ones are knowledgeable.
A 4 month old baby cutting her first tooth already?
There really is no such thing as normal, just average. All babies achieve there goals at different ages. My first and second children started cutting their teeth at around 4 months each and by the time they were each a year old they had most of their teeth. My third child didn't cut his first two teeth until he was 7 months. He just turned 11 months and is just now cutting one of his top teeth, so even babies in the same families achieve these things at different ages.
Almost three months old.?
You are right when you say every baby is different. My baby girl did not lift her head (or enjoy tummy time for that matter) till she was 4 months old, but like your son, enjoyed being held upright and seemed to have good head control. The only thing you can do is not force him into anything, try everyday but dont make him lay there too long if he really isnt enjoying it. Just like every milestone, one day, he will just do it, and you just hope you can have the camera ready!!! Some ways to encourage him is to put a couple of toys around him, out of reach but still close enough for him to see them easily. And maybe you could lay parallel next to him and encourage him just to lay with his head to the side looking at you while you sing his favourite song or pull faces or amuse him in some way. Also make sure that the surface is quite hard (just a thin blanket or sheet on the ground is best), after all, could you imagine having no muscles, no idea whats going on and trying to lift your body out of a big pillow!!!! Good luck, and enjoy this special time!!
Please help at home with a 7 day old preemie baby and I dont know what to do and just want advice?
Wow, what a tough couple of weeks you've had! You must be so stressed and worried right now. You're not being an overprotective mom. It's normal and natural to want your baby close to you all the time. It's normal to worry when your baby had a rough start. And the last thing you need right now is someone telling you that you don't know how to parent. Your husband needs to tell his mother that her help is appreciated, but this is your husband and your baby so you both need her to trust your parenting. Sometimes having grandparent "help" at first, when you're still getting used to being a parent yourself, is just one more stress. Perhaps the grandparents could go home and come visit again in a couple of weeks after you and your husband get more comfortable with your new roles. Have you ever heard of a postpartum doula? These are women who's job it is to "mother the mother". You might consider hiring a doula for a few hours a day. She can help you with your baby (it's not her job to take over!) and help you feel secure enough to sleep, as well. The hospital where you delivered your baby will probably have some names of local doulas. Do you feel depressed? Are you having any thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby? I know that's terrible to think about, but postpartum depression is serious. Traumatic births (including a premature birth and a baby in the hospital) can put you at higher risk for depression. Not being able to sleep is a big red flag. Your doctor can help you, either by giving you a mild tranquilizer so you can sleep (which you desperately need), or by helping you decide if antidepressants will help you. Postpartum depression isn't something to ignore, it's nothing to be ashamed of, and it certainly doesn't mean you're not a good mother. Taking care of yourself is part of being a good mom!
My baby has a hole in her heart?
OK I can totally relate. About two years ago (age 24) I went to my doctor because I was getting headaches, during my check up they told me I have a heart murmur, I have never been told that before. I was then sent to have an EKG done on my heart, there they found out I have an Aortic septic defect, basically a hole in my heart. And that I was born with this, for some babies it does close up, and some it doesn't, like me. I was completely scared, i have never even heard of this before. They then told me it was benign and I can live a completely long healthy life. I went 24 years of my life not knowing about it and it never effected me. It still scares me sometimes to think about. That is why I try real hard to live a healthy life style and eat well. The doctors told me that can be easily fix by going threw a vein in my leg, a non-invasive procedure (not open heart, which I was very afraid of). I didn't get it done because the condition has never effected my life. I don't ever get winded, short breath, I am very healthy, and don't have high blood pressure or anything like that, and don't have to take any medication for it. I just had a baby 6 months ago. I do have to get my heart checked about every 5 years to make sure the condition is still benign, which it more and likely will be. It still scares me, but I did go threw 24 years of my life not even knowing about it or it even effecting me. I hoped I helped. Now that it is something you know about you and your LO can begin to live a healthy life style. Try to teach her to eat good foods, and excersize. It may just close up for her, it dose on a lot of babies, but if it doesn't at least she will have a healthy upbringing, which will only make not only her heart healthy, but everything. Bless you and your sweet little girl. OH yea, I also don't get headaches anymore!
