What do you do if your baby won't let you reposition his head?
Its perfectly normal for this to happen now that everyone put their babies on their backs to sleep, and it will correct itself over time don't stress yourself out over the whole situation. If he won't let you reposition his head while he's sleeping then just make sure that he spends lots of his alert, awake time on his belly, like you said. And if he's in a swing or bouncie chair you could use a receiving blanket rolled up put it behind his shoulders and then there won't be any pressure on his head. But I would give up trying to reposition his head while he's sleeping, & don't worry you won't have a kindergarten-er with a flat head. :)
My husband won't help me with our newborn baby...what should I do?
My newborn is 2 months old now and I had the same problem with my husband (including the video games!) It was certainly annoying as we already have children (this is my fourth and his second) and I remember him being more helpful before. Finally one day I told him we needed to sit down and talk because it was stressing me out. And yes, I deserved help since I never get to leave work! There is no reason he can't help out a bit. This is what he said to me. Mostly he didn't help out because he didn't really know what to do and didn't want to do something wrong. (Keep in mind he is a man and for whatever reason they don't have the natural instinct we do to pick up a baby when they are crying and FIX IT) It wasn't that he wanted to play games instead of help or really that he was tired after work (although I got that excuse a lot) It all came down to ---I don't know how. So we sat down and I did a little baby 101 with him and now he helps out more often. If you can't have this kind of conversatoin with your husband, then you might want to reconsider your marriage.. this is only the first hurdle and won't be your last. And by the way.. The huffing and puffing NEVER goes away. Mine still does it but I don't care. And sometimes the huffing and puffing is in our minds and not intentional. I've just learned to ignore it. Give him a little daddy confidence and he should shape right up

Do you ever worry your baby won't be cute?
Somewhat. I don't feel I'm just ugly and neither is my husband. But let's just say we both have features that I hope we don't pass on to our baby. I think I have a big nose but most people tell me it's a regular size. My husband has elfish looking ears, especially one of them, which seems to be extra pointed at the top. I also feel I have a huge head and again, most people tell me it's a regular size. I am also worried about it not having hair if it's a girl. I have plenty of thick hair but I am afraid I am going to have this big bald-headed baby! But either way, I am going to love my baby ugly or cute. But I would be lying if I said I never think about those things.
Nursing baby won't take bottle?
My daughter is 1 month old. She has been breast feed the entire time except the days spent at the hospital. I'm going back to work soon, and I am trying to get her to drink from a bottle. She won't give sometimes she may drink a ounce of milk other times she won't drink at all. I don't know if its the bottle or the nipple. I have the playtex wide shape bottle but the nipple is a fast flow I'm not sure if I should give it to her. What can I do so she can get used to the bottle? And in the meantime what can I do about my breasts leaking while at work?
What do you do when your baby drops its pacifier (dummy) on the floor?
If there is a sink nearby, I just rinse it off a bit and give it back to the baby. Exposure to germs is good for babies! The more pathogens babies and children get exposed to, the stronger their immune systems will be!If I am out and about, and the pacifier rolls on the ground, I’ll either give it right back or spit on it and rub it a bit (apparently our spit contains organisms that eliminate some microorganisms) before handing it back to the baby.If you’re a germaphobe and the idea of giving the binky back to baby without properly disinfecting it makes you wince, you can use these pacifier wipes: Munchkin Arm & Hammer Pacifier Wipes (4 Packs of 36 wipes each)

My nine month-old baby won't eat his food, what should I do?
My nine- month-old baby won't eat his food, what should I do? He has been breastfed since birth. Some supplements like baby cereal, fruit and pumpkin have been added to his meal since his seventh month. Now he seems to have lost his interest in these foods, he eats very little of them. …DO NOT PANIC. Your baby WILL NOT STARVE HIMSELF.Consult your doctor or the well-baby clinic, asking how to encourage your baby to accept the supplemental foods that it is normal for him to accept.You should understand that your baby LIKES to be breastfed and prefers the mothers’ milk. He does not want to change his diet, and this is a normal behavior.Ask the medical professional if it would be helpful to nurse the baby less than baby would like, so that his hunger will encourage him to take other foods.Also, you might ask if the introduction of supplemental foods was too rapid or too early, and if so, whether it would be helpful to start over and do this more slowly.
My baby won't stop crying...what might be the problem??
ongoing and inconsolable crying is usually called colic. When nothing seems to work, take her to the doctor/child health nurse for a checkup and discuss how you can manage the situation. Sometimes it could be a reaction to the formula or something you are eating that is coming through your breastmilk. Just stay calm, put her down in the crib and walk out for 10 mins if you can't handle it anymore. Take a few deep breaths and have a cool drink and then go back in to her. Bubs will pick up on your anxiousness so stay as calm as possible and book in to the nurse for a talk. best of luck
