Sleeping problems with my 3 month old baby girl.

delaney36 @delaney36 (817) • Philippines 11 Apr 07

I wonder why my baby doesn't sleep straight at night? She sleeps soundly for about an hour and wake-up crying. She can only sleep long hours if you hold her in your arms. Why is that? Do you experience the same problems?

mamatoabri I think that the last post mentioned most things. Don't forget baby detergent (like baby all, Dreft, etc) and shout (it worked wonders on my baby's stains). You'll also need sunblock if you plan on going outside at all, because your baby's skin is very...

mamatoabri I do not agree with you.. it looks like you want approval for killing an innocent baby, and I don't think you are going to get it here. I got pregnant when I was 18. Do you think that I thought that I was ready?? NO WAY. But I was not going to kill my baby....

mamatoabri Look at the topic.. he has the right to say that the guy is a murderer.. simply.. because he is. Some of us take life for granted much more than others. And-- its not like the guy who posted didnt call himself a murderer. We're all adults people..

mamatoabri I love breastfeeding, its probably one of the best choices I've made. Breastfeeding is a learning process, but its well worth it. You know about all of the benefits- not only to the baby but you as well. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of developing certain...

Birthweight of your baby

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 22 Jan 07

My baby weighed 7.8 pounds at birth. I believe that's in the big category. Some of my friends had baby's that were in the small sized category, weighing as small as 5 pounds. I guess my baby is big because I also gained a lot of...

mamatoabri I would say that 7.8 is average. My daughter was a little on the small side-- she was 6.6 and was in the 10%. I gained 45 pounds and have lost 25 but still have some more weight to go.

What birthweight is considered a Premie?

Baby.

birthweight

1 response

mamatoabri "Premie" refers to a baby born before 36 weeks. Generally, preemie clothing is for babies under 5 pounds and less that 18 inches? My daughter weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces and fit in preemie clothing but she was 19 inches and too long. Hope this helps!
