She’s 7 months old and probably very soon she will be able to pull herself up. Checked the instructions w/ the crib and if you lower the mattress you have to remove the front rail b/c it turns into a bed then. Well I can’t do that so is there anything I could put over the crib to insure her saftey? Like how the have baby nets and such even tho a net won’t work lol is there anything out there to help this problem or will I have to just buy something else? It’s a simplicity crib if that matters.

After your little one was too big for the changing table where did you change his/her diaper? My son is moving WAY to much to be up on the changing table and he is flipping onto his yummy while I am trying to change him. I have seen people change the diapers on the bed and just keep a basket of diapers in the room. What do you do?
He is 7 months :)

Im 7 months pregnant.
My baby already has more outfits then he could even wear, but everyone wants to get him that. How do I ask for things other than clothes? Did you have this problem?
Whats appropriate to ask for?
I could use diapers, but people find that a boring gift to give.
Is it normal to want to throw your own shower?
What was your shower like, what did your baby get?
Fun games/activities/recipes?

My son is 7 months and is about 2 weeks into stage 2 foods. He has 5 6-ounce bottles per day, and eats a tub of fruits in the late morning, and a tub of veggies in the early evening. I tried giving him 3 meals a day this past weekend, but he didn’t do too well. What age did you start your babies eating 3 meals per day?

When my baby girl was 6 1/2 months she got a tiny pimple under her right eye, like 2 days later she had 2 tiny pimples, them it spread to her eyelid but it was not bad, like some type of allergy. Then it spread to her other eye. Still, it was nothing to freak out about, we thought it would go away. At 7 months she started teething and got a runny nose, we thought it could be a cold but she did not have any other symptoms, she was like that for a week, then the weekend she was fine, she then got a runny nose again on Monday for another week and her nose became very dry after that. Since she was teething she was drooling a lot and she got a rash on her chin. Her nose got better but was really dry around. Then the rash on her chin spread to the sides of her mouth and now is spreading around her whole face. Its is a rash like when you get from the heat. Now she is 8 1/2 months and her chin has become dry, as well as on top of her upper lip and the sides of her nose, she has the rash in her eyes and it is spreading all over, she has it in her cheeks, and the texture os her skin is changing. We have taken her to the pediatrician twice already, He gave her allegra for a week, nothing happened, neosporin, and nothing happened. Today she prescribed her with antibiotics, a cream for the chin and around her mouth and oral for the yes I assume. We will be giving it to her for 2 weeks, but I am still worried, since the doctor could not tell us what it is and it keeps spreading and getting worse. Today she woke up with her eyes swollen and red around her eyes, and the allergy on her face was worse, sometimes her eyes seems itchy but like I said she does not have any other symptoms and she does not complain at all.
The doctor prescribed her Hydroxyzine (2ML twice daily for 2 weeks) and Nystantin/Triamcinolone cream twice daily for 2 weeks as well. She also has somewhat of a purplish color under her eyes.

My son has had diaper rashes since he was 7 months old off and on. He is now 1 and a half. I have tried triple cream, stuff at the store, and even behind the counter cream. Some have worked but only for that time of rash, then when he has it again it does not work. Oatmeal, baking soda, and neosporten I have tried too. I’m so stressed out from finding the answer. Please HELP!

Infant Clothes Sizing…?

So this is more of a funny comment than a question…It amazes me, the sizing of baby clothes can be SO different depending on brands etc. I swear the people that do the sizing for infant clothes companies have NEVER had children before. I have a 7 month old daughter, and yes I realize that some children are larger or smaller for their age than "average" but come on…I went to the store to buy some onsies for my little one and I found somethat were 0-6 months….and 3-9 months. ARE YOU KIDDING?? My daughter was not even close to being able to wear the same size onsie when she was 3 months to now at 7 months. I have found that Carter’s brand has been most accurate. Anyone else have comments about this? I would LOVE to hear!
