Baby Will Not Take Pacifier

Hi, I am wondering if there are other mothers who have gone through the same situation as me - I am breastfeeding my 7 week old son, and he likes to get his comfort sucking from me. We have tried all of the available pacifiers on the market multiple times and he will not take any of them. We have tried dipping the tips of pacifiers in my milk, his A&D vitamins, and we can't get him to take them. Sometimes, he will take our pinky and suck on it. We introduced the bottle when he was 2 weeks old, since his pediatrician gave us OK and our...

Do Baby Vitamins (With Iron) Really Stain Their Teeth?

My 9-mo-old son has recently begun rejecting baby cereal. It's the age - he's trying out finger foods. He eats solids several times a day and is breastfed (with one formula bottle a day). I had previously been giving him Tri-Vi-Sol vitamins, because his pediatrician said breastfed infants need a Vit. D supplement. But since he stopped eating the iron-fortified infant cereal, I started giving him the Poly-Vi-Sol w/ Iron to make sure he's getting enough iron. But I just remembered having read somewhere that iron vitamin drops can stain...

Thanks for All Your Advice!!!

My 5.5 month old daughter has her first sickness--diarrhea since Friday. We took her to urgent care and they said it is probably rotavirus. I just wanted to know if anyone has any advice on how to get her to drink fluids--she hates anything other than her formula and she won't even drink that very much. I am currently giving her lactinex granules in her formula to help her stomach combat the virus (doctor told me to do this). Also, she has developed a pretty nasty diaper rash so any advice on curing and helping this would be appreciated...

Horrible Diaper Rash with Teething

Has anyone experienced terrible diaper rash when their baby was teething? My almost nine month old has a blistered bottom even though I change very often, allow her bottom to air out, and use copious amounts of desitin and butt paste. It seems to only appear when she is having teething pain.
