Viral Infection- Rash

Ds2 6 months old had what looked like hives or a slew of bites on his arms and legs. We had his 6 month well visit and innoculations yesterday. Fearing an adverse reaction, I took him to the ped who gave a diagnosis of a viral infection presenting as a rash. I've never seen this before. She suggested cortisone cream and Tylenol, and to keep an eye on it. He doesn't seem too bothered, but it looks awful. Any thoughts or suggestions? Any ideas on how to bring down the welts? He isn't otherwise sick. Regards F. B.

I also heard of putting meat in them? Ew..what kind? Do your babies like this product? Thanks!

Infant Autism Signs

I have a beautiful 5 week old daughter. The only problem I am having with her is that she does not respond we talk to her or call her name. She looks at us all of the time and I know that she hears well because she becomes startled. She just won't turn her head toward us when we try to get her attention. I looked up on the internet and found that this could be a very early detection sign of autism. My husband thinks that I am over reacting and that she is just fine. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Plastic Bottles and Sippy Cups a No No??

Hi, A good friend of mine just told me that all plastic bottles, and sippy cups are no good for your baby. That the only good kind is "Born Free" or glass bottles. Also, that major brands have been banned in Canada? Anyone else no anything about this? This is the first I've heard of it. Apparently the plastic bottles are being attributed to cancer?? Any insight on this topic and it's relevance would be greatly appreciated. I have a little girl who is exclusively breast fed for the most part, BUT when she is left home with Daddy...

11 Month Old's Decrease in Fluid Intake and Constipation

Once again, I am tapping into the collective knowledge and experience of this awesome group! My 11 month old girl is not taking in as much fluid as she used to and is constipated. She used to take about 14 ounces of formula a day, plus what I mixed in with her and her twin brother's cereal. I also offer water in a sippy cup, which she only takes a couple sips of. Lately, her formula intake has declined to about 8 to 10 ounces a day. She is having at least 1 BM a day, but she cries/wails when she does it. It is a lot firmer than her...

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...

Bad Thoughts in Back of Mind Regarding Amnio Results

Ok so here is my problem. When I was about 16 weeks pregnant, I had quad screen results saying I had a 1:18 chance of having a baby with Downs. I had a second quad screening done with more abnormal results also. Long story short, I had an amnio done and the results came back normal. I still can't help to think that my baby will come out with something wrong. Im due in early December and keep worrying about this. Anyone know how accurate amnios are or have any similar experiences?

Cause nothing has been easier with this pregnancy... and how was your experience with being positive for GBS? I need IV antibiotics when i get to the hospital, so I am stressed about getting there with enough time to prep everything. My active labor with first...
