Bottle Feeding an Infant

Does anyone have any suggestions about getting an infant to take a bottle? My husband and I have been working with our newborn (twelve weeks old) for about 8 weeks now and she still won't take a bottle. She is a super light eater to begin with. She only nurses for a total of 9 or 10 minutes despite trying all sorts of things. We are trying to get her on a bottle so we can monitor the amount she's getting (we'd like her to gain more weight). My husband has tried switching bottles, feeding her while she's sleepy, changing positions while...

What Is the Best Monitor?

I have a 3 month old son who usually sleeps in a bassinet beside my bed. He has his own room and crib but has only slept in there once. Last night I got out the monitor which has night vision (we bought the most expensive one) put him in his bed and he went to sleep. Everything was perfect except that the monitor crackled and popped all night. So at 3am I went and got him just so I could turn off the monitor and get some sleep. Does anybody have a monitor that they just love and doesnt make so much noise?

Infant Sleeping in Parents' Bed

Quick question for moms out there who slept with their newborn/infant. What worked for you in terms of keeping baby safe while sleeping in your bed? Did you use an infant positioner? Did baby just lay next to you on top of your covers? I'm hoping for some advice on this. Also, how did you keep your baby warm/cool enough when sleeping with you? Thanks!

8 Week Old Infant Won't Sleep in Crib

My 8 week old baby will not sleep in his crib. I'm having the most problems with getting him down for naps as he wants to sleep in the Baby Bjorn or while lying on someone. Swaddling has helping some what at night but we don't want him swaddled all of the time. He does display some colicky behaviors but I think that he is also just over- tired due to not getting enough sleep during the day. I have a two year old and just cannot hold him all of the time. Any suggestions??
