Getting Baby to Sleep

I am a single mom of a 6 1/2 month old baby and my baby started sleeping all night at 4 wks old and then all of a sudden a couple of months ago he started going backwards and waking up several times in the middle of the night and not being able to fall asleep on his own. The only way i can get him to go to sleep is by rocking him and now sometimes he fights me and his sleep, It takes me up to 2-4 hrs before i can get him to sleep. Please Help

Baby Skin Problem

I took my 6week old to the doctors and was told she has baby acne, she also had a rash at the back of her neck, I was told to buy Hydrocortisone 1% and use, if her face got bad I could use a little on her cheeks which I did, now I think her cheeks and face looks worse than ever, her neck did clear up.

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.
