Question 1

i have two girls,want to get a boybaby for the balance of the fmly.please suggest to choose the gender boy?thanks

Accepted Answer

Sorry...: There is no way with natural means of getting pregnant that you can chose the gender of the baby. I'd advise if you are trying to get pregnant that you first come to terms and be happy about having a 3rd baby REGARDLESS of whether it is a boy or girl (you have a 50-50 chance of either). For a guaranteed gender, consider adoption.

Question 2

what can i feed my six-month-old breastfed baby?

Accepted Answer

Food introduction: The general recommendation for food introduction in infants is rice cereal at 4 months, vegetables at 5 months, fruits and fruit juices at 6 months, finger foods &amp; meats at 9 months.  A three meal two snack schedule is the usual goal, but adapting this schedule to your family's normal routine should be fine as long as your baby is comfortable and gaining weight appropriately.

Question 3

are baby warts serious on a 10 month old baby?

Accepted Answer

Reply: Wart is usually a benign viral infection of the skin. Treatment varies with the part of body that has the warts. Usually in young infants observation is first choice.

Question 4

can i give my baby baby food at 2 1/2months?

Accepted Answer

Hold off: -you may begin to give solid foods to your baby when he or she is 4 to 6 months old. At first, give foods that are smooth, easy to digest, and part fluid, such as rice cereal.
-use a baby spoon or a small spoon to feed your baby. Begin with one or two teaspoons of cereal mixed with breast milk or lukewarm formula. Your baby’s stools will become firmer after starting solid foods.
-no honey.

Question 5

is my unborn baby protected from cmv?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: The most burdensome problems with CMV occur when a mom gets infected during pregnancy & the virus gets into the baby during the blood phase of mom's illness. If mom had it as a child, she likely has protective antibodies that will prevent this from occurring.If tests prior to pregnancy show you cmv+, then its unlikely your kid will get it.If cmv-, avoid exposures to little kids that could have it.

Question 6

i m 34 wks pregnany, my babu fhr 134beats so plz halp my baby gender?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: There is no certain correlation between fetal heart rate and gender of infant, sorry.  It is a 50/50 chance.

Question 7

did my baby get sick from breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

No: Infections acquired from breast feeding are uncommon but not impossible. More likely, especially if by illness you mean a "cold" or vomiting or diarrhea illness, the illness was spread to the infant by hands or respiratory secretions during a cough or sneeze.

Question 8

should i wean my toddler before my new baby is born?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I am absolutely in favor of breast feeding for every mother and new infant.  I also think it is fine if a mother decides to breast feed as long as possible.  We had six children and my wife breast fed them all for a total of 132 months.  However when a mother is pregnant and about to deliver and is considering breast feeding her new infant, i think the nutrition priority is the newborn infant.

Question 9

at 15weeks pregnant is my baby now feeding on placenta?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: The fetus does not feed on the placenta but is sort of fed by the placenta. The placenta supplies vital nutrients to the baby but is not consumed in the process.

Question 10

are chickin pocs air born?

Accepted Answer

Viral contact: The virus is spread by direct contact.  Droplet spread if coughing or sneezing, nasal discharge or cough with sputum, scabs from sores can spread the virus.
