1. See the doctor.\n2. Change the formula.\n3. Don't give any strange substances to a small baby without first consulting with a health professional.

Please contact a pediatrician before giving your baby a supplement whether natural or chemical.  A baby's brain is developing more in the first 3 years than the entire rest of their lives, I would hate to see someone give a child something they were not ready to handle.

We just potty trained our 3 1/2 yewar old. He's our middle child. We thought he'd never be ready. Summer is a great time. first I bought him new underwear that he picked out, and after his firt morning diaper I put them on. And told him " good bye diapers " which he repaets all the time. Then we started sitting him on the toilet, ( with a training seat on it from walmart)  we have a selection of books he like sitting there by the toilet, we hand him one, and say "OK, if you make a poop go in the water , we'll wash out hands and have a popsicle ! " It took about 2 weeks of this exact method, and he poops there every time now, and sometimes just tried in hopes of a popsicle. We buy those cheep Koolaid popsicles in the long plastic tubes . Works great , we have to pick up a box every time, I think you could bribe with something sugar free if needed., Also\n( and some people may think this is cruel )  I told him to change himself one day so he could see what he has been doing in there ! my husband and I took the bathroom rug out, and stood close by with wipes at the ready, he took his diaper off and said ' OH NO I POO POO ! UCKY ! I could see then it was starting to click thus we explained why he needed to get the poop into the pot!

Well, at three years old, she should be off the bottle.  Try switching her to a sippy cup, and I think that you will find that the fewer bottles she has, the more she will be willing to eat.  Being on the bottle at her age can damage her teeth.  Just be positive with her, "I think you're ready to be a big girl now, aren't you?  But, big girls don't drink from bottles.  They drink from cups."  And show her other ways to be a big girl, like maybe teaching her to write her name, reading, having her own chores, etc.  Make it something fun for her.  (BTW, I know chores don't sound like fun, but toddlers like helping, especially if the job isn't to difficult for them.)

if she is not eating you should take her to the doctor! babies need to eat, and they certainly should not be "lean". your child is not getting enough nutritien, so she needs to be taken to the hospital.

I would take the baby and run and get rich off of a future telling 3 month old that can talk clearly.  That way you wouldn't have to ponder weather it's a truth telling baby or a lying baby!

Depends on the age of the child.  newborn I would day no.  My son spat his out when he was 6 months old and never wanted it back... I guess I was fortunate. There is nothing worse than seeing a child of 3ish walking around with a soother in it's mouth.

Take her to a Children's Hospital ASAP.\nThis happened to my little cousin.  He hadn't had a bowel movement in about a week, and they took him to a hospital and the DR said it would pass.  So a few hours later they took him to Children's and they said that if they would have waited any longer he would have literally burst.  They are now in the process of suing the first hospital.  I hope this doesn't scare you, but prompts you to go to a good hospital and quickly.

Some babies have problems digesting milk. Depending on the age of your baby, I would recommend soy milk or goat's milk. Goat's milk is very easy for the baby to digest. I have seen it in grocery stores in powder form.

Do not give an infant honey or corn syrup\nbecause of the risk of infant botulism. Corn\nsyrup is often given to infants to treat constipation,\nbut this is not recommended because the corn syrup may contain botulinum spores which\ncan lead to infant botulism, a deadly type of food\npoisoning. Yes, this is an "old wives tale" remedy and sometimes works, but is dangerous and bad for the body! Is your baby formula fed? See if she might be allergic to the formula- or she/he may need a no-iron formula- onlt switch with the permission of a pediatrition. Breastmilk is always best- it's not too late to nurse if you're interested!! (www.lalecheleague.org) If not, you should see *why* she's not having regular bowel movements before you try to make her have them. Every baby has their own pattern- it may just be your baby's. Good Luck!

Some say that formula can be hard for some babies to digest.  We used Hergenberger Goat's Milk instead with great results.  It comes in a powder from Whole Foods in our area.  We would make the milk regular strength and then dilute it by half (50% warm water, 50% full strength goats milk)for new born and then 25%/75% at about a year and full strength at about 2 years.\n\nI understand that when it is hard to digest, the baby's system wants to shut down and sleep (like adults after eating too much) and that could be why he won't stay awake long enough to eat more.  \n\nAlso the Goat's Milk has no aluminum in it as some formulas do - like many processed, powerdery foods do to keep it from clumping.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a pediatrician.\nHowever, I am a a mother of two young girls and have started them on baby food (usually just rice cereal) between 4-6 months. give the baby a try and if they seem to enjoy it and can handle the function of eating (since they've been used to just swallowing liquid) then continue.\n\nif you're adventurous, you can make your own rice and blend it smooth. but for a baby at 4-6 months, start with the store bought boxes, which come in flakes.\n\ngood luck!

Go easy on the food. Find something that you like to eat but that is really light.\n\nJello\n\nTea-(chamomille, ginger, peppermint...)\n\nSoup-chicken noodle works wonders (don't eat anything creamy)\n\nDRINK WATER!! yet slowly, it helps wash out your insides\n\nGINGER!!! anything with ginger...ginger ale, ginger cubes, ginger root. just don't go heavy on it keep it light and at intervals\n\nGatorade- it has electrolytse which are helpful for digestion and many body functions.\n\nAvoid milk, alchohol, and acidy things like orange juice, tomatoe juice.\n\nReintroduce food slowly with toast and honey for breakfast, or pieces of fruit. I know this sound ridiculous but baby food is the best since it is produced to be simple for a babies sensative taste and digestion process.\n\nREST!! no tv, not a lot of reading, sleep all the way!!! :)\n\nIf your vommitting consitently avoid cold drinks\nKeep your food light and basic. It cannot be very complicated and elaborate it must be simple and yes strong in water, because it is going to take a while for your stomach to be able to digest any carbs, fats, or protiens. \n\nThese really help.\nAlso go to http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/vomit.html\nit helps.

My grandson started pre-school 1 month before his 3rd birthday. He was not toilet trained, despite intensive efforts at home.\n When he saw the other boys all running in to use the toilet, he finally decided that was for him too!!\n I wouldn't worry too much if he has no other learning difficulties. Perhaps get him off to pre-school!!!

At 9 months old pretty much all the medication is labeled as "consult doctor first".  Not until after 2 should you really start following label directions without a doctor's advice.\n\nSo my advice would be make an appointment with her pediatrician for as early as you can today.\n\nOther than that keep her warm but not over bundled.  Use layers.  Offer her lots of liquids, extra juice and water.  Run a humidifier if you can.

Never force a 4-month baby to stand. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your 4-month baby's legs. I always bring mine (now 13 months) to the baby's hospital for routine CHECK-UP EVERY MONTH without fail.\n\n4-month baby cannot ingest solid food yet; mine loved the little jars of Heinz, Berbers range of baby food for that specific age group. Of course these are supplemented by everyday feeds on baby's milk formula. Always listen to doctors' advice at the baby's hospital.
