Eating issues top the list of stresses in a lot of parents of 3 year olds.  A child will NOT starve themselves, so start by making food a "non-issue"  Offer her food, if she doesn't eat, put it away and offer it again later.  Don't beg, plead or bribe her to eat.  Stick with healthy foods in a variety of textures, colors, shapes and from all food groups.  She will not likely sit still long for meal times, so offer small meals throughout the day.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 snacks are appropriate for her age and health concerns.  Keep the portion sizes small.  If she is drinking a lot of juice, even if it is diluted with water, it contains enough sugar to make a small body think they aren't hungry.  A small amount of juice diluted with water served at one snack per day is plenty.  Stick with water and milk, which should probably be whole milk based on her need for calorie intake.  Avoid the empty calorie foods like chips and cookies.  Ice cream in small amounts, again as part of a snack or meal, can help with calcium intake.  I would suggest starting the day by serving breakfast, let her eat what she wants.  Then remove the food and let her play.  When she asks for something to eat, offer her a small plate of healthy bite size snacks such as string cheese cut into pieces, grapes cut in 1/2, mini Ritz crackers (whole wheat is good for her).  If she won't eat that, let it sit on the table and when she is hungry she will.  It is so tempting and normal to bribe her to eat with promises of sweet treats, but that is only developing some bad eating habits for her.  Experiment with veggies in a variety of ways such as carrots can be raw, steamed, or stir fried.  Her doctor should be made aware of her poor eating and may want to examine her to rule out any type of illness and may recommend a supplement such as pedia-sure, but most kids do not need that.  A nutritionist can also be consulted who can help design a meal plan specifically geared to help with weight gain.

If you have a 2month old w/him & 2 other children in the house & he still acts like that yelling & what not then you need to decide what is more important. Your kids or him  Apparently you know what is the most important or you would have not quit drinking YOUR KIDS ARE YOUR LIFE. They are you miracles your gifts from GOD. You need to take care of them before you worry about a loser who obviously doesn't care about you, his baby, or himself. Things change tremendously when you have kids either he doesn't have any other children or this is his 1st or he is a dead beat dad whatever the reason he still needs to grow up.

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.

You can start out by breast feading him still and then finishing the session with a bottle.  It's going to take a few tries for him to get used to but eventually he will take to it and he will even prefer the bottle after awhile.  Good luck.

The American Academy of Pediatrics actually states that "until your baby starts eating solid foods, he'll get all the water he needs from breastmilk or formula."\n\nAfter they are six months old, infants do begin to need some fluoride, and so that is a good time to introduce some extra water into their diet, especially if they are breastfeeding, or simply prepare their iron fortified infant formula with fluoridated tap water.\nBut before six months, the average healthy baby doesn't need any extra water.

Depends on who you ask. If you ask your dr. he'll say yes. If you ask parents who educate themselves on this issue, we'll say NO. It is much safer, if you do them at all, to ask your dr. to give your baby only a couple at a time. It means more injections for the baby, but it's less taxing on the immune system. Some kids have no problems with this. Thing is, when you go into the dr. to get the shots, you have no idea if your baby's immune system is low at that time. If for some reason it is, and you overload him/her with live viruses, it can be really hard for the immune system to react. This CAN cause the body to not be able to learn to fight the diseases, which is how immunizations work, and therefore the baby can get extremely sick from this. They can either develop the disease your trying to prevent or they can develop devastating consequences. I lost a baby cousin within 24 hours of receiving whatever it is they give at four months. It was written off as SIDS, because they are not required to do a toxocology report on an infant when it dies. I know of another baby personally that this happened to,also. I don't immunize my kids. I feel we live in a day and age that it's just not necessary. But that's my opinion. For people who insist on doing it, my plea is that you have it broken down into smaller amounts, or that you wait until the baby is older and their immune system has had a chance to develop some more. We worry about how their lungs will be developed when born, can they hear, are they turning over on time, but nobody seems to question the development of the immune system. And that's the one thing we can't really know about without testing them each time they get their shots.

I believe this is natures way to get fresh air into the baby's lungs.  Also why doctors have been known to "spank the baby" to get it to cry.  Obviously, the baby has been drinking, eating, and "breathing" through the umbilical cord for the past 9 months and a breath of fresh air is just about the best thing for him/her.

It would be best for you to ingest the Dha rich cod liver oil, and continue breast feeding. Nothing could be more important to the health of your baby than to receive breast milk until its birth weight is tripled. This is the way of all mammals. Infant formulas with Soy and Dairy are so incredibly toxic, that you might not want to find out what would happen if you make that change. Colic symptoms are only the beginning of a lifetime of immunosuppression, and related maladies.  Breast Milk is very high in DHA, and if you don't replenish while feeding, your brain will suffer....as will other organ systems, e.g. joints, skin, etc.

He won't get custody, don't worry about that.  But make sure you have a good lawyer, you don't want to go in there without legal representation.  Make sure he doesn't get any overnight visitation if you can.  The baby is 3 months old and shouldn't be away from you very long at all.  Supervised visitation would be your best bet, I would push for that since he does drugs.

depends on how long you want to keep him around.  If less than 3 weeks sleep w/ him tonight.  If longer than that, set him up in the spare.

Depends on the age really..if you can handle something like Pedialyte (for kids really) then that's good for you.  Typically I sip 7up or Sprite and eat crackers, very few crackers..slowly.
