re: Four Month Olds

Quoting AubriesMom:" i dont breastfeed ( wasnt able) but i do co sleep some nights...i love waking up to my baby staring at me with her big blue eyes"

Yeah.. I love it too.. but I'm afraid my co-sleeping days are behind me. My son has bilateral clubbed feet. He's gone through casting and has been in braces for over 2 months. He's been rolling and kicking and now his joints are popping.. loudly. Both his knees and his ankles. It worries me.. I feel so alone in this. Doc keeps telling me it's normal.. but I've found a few online women who have kids that have gone through the same treatment and their kids joints never popped!! I feel so alone in this.. and I'm conflicted about the braces. :/ I really don't want to put them on him... but at the same time he needs them to keep his feet straight.

my boy is 4 1/2 months old and has been teething for about 2 months (he had an eruption cyst on his upper gums as well from about 1 month old) and his first tooth has cut through now  

hes such a good baby, has never had any problems with teething. no crying, no fussiness. just a wholeee lot of drooling and he likes to chew on his clothes and blankets lol.

oh sweetie im so sorry...if you feel something isnt right then tell the doctor...tell them you dont feel comfortable with it and dont feel its normal and see what can be done. i had braces to straighten out my feet when i was little too...i dont remember my mother told me about it

My little guy will be 4 months on Saturday. His gums feel bumpy & rough. Chewing on everything, drooling, fussy Hopefully we get a tooth soon!

Thanks!! Im glad you're doing well now  

Quoting Campos2:" Wow!! He did teeth early!!  "

yep...the first one just showed up one day no problems other than he was drooling a few days before...the second one wasnt quite that easy but it wasnt as bad as some stories i've heard

Quoting Campos2:" True.. lol but I breastfeed and co sleep so it makes it ALOT easier.. I'm just dreading when the teeth actually cut through. :/"

it sucks...little teeth hurt...i bf too and i've been bitten 2 times...he's getting better about it, now i'm just worried about when the top teeth come in

  My first 2 kids were the same.. but this one here is making it known. :p lol

I'll bet... last 2 times I stopped breastfeeding before the teeth came in.. but now I wanna make it to at least a year... 4 months down.. 8 to go.
