Air Travel Requirements and Baby Snacks

I am getting ready to take my 13 month old to Florida tomorrow. When looking at security requirements, I am worried about making sure my son has something healthy to drink. It looks like I can't bring juice from home because it comes in larger than 3oz containers. Has anyone tried? Could I put 3 oz in a cup and have my hubby put another 3 oz and we take it through security that way? Or if we try to buy something after the checkpoint, do they sell 100% fruit juice back there? Or even whole milk? It seems like everywhere I have seen...

Cloth Diapering-- Are Liners Necessary?

Are diaper liners necessary when using prefolds w/ diaper covers? AND-- when venturing out on the town, what do you do with the dirty cloth diapers-- rinse them in the public restroom and then carry them with you in a separate bag? Do they smell?

Infant with Gas

My 2 month old son has been suffering from long periods of excessive gas--especially in the evenings. It's severe enough that it keeps him from going to sleep and repeatedly wakes him (often partially, sometimes completely). It has interfered with nursing on a couple of occasions--he was "starving" (as all babies are when hungry ^_^), but had to disengage to pass gas so frequently that he couldn't nurse! The gas is obviously painful--he starts screaming as he feels it coming and really strains to pass it and sometimes screams even more...

Cure for Excessive Spit-up in Infant

I have a 4 month old baby boy who has been excessively spitting up his formula since he was 1 month old. His pediatrician has already changed his formula. He started on the Similac advance (blue), and then was changed to the Similac Soy. It seems that his spitting up has gotten worse with the soy, and the spitting up comes out curddled. He's now really gassy, even though we give him mylecon drops. We've also tried all types of new bottles, and burping him every so often during each feeding. However, none of this seems to work. He even spits...

Baby Has a cold...help

Hello beautiful moms! So here's the thing: My 8 month old daughter was running a fever early this past week. It was over 102 at some points. It lasted about a day & a half and the fever is now gone. Just after the fever went away, we got a stuffy nose and have now developed a cough. In addition, her stuffy nose has become a runny nose with "extras" (messy sneezes). We have tried doing the Little Noses to clean her nose out but it doesn't help. Doctors can't/won't recommend ANYTHING for a baby this age to take to help with this. ...

Gerber Baby Food Plastic Containers

With all the news coverage about concerns over plastics I've started checking the recycling codes on all the stuff our son uses. I noticed over the weekend that Gerber Baby food comes in plastic with a recycle code of 7 - which has been reported to contain BPA. I've emailed the company and for the time being have switched to brands (Earth's Best) that come in glass containers - but really miss the variety that Gerber offered. Any advice on making baby food at home or resources that explain how to make baby food? I'm pretty short on time...
