what is the difference between newborn formula and the 6 month follow on formula?

bola snack asked:


I”m just wondering because i heard the newborn (step 1) formula was good to give your baby forever and you don’t need to progress to the 6 month formula. I’m just wondering if its easier to digest or has more nutrients than the 6 month formula? I’m trying to get my daughter to sleep through the night as she is 6.5 months old and think this might be the problem.

How long was your baby in newborn diapers?

Blake’s Mom asked:


I’ve been using the newborn diapers for 2 1/2 weeks now. It says on the package that it’s up to 10 lbs and then the size 1 diapers says 8 - 15 lbs. When can I start using the size 1 diapers? It’s just that I’ve got a lot of size 1 diapers and was just wondering how many more newborn diapers I’ll need to buy. My baby is probably about 7lbs 5 oz now.

How can I find help paying for child care for my newborn baby?

new mom asked:


I have heard of the child care council but they are not funding until July and I may not be chosen. Child care seems so expensive for a newborn. I don’t know how I’ll be able to do it and pay the bills. I wish I could stay home, but I would not be able to afford it. Is there any other help out there?

How do I get my newborn to fall asleep during the day?

rh2006 asked:


My newborn is seven weeks old, she does not sleep at all during the day. Maybe just a ten minute nap during the day THATS ALL. Then at night around 9ish or 10ish she goes to bed, she has always been a good sleeper at night. She sleeps a good four hours then I have to get up to feed. I only get up twice during the night to feed her. But why does she not nap during the day? She yawns all during the day, and she looks like she is closing her eyes but she is faking it. How do I get her to take at least a few naps instead of one or none at all??
