Q&A: Foods for after baby is born?

Question by Motivated: Foods for after baby is born?
What should I stock my refridgerator, cabinets, and freezer with for after we bring our new baby home from the hospital??? I know I probably won’t be up to cooking for a week or so. I need easy ideas that me or hubby can throw together during those first couple of stressful weeks.

Make casseroles and freeze them. That way, if mom and aunts bring dinners like they are supposed to you aren’t wasting a meal.
I made Lasagna, stuffed shells, meatballs(cooked completely and then frozen) and homemade soup.
We didn’t use them for weeks because everyone kept bringing food or sending baskets.
They really came in handy when my hubby went back to work and mom went home and I had to make dinner with 2 kids!

Answer by petersenmarilyn@sbcglobal.net
This is serious my little girl did this exactly a projectile vomiting you need to pick up the phone and call the doctor or emergency because what will happen is your baby will dehydrate himself also try water and see if he can keep that down if you are feeding him with a bottle check the holes if they have become enlarged your boy could be ingesting too much at one time.
CALL YOUR DOCTOR NOW

Question by : How long do you give a new baby formula a try before you switch?
My baby is 4 1/2 months old. He was born premature 6 1/2 weeks early. So his corrected age is 3 months old. He’s been taking breastmilk from a bottle from the day he was born. So he have no problem taking a bottle. I am getting a little tired from all the pumping. And I have a lot of breast milk in stock (3 months worth if my baby takes nothing but breastmilk) I am trying to transition him into half breast milk, half formula so my stocked breast milk can last longer (for another 6 months or so). We just started one formula brand recommended by his ped. I gave my baby 1:3 ratio of 1 part formula to 3 parts breast milk. First day he did ok in the morning. Then he started to fuss more in the afternoon, but still takes the mixed milk ok. By night he threw up almost all the milk he takes in. My question is: How long should I give this brand of formula a try before I start on another? And should I be adding in the formula slower than what I’m doing? Like give him a mixed milk only once a day for a few days then 2 bottles a day for a few day and so forth. I fed him mixed milk on all the feedings today, so I’m not sure if it’s too fast even if it’s 1:3 ratio?

I think the ratio and the amount you are giving is adequate. It can take up to 2 weeks for new formula to be in the system (for a lack of better words). If he’s still getting sick Thursday, I’d definitely call the dr.

Question by davidneekmaster: Anybody have some suggestions for ideas on a color schemes for newborn baby rooms?
I’m trying to stay away from the ones that look like someone threw up all over the room. Something subtle, nice, and let’s you know that it is a baby’s room.
