Give or not give to a baby ?

My baby is almost 2 months old. He was really spitting up a lot so his dr put him on Enfamil AR and he is doing really well on it. His spitting up is almost non existent. The problem he has now is his bowels are a bit dry and painful. He does go at least once a day and sometimes even more but only small amounts and like I said he really cries when he poos. I know he shouldn’t have any juices yet but I was wondering if maybe a half teaspoon or so of apple, pear, prune etc… in an ounce of water once a day would soften his bowels so it wouldn’t be so painful for him. I’ve done the karo syrup bit in his bottle but I don’t like giving that very often. I also wonder about the liquid glycerin suppository. I know it says not for kids under 2 but would it hurt to use just a little of it and not the whole dose. If anyone has been in my shoes and done any of these things, please tell me the results and maybe even give me some other ideas as to what to do. I just know he needs softer stool to get some relief. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Would these shoes match this dress?

I’m a fashion nightmare, so I need some help. I have this 1940sish looking dress. It’s of a filmy, off white material. I’m trying to find a pair of shoes to match, and I was looking for a pair of pink shoes since I usually stick to pastel colors. But, I found these shoes, and they had a nice classic look to them. But, I need someones opinion. They are bright red, and I just wasn’t sure if they would work together color wise. Here’s the shoes:

They have a retro flare, right? Will they go with an off white dress, if I get bright red accessories. Also, I always worry about red because I’m super white and freckly. Should I keep looking for pastels?

Do you think I'm trendy and I dress stylish?

did your baby wear right after it was born. what did it wear at the hospital? did you dress it up or just normal clothes to come home in. I’m having a baby and would like to get a general idea of the type of clothing i should have for the baby to wear for the first couple of weeks. i have some of those sac outfits with the open bottom but what else should i get and what should i bring to the hospital for the baby to come home in? do i need to bring a newborn outfit and a preemie outfit to see what will fit better? what did you dress them in for the hospital picture? does the hospital put them in an outfit right after they are born or do i need one for that too? thanks for your help this is my first baby.
i do know that the hospital does pictures of the babies dressed.
can i give the nurses an outfit to put the baby in after it is cleaned if i would like to?

More top tips What do you think of these?

CINEMA goers: Please have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by having a p*ss before the film starts.

RAPPERS: Avoid having to say ‘know what I’m sayin’ all the time by actually speaking clearly in the first place.

DON’T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements.

WORRIED that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Simply drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains.

SOLDIERS: Invest in a digital camera to avoid all that court martial tomfoolery after a trip to Truprint.

MURDERERS: Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again.

BURGLARS: When fleeing from the police, run with your right arm sticking out at 90?, wrapped in a baby mattress in case they set one of their dogs on you.

EMPLOYERS: Avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin.

MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire; then turn it down three nothes. This will save your wife from having to do it.

GAMBLERS: For a new gambling opportunity, try sending £50 to yourself by Royal Mail.

BANGING: two pistachio nutshells together gives the impression that a very small horse is approaching.

BLIND PEOPLE: Give yourself at least a chance of seeing something by not wearing heavy dark glasses all the time.

ALCOHOL: makes an ideal substitute for happiness.

DRIVERS: If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.

PREVENT burglars stealing everything in the house by simply moving everything in the house into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, simply move it all back again.

CAR thieves: Don’t be discouraged when nothing is on view. All the valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat.

DEPRESSED people: Instead of attempting suicide as a ‘cry for
help’,simply shout ‘Help!’ thus saving money on paracetamol, etc.

MOTORISTS: Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone whilst driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

JEREMY Beadle: When selling DVDs on your TV advert, hold the disks in your bigger hand so that they do not appear to be the size of laser disks.

SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.

SINGLE men: Convince people that you have a girlfriend by standing outside Etam with several bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping the egg into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60 mph. After 3 miles, phone your wife and tell her to take the egg out the pan.

ALCOHOLICS: don’t worry where the next drink is coming from. Go to the pub, where a large selection is available at retail prices.

McDONALD’S: Make your brown carrier bags green in colour so they blend in with the countryside after they’ve been thrown out of car windows.

WOMEN: Don’t waste energy faking orgasms. Most men couldn’t give a s**t anyway and you could use the saved energy to hoover the house afterwards.

I need advice on how to get punk rock clothes. I went to military surplus for combat boots but all they had?

was RUBBER boots. I ask "where do I get punk rock band patches from", and everyone told me to go to a crafts store. But when I went to the crafts store they just have little fuzzy duckies and letters of the alphabet in baby blue colors and religious stuff and that’s the only patches ANY of them have. All the fabric stores seem to have things geared toward old lady sweater-making and the people telling me to look in "craft stores" obviously have NO idea what they’re talking about.

I know its a biker jacket, but you can’t find PUNK ROCK patches in a harley-davidson store. So where DO you find punk rock patches?

I wanna look the way I wanna look cuz its the way that *I* wanna look for ME and I just wish I knew where all these other punk-rock-clothes-wearing people get their gear, like the spikes they wear and all that and those boots you can tuck your pants into.

I found spikes from Hot Topic (I HATE going there but I was DESPERATE, don’t tell me hot topic isn’t punk cuz they are the ONLY people who have spikes) and I got some spikes. So I dug into the biker jacket in a few places with poultry cutting shears because nothing else would work (The "hole punch" for leather jackets isn’t available ANYWHERE), and installed the spikes that way. Is there a less time-consuming way to do it though? Each single spike takes a good 2-10 minutes and I have to have a solid surface like a chair that will get gouged in the process.

I am having a baby girl and am due on January 17th… This is my 3rd child but i’ve never swelled like this before. My rings do not fit, my shoes don’t fit and my face is swollen. How long will it take for this to go away after I have my baby? Also, is this water retention contributing to my weight? I’ve been really careful about what i eat (no salt, lots of water, etc) YET i seem to be gaining quite a bit of weight lately. Im starting to get a little concerned. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone! This is all really great advice. I have an appt with the doctor this afternoon! Wish me luck :)
