Im only 14 yrs old and my parents are gone by gone i mean dead.. I shouldnt have said this but i really need the help/advice. Should i give my baby up for adoption? Idk maybe ill regret it:(
Answer
First off..
You should always carry food with you, whenever the baby is by your side.
feed it in the morning, (6-8am) then give it a snack (9-11am) then lunch (12pm-2pm) then a snack (3pm-5pm) then dinner (5:30pm-7:30pm) and a snack before bed.
make sure you let it nap when it needs to,
and whenever it's crying, pull out that bottle! it might be hungry again!
washing a baby is a little more difficult. you don't want warm water, remember, warm water to you may be HOT to the baby, i remember it being HOT when I would shower with my mom when I was a young boy and it was barely warm to her.
but you also don't want it to be cold! so just have it kinda right in the middle. fill up the tub 75% warm and 25% cool. OR if he/she is small enough, you could always wash him/her in the sink, I remember having to do so.
and adoption may be an option.
you ARE only 14. I do believe you need parent consent though. or legal guardianship's consent. so whoever you are living with, or whoever is taking care of you needs to find out the legal process of doing this.
take care, I wish you the best.
OOPS! Wait!
I just did a little research and DO NOT put your baby in a tub or even a sink of water.
Sponge bathe him which means, put him on a blanket or towel, get a sponge and just wash him with the sponge and water.
also If he cries, it also may be the diaper! sometimes feeding on a schedule isn't what to do, but try it as well! if the diaper isn't wet or filled, try feeding him, rocking him, reading to him!
again,
good luck!

What is baby Colic? ?
I know it makes babies fussy but what actually is it what are the signs how do you get rid of it?
Answer
DefinitionAll babies cry. But some babies cry more than others do. And a few babies â although they're healthy, well-fed and well cared for â seem to cry inconsolably. If your baby cries about the same time each day and nothing you do seems to comfort him or her, your baby may have colic.
Colic is often defined as crying more than three hours a day, three days a week for more than three weeks in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby. This frustrating and largely unexplained condition usually starts a few weeks after birth and often improves by age 3 months.
Colic can be distressing for both you and your baby. But take comfort in the fact that it's not permanent. In fact, in a matter of weeks or months â when your baby is happier and sleeping better â you'll have weathered one of the first major challenges of parenthood
Symptoms
A fussy baby doesn't necessarily have colic. In an otherwise healthy, well-fed baby, signs of colic include:
Predictable crying episodes. A baby who has colic often cries about the same time every day, usually in the late afternoon or evening. Colic episodes may last anywhere from a few minutes to three hours or more on any given day. The crying usually begins suddenly and for no clear reason. Your baby may have a bowel movement or pass gas near the end of the colic episode. Intense or inconsolable crying. Colic crying is intense. Your baby's face will likely be flushed, and he or she will be extremely difficult â if not impossible â to comfort. Posture changes. Curled up legs, clenched fists and tensed abdominal muscles are common during colic episodes. Colic may affect up to about 25 percent of babies. Colic usually starts a few weeks after birth and often improves by age 3 months. Although a few babies struggle with colic for months longer, colic ends by age 9 months for 90 percent of babies.
Treatments
Colic improves on its own, often by age 3 months. In the meantime, there are few treatment options. Prescription medications such as simethicone (Mylicon) haven't proved very helpful for colic, and others can have serious side effects.
A study published in January 2007 suggests that treatment with probiotics â substances that help maintain the natural balance of "good" bacteria in the digestive tract â can soothe colic. More research is needed, however, to determine the effects of probiotics on colic.
Consult your baby's doctor before giving your baby any medication to treat
