Baby seems to be struggling to poop. How long can he go without pooping before we should worry. What are signs to look at for and how can we avoid the situation all together? ThanksAny advice about avoiding constipation in a preemie who is receiving formula. Any home remedies/md advice?
when my daughter was born she had the same problem, i had to switch her to the soy formula,her doctor said she was to young for prunes or prune juice, so we had to use a suppository.being an infant she should poop at least 2 times a dayif it goes longer then 2 days and a supposiyory isnt helping i would set up a doctor apptAny advice about avoiding constipation in a preemie who is receiving formula. Any home remedies/md advice?
I am a mother of 7 and I consider myself kind of an expert. I would be concerned after about 24 hrs as long asa the baby is eating well. Feel the abdomen and if it feels hard or is petruding slightly then is probably constipated. It is ok to give a newborn even a preemie up to 4 ounces of water a day even though some doctors will tell you when the baby is eating they should only be consuming calories. Although the water will help.
i breastfed my preemie.. she needed all the help she could get (as do all preemies... have you considered trying to relactate?). i do know that they strongly suggest that you don't switch to soy without your dr's advice, especially when dealing with a preemie. my pediatrician recommended karo syrup, about 1/2 a teaspoon in 2-3oz bottle of expressed breast milk to help my preemie being able to void.
My sons a preemie also, I was told it was ok not to have bowel movements for up to 7 days as long as he was still passing gas.
I use Enfamil Gentlease formula as my son was having a hard time with bowel movements. He seemed to be in a lot of pain while on just regular Enfamil Lipil. After i changed to Enfamil Gentlease he seemed like he wasn't in pain anymore :)
I heard that switching to a soy formula would help. Its easier to digest then the stuff that has the cows stuff in it....and i suppose just watch for fussiness. My doctor told me that if he (my babe) was crying during or right after a feeding that that generally means hes having some kind of tummy issue. but they also told me that babies can get reflux right now and deal with alotta gas issues on formula. so watch for that stuff too?
i agree, breast milk does help, and 4 oz of water wouldn't hurt either. my niece had the same problem, and when they took her to the e.r, all they did was give her some water and wait for her to poop. babies are to have at least 7 dirty diapers a day, so after 24 hours and still no poop, i think you should see a doctor

Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?
makes sense, because selling a house is just another deal, like buying a baby.
WHAAAAAT????Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?
I have a better explanation for the phenomenon of ';spiritual'; advice, it's called guessing, lying, and manipulation. A stranger who pretends to have contact with the supernatural will have nothing else to offer you. The only advice you need is thoughtful reflection, careful study of the facts, weighing one's options honestly and realistically, and open communication with your living loved ones, yourself, and whatever agencies or individuals you are thinking of doing business with.Where can I get reliable Spiritual advice about adoption and selling my house?
You should speak to a cleric of your religion (priest, rabbi, imam, etc.)
It's almost impossible to give spiritual advice to someone who doesn't share your beliefs. I suggest talking to your religious leaders about spiritual matters.
Well, I'm pretty sure not here!
I would suggest speaking with a leader (professional or otherwise) you trust in your spiritual community. Don't have a spiritual community? Then I'd suggest finding one.
Go to your pastor or minister. If you do not have one go to a church. you really should begin attending services regularly it will change your life
I suppose it depends what religion you are, but I think most God's are a bit busy to deal with the selling of houses?

17 year old in need of advice about weight control?
i am 17, and i am 207 lbs. i am on weight watchers right now but its hard because i have a depression disorder that messes with my appetite. I eat when i am bored, and overly upset.
i need advice on how to feel full without eating foods that will keep me the weight i am .17 year old in need of advice about weight control?
drink lots of water whenever you feel sad or craving something chug a glass or water or enough until you feel satisfied
also chew gun all the time keeps your mind off food and you can choose flavors as long as its like 5 calorie or less sticks...one piece can last all day believe me
exercise everyday and eat fiber rich veggies
and lastly drink black coffee its great warms you up, gives you energy, and burns calories as long as its caffeinated without sugar or milk added
hope these help you17 year old in need of advice about weight control?
No, you need to fight boredom and depression. Being full does not stop mindless eating. If you must eat, eat veggies and fruit. But it would be better to go for a walk, play with the dog, work in the yard, build a treehouse - anything to keep your hands occupied. Regular exercise will help you feel better, sleep better, and stay occupied.
I've done WW, all the food advice is there. Go back and reread your pamphlets, and pay attention this time. You may need to see your psychologist, too - your response to meds will change as you get older, change your eating habits, exercise, etc.
I know depression can seem overwhelming. But do you want to spend the rest of your life dependent on meds? Take control now, learn to drag yourself off the couch when you absolutely don't want to - you have to fight to take your life back. You're halfway there just asking for help, now comes the hard part - actually changing yourself.
Good Luck!

I need advice about adding stones to jewelry?
Is there a way of knotting a stone into a hemp necklace rather than using regular beads. I have a few small polished stones that I received and want to use but I'm not sure if I will need to drill a hole in them or if there is a way of securing the stone by using a series of knots.I need advice about adding stones to jewelry?
Maybe you could hot glue them there.

Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?
How can I defrost chicken breast quickly. And it's my first time to make a turkey for thanks giveing. Can someone explain what I need and how. In a simple way I can understand. Thanks.Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?
First the Chicken: Fill a bowl full of HOT water and put the package of chicken in the water...you can also try the defrost on the microwave, but sometimes it kinda cooks the edges.
Second-the Turkey: Depending on the size of your Turkey and if you are going to stuff it or not, you need to determine when you want to eat. Here is the simple cooking instructions---- I usually cook a 15-18 lbs.Turkey and I get up around 5:00am and put it in the oven. Most of your Turkey's have cleaning and cooking instructions on the packaging. Follow the instructions....Then after you clean your Turkey, melt a stick of butter and coat your Turkey well and salt and pepper the outside. Cover tightly with tin foil and put into a 325 degree oven and let the oven do the rest. Check around 3 hours later and start basting it with the juices that are in the pan. Then you can baste every hour and a half till done. On the last half hour of cooking, remove the foil from Turkey except leave foil on the tips of the wings (they tend to cook/brown too fast) and let your Turkey get golden brown. Remove, baste last time and let Turkey cool at least 15-20 minutes before you remove stuffing and start to carve. Enjoy!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING :-)Will someone help me with two this about cooking advice. All advice. Thanks?
Putting it in HOT water is a big No No. Get a food safety guide. That puts it in the danger zone temp. wise
Place your chicken zip lock bag and let it thaw in a large bowl of room temp water. Change the water frequently and it will quicken the thawing time.
In regards to the turkey, go to Butterball's web site. There is a ton of info. They also have an 800 number for support.
You posted this question twice and I answered the first one initally but since it seems there are most responses here I'll copy n paste here in case the other post was an error:
Well from what I've learnt the best (healthiest) way to defrost meats are to place them in the fridge overnight, but since you said quickly I'm assuming you are in a pinch and need the frozen meat to cook ASAP. There are two methods I usually use..choose the one you prefer:
1) Cold Water Thawing
The meat has to be a leak-proof package or container else the meat tissue will absorb the water as it thaws. Fill a bowl with cold tap water (don't use warm water as it can encourage bacteria growth) and submerge the package of meat, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Generally speaking, small packages of meat like say 1 pound will partially thawed in about 15 minutes, or completely defrosted in 45 mins to 1 hr. give or take.
2) Microwave Thawing
Of course this is kinda touch and go in terms of thawing time cause of the differences in microwave but the meat should be put on a plate and loosely wrapped with plastic wrap (not the store packaging that the meat came in). Use the defrost setting if your microwave has one, or if not, just monitor the meat as it thaws to prevent cooking meat before it is thoroughly thawed. What I normally do is put it on for a few mins like 3 and then take it out and test it with freshly washed hands to see how defrosted it is and then adjust the remaining time from there.
What do you want to know in particular about cooking the turkey? Do you want to know how to cook it from beginning like right out the package to end on your table with stuffing etc?
Hope this helps!
Put it in a pan and put it in the sink with a slow stream of running water on it, cold water. I would tell you to use the micro but that tends to make them rubbery and starts to cook them a little. A chicken breast should not take that long to thaw.
Abt turkey after u follow the instructions of cleaning the turkey acc to instructions .buy back bacon abt a kg. gently seperate the skin from the fleshof the turkey layer strips of the bacon until all of the turkey i is well lined with the bacon. Now in the inner and outer side smear and marinade the entire bird with ginger garlic paste and sourlime juice and just a dribble of hot chilli sauce. let it marinade for 5 to 6 hours. If u feel like filling the guzzle and tummy. then you can try this filling. take a kg of onions and mince finely to this add atsp of ginger garlic paste. fry all well take half kg of liver dice into very small cubes. add to the fry mixture . take half a kg of potatoes peel and dice into small cubes add to the filling take half kg of green peas add to the filling take half kg of tomatoes and add to the filling let all this fry in 2 tablespoon of butter till well cooked. in a seperate frying pan take 300gms of brown raisins and fry well remove from fire add to filling, take 500 gms of almonds blanched them and sliver them into halves. fry them light brown. add all to filling. Now stuff the turkey. and sew up the opening well. Brush the entire bird with butter. and bake till tender.
Yeah, I just took a serv safe class recently. This is how you thaw foods correctly. You can put it in a fridge-41 degrees Celsius or lower.You can run potable water at the temp of 70 degrees Farenheit or lower over it. You can put it in a microwave oven,if the food will be cooked immendiately after thawing.If you put in the microwave, sometimes you have to be careful because it will start to cook the meat.
Take it out now or defrost in microwave (you will have to watch it carefully so it doesnt cook in the microwave.)

Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?
About a week and a half ago I drastically changed my diet to lose weight. I'm counting calories (usually staying under 1500), drinking ONLY water, adding healthy fruits %26amp; veggies, munching on frozen slim fast shakes for a snack, and even started doing a 2-mile aerobic DVD. In the first 4 days I lost 7 pounds, but since then I've only dropped one more pound. It seems too soon to be hitting a plateau!!! Help???Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?
After a week and half, there's no reason to worry about a plateau yet. Plus, 7 pounds in 4 days is astonishingly fast. Normally healthy weight loss happens at about 1-2 lbs per week. Hopefully some of the 7 pounds is water weight that your body dumped as a reaction to your change in diet.Does anyone have any advice about what to do about my weight loss plateau?
I tend to disagree with the water ';counter';...you really don't need to drink so many ounces a day per say, just go by your.....';tinkle';..!! if your urine is clear each time you go to the bathroom, you are fully hydrated. A darker yellow color means just to drink more water...I teach/work -out a lot and this has definitely work for me....
Drink plenty of water evenly through the day, eight or more glasses total. As soon as you wake up, try and drink 16 ounces of cold water. Drinking water is one of the most rapid weight loss tips that dieticians suggest to people and leads to 100+ calories extra burned a day. Eat six small meals a day. Typical times are 7:30am, 10:00am, 12:30pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, and 9:00pm. Lunch should be the largest. Other meals consist only of 1/2 palm sized peice of protein and one fist size organic carbohydrate food. Your palm and fist.
A great tip for how to lose weight fast, easy and safe is that you should have your last large meal about three hours before you go to sleep. It's ok to have a very small snack after that. Eat organic vegetables and fruits for breakfast like apples, non-fat yogurt, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots. Don't depend upon fat burning diet supplements. They won't go a long way in helping you sustain your reduced weight. Soft drinks contain 150 empty calories, you must substitute 1 can of soft drink (soda) with water each day. Every 20 soft drinks you skip from your normal intake equates to about one pound of weight loss. Diet sodas can stop you from losing weight, therefore drink and equal amount of water immediately after a diet drink to help flush your system or better yet, avoid diet drinks every other day if you have the will power all days except your ';cheat day';. (See below)
Being bored at your house, especially in the evening, becomes a cause of over eating. So keep yourself busy by meeting a friend, walking around the block, ride a bike around town, go see a movie, etc. Don't just sit on the couch all the time. As important as it is to pay attention to the fact that we eat the right food, equally vital is to keep a watch on the quantity. A good rule of thumb is: protein fits in the palm of your hand, carbohydrate fist size, and no fatty ad-ons (butter, dressing, etc). But dark greens (spinach, green beans, etc.) eat as much of those as you want because those are very healthy for you. (Broccoli is one of the best for this, but I recommend steamed) Eat your food slowly with each mouthful taking 30 seconds. Pause your eating half way through 5 minutes. Your body needs ten minutes to tell your mind it's full. Remember, eat slow. Go for a one hour walk 5 days a week. This does not to be a power walk but a faster pace will help your weight. If possible, carry some light 2-5 pound dumb bells. The ultimate tip to eventual success: regular exercise and a balanced diet. And one cheat day to your diet to rid yourself of cravings. But remember not to over eat on your cheat day.
Good luck!
