[ - ] I am so diappointed. Waited 10 weeks for baby furniture. Baby coming in 2 weeks. Stuff came yesterday- minus the dresser/changing table (it supposedly came damaged)! Katz in the Cradle THINKS we will have it in 2 weeks. That is cutting it so close. I wanted this to be ready ahead of time. Is it my hormones that are making me so angry? What is Plan B? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

You can change a newborn anywhere - lay a towel on a bed or couch. I promise it's the hormones. Good luck and congrats. [ Reply | More

if you are really concerned call your ped. i don't give him suppositories anymore. it is because their diet is so limited at this age. if you can get him to eat more veggies with fiber, drink more water or as a last resort, prune juice. i never get too worried unless he is uncomfortable or begins to strain a lot [ Reply | More
