I want to get my daughter a Baby Alive doll. Does anyone know if the doll's food and drink mix is gluten free? Hasbro is horrible about answering e-mails and I'm never available to call them during their business hours.

Wow, Angie I didn't even know those dolls were still around. I am not real sure about the answer to the question. Good Luck.

They werent' around for a while. They just brought them back i think a few years ago. I want to get Tori her own baby when we have the baby. We're going to throw a big sister party for her and the (real) baby is going to give Tori two gifts... One will be her very own baby (so maybe i can get away with changing the real baby without her hovering over me) and the other will be better batter baseball. I don't know why, but she's been begging for that all summer. I'm dying to buy it for her to see the look on her face. She usually doesn't beg for toys, but this one she's been pretty insistent upon. My little girl... :)

That is great you are throwing her a big sister party. It will make her feel important when the baby arrives. It is sad when a new baby arrives and everyone is admiring the baby and forgetting the other child/children. She will be so excited when the baseball batter is given to her. When are you due again?

August 31st. :rolleyes: I look like a blimp though, so maybe I'll go a little sooner. Throughout the pregnancy there has been question as to whether or not I'm further along than originally thought, but the ultrsounds and measurements all show me to be right on time with 8/31. Who knows. The baby dropped quite a bit the other day, so maybe I'm only a few weeks off.

Yeah, I always hate it when the older children get forgotten and left behind for that first month or so after a new baby is born. I'm trying to include her in everything I can. We're going to try to get most of the visitations out of the way while I'm still at the hospital so that when I come home we can focus more on Tori and not have a big to-do over the baby. Plus, I'll be in the hospital alone most of the time so it will be nice to have that extra company. :) Don will have to work and watch Tori the whole time I'm in the hospital except for when I'm giving birth. We're not even sure whether he'll be able to make it for that yet. It's going to be nuts.

I don't know about baby doll alive but I wanted to mention that there are Cabbage Patch dolls now that have "magic messy faces" when you "feed" them. There is no gluten, just cold water. I just bought one at Target. It was on clearance!

A big sister party sounds like fun!

Hi, I don't know anything about Baby Alive (other than the fact that I loved mine when I was little) but when I was pregnant with my youngest I was also so large that everyone wondered the same thing. They were predicting a big baby, they said around 8-9 pounds. Well I went until my due date and had to have a c-section because he wouldn't move down. The reason I was so big was because he was 10 pounds 8 ounces and 22 and a half inches long!! He was like a little moose, forget about newborn diapers or 0-3 month clothes, he was born like a 3 month old. Thought I would give you something to think about :P .

To counter the PP --

All by birthed children were well over 9lbs. I had 2 c/s they were 9.9 and 8.15 and then gave birth at home to the last 2 9.1 and 9.5. And they were longies 20 to 21 1/2. The first c/s was b/c the baby was not coming down after 2 1/2 hours of pushing and he was in a bad position -sunny side up and head turned sideways.

It's all about Positioning, Optimal Fetal Position for birthing.

Sorry a bit OT.

I had a Baby Alive as a child, the new ones look a little strange to me. I thought about buying my dd one, but she has WAY too many babies and she is only 3. Mommy has a baby doll buying problem!!! My dd LOVES babies. She is swiping all the diapers for her babies. LOL

I do not know about the gluten in the food, would your dd consume it? I might not worry about it if my child were old enough not to, but that also depends on the reactions of the skin contact which we don't have.

We don't have any skin contact reactions, but I don't allow any gluten into the house. I get sick really easily and having doll food around w/ gluten in it would definitely get me sick.

The baby isn't big at all. She's supposedly right on track to be a 7.5 lb. baby. My other daughter was 6 lbs. 7 oz. and she measured right on too. She was two weeks late also. I look like I'm going to have twins, but the ultrasound definitely just shows one normal sized little girl in there. I'm pretty tiny in stature, so I think I just look much bigger than most women. I'm 5'3" and small framed. I'm all belly. :) I was the same way with my daughter.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
