How much does a baby cost in the first year?
It really depends on what you feel is required as the parent. Like if u think your child needs lots of toys it will cost more then if you don't feel they need the toys.
depends. 8 pounds? Answer Well it depends, do you mean at birth? I have had 5 children, their weights ranged from 7 pds 8 to a hefty 10 pds 11. And they didnt get bigger with each child, infact each one got smaller! The weight of your baby will generally depend on the size of the mother (and sometiems father) how much weight you gain (underweight mothers can sometimes give birth prematurely) But usually a woman will not give birth to a child that is too big for her... meaning if the mother is small, her baby usually is on the smaller side, and if the mother is 6 ft 3 then chances are her baby will be on the larger side. the average weight of a caucasion baby is 7 pds 8 ozs. also 3.5 kg
After nine months of fetal development, a baby is born.
A short answer:Babies are made through a natural physical process called human reproduction (occasionally with the aid of in vitro fertilization as mentioned above). In natural fertilization, two humans of the opposite sex (one male and one female) have sexual intercourse. In this process, the male takes his penis and inserts it into the female's vagina. The male's erect penis is moved in the vagina until at the high point, the male's sperm is released and enters the female's vagina. The sperm travel into the womb and, if there is an egg deposited by the ovary waiting there (or on its way to the womb in the ovary tubes), the sperm connect with it and the combining of the egg and the sperm is what begins the fertilization that leads to what is called conception, when the egg implants in the uterus. At conception, the development of a fetus is initiated and ultimately a baby is born. A more detailed answer about natural fertilization and conception:In humans, when a man and woman have coitus (sex) it generally results in babies being formed. When a man and woman feel it is the right time to have a baby, they both sexually arouse each other by touching each other in parts of the body called erogenous zones. The man then places his penis into the female's vagina. The arousal generates a rhythmical movement against the female's body. During this process the man usually touches the woman in certain places, and vice versa, which further arouses them both. When this process reaches the peak, or orgasm, the man ejaculates (releases semen and sperm) into the vagina and his sperm swim up through the cervix into the uterus and Fallopian (ovarian) tubes towards the ovaries where the mature egg cell has been produced and released.Thousands of sperm try to break through the cell wall of the egg cell to gain entry and cause fertilization, however, usually only one sperm manages this penetration. Following a sperm's attachment with the egg, the egg produces a protein that will inhibit the further entry of any other sperm.
If the conditions of the uterus are correct, the egg then implants itself in the lining on the inside wall of the uterus (womb) called the endometrium. If all is well, then conception is complete, and after approximately nine months of development of the fetus, a baby will be born through the woman's birth canal and vagina.
Occasionally there are problems that require the birth to be assisted medically or even surgically by a procedure that is called a Cesarean section (the baby is surgically delivered).
See the related questions below for more information about artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and Cesarean sections.Babies are made when a sperm is able to join with an egg.
Biologically it is impossible for two females to produce a baby.
Assuming both of them are in good health and capable of normal sexual function, they would have consensual, planned and unprotected intercourse. Intercourse is where a man inserts his penis into a woman's vagina. Normally, this is pleasurable for both of them. When the man achieves orgasm, he ejaculates sperm into the woman's vagina, where it travels up her cervix into her uterus and fertilizes her egg. The fertilized egg implants itself into her uteral wall and begins dividing, becoming a blastocyst and them an embryo. Eventually, the embryo grows into a fetus. For most of the first two trimesters (about 24 weeks of pregnancy), the fetus resembles a tadpole or fish. By about nine months' time, the baby is born and soon becomes fully human, eventually gaining the ability to speak and reason.
What is the meaning of the name Maurine?

How much does it cost to care for a baby in the first year?
Hey there, Check out this Website I posted below, it has a 'Cost of Raising a Child Calculator'. http://www.babycenter.com/cost-of-raising-child-calculator Good Luck. ANSWER Alot also depends on whether you borrow a lot of things off family and friends, or buy second hand, and whether or not you breastfeed and use cloth diapers. I have always used preloved furniture and clothes (but always bought a new mattress) for my children and breastfed for the first year (at least) and each subsequent baby has used the clothess from the last baby - so my children dont really start costing me until they get to school, then my wallet is out alot lol! AN example -- a bottle fed / disposable diapered baby will cost (depending on where you live) upwards of $40 a week just for food and diapers - where as a breastfed cloth diapered baby is free (not counting the inital outlay of the cloth diapers and an extra load of washing every 2nd day)

How long are you supposed to breast feed a baby?
Typically, a baby is fed about 15 minutes on each breast 4 to 6 times a day. The baby should be fed exclusively breast milk for the first year of its' life. For the best interest of the child, continue breast feeding until the child is 2 or 3 years old.
How much does it cost to have a baby?
It depends a great deal on where you live, who delivers the baby, where the baby is delivered, and whether there are complications. Prenatal medical care may run around $2000. A home birth with no assistance is obviously pretty cheap but very risky - especially if there are complications. Having a home birth with some expert assistance like a midwife or doula usually requires paying something. Some birthing centers are cheaper than hospitals. Having an obstetrician is usually more expensive than a nurse-midwife, but they are also usually better prepared to deal with emergencies. The charge for an uncomplicated vaginal birth cost was about about $9,600 in 2008; an uncomplicated cesarean section was about $15,800.
High-risk pregnancies can have costs that go through the roof - if the mother has life threatening complications or the baby has birth defects the cost can escalate quickly. In extreme cases the cost can exceed a million dollars if you include the care required to save the life of the mother or baby (REAALLYY extreme with severe life threatening complications like hypoplastic left-heart).
Is it normal for a baby RES to foam at the mouth?
No, foaming out of the mouth are signs of a bacterial infection.
Newer research confirms bedsharing as a risk factor for SIDS independently of cigarette smoking. Sleeping in a room alone also confers an increased risk when compared to babies who sleep in a crib in a parent's room. Prematurity or low birth weight. Poor prenatal care.
How fast is a normal baby's heartbeat?
- A baby's heartbeat can range usually anywhere from 120-160 during your pregnancy. It can fluctuate constantly. The time that they can predict what the sex of the baby is in only when you are in labor and hooked up to the monitor to track the baby's heart rate. It is at this time that the lower numbers (under 140) are usually a boy, and the higher (over 140) are usually a girl.
- Sounds about right. Ours was 140 this week (32 weeks); we've been told two versions of an "old wives' tale": One says 140=boy and the other says 140=girl. Guess we'll have to wait until the birth!!
- I'm 32 weeks' and 5 days' pregnant with b/g twins; as of today, the girl was 143 beats per minute and the boy was 130. The doctor said both were in the normal range.
