comment How should I schedule the sleep and feeding pattern of my infant so that he gets enough feed when I am at home?
There is no way you can let your baby go unfed for 7 hours during the day, that's just insane! Your baby needs food every 2.5-3 hours to grow and thrive. If you don't want to pump, you need to supplement with formula.

comment How do we stop our daughter rolling over and waking herself up?
@Brian White, 5, 6 or 7 minutes is a long time for a baby, especially a crying one. Research shows that denying your baby touch and comfort and letting it cry damages the brain [Schanberg, S. (1995). The genetic basis for touch effects]. I will never do that to my child, as I believe it's a cruel thing to do. I believe being a parent is about more than just tending to just the very basic needs of a child, and that means never letting my child learn that I won't come if she needs me, which is what CIO babies learn.

CIO is not harmless, it results in damage to the brain. A 5-month old can't rationalise that the parents are in the next room and that she is in fact safe, she actually believes that she's been left to die alone. How anyone can be so cruel to their child is beyond me.

comment What is the best way to give medicine to baby?
Mixing medicine with breastmilk is a really bad idea, if the child does not like the taste of the medicine he or she can develop a distaste for mother's milk as well, which can lead to nursing strikes and other problems with the breastfeeding. I won't down vote, though, as your other suggestions are good ones.

-1. The statement that the fetus will lose nutrients due to breastfeeding is just not true. There is no reason why a healthy pregnant woman should stop breastfeeding.
