My daughter will be 3 in december and she is not potty trained. she doesn't even do #1 in the potty. She understands how to use the potty. She will sit on the potty after she goes in the diaper. i need help in getting her to use the potty the right way. i give her pull up training diapers but she refuses to use them correctly and she ends up with a leak. Is there any advice that anyone can give for this situation?

My little one tosses and turns all night, constantly kicking the covers off and then waking up several times a night from being cold.

I am looking for a store or company that makes sleep sacks in 24 mos/2t.

Thanks much! :-)

he is 5 yrs old and will refuse to eat for days. his teacher says that he eats his enitre hot lunch every day but just last night, i told him if he wanted any of his candy from trick or treating he had to eat a spoonful of beans. i know once he tastes the foods he will like them.
i also know it is my fault, what i need to know now is how do i reverse this. he is skinny and even his baby sister weighs almos as much as him. his dr says he isnt unhealthy but i think he is.
is it really okay to only offer him what is made and nothing else if he will refuse to eat for days? right now he is living off of cheerios and elementy school hot lunch.

How come Mom's get angry with me? I work as a Centralized Scheduler for a Children's Hospital.

Most of the time if I don't have an Appointment that week or (Day) I get cursed at, yelled at the whole nine. When I attempt to explain this is what you need to do to have your child seen that soon they don't even want to hear it. These Dr.s are Specialist not Family Dr.'s

It's just give me what I want, who cares what the Dr.'s you schedule for tell you.

So what do you suggest to make this process easier, I want thier children to be seen just as bad as they do but I have to follow rules you know. Any suggestions will be helpful.

My son is three and I share custody of my son with his father. He has him two days a week. When he comes back from his dads he whines about everything. Also my daycare lady says he is the best child there. He never whines, cries and listenes to everything she says. My son even tells me he acts so much better at daycare. I've tried everything. Please give me some suggestions.

My son saw the commercials for the FisherPrice digital camera and MP3 player over the weekend. I would love to get him one of these for Christmas. Does your little one have one? What is your opinion? Are they worth the money?

I volunteered to take a friend's children trick-or-treating with me and suddenly have found myself taking SEVEN children all under the age of 4. I am going to Wal-mart today to buy glow necklaces and was thinking I might get a jump roap and make them all hold onto it so they don't get seperated.. Good Idea??? Any other suggestions??

my son is going to be 21 months old in a couple of days. and i was womdering about potty training him. the thing is i'm not sure if he is ready. see he doesn't do to much talking because he is so active he just doesn't stop moving and is always trying the figure stuff out. but here in the last month he follows me and my husband in the bathroom and watches what we do. he can flush the toliet and put toliet paper in there. but hasn't really wanted to us it. but in the past two weeks everytime he has a dirty diaper he taked it off and throws it in the trash. and has a fit when we try to put a new one on. but i never know when he is going pee because he doesn't give me any idea that he is. i find out after he runs to me bare butt. so my question is should we try to potty train him and what is a good way to start. thanks for all your help.

any suggestions? I have a 4 yr old who is hyper enough without a major sugar rush. we are limiting his intake to 2 pieces a day and hiding the rest (until I find where I hid it next year...lol)
alot of the homes we went to last night gave the neatest stuff...like little containers of pay dough, pumpkin sun glasses, pencils, glow sticks which I think are great and are keeping him from bouncing off the walls...but the candy.....oh my, we still have so much of it.

My son is a year old, and he eats constantly! He just had his 1st birthday a couple days ago and he ate one cupcake after another loving the icing! My problem is, he was 4 months premature, and he looks like he is still only 4 or 5 months old at the most. (Even though he stands up and walks... at least for a bit before falling) Whenever I was in a store and he wanted to stand up or walk I would hold his hand to help him not fall and people and all of their rude opinions would yell at me for making such a young baby stand like that. I would of course tell them he is a year old and mind their own business, but I have a feeling that people will think the same thing if I take him around for Halloween. I already have his costume and he really loves it since it's Spiderman... should I just ignore everyone's comments and let him enjoy his first Halloween home (he spent the 1st 4 months of his life in the hospital and wasn't even home for the first one) or should I just not take him? Thoughts?

I`m living in a 4th storey apartment (without an elevator). My husband and I are happy with this house, the only problem is my children (ages 6, 4 and 3) have to walk up and down the stairs everyday they go and come back from school. Is climbing stairs good or bad for their health? If it is bad, then we will consider to move to a lower apartment.

I completely forgot that it was halloween until today. I don't get paid until tomorrow, and by the time I get done work and give the kids their supper, there won't be time to go and get a costume.. so I need to make something and I need to make something fast.

Any suggestions for something quick?

I'm pregnant and my daughter will be about 20 months when I deliver. I plan on keeping the baby with me for a couple months but I'm trying to figure out if I can use her crib for the baby or if we need to buy another one. I planned on getting her a toddler bed and using the crib for the baby but she is such a restless sleeper...it makes me nervous to think about putting her in a bed. So what is the usual age toddlers start sleeping in beds? Thanks!

My 3 1/2 year old son has a mental block when it comes to pooping. For a while he was good about trying, but he was VERY constipated. We increased his fruits, juices, fiber, etc... but still had problems. He would sit for long periods of time on the potty and then complain that it was too hard. We finally got the constipation issue taken care of thanks to some supplements the pediatrician prescribed, but he still has that mental block. He resists sitting on the potty and, if you do make him sit there, he almost immediately gives up and claims that it is still too hard. Then moments later he successfully goes in his pants.

We've tried charts, bribery, praise, picking out underpants, positive peer pressure... everything we can think of. And I truly don't think he is trying to be ornery - I think he just has had bad experiences that have him scared. Any suggestions on how I can get him to relax and give it a second chance?

By the way, he pees in the potty just fine!
