Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

My daughter is almost 2 1/2. Right after she turned 2, we put her in a toddler bed. For the first few nights we had trouble getting her to stay in bed but after that it was great, she would sleep all through the night and that lasted only a month. Now we fight with her to get her to stay in her bed to go to sleep and then she wakes up 4 or 5 times a night. If she comes in the living room, she'll fall right asleep on the couch, but I really want this to stop because I'm about to have another baby in a month. I don't know if she's scared of something in her room or what is going on. Any responses would be helpful.

My son is 17 months old and I haven't given him a pillow in his crib yet. Lately when I've been checking on him in the middle of the night he has had his blanket bundled up under his head. I guess this means he wants one. I'm just nervous about sids or suffication. FYI, he is a 26lbs and 33 inches and walks and runs all over the place, he is not a "baby" baby. Thanks for your help!!

When a 3 year old little girl talks to you should you be able to understand her.

I took my daughter out to eat Friday, before spending the night at her grandmothers. Saturday morning she woke up vomiting everywhere. I know it was the food because we all felt strange but she got sick. I gave her clear liquids all saturday, and some Fletchers (kids laxative). She would take nothing to eat. Sunday I followed the BRAT diet, she took a banana and moved bowels twice. I thought she was doing better and sent her to daycare on Monday. She was fine (still scared to take food) but is eating. After bathtime Monday night she moved bowels twice in 1 hour both times it was only liquid. Is this normal? How long will it take to resolve itself? I have not given her anyother medicine and dont want too. She is still taking plenty of liquid and a lil scared to take food but she does eat. What do I do from here? Should she attend daycare tomorrow????

My 2 year old had problems saying some words that start with ‘D.’ Instead of 'D' she says 'G.' The words she has trouble with are DOG, DUCK, DINGLE, DARK, DOCK, and DECK.

Like instead of DOG, it’s GOG, and instead of DUCK it’s GUCK. I can get her to say the 'D' sound before the word, but then she replaces it with a 'G' sound.

Like I will say, "D(uh) D(uh) DOGGIE" and she will repeat back "D(uh) D(uh) GOGGIE." (the D's being the D sound as in 'DUH' not 'DEE')

But she had no problem saying the 'D' sound in some other words, like DADDY, DOES, DANGER, DARING, DANCE, DUDE, DENT, DOCTOR, DEDUCTION and DYING.

It’s not a big deal, and I know she will grow out of it, but I am just curious.

So my 2 yr old son was sorry a few words before. But now he refuses to say anything but mama and dada. I think it started because i went back to work and my husband dont give him any special time like i use to. Any ideas on what I should do. Thanx a million. Oh he is almost potty trained thanx to his older brothers.. Now we just need him to talk again.

My daughter turned 3 two weeks ago. She's been doing fine without the bottle during the day since she was about 2. But when bedtime comes she has to have it. We've tried all kinds of stuff but nothing has worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just let her have it until SHE wants to give it up?

Son is 4yrs. He's been PP trained for 8 ms, out of diapers for 6. I knew he was ready for #2 on the potty 6 mns ago so I took diapers away. They were a crutch. Figured if he went in his pants a few times it'd change. Nope. I was still cleaning him up. Then I started having him clean himself up. Still didn't work. Fast foward 2 now. He still goes in his underwear. But w/in the past 2 weeks, he has started holding everything in. He's never had a bad experience so, I can't see why he's scared of one. I actually got him ON the potty last week, and he DID GO. It was easy and smooth, no problems, He was happy and felt better. Good consequences, right? WRONG! He's STILL holding it in! We took him to the E-room last nite to make sure he wasn't constipated & he's not. They gave him a suppository & he held that in too!! Dr's were totally at a loss because he's not blocked up. He just won't go! PLEASE HELP!! SOMEONE out there must have had this problem!!!! (Edited for space)

My 19 1/2 month old wakes 2-3 times a night and just starts screaming. He doesnt seem to be awake yet Im not sure because he comes into our room and crawls into bed with us. I gently put him back to bed, but a few minutes to an hour later, he does it again. Doctor says to let him scream but then my husband complains and wants to give in to him and let him sleep in our bed. Not only that, he wakes my 4 1/2 month old up and then I have to get her back to sleep. Im about to pull my hair out. I just want one night that I can get a full nights rest. Husband doesnt get up with the kids, typical man that he is. Doesnt do much with them except things that make him happy like playing with them or taking them places...but thats a different story. How can I get him to sleep peacefully so I can too?

My son is 18 months old. Lately he has been frightened to go to sleep at night. He will not go to sleep unless I am laying with him and holding him. If I try to move he instantly starts crying untill I put my arms aroung him again. I do not think he is having night terrors, but I am worried. Does anyone know what I can do or where I can get information about what is going on with him?

The only thing she will put in anywhere near her mouth are Ritz crackers. If we try and trick her (Putting something good for her on the cracker) she won't even touch it. Even if we take off the offending healthy food, she won't eat it; she acts like it's covered in poison or something.

I know that it's our fault, because we've always let her eat crackers whenever she wanted them, but it's extremely frustrating. She can't live off that.

Does anyone have any solutions?

My son can't have anyone else put him to sleep so i have not been able to leave his side for even a single day for 2 years. I can't have time to myself as he is very demanding. He was breastfed to sleep up to a year and later, it was rocking, singing and patting. And he has taken an obsession to my belly button. He needs to (its embarassing) put his finger there to fall asleep or soothe. It used to be feeling my tummy. I guessed all these is related to the closeness when you breastfeed. But my limit is up. I cant stand it anymore. Sometimes it gets so uncomfortable (my belly button) and NOBODY can help me put him to sleep! I need at least an hour in the dark with lullabye and my patience has just been used up. I just flared up with him and my husband (for not being able to help). He has NOT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT AT ALL! Im tired. Please help. What can i do???? How do those kids progress to going lying in bed, you say goodnight and just leave him there and they sleep???

What is the best thing that you have found to put on a child's nose if it is sore due to a cold? I hate seeing him walk around with a yukky nose, but everytime I wipe his nose he just cries and cries and says it hurts. (He is 3) I am using a wet baby washcloth so that it will not hurt so much, but doesn't seem to help a whole lot!
