Toddler & Preschooler - January 2007

Is there a sippy cup out there that doesn't require 7 tools and a 3 man work crew to clean? How do the expect you to get into all of those deep holes and fine lines?

My husband and I have a 15 month olf girl. We have taken her to dinner a few times and of course it can be difficult. She has never thrown a fit, but she always wants to get down and walk over to see everyone else! The second she lets out a loud noise, one of us always takes her right away for a walk outside. Don't worry, we have consideration for the other customers and understand that people want a peaceful meal. I was just looking to see if anyone has advice on how to keep a 15 month old busy in a restaurant? I don't want to keep her at home all the time, she needs to get out, and she loves people.

Hi My daughter just turned 1 in December so she can eat pretty much anything but i struggle with feeding her because I hate to give her the same thing over and over.
So what food do u give to your child that they love?

I posted below about my 13 1/2 month old refusing to nap. I understand they give up the morning nap around this time but the afternoon one too. She needs to sleep. I will leave her in the crib for 2 hours and she just won't sleep. She is clearly tired and she is a wreck. I can't make her sleep. She stays in her crib but she is not sleeping therefore not rested. We are on 3 days of no naps She actually slept thru the night last night but the other nights it was a struggle to even get her to go to sleep and when she finally did she was up 2-3 times. What is going on. Please tell me this will pass. What 13 month old doesn't need a nap?
thanks
Debbie

She will maybe take a spoonfull or a bite of finger food but that is it. She will take all her formula bottles and will even baby sign for those but as for "real" food she is not bothered. Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar situation? may sound trivial but it worries me silly that she is not getting the nutrition she needs. thanks

I need some advice on myh 4 yr old daughter. When I tell her to do something or I get on to her for making bad choices she screams at me. She also says your not my mommy anymore. Now when it comes to her father if he gets on her she listens. You need to know that she lives with me and not him. He also only sees the kids like once a week or every two weeks. He doesn't see them every day. What can I do to get her to stop doing that? She also tells me no and that she is going to tell daddy. It just drives me crazy that I always have to be the bad guy. Please help.

It's not like a pacifier where we could ween it off of him. We can't very well take away his fingers. He sucks them almost constantly since he was in my womb. Sometimes we have to tell him to take his fingers out of his mouth when he talks because we can't understand him. Also, do you think that sucking his two fingers will not do as much damage to his teeth as if he were sucking is thumb? Can you give me some ideas that have actually worked.

Based on my last question on how my girlfriend treats her child. He does seem beyond help. If he is ever told not to do anything, which i have tried, like hitting me with broom or throwing a chair across the room you get a "**** Off ********" response from him. I have tried to help her out a lot with him and tried to show her the right way, but she says she dont beleive in being strict with him, yet like i said earlier smacks him when he wont go asleep or listen to her. I have often sat in the bathroom with him when he baths to make sure he is ok. I have mentioned several times this isnt right and have said now he is going to school she needs to be aware of social services. She said if she hears from them then will blame me and make up stories, cause i am always saying i will take him to the park or somewhere for half and hour or so to give her a break. Now i am worried she could make an allegation against me and i havnt done anything but care for her little one and her.

She only takes it when it is time for bed, not during the day.

When he is with grandma or the baby sitter he is a perfect angel. As soon as I get there he acts up and is doing things purposely that he knows makes me mad!! Does anyone else have similar experiences? Why does he do this?

She is a severely handicapped girl whose parents are trying to keep her small so they will not have to put her in an institution when she is too heavy to care for. I have seen children in places for the profoundly retarded and I understand this. Why can some people (Nancy Grace included) no understand this.

Some examples of her indecisiveness are: one time at breakfast she asked for cereal and milk when I poured the milk she started crying saying she didn't want the milk on her cereal. Then I poured her more cereal, put the milk up and she started crying wanting milk on her cereal. Another time she was at the Dollar Gen. store with her dollar she earned for allowance and took 45mts. to decide what she wanted to buy. I always fuss at her for doing things like this but she still does them. It's driving me crazy. I don't know what to do or how to handle this or how I can get her to be more decisive. These are just 2 of the many torments I go through every day. Please help!!!!!!!!

i am concerned about my girlfriends attitude towards her child lately. He is three from a previous relationship and i am growing increasingly concerned how she is treating him and bringing him up. When i am not there she sleeps on the sofa with him at the other end. She goes to stay at her mums sometimes and shares a double bed with her sister of 16 and the little boy. When he wakes up in the morning he goes to the fridge to help himself to a choclate bar for breakfast and when she is bathing him she just leaves him in the bath to get on with it. She refuses to tell him off for certain behaviour but will smack him when he wont go to sleep and plays up. The only way she gets him to sleep is in his buggy with a bottle so she can strap him in. I have only been dating this girl for a while and she has started to let me in to see more. When i try to talk to her on this behaviour she says its normal and its her kid so she can do what she likes with him. Is this a normal way to raise children

I am thinking of taking my son to his first dental appointment. He is 2 1/2. He has a full set of teeth, and has never had any problems with them. I haven't seen any cavities, and we brush twice a day. Now is this age to early when there seem to be no problems, or should we take him anyway??????


Also, should we go with a ped. dentist or a regular dentist?? I have seen a lot of reviews, and have noticed that most people think that they are a joke.

Last Question... Anyone have any advice for if we do take him... like how to make it easier on ourselves.. Our son does not like to be held down or made to stay in one place for very long~ like most kids his age... If you can, please answer all three... Thanks to everyone.....

For instance, my son just turned 2 & he will repeat this a billion times a day:

1. What did you say?

2. Where is my ball? (then he'll answer himself "I don't know")

3. Ooohhh, maaan! Why did you break it - you broke it! (but he did it)

4. Why did you do that? (again, he's the culprit)

5. no touching (just before I'm gonna tell him)


What funny & cute things your toddlers are stuck on & just won't stop repeating?

Is it harmful to give your toddler sips of sweet tea throughout the day? If yes, does anyone know of any websites that I can go to so I can find out the specifics.

He's 6 years old.Constipated - hasn't had a bowel movement for 4 days.

His stomach hurts & is bloated. I've been giving him loads of water & juice to drink.

When her tries to do a poo - he cries as it really hurts him.

So will massaging his stomach help - to loosen things up ?

I'm not asking this to be judgemental or anything like this I'm just curious as to what other toddlers do. My 15 month daughter shows no interest in TV whatsover even if I put something like the tweenies she will ignore it.
So here are the questions:
1. When did your toddler first start watching TV?
2. How uch do they watch a day and how old are they?
3. What are your reasons for your toddler watching/not watching TV
