My 3 1/2 year old daughter has been on Glycolax for about 2 years for constipation. She is finally potty trained and has been having regular poops (every day or every other day) for nearly 3 months. Finally things seem to be working properly and I'd like to wean her off of the Glycolax. However, I've heard stories that it can be hard to get off of...painful.

I'd love to hear how other people have gotten their young children to come off of it without going back to withholding.

Thanks!

My son seems to be a bottomless pit! He is not skinny but he is not overweight either. However he is 85th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height- so he is stocky. Should I let him eat as much as he wants or should I cut him off?

There's a kid in my french class who is absolutely gorgeous but he's kind of shy and doesn't talk a lot, even with his friends.

I know he kind of has his eye on this other girl but i've liked him since I first knew him and have only talked to him a few times.

I am soo not conceited but I really do believe that I am prettier than this girl, and I know i'm smarter because, no offense, but she's incredibly stupid.

Guys i especially need your help, what's the best thing I can do to have him notice, and hopefully be interested in me?

I usually never have problems with guys but this is a challenge!!

I have given her all the things that usually give her diarhea, but they aren't even working. Prune juice did not work out with her--she hates it! Nothing has changed in her diet, she drinks plenty of fluids, and is active. I don't want to scar her by giving her an enema. Any natural remedies (not enemas or laxatives) would be awesome

He's going to be a year old on the 30th. For the last week he has refused all food, save yogurt. Foods he used to love now cause him to purse his lips and turn his head away. It's very frustrating. Especially when he'll try and eat dust bunnies that he finds on the floor.

He will drink. He's sucking down formula like it's going out of style, but I cannot get any actual food to stay in that mouth!

Does anyone have experience with this?

My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs old. I know I am probably more protective than the average parent (i get told so all the time). But every now & then the Grandparents mention taking her somewhere. I know they are good drivers (well a couple of them are), but I am not ready for this and don't know when I will be. My husband and I both agree. Has anyone dealt with this before? How did you handle it?

My 2 year old has a bad cold and needs to drink more fluids. She normally drinks juice from a cup without problem, but because she's feeling bad she won't. Any ideas on how to get her to take in some liquids besides Jello and popsicles?

My son is just like every other baby and is into everything and actually laughs at me when I tell him 'NO' in a firm voice. He grabs at my face and pulls my glasses of, again I tell him 'NO' but it just doesn't register.

I hit him once and I am so ashamed of myself as I don't want to go down that route, it had absolutly no effect on him and I felt so so bad about it!

I just don't know how to get through to him! I know he is only a baby still but what can I do?

My toddler (20 mo) developed (what I think is) contact eczema about two months ago. It looks like dozens of little red spots around her mouth that suddenly come up. We were very careful about weaning her because there is a history of nut allergy in the family and I kept a detailed diary of what she ate for the first year but there were no reactions. She has always enjoyed eating tomatoes and citrus fruits, but when the rash first appeared, it only took about three weeks and a bolognaise to see that tomatoes where clearly a trigger. I have seen the reaction again several times when she has managed to steal tomotoes from friends' plates at play-dates. We have also isolated oranges but there is definately something else. Any ideas as to other common triggers? I've tried everything but by the time they get to toddlerhood it's almost impossible to track down the cause. Has anyone else's child developed an allergy late on and did it cure itself?

I wanted to know if this has happened with your baby girl. My little one is 13 months old and is very possesive. When I try to hold my husband in bed and she is there she swats me away or she will literally wedge herself between us. She will even give me dirty looks if I hold him and cuddle with him. Yesterday she climbed on him in bed and said mine, mine!. Does anyone out there have the same problem as if your daughter believes that daddy is for her and no one else?

I have a 19 month old daughter and was wondering if she is too young, and if the performance would hold her attention. She loves the Doodlebops, however the t.v. show only holds her attention for short periods of time. Please let me know from your experience whether you think it would be a good idea to take her to the live performance. Thanks!

Now that my daughter is over a year old should I still feed her the baby rice cereal (multi-grain) for breakfast and dinner or should I give her something else? What else is there to give her that is nutritious?
Sometimes I give her normal cereal (cheerios) with yogart....
Any suggestions?
