My baby just turned 6 months old and she uses the potty to poop (sometimes pee!). She dosen't like to go in her pamper. I have a potty that has a hard plastic seat but Iam looking for one that has a cushy seat. I have one for the big toilet that is cushy but it is too big for her...

Thanks
Nik

My 18 month old daughter still has a bottle, during the day and at night. At night I can't get her to drink straight water and she SCREAMS bloody murder if I take it away. I know I should let her cry but I live in apartment and I don't want someone calling CPS or something. I also have a 5 month old son and she steals his bottle when I give her a sippy cup. She doesn't like those either. She looks at me like its broken and tosses it... now what?????

Although I want my child to learn at his own pace i would like to see my son potty trained sooner than later in life... as a single mother, diapers are quite expensive... My thoughts are to put him on the potty for less than a minute or so at a time, just to get him used to the hight, the coldness, etc... if I am not forcing him, might it work sooner?? If I am consistant, add a little love and comfort and maybe a reward, depending on his uninterest in it... serious only please... thanks :)

My 16 month old sleeps with a 'lovey'. This week he has started sleeping ON the lovey, almost like a pillow. He lays on his tummy (with his feet drawn up the way many baby's sleep) cradel-ing the lovey under his head and upper stomach. I wasn't planning on giving him a pillow until he asked for one----maybe he's asking???? Oh, pillows for babys scare me!

Thanks in advance for your comments!

My son is in K and not quite 6. He's only slept over at a gma's home and still often gets in bed with us. He has been invited to a mini-golf & sleep-over party. The boy is a fairly nice - and my son considers him his “best” friend, but the mom has done things to make me nervous.

e.g.: She is a problem parent to a teacher that is otherwise liked by parents. She lets her two kids- 4 y.o. and just turned 6 y.o. – to play in a (admittedly quiet) street un-supervised and allows them to go down the block to play without any contact with the parents of the home they are going to. She lied to another mom and said that my son had been to her house before for a sleep-over, when my son has never gone on a sleep-over! I thought she was very passive in stopping ugly behavior the one time we were over for a play-date. And I’ve never met the dad.

I told my son he could go golfing, but not sleep-over (& he is unhappy). I think I am comfortable with this, but what would you do?

i know every kid develops at a different speed but how common is it for a 20month old to not talk. he can say mama and dada (but i question whether he realizes what he is saying) he also tries to say doggie but thats it. my son still has a pacifier, could this be slowing things down?? also, he goes to my mother-in-law's on the weekends who speaks only spanish to him. could this also have an effect on things?? is it possible that he is trying to figure out the diff. in the languages or something?? and do you know of anything i can do to help him start talking?

My daughter who is going to be 3 in a few weeks still takes the bottle at night. With juice in it. But watered down of course. I've tried taking it away cold turkey, it din't work, cuz I caved in. Stupid me! Anyway, I've tried telling her that she needs to give the bottle up cuz she's a big girl and not a baby anymore! Didn't work, she then says she's still a baby. My daughter is very stubborn and thick headed, I think the reason I haven't taken it away yet is because I live with my parents, and I don't think they'd appreciate hearing her scream all night for the bottle. I know it must be done soon, but I need advise. I don't want to ask the doctor, cuz I think that he think that she's been off the bottle. And I tried the taking her to the store bit to pick out a new sippy cup and give up the bottle, it just didn't work! I blame myself, for lack of will power to just say NO! HELP ME PLEASE!

She is 2 years & 4 months old. We were making slow progress, but we've had a set back. 4 weeks ago our pet almost died and I'm sure she picked up on our sadness because she stopped peeing in the potty or toilet for 2 weeks after that. Since then she has used the toilet a few times, but she almost always refuses now. She won't even let me put her on the potty or toilet. She peed in the toilet for me at her Grandma's on Christmas day, but nothing since then. We also have a baby on the way, due in less than a month. Should I push the potty training issue right now, or let her come around on her own?

My son is 28 months. Following a 24 hour bug of a minor cold. He has vomit a few times now for two days... do you have any advice? Im a new mom and nervous wreck.... he has not vomit since he was an infant when he use to spit up...


In the last 2 days Ive fed him cereal, bananas, baby food jars and juice. He's vomit half of his meals. No milk as two nights ago he threw up his milk ..

What is toddler tummy and why is this happening to him.

Meanwhile he is acting like a normal toddler. He is happy and playing. He does cry after he vomits but I hug him and tell its ok and clean him up. Although he has requested to rest and lay down more often I believe due to tummy aches?

I'd like for my son to start learning how to help out a little. I'm not expecting him to clean house or anything not age-appropriate (I'm expecting somebody on here is bound to feel that's the case). He helps pick up his toys, he brushes his teeth, etc...but is there any way I can further instill more? For instance, would asking him to put his socks away after I've folded them be alright? Or do you have any more ideas?

Ok so my son just turned 1 like a week ago. But for the past month whenever he goes the the bathroom wether its poop or pee, if i dont get to him within like 5 mins of him goin he takes his diaper off. It happens everytime except for in the middle of the night, or if we are somewhere and he has clothes on. He doesnt like to wear clothes at home he screams till we take them off and he has even started taking them off himself. Im just wondering when we could start potty trainin him. My mom thinks that i could go ahead and start if he is takin his diapers off. But i would like the opinion of other people as well.

My 15 month old is very hard to get to sleep, even when it's completely obvious he's tired. I think a lot of it is that he wants his daddy, but my husband often doesn't get home till after the baby is sleeping, I try holding him off and keeping him awake, but he just cries and wants to be clingy, yawns and rubs his eyes the entire time, and most days he won't nap. We have a bedtime routine, but it's not working, and I notice that on days when my husband makes it home, bedtime goes a little easier. any ideas?
