Toddler & Preschooler - February 2007

My son LOVES to drink juice, milk, water. Everytime I turn around he asks me for something else to drink. Even if the last thing he drank was no more than half hour ago. I googled this question and I read that he might have diabetes or lupus. I have no idea if this is or isn't true. I'm going to call his ped today to schedule an appointment. My thing is that whenever he drinks too much, of course he ends up running to the bathroom or has an accident. Is he just being a kid or is it more than that?

My daughter will be 4 in April. She no longer wears a diaper when she is awake. But, she wears one at bedtime. Any suggestions on how to manage the transition to not wearing a diaper at bedtime?

Firstly - this may be normal but i don't know! Many of my friends have littl'uns who slept right through from small (lucky swines) so they can't really give me any advice about this. My health visitor used to be helpful, if only for bouncing concerns off, but due to cutbacks i now no longer have a one!
Basically she wakes on average 4 times a night,she doesn't cry at all but she shouts! We have tried to ignore her in the hopes she will get herself back off but she keeps going and going until she has shouted herself fully awake! We've also tried controlled crying. The only way to get her back off again is to go through and give her a little milk. Then she'll sleep again for a few hours. She has a nap during the day of about an hour (sometimes more) but she could easily sleep for about 3 hours in the day if i let her. We are getting more and more exhausted and don't want this to continue when she's a tweenie! Has anyone been though anything similar? Do you have any tips?
Thank you

I have just started taking Zoloft 25mg I have done alot of research but nothing comes up for breastfeeding a toddler while on this drug. I will admit that i have started feeling so much better, and have been able to be a more active part of my daughers (23 months) life. Any experience you may have while on this drug and breastfeeding is very welcomed. Thank you.

Are there any toys based on the Wonder Pets? My son loves this show-he trys to sing the phone is ringing when our phone rings! I love the songs and the message of the show (teamwork) and would love to have figures or toys that we could play with and sing to. Since they have toys of every other kids show, do they make any wonder pets items? This and the Wiggles are the only shows he is really allowed to watch, unless you count the Elmo Potty Video his nana got him!

When he was born, he slept with me all the time, esp. when his father and I split. So I can say that it is mainly my fault, that he will not stay in his bed through the night. Now at age 3, I am ready for him to stay in his own bed. I have tried to talk to him and turn a movie on for him, it works for a while, but I wake up and he is in my bed. What can I do that will keep him in his own bed?

Amie and I will be sitting on the couch and our 6 year old son keeps pushing his way in between us. It is like he can't stand for us to cuddle up to one another. He is no longer content to sit on the floor when we are all watching tv. He has to be in between me and Amie.
How do I let him know that I just want to cuddle with his mother without hurting his feelings.

I was laying in bed with my son (15 months) this morning because he woke up crying. All of the sudden I heard a reeeeeally loud girgling squishing sound coming from his belly. Within ten seconds he was puking liquids up all over the bed. I picked him up and for the next two or three minutes he sat there and kept swallowing. This is the first time one of my children has ever puked. He seems fine. Could it have been acid reflux?

I'm just worried about that with my twins. I have been fat my whole life and am just now losing the comfort and reward connection I had with food. I don't want my kids to go thru the same thing. Maybe I'm overthinking it but that's where it all starts folks, in childhood.

I wanted to get my daughter into natural (no make-up, fake teeth, hair etc.) pageants but wasn't sure how to find them. I've searched online and it's just a web of sites after sites. If anyone knows of some direction to take that would be great! Thanks

My 7 month old keeps untying her shoe. I'm looking for a product but I'm unsure of the name. I would want to say its a shoe lace stopper but I'm not turing up anything in my search. Its been awhile since I had a small baby (16 years). Can anyone guide me with the correct wording?

does anyone know a good, safe vitamin for my 3yr old son that will boost his appetite? he eats only about 3tsp of rice or noodles and thats it! we have no choice but to give him milk(pediasure) instead. He eats only if he feels like...which in most cases not. He's quite small for children of his age. Can somebody give me a good suggestion pls.

All her little firends have started saying a lot more and some even string small sentances together. My daughter seems to still have a "high obeject recognition factor" and can point and fetch almost any household object you can name, she just doesn't say what they are even though she knows!

Should I be worried?

I have a 9 year old step brother, I hardly sees him, just recently my Dad ask for my help to tutor him because he didn't do so well in school. As I mentioned, he is 9 years old, but yet couldn't speak clearly. I couldn't understand most of the word he was saying. He couldn't spell/read long words and not able to make short sentence. He is also poor in maths, but able to count correctly if I draw or uses other objects in teaching. I am now using the first grade activity book, but he is still slow. Should I advised my Dad to send him to a dyslexia/special school?
