Both of my ddaughers aged 2 and 3 have colds. I've been giving them medication to help but it doesn't seem like it's doing enough. They have been to the doctor so I know it's nothing more than the common cold. However, I forgot to ask if I should use a humidifier or a vaporizer. Which one would be more beneficial?

my son gets into everything u tell him no and he wont stop he hits and kicks, pinches punches throws things.and he just rips everything apart, he wont even be put in a stroller or shopping cart he just throws a down and out fit in front of everyone *youd swear he was being beat*and u cant even turn your head for 30 seconds and hes completely gone and rampaging though everything. ive never seen anything like it before in my life and everyone else tells me that also. ive tried everything i can think of to get him to listen. whipping, not whipping, talking to him, using a stern voice, not using a stern voice, time outs, slapping his hand,

and napping (which is something she usually doesn't do anymore) i have called her doc but it usually takes a few hours for them to call back is this normal there is no redness around the areas but they're slightly swollen and her legs are really hurting her she's usually tearing things apart and dancing and singing so i'm worried she usually never is bothered by any of the other shots she got so any input would be welcome thanks

I'm trying to get some healthy ideas for feeding my two year old daughter. I'm not much of a cook and it seems all the "convienent" kid-friendly foods in the supermarket are so unhealthy (big suprise). I find myself feeding her a lot of the same things. I know she must be bored with her lunches. Just wondering if anyone knows some simple recipes that will give her some variety and are a little more nutritious.

Itell me your feeding and napping schedule of your toddler? my son just turned 1 yrs old saturday and he goes to bed at 6p.m. If he takes a 2nd nap, he will go to bed at 7p.m. He will sleep usually from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and play in his crib til 8:30-9 a.m. then he will have a 7 ounce bottle and at 10:30 a .m. a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, eggs or something to that nature...at 11:30 he is down for his nap til 1-1:30 p.m.has another 7 ounce bottle or just a snack...at 3:30-4 he has dinner and before bed, another bottle...is this a typical schedule?

I have fine, slightly wavy, and very thin hair and my two daughter's have thick, coarse, strait hair. One is three and the other five. I have there hair cut all one length between just above shoulder length and to right past their sholders all the time because it gets so many knots, even with it short it does. I have no idea what to do with it. I tried the pony tail and I end up with bumps and hair falling out everyhere. Headbands don't stay in very well same with barettes. I've even got them bangs and it still fell in their face and was hard to deal with. What can I do?

It's been over a year. He only cries when he gets there and it lasts only a couple of minutes. He's happy the rest of the day.

My daughter likes to walk around and hate toys buts loves misc things like my remote control and other items. But she likes to move around, and I feel guilty because she does this more than she likes to play. She likes to be held but ONLY when she ready! Im okay with it, but is it normal?

My son is 3 1/2 yrs old and will peepee in the potty...he is no problems with that. However, I can't get him to poop in the potty. I have tried everything...bribery, telling him that his favorite characters poop in the potty, putting him on the toilet until he poops, reading him books that involve pooping on the potty and let him run around with no underwear on. Nothing is working!!! ( he has watched me and his dad go to the bathroom ) He wears regular underwear and poops in them! Anyone have any suggestions?

My mother-in-law thinks i'm to relaxed with my 18 mo. daughter (she calls it bohemian.) A good example is when she goes into what i call "destructo mode" and takes out all her toys and tips over her toy bins, takes all the cushins and pillows off the couch. And pulls down just about anything she can get her hands on. She is not hurting anything and isn't doing it maliciously, so i don't stop her. When she has gotten it out of her system, i have her "help" me pick everything up and put it back into its place. My philosophy is not to try not to make a big deal and she won't want to do it as much because it does not get a reaction from mommy.

My mother-in-law belives in swift and strict. I should stop the behavior immediatly and my relaxed attitude will create a spoiled brat. She is a handful, but she is a toddler and I thought that was normal. Is my mother-in-law right? Am i too relaxed?

But knowing how much it means to her sine she passed I am looking for someone that could make a new one that it the exact same. Where do I find someone that can to it.
