Here recently (the last week or so) my 27 month old has shown a BIG intrest in the potty.

He comes to me to take his diaper off, and tells me that he's pooped (even if it's just pee, he says he pooped)..and we've been letting him run around naked, during the day, in hopes that he will use the potty chair on his own, well, instead of using the potty chair, he will bring me a diaper and lay down...So he's showing signs of being ready, and he even brings his potty chair to me and says "Pee pee" but once he's siting on it, he won't go, 2 min. later, after he's in a diaper, it's wet, and he's asking to have it taken off.

how can i get him to start using the potty chair?

My 22 month old doesn't seem to be showing any signs of readiness.

I heard that they have to be able to say/signal to you when they are about to go that is when it is time.

I do not want her to go in the potty, I have a small padded seat which fits over the toilet, I do not see the point in teaching the potty, then doing it again weaning off potty to toilet, or is that a mistake?

She watches when I go, I tell her toilet is for wee wee and when I change her pampers I take it to the toilet and drop it in and flush and tell her pooh pooh goes here.

She just doesn't seem to be getting it though. If i sit her down she cries.

I even started sitting in the bathroom reading a book to her so she gets used to being in there, but don't know if this would confuse the toilet message.

Any ideas, I don't want her to be 3 years old still in pampers.

My relatives are no help, they had their kids trained at 12months, and tell me I should just know when I'm her mother, no help.

We're at a stage now, where we're doing a star chart, but the final reward is a trip to Wiggles World. "only big boys can go to Wiggles World" big boys who dont wear diapers. Any thoughts?

Wiggles World is a new thing they have at some Six Flags.

Lately I have noticed that when asking for things she wil say:
"mummy can can can can can can can I please have a biscuit"
or "do do do do do you want to play"
Why is this, is it a phase/normal, is that a type of stutter its not a letter in a word it is the whole first word.
She is a lovely normal little girl, healthy and her speech has been quite advanced since an early age, should I be doing something about this now?

I need to find a toddler float that will actually keep my 2 year old son above the water. He has outgrown the little infant floats that have leg holes, he needs one that goes over the top that will keep him above water. Those life jackets don't really work because if you let go, he falls forward or backwards. I need to be able to let go for a second sometimes, or to just be able to hold on to him without actually holding him.

P.S. I have to order it off the internet, so if you know of a good online store that has stuff like this that would be very helpful also

I just moved into a first floor apartment and I quickly became aware of a child upstairs who constantly runs and stomps around the whole place, he/she bangs on the window and really makes A LOT of noise. We just moved in and haven't met our nieghbors upstairs yet and we're giving it a couple of days to see if this is normal and if there are certain times and things he/she does. I'm afraid to say anything at all becuase parents nowadays are so oftenly crude about these things and don't care. I'm know kids run and play and there is a certain noise level I have to accept being on the bottom floor, but it goes both ways- if you live on a second floor there are certain levels of noise you have minimize and be consciencious and considerate of. I'm not sure what to say- I'm not a mom yet but am due in less than 3 mos and will have an infant in the home. I want our conversation to be as effective as possible for our own peaceful living and for my baby girl. They know we're here, by the way.

My doctor says it is just a viral infection so to give her Immodium. They did some culture on her and it was normal with no bacteria. so just to give her immodium. She is miserable. She hasn't had milk in 10 days and her stool is so loose and it is full of mucus and is turning bright yellow which reminds be of bile from throwing up so much when you are sick. Can there be any other cause of this that the doctor missed that anyone has dealt with. thanks

My sister told me I'm over protective of my daughter. I don't feel I am. If I go to someone's house I like to make sure I can see her at all times. My sister said I should just let her go and play. I'm just afraid other people's houses won't be as child proof as mine (which my sisters isn't because she has open access to a set of stairs and my daughter LOVES stairs!). Do you think it's normal to want to watch her every move like that? When we're at home she runs all over the place because I know there is nothing she could break or get into. She's 15 months by the way.

Antibiotics are not good for children as they effect their immunity suystems. So how could we build a better immunity system in 2-3 yrs children so that they do not suffer from common cold, fever, chest congestion like things. Are there some special diet that strengthen the systems so that the children get stronger later in their lives.

how and when is right time to take away the pacifer and bottle? He is already drinking out a sippy cup with water in it. i have tried to give him juice but he wont drink it in the sippy cup. He will drink juice from a regular cup. i think he looks at his sippy cup as for water only and his bottle is for his milk. He does not take a bottle before bed. He has his last bottle around 4pm and then he drinks some water with his dinner around 6:30 and then after his bath. When i have put milk in his cup he just takes little sips from it and throws it across the room. He only really takes the pacifer at his naps and bed time. His molars are coming in so he has these crying episodes and he will go get his pacifer when he needs it. i just dont want it to be a bad experience.

What is the best way to protect a futon mattress from a baby or child's urine? My neighbors toddler loves to nap on my futon, which is fine with me, but she still has accidents. Right now I'm using a bed mattress pad but it doesn't fit well. What is used in Japan in hotels and in families with young children to protect against accidents?

She has felt quite warm for the past 3 days now (yesterday she felt cool but she has begun to feel warm again today). She is sleeping alot and although she is drinking a bit it's not as much as she used to. There are no spots or rashes on her body but she seems generally unwell and weary.

She's got an appointment today but I'm so worried.

What could be wrong?
