Toddler & Preschooler - October 2007

So, my daughter is starting to stand up on her own as long as she has a table or something to pull up from and hold on to. She's 11 months old. My wife and I are worried that she will be tempted to learn how to walk, and we are scared that she will fall down. How can I prevent her from attempting to walk until she is a little older, like at least four or five?

My son has always had the option of using the seat that fits on the toilet or his potty chair and has always chosen his potty chair. I didn't push one over the other, only encouraged him to use what he preferred (in hopes of succeeding in potty training).
I've never gagged from changing a diaper or pull up but I'm having a hard time cleaning his potty tray when he's finished (maybe the pregnant nose?). I want to introduce him to the seat on the toilet and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, tips, or advice?

Also, when did your boy start standing to pee?

(He's 2 years and 8 months old and completely potty trained... if the potty chair counts, lol.)

These are some chores I found that he can do, I want to make a chore chart, what else can you think of?

This is not for any reason to make him do MY Job, or to have him do all in one day, I will narrow it down to just a few and for all the days of the week
Some chores 2-3 year olds can do…
Help make the bed.
Pick up toys and books.
put cloths into laundry basket
put dirty cloths into laundry
Help wipe up messes.
Dust with socks on their hands.
drink my milk
Brush teeth
Put clean cloths
Shoes
Empty dishwasher

I believe my 4 year old has aspergers. I am getting to the point where I am very fed up and would like to have him diagnosed and perhaps get some major help.

I live in the Chicago area and am having a hard time finding a good doctor who specializes in this. Can anyone give me any names/numbers/websites that I can go to to try and find a doctor?

Thanks.

I've skipped my second period in a row now. There was some spotting last month though. My daughter is 18 months old and still a very motivated nurser lol. She only eats normal foods 2-3 times a day, if I'm lucky!

I got my period back actually but sometimes it's late or weak etc. Could it be because she nurses more than a few months ago?
I am not pregnant.

My little niece is 16 months old and has never been a good sleeper. She had reflux as an infant and for as long as I can remember, she wakes up once or twice at night screaming.She does this every night. She'll scream and cry for about 15/20 min. Sometimes longer. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Are these night terrors? It's hard to get solid sleep since you anticipate her waking up every night. Thanks

After I gave birth I weighed 125 pounds. Now, 18 months later, I'm down to 107 (5'4 tall). Is this normal? I eat really good and enough. My daughter nurses throughout the day and at night, too. She also eats table food. My thyroid is ok.

it wasnt the first time she had done it and i certainly didnt tell her off - infact i thought it was quite amusing, i took her out of the bath, emptied it, refilled and put her back in. But for nearly 2 weeks now she has been getting very distressed in the bath - pointing to something that isnt there and crying when in the water whilst pointing to her bits.
Obviously she needs to bathe but i hate seeing her so distressed and dont want to make it worse! Any ideas or anyone had similar experiences?

My 3 year old grandson has always been a bit "labor intensive" and "high maintenance". What I mean is, as an infant, he was much "needier" ( ie: couldn't lay him down to sleep, he wanted to sleep in my arms... and as a toddler, would wake during the night and want me to rock him). He isn't near as self entertaining as my daughters were. He is really a sweet, loving, and smart boy, but... he now seems to be getting really "wild". He is so rough! Sometimes, if I know he is in one of his wild moods, I better get out of his way! He'll run me down! I'm getting discouraged because I notice that I am losing patience with him and am raising my voice... a lot! I don't want to be hollering at him, especially since it doesn't do any good. If I try to get down on his level and talk to him, he's just wiggling around and laughing, and acting silly. Sometimes he is so fueled up I wonder what on earth he ate. I want him to have some self control. How do I handle him?

They have the harnesses for kids under 40lbs and just use seat belts for the older kids.

I see a few of the more expensive models recline, wondering if anyone has one that does and is easy to use. We tried one that didnt, the kids (2&3) year old had a horrible time napping, so want one that does.

I'm taking my 20(almost 21) month old and my 3 year old niece that lives with me to a small wedding (they were invited, it's their cousin's wedding) and the reception after (It'll be for only 3 hours. Ceremony: 11:00 AM, Reception:12:30 PM)

I was wondering how I should perpare them for behavior. They'll be wearing their best dresses and a lot of people will be cooing over them and I want them to behave. Help!

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking about buying a wagon for my kids (3 yr old and 8 month old). At walmart.com, they range in price from $50-$140.

What features should I look for in a double kids wagon? Also, if you own one, do your kids enjoy it? Where do you use the wagon (park, camping, walks, mall, etc)?

Thanks for the advice.

I have 3 year old twins. My daughter is in panties already, with accidents that are few and far between. My son, however, isn't going potty. It's really frustrating, because I want to get him potty trained already!!
Does anyone have any tips on what I could do to make this happen? Right now, I have him in undies and I'm taking him to the potty to sit every 15 minutes or so.

OK well my almost 6 month old daughter is really big!!!! My ped said she is healthy, but she is getting close to being over weight... She is 21.12 lbs and 27 1/4 in long... Yah I told u she was HUGE!!! LOL she is in 12-18 month old clothing... Now my ped said she is healthy (I got a 2nd opition just to make sure) and that she is a big girl, so she will need to eat more... Now my daughter opens her mouth wide for solid foods, she is sitting up all by herself, and she loves to pull up and stand up... So development wise she is far ahead, but I am not sure if she is over feeding herself or what.. now she will tell you when she is full, but I think her problem is that she eats so fast that she does not feel when she is full... SO I am going to try an experment and I want some advice.... My daughter was eating 5 2nd stage jars of food and 16-24oz of formula plus some cereal.. LOL yah I know a lot... my ped said it was ok because she was a big girl and she asked 4 all of it...
