I took in my son for his 9 month old check up and his pediatrician told me to switch him over to whole milk and start giving him table food at 10 months. I was shocked to hear this, especially of the milk. I heard that Whole milk is started at 12 months. His pediatrician said that my son was ready for the switch. I guess I will then.

• I am just curious to know if any one switch over at 10 months, 12 months or maybe even earlier or older.

My son is three and a half and this is his first year of preschool. We had his first parent teacher conference. His teacher gave me this piece of paper with 100+ things that he should know how to do. Some of them included hoping on one foot, walk across a balance beam, awareness of group rules, hold a pencil, calm body, write first and last name, indicate number of phonemes in a word, days of the week, demonstrate book knowledge (author, editor). etc. Well he got a P grade on everything for progressing which means he doesn't quite know how to do these things. Is it normal for a school to be grading three year olds on this kind of stuff? I wasn't told anything positive just things that he couldn't do. The teacher was also concerened that he couldn't go down the twisty bar at the play ground? Should I be worried or is this a bit extreme? I did not feel good about this meeting at all. Please be honest are these normal things that three year olds should be doing?

were trying to switch from formula to cows milk now. i normally would feed her 6 ounces of formula, then a meal right after, but then it didnt matter how much food she ate because she got all the nutrition from formula. so now, when i offer her whole milk before a meal, she'll drink it, but then will hardly eat her food. I know she has to at least have 17 ounces of milk per day. plus, i do give her a vitamin every morning. so,....any ideas on how to handle this?

Well, my husband started one with our son where every birthday he gets a box of baseball cards. He's three now and has three boxes, naturally. He won't get them to open until he's 12. I want to do something similar for my daughter. She's only 3 months old now, but I can't come up with anything and since you guys have helped before, I'd like some ideas. Thanks.

My daughter has had a fever for 4 days now. the first day her fever was at 101 and gave her childrens tylenol.. So then the next morning her fever went up to 102.6 so then i took her to urgent care that morning. I have also gave her childrens tylenol that morning too and when we got there they took her temp and they said that her temperature was normal 98.6 (because of the med.) well the doctors said that she ok and that its just a viral infection. and just to keep giving her med. So later that afternoon i went back to work. I had to get off early again cuz her temperature went up 103.7 that evening so then i took her to the ER. when we got to the ER they took her temp her temp was still in the 103 range and they had gave her motrin. After waiting in the ER they had directed me to urgent care (the same place i went that morning) and they told me the same exact thing.. that my daugher was fine she has a normal temp of 98.6 and right there i knew that they were lying cuz i took her temp

My son is 28 months old and has just in the past 2 weeks developed excessive whining over everything! It drives me nuts but even more so than that makes me feel like there might be something wrong that I'm missing, I have had him in earlier this week and they found a very minor ear infection but that was it. He will whine about what we play, how we play, if I tickle him, just weird things that he usually enjoys, now he whines and tells me no. This is my 1st child so I was hoping some other parents could give me imput on if this is a new "stage". Thanks

How do I get my 16 month old son to eat more slowly? He crams his food in all at once. Then, his mouth is too full and he spits out big gobs of food. Any advice aside from feeding him myself or only putting one piece of food on the plate at a time?

I'm due with my second baby in two weeks. He is very excited about the baby and we have a positive home environment. He decided he was done with diapers a week before his second birthday. Until the last three weeks he has had about five accidents total in the last year and a half. I don't want to make him feel bad as I know this kind of thing is fairly common (regression before a new sibling arrives) but I'm running out of sheets. I'd appreciate any suggestions that don't include humiliating him.

My daughter is almost 4 years old. She was born in end Dec. Next year she is going to Kindergarden 1. My wife n I start worry cos she not even know how to recognise 1 to 10, A to Z, colour like red, yellow, green etc..She can't even do the painting/colouring properly using crayon, always colour out of drawing object, she likes to just scribble with crayon.

she is now in childcare last year and going to kindergarden 1 next year 2008 and cant pick up all the skills i mentioned above. Her childcare mates are all able to do that. Her teacher feed back is still fine, but need more practises

People mentioned child born in Dec is a bit slower than others. No idea is true or not. Is there any efficeint teaching technique or any suggestion we can adopt to improve this situation. Some says let it be, children tends to learn when reaching certain stage

I am currently giving him more food with iron to see if Ii can increase the iron in his blood but is there anything else I can do to help him besides give him that medicine. I even tried giving him a ower dose but it still upsets his stomach. Any advice?

My dtr is in preschool and she always answers I don't know when it comes to "what color is tha?t" She gets some right, like yellow and pink. She can sing her abc's with help and barely knows her numbers. She happens to be very small 25 pounds, and 10% in her height. She wasn't born premature. She was suppose to be born in Jan 05 but she was a c-section baby and born in Dec 04. I am not sure if the kids in her class are just older and she is a bit behind. I know, I know, it's only preschool, but I have no idea, what an average 2-3 year old should know by now. The teachers aren't exactly great.
