My little boy has had a bad cold for close to a week. I took him to the Dr. Friday and they said it was a just a bug. They don't generally rule it a sinus infection unless the cold sticks around for 2 or more weeks. I think it may be heading that direction, but not quite sure yet. Does anyone know what I can do to help my little guy? Already doing Tylenol. I feel so bad for him, he's so congested.
Thanks~

I'm looking for a toy that will help my nephew expand his vocabulary. He's four and we don't think there's anything wrong with him except that his speech is rather underdeveloped. He doesn't speak in many full sentences. He was hardly ever sick as a baby and the doctors have never said anything about it. My sister hasn't had him tested or anything but he seems fine. He responds well when I encourage him to speak more and understands what we say to him. My dad is the one who watches him most of the time but he does little to stimulate him. He sits him in front of the TV most of the time. Our family is bilingual so all the kids have had problems being late with speech but my nephew seems to be having the most trouble. I think its mostly because he got a little sister right around the time that most kids get talkative and he figured he'd get by better by acting like his baby sister speech-wise. Since Christmas is coming up I'd like to try get him a toy that will get him talking more.

So, here;s the thing..we live in a ONE bedroom apt.. we have a king size bed and then we made our son's crib into a toddler bed, hoping he would want to sleep there. NOPE, he wants the big bed. not only is he sleeping with us, the time he goes to sleep is later and later and there is a battle every night. Taking naps during the day is fine, however, he sleeps in our bed again. trying to get him in HIS bed, well, he screams and carries on and then pukes. i know we have to move asap. we are loooking. i am sure when we do move and he does get his own room, there will be adjustments. but for now, we all need sleep..HELP! please!!

My 2 1/2 year old daughter will not behave no matter what I do. I've tried timeout, corner, talking,spanking, begging and nothing works. It has gotten so bad that now I just sit and cry. I don't know what to do. It is important to me to be a great mom. What am I doing wrong?
Right now it is 10:20pm where I live and she refuses to go to sleep. I laid her down two and a half hours ago and I have been fighting with her ever since to go to bed and no matter what I do she refuses to go to bed. I am losing my mind! Please Help!

How did you tell when it was the right time to being weaning? I have an almost 15 month old, who still nurses before going to sleep, and first thing when she gets up in the morning... Also occasionally if she's not feeling well and doesn't show interest in eating anything else. I'm pregnant with twins, due in May, and so I've been hesitant to continue nursing my daughter. I've considered weaning her completely before, but I'm just not quite sure how to go about it, I have such a hard time telling her no. I can't find any other methods to get her to sleep... if I try to rock her she throws a fit until I nurse, she won't drink from a sippy cup at night, and I can't just let her cry... It doesn't work for me. Can you give me some advice?

My daughter (turns 4 on Tuesday) loves to be naked. She has even taken to sleeping in the nude, she'll put PJs on after the bath, but removes them when she's actually in bed. She only takes her clothes off at home, and has a pretty good idea of when it's inappropriate, like if company stops by or at the dinner table, she will get dressed at these times. I'm a little worried that it will escalate and I guess I'm looking for a little reassurance that she'll get over it. Is she too old at this point for a naked phase?
Thanking you in advance,
Flamingo.

my 2 year old has recently started stuttering, she is very intelligent,and can have a conversation, and is a very curious toddler,so everything else seems to be fine apart from her stuttering. I'm so worried this could be early signs of something serious.What can I do?

okay to do? She was watching my two daughters for several hours and when I came to pick them up her son was wearing the pretty dress my 5 year old daughter had arrived in. Apparently he kept flipping up her dress and laughing at the really silky panties she was wearing. I had packed a pants outfit for my daughter and extra undies so that is what she was now wearing. Anyway my poor cousin looked adorable in the dress and my daughters loved the fact that he was also wearing the girly panties. My sister in law thought that the punishmnet fit the crime but I still wonder what her hysband would have thought?
What do you think?

My son is 2 and he always wants to be naked. He always takes his cloths off and diaper. We are at home most of the time and normally just runs around in a t-shirt and his diaper. Lately he just wants to run around naked, which was cute at first but now is annoying, when i did let him run around he got a cold from being naked and cold. And i didnt let him run around like that anymore. But he still takes that diaper off and makes a run for it. I tryed to put in him his underware so he could have a break from those diapers, he doesnt want to sit on the potty and go. I dont know what the deal is with him. Anybbody else have this problem?

SO I have a 7 year old brother who loves wrestling.. for the last 2 months, everytime he's gotten mad at my mom, he's now been doing these wresting moves on her (keep in mind that he's 4'6 80 pounds and 7 years old... she's 5'7 170 pounds and 45 years old).. With these moves (slammin her into the wall, knocking her on the couch, etc.) also comes spitting in her face and calling her all kinds of unmentionable names.. and guess what??? after it's all said and done, she'll still fix him dessert after dinner and let him stay up till 10 o' clock to watch more wrestling.. she says this is her way of "cutting down on more problems," but I don't buy it.. Should I contact Nanny 911 or club her in the head until she gets some sense or what???

The Pediatrician says he is going through phases, but he is losing weight now. He was built like a linebacker before and has since thinned out. He eats and drinks little these days. Milk in AM, a couple of snacks during the days (his favorites pot chips and many fruits). Before bed milk and his vitamins. Its a struggle to get him to eat a main meal but now he is totally rebellious to the point he spits up the food. He was a good baby and ate everything before, but now we do not know what to do as he lost around 5 lbs. He has been brought to the Ped twice for this with same resulting answer. What is suggestions for encouraging him to eat normal meals? He probably only takes in a few hundred calories a day at most for the last 6-8 mos.

He has been begging for a cellphone for almost three years. He will be 10 in two weeks. Is this too young? Ever heard of the "kid safe phones" thru Verizon? How expensive is it compared to getting him a regular track phone and making him earn money to buy his own minutes?

tonight i took his temp to see if he was hot and the temp was reading at 35c/95F, to me that seems cooler than normal, so why is he feeling so hot when there are no signs of it? also i find when ever i get him dressed he always asked for short sleeves, and also when its a really cold day i fight to put a coat on him sometimes. is this temp normal?
