Last night my 15-month old son had a slight fever of 99 degrees. This morning, it was 102.5, but it came down to a normal 98.4 after two hours with a full dose of infants Tylenol and removing his shirt. Now he's back to about 99.5 after a three hour nap. He's eating fine, playing with his toys and crawling/walking fine, in good spirits, wetting diapers normally, and in good spirits otherwise. Could this just be the result of teething? He's not sick, swollen, rashy, or having loose stools/vomiting...

My son's favorite toy, My Own Learning Leap, is malfunctioning AGAIN. This is our third one. I called the manufacturer AGAIN and now they're saying they no longer make this toy.

My question is: what's a good replacement for it? I've considered that Elmo Knows Your Name doll, but I'm just SO SICK of Elmo.

Suggestions?

My son is nearly 2 and a half years old and i have been unsuccessfully trying to potty train him for a while now but he still doesnt seem to have the hang of it, if i take his nappy off he will hold his wee and then do ir all over the floor when he cant hold it anymore, i have already explored the possibility that he doesnt like the potty and brought him a toilet seat but he doesnt want to use that either. I am constantly reminding him about using the potty and trying to encourage him to sit on it so he doesnt forget
Does anyone have any tips for how i can use for trying to get him toilet trained

My three year old son is obsessed with Dora. We watch it at home occassionally, it does have some educational value, but he watches it mostly at the babysitters. My mother-in-law has really added to it I think, by buting him pink Dora blannkets, Dora dolls, Dora, cereal, and Dora cookies. At first i din't sem to mind, but then the fact that my little BOY is sleeping with pink Dora blankets and dolls everynight started to concern me. Is this a problem? Am I worrying too much? I have tried introducing Diege, the "boy version" of Dora, but most Diego stuff has Diego AND Dora. Is this appropriate for my son? My other son seems to be "all boy" and they don't have any sisters. Where is he picking up all this girly influence? he is also interested in my (his mother's) shoes, makeup, and such. What should I do?

my son is a TV addict! His eyes are glued to the TV at least 5 hours a day esp bedtime. he must watch his favourite DVDs before he agrees to sleep. if he doesnt get what he wants, he would throw a big tantrum and cries till he vomits. im the cause of the problem. i have been over-indulgent and gives in all the time. is it too late to stop this bad habit of ours? im on the verge of throwing away the tv and dvd player!!

My daughter had a little bit of one bottle on Thursday. That was her last. She has only had 1 -2 bottles of drinkable yogurt, some juice from a juice box and a few sips of milk from sippy cup. She only cried for about 20 minutes on Thursday night because she wanted her bottle after dinner. She is not one to have bottle to put her to sleep, only after meals and with snack.

I offer Next Step formula, juice, soy milk, water and drinkable yogurt and she hasn't taken too much of anything.

Will thirst eventually kick in and make her want to consume liquid given in any form (sippy, straw, adult cup)? I'm even drinking from a sippy hoping that she will want to imitate me. I even offer water in her bottle.

Will my daughter eventually drink liquids from sippy or straw? When should I start to worry?

(additional info...I have different types of sippy cups including nuby.)

He is 4. He loves his vacuum cleaner. Most little boys have a favorite blanket, toy, or teddy bear. Not him. It's an upright vacuum cleaner. He always pushes this thing around the house. If you take it away, he will cry. Should his parents be worried?
