Need Creative Idea for a Teddy Bears Name for Child Who Had Surgery

When my son was 1 he fell into his grandma's coffee table and we had to get stiches in his eye brow. At the emergency room they gave him a Teddy Bear while they stiched him up. So, Teddy Bear got the name "Stitch" which always stays in his bed. Then at 3 he had to have his tonsils removed and received another bear, which recieved the name "Tonsi" and this bear too has styed in our sons bed everynight to sleep with. Both my children had surgery yesterday; my son tubes put in his ear and my dd tonsils and adnoids removed. Both...

Urgent - Seeking Advice on Monitoring Home Care Worker

Hi! My Mom, My best friend, is very ill. She requires 24 hour care and is now unable to speak or effectively communicate, much like a baby. I am extremely concerned, I am actually sick over this, but I am not sure how her current aide is treating her. This is a desperate feeling and I need to do something quickly without making matters worse. Maybe I am wrong here, the aide seems pleasant enough, but something is just not sitting right with me. I am asking if anyone has any information regarding a good system for video monitoring of...

Bedtime Routine Getting Worse for 2-Year Old

Moms, my LO is driving me crazy during bedtime (and naptime). He wants one more book, some water, some more water, some lotion, one more song, etc. etc. It goes on and onand now I feel like it takes an hour to get him to bed when it used to take 10 minutes. Of course if I say no, he throws a fit. And I'm so tired by the end of the day that usually I just give in. But it's getting worse. I know the obvious answer is to put a stop to it and let him cry if he needs to. I'm just curious if your 2-year olds are doing this too - how long is your...

Transitioning from a Crib to a Bed - When??

Hi all! I have a 25 mo old daughter. She sleeps in her crib for naps and at night. She rarely cries at night (knock on wood) and sleeps all the way through...once she gets to sleep! We are considering transitioning her into a big girl bed, but realize there's no real push either. She falls asleep almost immediately for her naps - maybe within 5 minutes - BUT - at night - I lay her down and she plays for up to 45 minutes - not sits and plays - throws herself from one side of the crib to the other. Stomps at the wall- throws her stuffed...

Scared to Sleep in Own Bed

Please don't judge me until you have been there. My 11 year daughter will not sleep in her bed anymore. She's the only child left at home. 1 year ago we stayed in a hotel out of town, and some guy tried to break in at 3:30 am. He was yelling alot of profanities and threats. The police got the guy ( who was High and Drunk) but now our daughter thinks someone will come thru her window and get her. Help, Mary

How Do I Stop My Kids from Coming up and Sleeping with My Wife and I?

Every night around 2am at least one (if not both - 5 and 3 year old) of my kids come up with their blankets and teddy bears looking for a spot in our bed. I've been trying to understand why they are coming up (bad dream), then i take them back down to their room, comfort them and put them back to bed. This strategy is about 50% successful.

Nursery Decoration Ideas

Hi all, I'm 14 weeks pregnant with my and my husband's first child, and I'm already thinking about decorating a room for the baby. We don't intend to find out the sex of the baby--we want to be surprised! That said, does anyone have any ideas that an essentially untalented mommy-to-be could pull off with not too much effort?? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

How Hard Should It Be to Get a Baby to Take a Pacifier?

I would like to be a able to use a pacifier with my 2-month-old daughter, but she usually spits it out. My mom had some success with getting her to take it in the first month and after she left, I tried to continue with it with mixed results. Now my baby seems to reject it every time. When my son, who is now three, was a baby he acted like he was going to gag on the pacifier, so I stopped using it pretty quickly. This caused him to be more dependent on me and wanting to breastfeed constantly. I'd like to try to avoid this with my...

Newborn Won't Sleep Anywhere but on Us

Hi, I have a one week old little boy and he will not sleep in his bassinette, crib, swing, papasan chair - anywhere but on us. I sleep sitting up in a glider with him laying on me. No it's not the safest way to sleep and not what I intended at all, but I am at a loss. The pediatrician thinks it will get better and to put him in the crib while he's awake so he gets used to it, but he immediately starts crying, even when I put him in there when he's dead asleep - he'll wake up crying within minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated,...

Eating Breakfast on the Go!

My daughter just runed 4 years old. I have a hard time to get her to eat breakfast in the morings before we go to Preschool. She will say that her stomach hurts, (which to me is saying it hurts becasue I'm hungry) but when I try things for her to eat quickly, or eat on the go, she won't eat. We've tried cereal bars, breakfast sandwiches, pop-tarts,and dry cereal in a bag. She won't eat them. I don't have enough time to have her sit down and eat cereal in the morings, besides she takes so long to eat anyways. My Husband and I eat...

2 Year Old Sleep Problems - Please Help

Hi. My almost 2 year old is having sleep problems and I m 8.5 months pregnant and nearly going insane from it. She will wake up and scream and cry all night. All she wants is to come into our bed. Nothing else helps - comforting, crying out, milk, etc. When she goes to grandma's house she sleeps like an angel all night long, so something is going on with us. She comes into our bed sometimes to cuddle in the morning or throughout the day. I don't know what to do. Crying out has worked before (takes days and days) but now I am going crazy bc...

Hi there... this is totally new to me... so please be patient. I have recently started babysitting my 4 year old godson.

My son got mad... but my godson says (about every 5 mins or...

28 Month Old Suddenly Won't Go to Bed

We have been so lucky for 28 months. Our daughter has gone to bed like clockwork with no complaints. Except for a brief weening of the pacifier just before her 2nd birthday, she has just about always gone right down and slept through the night. 2 nights ago, though, she began screaming and grabbing me, begging me not to put her in bed. I calmed her down, and walked out only to hear her ramp up and start bawling again. I waited a few minutes and went in and held her to calm her down. But as soon as I put her in bed, the screaming started...
