Another thought would be to contact a counselor, maybe they can help you get to the bottom of his behavior. Is he in daycare? I know there is a physically abusive child in DD's class and so I've seen her hit the floor/wall now whenever she gets upset. She has to sit in TO for that b/c we want her to know that is not acceptible. After you punish DS, do you talk to him again about the behavior and why is was bad? This might help to reinforce it instead of him forgetting as soon as his punishment is over.View Thread








1) Mix the medicine with 2 oz of formula. You don't want to mix it with say 6 oz just in case he doesn't finish his bottle. I did this method with DD#1 as a baby whenever she need an medicine for a sickness.
2) Put the medicine in a nipple from a bottle, let him suck it out of there. If he spits it out using this method, then you might want to use the method of putting it in his formula. I use this with DD#2 b/c she takes Zantac every day for acid reflux and sometimes her dosage is due before the next feeding. She does great with this and my BFF started using this method to give her DD grape water for gas.
As far as the loss of appetite, could it be the thrush that is making his throat too sore to eat? I'd just offer smaller feedings more frequently until he feels better. If he's not eating at all, I'd call the pedi again.View Thread
