any suggestions for a strong headed boy with tooth brushing. I have even tried to hold him down, but the crying makes me feel bad it just destroys the whole evening.View Thread

Good luck with the new daycare.View Thread

thanks again.View Thread

Any suggestions to help?
the treatment I am doing is not working or sustaing it like I used to.
I wash all clothes in dreft and rinse cycle twice. And I wash his bed sheets one a week in hot water. No fabric softner or dryer sheets. I put mostly 100% cotton on him. He seems to flare up at daycare more. He plays allot in the sand there and I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.View Thread

I have an 18 month, few days shy of being 19 months. I got him into a well-known daycare where we ;ive. I switched 2 times until he got here. They are teachers and they do allot of activities with the toddlers, music, art, body mechanincs, etc. They have a strict schedule and each classroom has their schedule posted on the wall. I am happy with the place, but I am a lttile concerned about just one thing. They don't start putting the toddlers down for the nap until about 1:30ish in the afternoon. Which makes the kids fall asleep about 2pm. The schedule is posted to nap from 2-3:30pm, but they start getting them on their cots about 1:30pm and start to sooth them all to sleep.
SO overall, my son gets about an 1hr. 15 min. to 1hr. 30 min per day. At home, he will sleep 2 hours in the afternoon, sometimes three on the weekends. Hegoes to daycare M-F.
He goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps till 7:30-7:45am.
Is this the norm for daycare naps at this age? I wish they would start at 1pm. so they would nap from 1-3pm, but I have not said anything yet. I did express my concern at the beginning and the teahers said that he the kids look tired they start earlier, but I do not think this os happening.
Is this detrmental to my child's overall well-being? I am real anal about his sleep. He seems a little more dramatic and fussy durning the week, than on the weekend. Is this just because he is really stimulated from all the activities at daycare or not napping anough at daycare or just letting out his fellings because he has to do what they say during the day and he can be himslef with mommie?
I am going to drop a suggestion about the naps in the suggestion box at the daycare, but I think the schedule will remain the same as they have a lot of toddlers who go part time and leave at noon.
Any thoughts or similiar experiences out there?View Thread


I have a 16 month old and I am pregnant. I am getting a little nervous about how this is going to work with two in the mornings. I want to breastfeed as long as possible even when I return to work
Currently, my husband takes our son to daycare, while I go in early to work. That way I can get off early and pick my son up and spend a little extra time with him in the afternoons.
If I breastfeed our baby, I will not be able to go into work early, because he or she will probably need to feed in the morning.
i think i might try to go part time if my boss allows it.
Any advice would help.
thanksView Thread


My 13 month got his vaccine MMR and varicella 2 weeks ago. About 4 days ago he started being real emotional and grumpy. he does not even walk the same. I am starting to worry. He threw up last thursday. No fever though. Is this just a mild reaction. I of course got on the internet and read the links about the MMR and autism, even though it is been proven worng, it just scares me. He is normally a very happy baby and was hitting all the milestones on time.
First time mom and worried. Any advise or past experiences?View Thread
