He does not understand No. I take his hands and tell him to touch gently. This is all in the same motion he does while sitting by himself. A kind of high to low slapping and now he does it when I old him etc. I am so afraid it is going to get worse.
any tips?View Thread
They have both surpased every expectation, They are now teething.
The little girl has 2 bottom front teeth through the gums, but they seem to be a yellow color? Anyone have any clues on the matter We just noticed since the first one came through last friday & the second is coming through this week?View Thread
I was thinking it had something to do with his 5th tooth coming in but nope.
Any of y'alls LO going through this?View Thread
I live in the Czech Republic, though am a Brit. I have a 9 month old boy called James. Recently, he had a fairly harsh round of flu, which left him sniffling and pulling at one ear. My wife took him to the doctor who sent him to an ENT. The ENT took a quick look, then, telling my wife to hold James tight, proceeded to pierce his eardrum!
Now, to me this seems really strange, but I am being told here by other Czechs that it is completely normal in this country. Can anyone please confirm to me that it really is?
Personally, I would've thought the doc should have given him a dose of antibiotics, and if he was to do something like that, then under controlled conditions, but nothing. He just went ahead and burst his eardrum.
Please, if anyone can help me understand if this is normal or not. I'm going crazy with worry here.
Thanks!

The only thing I could think of would be the size issue; meaning they daunting and large size could scare him.....OR that they don't sense them as a good person? (ok ok maybe I'm stretching the last one).
What do y'all think?View Thread

DS2 seems to be hitting all of his milestones faster than DS1. He has been crawling since 8 months (DS1 was 11 months), he has 5 teeth (DS1 was 11 months), and he just said his first word "Mama" (DS1 was 9 months and said "Dada" first). I think he will be walking earlier too (DS1 was 14 months). He already pulls himself up to his knees when he is trying to get into the toybox or Mega Bloks wagon. But he is still not sitting up. You can put him on the floor into a sitting position and he will immediately start crawling. Maybe the problem is that he doesn't want to sit still?
Over all he is a very good baby. The only time he really cries is if he is sleepy or hungry. He is eating more and more table food. And is doing much better with a sippy cup. I am so proud of all of his little accomplishments. He is a very happy baby and is so very lovable!View Thread
