Most of the costumes are a bit too sexy for the family events we attend and I'm not a big fan of the scary or gross side of Halloween for kids.
For our family of three I have thought about a knife, fork and spoon, Wizard of Oz - Lion, Scarecrow, Tin-man, or mild mannered skeletons (black sweatshirt and pants with cartoony bones painted on them).
What have you come up with? Can't wait to hear your ideas!

We're happy to announce the launch of a new tool here at WebMD that we think our members will enjoy -- WebMD Answers .
While community is a place to get to know your fellow members and experts on a deep and supportive level, sometimes folks just want to ask a question and receive an answer. That's what WebMD Answers is all about.
Do you have friends that you've tried to get to join you here in community, but they feel they don't have the time to spend? Maybe Answers is a tool they can use for quick access.
Anyone can ask a question, and anyone can answer a question. Experts, partner organizations, staff and moderators will also be responding to some questions.
We invite you all to go in and check it out today. If you have any questions about this new tool, post them here and we'll try to help you out.

The trials and tribulations of changing sleep patterns can make everyone overtired and frustrated!
To connect with more moms of tiny little ones, also post your question on our Baby's First Year Community.
Here is a great resource to check out (Caution: Turn volume down if baby is sleeping near you, there is sound on this link.)

This does sound concerning and I can understand how talking to a friend about their child can be touchy.
Has your friend followed up with the pediatrician about biting and shaking? Could you suggest you both sit down and put together a list of concerns that you both notice to talk with the doctor about?
Maybe print out developmental milestones for all the kids in your house. See this resource for some ideas and suggestions -

Our members in the other Parenting Communities may have thoughts and suggestions. Check them out to see the different age groups and members.
Hoping your friend listens and explores what's going on. You are a great friend for being concerned.

First of all, congratulations on the birth of your daughter!

One piece of advice I heard - When the newborn is crying or fussing and you are playing with your older child. Look over to the infant and say "I'm sorry I can't get you right now, I'm playing with your sister. I will be there in 3 minutes." The older child will feel important at that moment and not as upset when you leave to pick up the newborn.
Our members in our Parenting: 3 Year Old Community may also have suggestions. Please repost your concerns over there for more response.
Be sure to check back in to let us know how things are going,

Your concerns landed in our Parenting Community and unfortunately our experts and members here do not have the expertise to answer your questions.
I see you also found one of our other communities and hope you will follow up with your doctor and therapist to address your concerns and work on treating these behaviors.
To point you in the direction to research symptoms/problems of the overuse of bleach, overdosing and poisoning, I found this--

Also, WebMD has this information about OCD -

She does sound like she is uncomfortable, I am sorry to hear she has been struggling with this.
If this is interfering with her daily activities please do contact your doctor to have this evaluated. It may be helpful to create a journal (similar to this or this one ) to see if you can see a pattern, food or activity that is associated with this.
Please let us know what you find out and how she is doing.
Hoping you find answers soon,
