Hi, We have a 15 month old that has started hitting (slapping) when he gets angry. We try to redirect him, or physically take his hand and show him gentle stroking when he hits and we say "be gentle, gentle hands" This sometimes works and sometimes not. Sometimes he will then pat or stroke the...

how do I keep him from throwing food whenever he wants? If he doesn't like it he throws it. We give him a firm no, and take all food away once he starts throwing it, but it doesn't stop it from happening the very next meal. Thanks jojo

i'm wondering what activities you do/did with your 15 month old during the day, especially for a very active/busy toddler. can you outline a typical day when you are at home for most of the day? -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02

My 15 month old daughter's appetite has cut to half since a week or so and I am looking for tips on getting it back. She was eating biscuits, cereals, fruits (mostly other sweet stuff) and some rice, soup etc. This was probably twice a day. I was in the process of increasing her intake of solid...

My 15 month son is generally a very mellow kid. Recently he has begun screaming/screeching at near the top of his lungs. My wife and I believe he is frustrated because he is talking/babbling but not easily understood and looking for attention (hard to believe he needs more than he gets) so we...

How can I get my 15 month old to eat table foods? He eats his jar food just find but not table food. We've tried everything - diced fruits and veggies but he won't eat it. I tried cooking food, the Gerber Graduates stuff, Beech-Nut table time and he doesn't eat it. He'll only eat stage 2 jar...

He is growing so fast. Question: His head circumference has always been off the chart (my partner can attest to this, even at birth :-)) My Pedi has absolutely no concern about this, and says he just has "lots of brains, ha ha". otherwise, he is in the 50th percentile on everything else. Since...

Hello All I have a 16 month old . He walks and immitates a lot of things ( like recently he started "typing" on the PC keyboard and pretends to move mouse and looks at the monitor. Well having said that all he says is "da-da" , duck ma-ma ca-ar, etc. and all the babbling. but he does not speak...

For the past week our 16 month old son has been waking up screaming, usually within an hour or two of going down. He is just starting to pull up and has recently learned to push himself up from lying on his stomache. He is excited about these things and he doesn't nap as much because of it....

At DD's 15 month Well Baby Visit, her pediatrician made a very big issue of the fact that DD will only eat baby food. I'm looking for advice concerning this. DD (1 week shy of 16 months now) has only 2 teeth, and she only got them 1 month ago. I understand that babies can mash food up with their...

Hi, I had a question for everyone. My 17 month old DD is developing quite well in most areas, but our last WBV hs made me upset. Our pediatrician (who I think will no longer be our Pediatrician after this visit!) proceeded with quite a tirade at our last visit because DD is still eating jarred...

Hi, Obviously we have a 17 month old and a cat. whenever DS can get away with it, he will grasp her tail really hard and not let go. We have tried removing (prying) his hand from the cats tail, opening his hand and helping him pet gently. This is where we say things like "we use gently hands to...

My 18 month old daughter does not like going into her car seat. Every morning and night it is a struggle to get her into the car seat. She goes all rigid and screams and shouts and makes it impossible to get her strapped in. It is a forward facing Childs car seat on the back seat. The only way we...

Hi, Just had our DD at the Peds for WBV and am a little upset. My DD isn't walking yet and while I freely admit that a majority fo babies do, I'm really not concerned for her. Our Pediatrician, on the other hand is. She wants us to see a specialist to evaluate DD for delays. I have no...
