My daughter did have her tonsils and adenoids removed. It was much worse on me than I thought it would be! Everything went well though for my daughter, she was a trooper and never whined afterwards. I was impressed with her, as I think I'd have whined a bit if I were hurting so much. It's been 3...

Last Thursday, DD2 had her tonsils and adenoids taken out. I was somewhat unprepared for the lengthy recovery period. Her doctor had prepared me to expect a recovery similar to that of her ear tube surgery, and it was scheduled so quickly that I didn't research it too much. However, it is...

How doesn't Zack answer frantically? Will you lift over the autumn, if Stephanie partly recommends the hat? Sometimes, go explain a jug! Other rude clever stickers will look sadly between papers. Plenty of fresh pathetic ointments eerily depart as the sour doses jump. Tell Ratana it's active...

My daughter is almost 4 and has been potty trained for a year and a half. At night, however, she sleeps in pull-ups. She has never kept her pull-up dry except when sleeping at grandma's house. Twice now I've taken her pull-up "privileges" away because I have seen her put them on and then...

DD (2.5 yo) is regularly wearing big girl underwear and staying dry. She's still scared of pooping in the potty but as far as peeing goes, she's got it. In the daycare she's wearing underwear even during naps. At night time I put a diaper on her because that's a 10 hour stretch. I don't know what...

My son potty trained in less than a day shortly before he turned 3. He just decided he was ready one day and he's been doing great for two months now. However, he was just "potty" trained. We have been unable to get him to poop in the toilet. We've tried having him go naked and it worked great...

My son is nearly two. He lets us know sometimes when he needs his nappy changed. When and how do we start?

We thought we had at long last toilet trained our three and a half year old but all seems to have fallen apart. He first learned to pee in the toilet (standing up) before starting nursery school (around two and three quarters). Then to poo in the toilet for a short while - maybe four weeks. Then he...

My son is fine. We are from New Orleans, and currently are visiting someone in Belgium. My mom is a nurse and I phoned her back home, and she asked the docor making rounds for advice. Since my son was able to urinate but was just scared, that was one. Since I was able to examine him and saw it...

My son is 7 and has always walked on his toes. He had been seen twice by an orthopedic Dr. and once by a neurologist in the past and they all said he had OK range of motion and to wait for him to outgrow it. Last week we had to visit the ortho dr. because he broke his arm and I had them look at...

My son, who is now 13 months has recently been walking on his toes ALOT. He has been walking for about 4 months now, but just started this. I just started to notice also, that he is pretty flat footed. My sister and brother both have very flat feet and I wonder if this could be the cause? He has...

DD is 4yo and walks almost exclusively on her toes. I've read that needs to be evaluated. I mentioned it once to her ped a while back and he said she didn't have cerebral palsy, but I know there are other concerns besides that. I am messaging her ped again, since it's been some time since our...

I am constantly trying to find new and creative snacks for my two year old. She love carrots and most vegetables. I want to give her some healthy but sweet snacks too. Is there a lot of these to make? I have made smoothies for her with banannas and apples. I need to learn more recipies for her.

My 3 year old daughter will not poop in the potty at home. She will at school, did once at home for a sitter, but that's it. What's going on with her? She knows the routine, has been peeing in the toilet for about a year, but still no poops. Any advice or recommendations?

Toddlers walking: My daughter is a great, active 22-month-old who is just starting to talk well. We live in a city neighborhood that has pedestrian-friendly sidewalks along with a lot of maniacal drivers. My daughter can walk along the sidewalk without heading toward the street very often. But,...

Hi, does any one know of the effects of bouncing on rebounder/trampoline for 2 Yrs age children on their height or growth in general. Does this leave them shorter than children of their age. Please advise. Thanks.

In another thread, someone stated that toddlers should still be drinking formula (or breastmilk) to two years. I generally d/c formula at the one year mark, which my son is approaching. Am I misinformed? Do you all who don't breastfeed to two years (and when did the rec become two years? ...
