Need Creative Idea for a Teddy Bears Name for Child Who Had Surgery

When my son was 1 he fell into his grandma's coffee table and we had to get stiches in his eye brow. At the emergency room they gave him a Teddy Bear while they stiched him up. So, Teddy Bear got the name "Stitch" which always stays in his bed. Then at 3 he had to have his tonsils removed and received another bear, which recieved the name "Tonsi" and this bear too has styed in our sons bed everynight to sleep with. Both my children had surgery yesterday; my son tubes put in his ear and my dd tonsils and adnoids removed. Both...

Bedtime Routine Getting Worse for 2-Year Old

Moms, my LO is driving me crazy during bedtime (and naptime). He wants one more book, some water, some more water, some lotion, one more song, etc. etc. It goes on and onand now I feel like it takes an hour to get him to bed when it used to take 10 minutes. Of course if I say no, he throws a fit. And I'm so tired by the end of the day that usually I just give in. But it's getting worse. I know the obvious answer is to put a stop to it and let him cry if he needs to. I'm just curious if your 2-year olds are doing this too - how long is your...

Transitioning from a Crib to a Bed - When??

Hi all! I have a 25 mo old daughter. She sleeps in her crib for naps and at night. She rarely cries at night (knock on wood) and sleeps all the way through...once she gets to sleep! We are considering transitioning her into a big girl bed, but realize there's no real push either. She falls asleep almost immediately for her naps - maybe within 5 minutes - BUT - at night - I lay her down and she plays for up to 45 minutes - not sits and plays - throws herself from one side of the crib to the other. Stomps at the wall- throws her stuffed...

2 Year Old Not Sleeping in Own Bed

My son just turned 2. He was not sleeping in his crib anymore so we bought him a toddler bed that he loved for a few nights. Now (a week later), I lay in his room at night to help him fall asleep, then when he is asleep, I leave his room. He will then wake up anywhere from 1-3 hours later crying. My husband and I give him some time to cry, then we end up going in there with him to help him fall back asleep in his bed. He refuses to lay down and wants to go downstairs or into our room (we won't bring him downstairs, but do end up...

2 Qs...Bouncers And Teddy Bears.

SOOOO.... 2 questions... 1~ My DD is 3 months old. Is this too young to get her a bouncer? I want to get one of those activity bouncers...She can sit on her own (she needs help getting there... but once she's sitting she is good.) and has excellent head control... She also loves to "stand" for up to 5 minutes at a time. (she is standing on her own, just uses us for balance. lol) She has a floor gym that she likes... but she gets MAD if she is laying down too long. She wants to be sitting or standing. We put her in her bouncy chair, but...

2 Year Old Sleep Problems - Please Help

Hi. My almost 2 year old is having sleep problems and I m 8.5 months pregnant and nearly going insane from it. She will wake up and scream and cry all night. All she wants is to come into our bed. Nothing else helps - comforting, crying out, milk, etc. When she goes to grandma's house she sleeps like an angel all night long, so something is going on with us. She comes into our bed sometimes to cuddle in the morning or throughout the day. I don't know what to do. Crying out has worked before (takes days and days) but now I am going crazy bc...

Help with 16 Month Old Hitting Mom When Getting Disciplined

Hello Everyone, This is my first post and people always get such wonderful advice I thought I might try to get some advice too. My 16 month old son has started to hit me when I discipline him. He doesn't hurt me or anything but I don't want this habit to continue. I mean it has gotten to the point if I tell him "no" he will stop what he is doing to come over and hit me for disciplining him. I am at a lot as what to do. When I tell him not to hit me he "feels" bad (lip pout and all) but will do it again anyway. Any tips would be great!
