How Do I Stop My Kids from Coming up and Sleeping with My Wife and I?

Every night around 2am at least one (if not both - 5 and 3 year old) of my kids come up with their blankets and teddy bears looking for a spot in our bed. I've been trying to understand why they are coming up (bad dream), then i take them back down to their room, comfort them and put them back to bed. This strategy is about 50% successful.

7-Week Old Won't Sleep on Her Back

My little girl sleeps perfectly when I'm holding her...when I put her down, she screams. I know I'm being a wimp, but I spend many nights holding her all night so she doesn't cry. Sometimes I'm able to set her down when she's fast asleep - on her side or in the bouncer. If I place her flat on her back, she startles herself and wakes up - every time. She simply can't sleep on her back because she flails her arm and legs all over the place. Help! Anyone else ever experienced this? Does it get better? S I've tried swaddling, but she...

18 Mo and Not Eating

Hello everyone! I am desperate for some advice or other opinions. I was inspired to write in from reading the request and responses to Chantel's question. My daughter is 18 months old. We have only fed her pureed foods since she has had problems swallowing (she would gag and throw up with new textures.) But, with the help of a speech therapist, she has made great progress. She can now eat thicker, pureed/mashed foods with lumps and has proven to me that she can bite off and chew just about anything else. The problem is, she won't. I...

Sleepless Nights with a 13 Week Old

I have a 13 week old little girl. Her last feeding is around 11:30 pm - midnight. She hasn't been a great sleeper yet and lately she is waking around 3 am. She does not cry at first, kind of grunts and squirms. She seems to be frustrated from being swaddled. If I unswaddle her, her startle relfex is so strong that she can't go 5 mins without startling herself and then she can't sleep at all. After a few minutes of frustration she starts to cry. At that time I usually unswaddler her and lay her on her side and that pacifies her a bit. The...

Healthy Snack to Bring to Halloween Party

Hello Ladies! I am attending a Halloween party where we are serving only Healthy snacks. I was hoping that some of you might have some fun and interesting (but very easy to make, as there will be about 100 children there) healthy treats. I have only come up with Ants on a Log, but am not sure how many kids will want to eat celery!!!! Thank you all so much in advance. We have such a great group of moms here!

Planning My Son's First Birthday- Help Needed!!

My son is turning one in July and I am trying to come up with some good ideas. I'd like to get him a t shirt or something that says he's one and send out nice invitations. I don't like cheesy ones with teddy bears on them so I'm looking for something cool and hip. Any suggestions?

Eating Breakfast on the Go!

My daughter just runed 4 years old. I have a hard time to get her to eat breakfast in the morings before we go to Preschool. She will say that her stomach hurts, (which to me is saying it hurts becasue I'm hungry) but when I try things for her to eat quickly, or eat on the go, she won't eat. We've tried cereal bars, breakfast sandwiches, pop-tarts,and dry cereal in a bag. She won't eat them. I don't have enough time to have her sit down and eat cereal in the morings, besides she takes so long to eat anyways. My Husband and I eat...

Weaning from Breastfeeding

My daughter is 16 months old and still breastfeeding, in addition to eating 'adult' food. She can drink from a sippy cup or bottle, and has started drinking cow's milk at school. I don't mind still breastfeeding her at this age, but the frequency of it is driving me crazy. She will sometimes eat, stop, eat, stop, over and over. She just got over a fever that she had for several days, so I would get up when she cried at night because it was a pretty high fever and I did what I could to make her feel better. Of course last night, she kept...
