My DS is almost 21 months old and he has never slept more than 3 hours at a time since he was 4 months old. Prior to that he had gone for 6 hours but at 4 months he started more frequent waking. He still generally wakes every 1-2...

Night Bfing does not cause cavities by itself. If there are food particles left on the teeth then it might. But as long as the teeth are brushed well before bed, the breastmilk should not cause any decay. You can wipe his teeth or pop...

I use the third person a lot but try to throw in the first person now and then too (I'll say, "Hitting hurts Momma. It hurts me."). I think I use "Momma" instead of "Me" mostly because I spend nearly all...

I think it does depend on the child. My DS is 20 months old and I almost never have to offer. He signs for milk at least once an hour if not more. I do offer, as a PP said, if he seems to be distracted or out of sorts. But he has...

My DS is 19 months and has maybe 4 words and two of them are not real words, just words he uses. He is heavily into signing right now (has over 50 signs he uses regularly) so he is communicating just fine with us. Our doc is...

Before my DS was born (June 2007) I had imagined we'd start planning for baby #2 after about a year or so. But we are waiting waiting waiting (even though I would love for him to have a sibling) Reasons? 1) DS is still not big on...

My DS was completely uninterested in solids at 6 months. He did not really start tasting until 12 months and then wasn't interested in actually eating until about 15 months. I was worried for a while that he might have some oral motor...
