My son hasn't always been the best sleeper, we've gotten into a good groove for the past year or so, with the occasional nap/sleep strike.  But he's screaming, talking and crying a lot at night, and DH will go in to rub his back,...

I second the book "Happiest Toddler on the Block."  It has been invaluable for my and my now 27 month old, who at your son's age was doing pretty much the same things as yours.  I was so frustrated and guilt-ridden and had no...

Hm, I have a 27-month old son and he does something similar, I think.  I'm not familiar with echolalia, but my son repeats lines from his favorite books, movies, songs, or recent conversations all time.  Sometimes he wants me...

Oh boy, I hear you, Mama!  We're encountering the same thing, he's almost a year old.  We've been doing part-time EC since about 4 months.  And up until around 10 months, I could probably count on one hand how many poopy...

I just started using a warm-mist humidifier which actually makes the room feel a bit warmer.  Oliver sleeps in long-sleeved pajamas, a muslin blanket swaddled under his arms, and a blanket on top.  He runs warm, though, like...
