Baby had sleep issues right from the beginning- very problematic, although nothing structurally is wrong.  Also, he had severe colic problems, and a very painful eczema condition.  So it was quite usual to only sleep for half...

Yes, that's so!  So I guess I have to model how someone reacts when they are suddenly slapped in the face!  Lol!  But I also would like to walk him through what HE should be doing, when he feels like hitting. ...

Baby Boy is 15 months old, and very intelligent and verbal.  However, he seems to run with a full head of steam, and when he gets frustrated, it seems he is always already on the brink.  He loves to say words and make signs,...

I went to the dr, and the dermatologist, but both said it was unrelated to food/ allergies (and I don't feel convinced about that), and the derm. said to use the steroid cream as needed- but that would be far too frequently!!  I...

Thankyou deminc, yes, I have been watching for triggers like a hawk!  : )  There are some I've figured out, like soaps, perfumes, chemicals (like the formaldehyde and flame retardants that are sometimes on clothing) but I...

deminc, is there a way to tell the difference between a flare-up with weepy swollen areas, and a persistent allergic reaction?  The rash is primarily on cheeks beside the mouth, and sometimes on lips and eyelids.  It isn't...
