Like the PP said, they have a weight limit, and you also can't use them as a cosleeper once your LO can sit up and roll.  At that point you have to lower the mattress and use it like a pack-n-play.  My DD used the mini for...

My 14-month old has the same problem and has for several months.  In addition to the "P" foods mentioned above, we also give her flax oil every day.  I think it's about 1/2 tsp, but the pharmacist helped me calculate dosage...

We started parent-child swim classes when DD was six months, she she loved it!  I second some of the advice above, especially the quiet/empty pool if she seems scared.  I think my DD was more startled by the echoing noise and...

What great advice here!  You seem very attuned to your baby's needs (and your own), and it sounds like you're doing just fine!   I did want to add, since my baby is a few months older than yours, that somewhere around...

Element 2012, I wish I could tell you it has passed!  It's a little better - DD no longer wakes up crying.  And she's back to sleeping about a 3-hour stretch at the beginning of the night.  But she's still waking up...

I really just need to vent here and get some advice!  DD (12 months) has always been a crappy sleeper, but the past week has been total hell...  Instead of waking up every couple of hours to nurse quietly (which is disruptive...
