Anyone use a "reward chart" to promote good behavior?
Started this discussion. Last reply by amynic Dec 26, 2012. 6 Replies 0 Likes
My son turned three just over a month ago and I'm already starting to see what everyone says about the "terrible twos" being nothing compared to the threes. :) Overall I really can't complain, he's…Continue
Biting out of frustration
Started this discussion. Last reply by Anna Schultz Jan 25, 2011. 3 Replies 0 Likes
Lately my 14-month-old has taken to biting when frustrated. He sometimes bites the palm of his hand (not hard enough to leave marks), but otherwise doesn't bite other people. What he most often does…Continue

Hi all!My jogging stroller thread from this spring led to some great recommendations so I thought I'd try the same thing for car seats. My son still has room in his SnugRide 32, but here pretty soon…Continue

Christi, Star Mom replied to Gracie's discussion How do I use my stash of breast milk!?
"And as far as whether it's good for her to just have the frozen after you're done breastfeeding, I believe the only thing freezing does is make the antibodies less potent, but you'd have to double check that on kellymom.com. My…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Gracie's discussion How do I use my stash of breast milk!?
"Milk stored in a deep freeze is good for a year, so you can definitely use that for a while. Her intake will increase as she grows so you'll go through more in the future than you do now. You might go through it faster than you think. If you…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Katie, Mom365 Host's discussion Stitches!
"Poor guy. :( I've used Mederma on my scars and had luck. Vitamin E oil is good, too. And make sure to put extra sunscreen on it. Since he's fair I'm sure you're good about that anyway, but be even more diligent there - the scar…"

Christi, Star Mom replied to youaremylittlebird's discussion Golf with a toddler? in the group Stay at Home Moms
"If the course isn't busy (like, if you're not waiting with a busy toddler while someone's trying to tee off) and they don't have any rules about it I think it would be worth a shot - knowing you could make a quick exit if need…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Katie, Mom365 Host's discussion Losing the afternoon nap in the group Moms of 3-Year-Olds
"Exactly the same here. I begrudgingly let the nap fade away because it was starting to affect his sleep - like he sometimes wouldn't fall asleep until 10:00 or later on days he napped. So, while I do feel like sometimes he could still benefit…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion Simple dinner ideas?
"i'm trying to think of crockpot recipes - easy stuff you could throw in, in the morning and then not worry about it the rest of the day. beef stew, ham and beans and chili are the first things that come to mind. salsa chicken is a good one,…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion Simple dinner ideas?
"you could make individual pizzas. we did that the other night and our son has even started getting into it. we got sauce, pepperoni, cheese, mushrooms and onions (obviously you could get whatever you wanted!) and mini boboli crusts. the thing that…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion Do you ever feel like you're not doing a good job?
"i think we all feel that way at some point, definitely. it's so hard when you're not feeling well. i mean, when you work a 9 to 5 you can take a couple days off and rest and recuperate, but as a SAHM you're never really…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Katie, Mom365 Host's discussion The eternal toddler issue in the group Moms of 2-Year-Olds
"That would drive me crazy, too! I can't say I've ever tried giving him half of anything. Not that I remember, anyway. There are days where I do toss a good amount of food at meal time, but if he only ate half of a granola bar I don't…"

Christi, Star Mom replied to jack&jack's discussion How long to swaddle?

if you're looking to increase supply, you've gotten a lot of great advice. definitely make sure you're staying hydrated and eating enough (i couldn't cut calories at all or…"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion How early did you find out?
"i'm a tracker - i track my cycle and my temperature - so i test on the first day i'm supposed to have started my period. i want to know as early as possible when i need to stop having wine with dinner, know what i mean? :)"
Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion What was the BIG present this year?
"i was torn on a play kitchen. i know he'd like it, but until we get our basement finished i'm just not sure where we'd put it and by the time we have somewhere to put it i'm afraid he'll have outgrown it (he's just over…"
