Biting out of frustration

Started this discussion. Last reply by Anna Schultz Jan 26, 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

CPSC and FDA Warning Re: Sleep Positioners

Thought I'd post this - just in case some folks hadn't seen it. Another new warning came out this week against using sleep positioners and similar devices:…Continue

convertible car seats

Started this discussion. Last reply by Christi, Star Mom Dec 6, 2010. 3 Replies 0 Likes

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

Egypt is on my "must see" list! Just so much history - I can't imagine seeing all of those ancient things in person!

Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion 'Ever been out of the country?'

I've been out of the country twice. Once with my college team on a little tour - we went to Germany, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Then my husband (then boyfriend) and I took a vacation in the same area - Germany, Bratislava, Czech…

Christi, Star Mom replied to Heather's discussion 'Temper tantrums already!?!'

you don't want to start time outs with a 9 months old - they're far too young to "get it" at that age. 24 months is the earliest that it's recommended. we did start at about 18 months, but with a modified time out - we sat…

Christi, Star Mom replied to Colette1986's discussion 'Weight loss'

personally, i love sparkpeople. it's a free web site that allows you to track your calories in versus your calories burned. based on your goals (how much you want to lose and when you want to lose it by) they give you a range of calories, fat,…

Christi, Star Mom replied to skylark97's discussion 'Nipple shields'

I used a shield, but under the direction of my LC we weaned off of it at about this time - about 8 weeks. I used one for latch issues as well. I was inverted and my son had a "tight jaw" so the two of us together were bad news. I…

Christi, Star Mom replied to AyvransMommy's discussion 'TEETHINGGG AHHH!!'

at 2 months i wouldn't say he's teething yet. i wish i could remember where i read it, but it's my understanding that the first of the senses that is most sensitive is that of taste - which is part of why babies (and toddlers) love to…

congrats!

Christi, Star Mom replied to AyvransMommy's discussion 'TEETHINGGG AHHH!!'

is he teething right now? i ask because it might not be the nightmare you're expecting. :) the only teeth that gave my son any trouble were his first molars. he's 27 mo now and we're waiting for the second set. before that,…

Christi, Star Mom replied to overthemoon's discussion 'learning ABC's and 123s'

my son's 26 mo old and for some reason our son has always been drawn to letters and numbers. some of his favorites are leapfrog's fridge phonics and scout's phonics farm (DVD). super why is also another favorite show (especially alpha…

Christi, Star Mom replied to NewbieMom2010's discussion 'Pregnant or symptoms of coming off birth control?'

my last gynecologist told me it can take three months for your body to "get used to" a BCP - so it can take three months after starting a particular BCP for you to really know how it might affect you, and it can take three months for your…

Christi, Star Mom replied to shakinbacon7's discussion '8 Month Old is Waking in the Middle of the Night to "Play"'

motrin is definitely your friend in this situation. if he's teething i'd give him motrin before bed without a doubt. i bet you'll see an immediate change. if it is so bad that he wakes up again at 2 am he'll be ready for another…

Christi, Star Mom replied to Jen, Mom365 Host's discussion 'Weight Loss Groups?'

honestly, no. i never found anything related to weight loss that didn't kill my supply. i had supply issues for the 13 months that i nursed. three things made a noticibly negative difference for me - starting my period, not drinking enough…

Christi, Star Mom replied to MOMSROCK's discussion 'Nervous Wreck'

i'm sorry you had to go through all of that - i can't imagine how scary that must have been. what did they tell you was the exact cause for the seizures? what did they suggest in terms of preventing a reoccurance in the future? what…

Christi, Star Mom replied to Evburgos's discussion 'Vaccinations'

personally, we choose to vaccinate. at 26 mo our son is right on schedule. we'll see that he continues to get all of his shots and will do the same for any future kids. we discussed it with our pediatrician and after weighing our…

Christi, Star Mom replied to Shaneika's discussion 'Is it okay to say no?'

well, i'm not sure what age we're talking about and what context (like, what are we saying no to?), but i'll just say that at about a month or two of age i told my son "no" firmly when he'd "gum" down on…

Christi, Star Mom replied to overthemoon's discussion 'my 20 month old wont stop throwing his food' in the group Stay at Home Moms

i agree - i think the only thing that worked for us was the same approach. we made strong eye contact and gave a firm "no" with the first throw, then if it happened again the food got taken away. end of meal. if your son were that hungry…
