We has the same worry... We finally used an easy test: We gave DS lots of colored building blocks (we used duplo) and told him to sort them. The red and green will be mixed if your son is colour bl...
TinaV replied to topic Please help - Dummies during sleep

My DS is 2 years and 8 months old. He sometimes has weeks were he doesn't have sleep a midday for a day or two, but he always goes back to having a nap. We call these days the grumpy days. On norma...
TinaV replied to topic Some help Please!!
My DS was a cat-napper. He only ever slept 45min in a row (during the day) until he was 13 months old. However he was never unhappy in-between the sleeps. I therefore gave up on trying to resettle ...
TinaV replied to topic what is the best toddler clock???

TinaV replied to topic 18 month wont sleep
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, you must be terribly tired. My own son has been sleeping around 11-12 hours per 24 hours as a newborn and is now doing less than that. Our nights used to...
TinaV replied to topic 1 YR OLD NOT SLEEPING THROUGH ANYMORE
I agree with the others: you may have to be a bit hard on her for a few days until she settles back into the old routine. I don't mean letting her cry for hours - simply making clear that the night...

TinaV replied to topic trouble sleeping
I agree that he can't be hungry all night. But perhaps he is thirsty?? My son has been sleeping with a sippy cup of water in the corner of his cot (now bed) since 14 months old. Once we introduced...
TinaV replied to topic Been moved to next room up at Childcare
My son also wasn't very happy after changing to the 2-3 year room. It took him quite some time to get used to the bigger kids and the fuller program. We probably had 6-8 weeks of tantrums until ev...
TinaV replied to topic Not eating
I feel your pain. My 16month old was an absolutely fantastic eater. Would eat all friuts and veg and now all of a sudden won't eat anything except chips or avaocado - so it feels like anyway. I've...
TinaV replied to topic HELP!! Not eating....
First of all I would like to say that a toddler's food intake can vary a lot from day to day, even week to week, and it is quite normal that they eat less than they did as a baby because their grow...
TinaV replied to topic Twins Waking Constantly
Hi I have been in a similar situation and unfortunately I never found a proper solution. My son always went to bed perfectly, it was never a problem. But he never used to sleep long hours (13h/24h...
TinaV replied to topic Ok, totally over this sillyness
Hi I like to use tough love for all night problems with my DS (since he was 13 months - not when he was a baby), so perhaps my idea doesn't suit you. But how about... Telling him that if he leave...

Hi I wouldn't try it... Not so early anyway... It is my understanding that you need regular feeding at the beginning to properly start the milk production. But I'm sure other people will be able t...
