HELP- 18 Month Old Measuring Small

My daughter is almost 19 months but we had her 18 month checkup today. She weighed 21 lbs 8 oz and measured in the 9th percentile. I have not been worried about her weight (even though I knew she was small) because she ate a blanced diet (fruits, veggies, beans, cheese, etc.) and is meeting her milestones. She even has a little bit of a "belly." The only thing she really doesn't want to eat is meat. She has been known to out-eat my 4 year old son from time to time. The doctor, however, is concerned as her percentile has dropped. She...

Help, Trying to Wean to Sippy Cup with Soy Milk

My one year old daughter is allergic to milk, and we have been trying to wean her on soy milk for a month. She will take juice and water out of a sippy cup but not milk or formula. We have been gradually doing it, for the last two weeks I have been doing 2 oz formula with 4 oz soy milk. She will take it out of the bottle, then I tried to do just soymilk and she will not drink it out of the sippy cup or bottle. I first started with the unsweetend Silk then recently moved to the plain Silk brand. I think she associates the cup with water or...

Small 3-Year Old Needs to Gain Weight

Please help! Our 3-year old boy hasn't gained any weight in the last year since his 2-year checkup. He still weighs 24 pounds. He's always been small and low on the charts and we had numerous tests done when he was 20 months for low weight gain. Tests included cystic fibrosis, GI-tests, and even some genetic testing. All turned up negative. Our doctor wants us to try and get him to gain weight before ordering additional tests. I've tried duocal but he seems to taste it (am I adding too much?) and refuses to drink it. He won't drink the...

Sign Language Delay

Hi all, We have been using three simple signs with our now 10-month-old since she was 6 months. We use the signs for milk, eat and more. She does not yet respond with her own signs and most of the time it does not seem to register that we communicating at all. I had read that many kids begin signing 7-9 months. Anyone else have a late starter like this?

I'm Lost About Preschool

I work full time, and my long time boyfriend stays home with our daughter since we could never seem to afford daycare with what I make. My daughter just turned 3 and I feel like I'm being bombarded by other people saying, "Is she starting Preschool yet?". I really don't even know where to start to get her in or how I would afford it. My mom was a single mom while I was a child, so I was in daycare from a very young age. I just wonder is it necessary, if we work with her at home, and are there websites that show you what they should know...

Meijer or Kroger

Has anyone compared prices at Meijer and Kroger? I can't tell which one has the lowest prices. It seems to me that maybe groceries are lower at Kroger while produce is lower at Meijer. There is no doubt that deli meats are lower at Meijer. I would rather shop at Kroger as it is less crowded and crazy, but not if I end up spending more. What have you all find to be best?

Preschool Mean Kids

My 3-year-old (he'll be 3 1/2 next week) started preschool soon after getting potty-trained in February of 2007. All of the other kids in his class started in September of 2006 (when school traditionally starts). My son LOVES activities and teachers and kids so my hubby and I were so excited to finally get him potty trained and enrolled in a preschool. In the past we had done classes at the Y, Gymboree, and play groups here and there. After the first week of preschool, my son started to get really quiet when we asked him about...

Daughter Won't Eat Breakfast Before School

Hello Ladies, The school year is beginning and I know that it benefits a child when they eat breakfast before going to school. My seven year old daughter is not a big breakfast eater and last year it was a battle to get her to eat before getting on the bus. I asked her if she would try drinking a shake every morning and she said that sounds yummy. Can anyone suggest a good tasting nutritious shake full of vitamins for her to try. I live in a small town and we have a Meijer and Walmart, otherwise it would have to be something I can order...

Teething Baby Not Sleeping!!

My daughter got through her first 8 teeth pretty good. Now she's getting her molars and is having a terrible time. She's only sleeping every other night. My husband and I have been taking shifts on the nights she doesn't sleep well so we can at least get a few hours sleep. She cries and whimpers and thrashes back and forth. Orajel and Tylenol don't do anything. We both have full time jobs and have been working overtime, so we're beyond tired. Any advice?

Rolling onto Tummy at Night

I hardly slept over the weekend because my little one decided to start rolling onto his tummy to sleep....but he can't get one of his arms out, so he struggles and sometimes is so tired he looks like he gives up and ends up with his face planted on the bed. I went in to flip him over a few times and he would just roll back. I am so paranoid! Last night he slept on his back/side but now I just put him to bed and onto his tummy he went. When I tried to move him he rolled back but his arm was stuck. He didn't stop til I pulled his arm out...
