13 Month Old Not Communicating His Needs and Is Not Affectionate

I have a darling little 13 month old son that is meeting all of his deveopmental milestones and then some but is not pointing, communicating with us, and does not like affection from both of us. We are "attachment" parenting and have always anticipated his wants and needs. I feel like I am always trying to guess if he is hungry or not, or he doesn't cry or tell me when his diaper is wet or soiled. Also I have read many artlicles about babies at this age giving hugs and kisses and being very loving and he is just the opposite. He seems...

Weaning from Breastfeeding

My daughter is 16 months old and still breastfeeding, in addition to eating 'adult' food. She can drink from a sippy cup or bottle, and has started drinking cow's milk at school. I don't mind still breastfeeding her at this age, but the frequency of it is driving me crazy. She will sometimes eat, stop, eat, stop, over and over. She just got over a fever that she had for several days, so I would get up when she cried at night because it was a pretty high fever and I did what I could to make her feel better. Of course last night, she kept...

2 Qs...Bouncers And Teddy Bears.

SOOOO.... 2 questions... 1~ My DD is 3 months old. Is this too young to get her a bouncer? I want to get one of those activity bouncers...She can sit on her own (she needs help getting there... but once she's sitting she is good.) and has excellent head control... She also loves to "stand" for up to 5 minutes at a time. (she is standing on her own, just uses us for balance. lol) She has a floor gym that she likes... but she gets MAD if she is laying down too long. She wants to be sitting or standing. We put her in her bouncy chair, but...

What Do You Think About...

My two year old hates getting in the stroller. When you put him in he screams that he wants to walk. I would love to allow him to walk beside me but he won't do it. He wants to walk on his own and touch everything. On occasion, I was thinking of getting one of those, well, I'm not sure what to call it other than a leash. My first thought is that I do not have a pet. I just want to allow him some independence and walk like everyone else.

4 Year Old Always Says "I'm a Good Boy"

Hi there... this is totally new to me... so please be patient. I have recently started babysitting my 4 year old godson. My issue is that he is CONSTANTLY saying things like "I'm a good boy" when I am punishing my 4 year old as well as other kids I babysit. He has done this type of thing for as long as I can remember. Even when he was just 2. He is always repeating himself, like for example... for fighting this morning I took the boys fav teddy bears away for a set amount of time. My son got mad... but my godson says (about every 5 mins or...

Gifts for Preschool Graduation

I was wondering if you get your child a preschool graduation gift and what you would get them? I have a boy graduating from a christian based preschool and I was wondering what kind of end of the year gift I could get the teachers, too? I am going together with a few other moms, but we are open to ideas? They had a list of items that they wanted for their classroom at a fund raiser, do you think we should just buy from that?

Help Stop Breatst Feeding and Get 8 Month Out of the Bed!

Love my baby girl and have no problem leting her sleep in our bed. My man has not complained at all. But I know he is not really happy with it. It is just that I can get more sleep by feeding her when she wakes up and not have to get up at night. She does not sleep in her crib at all (maybe 5-6 times). So To work on getting her to sleep on her own should I first stop breast feeding? She takes a bottle OK but will not feed herself very well with it. Sippy cups - same thing. She also eats well. I tend to hold her when I put her to sleep and...

Handling My Daughter's Feelings When I Am Just Learning to Handle My Own.

Hi mamma's. - The last few weeks, my just 4 yr. old daughter has been fighting certain things that she does like such as taking a nap ( that is the biggest one) or cleaning up, or going to turn errands, when she doesn't get what she wants, stuff like that. Now I know this not unusual and I have no problem dealing with this. After all, she really isn't terrible when all this goes on, Just typical of a child who gets upset. Where I am starting to be unsure of things is when she tells me I "hurt her feelings" or "made her sad" stuff like...

Wakes Every Two Hours

Hi moms! I've recently posted on here about troubles I've had with breastfeeding my daughter but I'd also like to get your advice about some sleep issues. My girl has never been a great sleeper (takes short naps and will not sleep for those 12 hours I hear other babies doing), but recently things have gotten much worse. She used to have a long stretch of night-time sleep from 10-around 4am but now she wakes up every two hours throughout the night. She IS teething, but we keep on top of the tylenol (since I'm up every two hours!), so I...
