Help! 2 Year Old Escaping from Britax Marathon

My two year old daughter can fully escape from her buckled Britax Marathon. First she was able to pull the metal strap that loosens the shoulder straps. I called Britax and they sent me a trainer tool that completely covers that area. It was really nice to be able to ride in the car without pulling over every two minutes...but that only lasted about 2 weeks. Now she can push the button on the chest clip (not sure what it is called) and press the red button that releases the straps and presto magic she is completely unbuckled! It is...

Wondering If Son Is Allergic:(

My son is 15 months old and since he was born I have been going back and forth between Huggies diapers and Pampers. Really what ever is on sale and if neither I would buy Huggies. Well my problem is about 2 1/2 months ago he started to scratch his upper butt. At times it is really bad that it will bleed. It looks horrible again. Over the last months it seems to get better and then come back. Well right now it is really really bad. I was thinking about it and for the last 3 weeks it has just been huggies I have been using and is seems...

Preparing Children For/coping with Impending Death of Grandma/mom from Cancer

How have you dealt with caring for a parent struggling with terminal cancer (or any illness, for that matter) and helping your children prepare for their death? How did you cope with strong emotions? How do you balance your life: work, caring for husband, children, parents, schoolwork, church service, etc.? I have four siblings who share in my mom's care (dispensing meds, walking with her to the bathroom, making meals, visiting, taking her to treatments, relieving my dad so he can go to the store, etc.) but we are all at odds...

How Do I Get My 21 Month Old off the Bottle?

My daughter will be turning 2 in June and I would like to get her off the bottle. We do offer her a drinking cup (regular one’s with the spout and even the ones with straws) and she drinks from them but she prefers drinking water from them instead of her milk. As for her bottle, I was told that if I can get her to snack/eat more she won’t take the bottle as often. So, we offer all types of snacks and foods but depending on her mood that will determine if she will eat. And then too when she does eat, she doesn’t eat very much. If...

10 Month Old and His Darn Cough!

Mamas what else can I do for our 10 month old son's cough? He is going on 4 weeks of coughing and he just can't seem to get rid of it. He was on antibiotics about 2 weeks ago for sinus drainage coming out of his eyes. But the dr. said that the cough can last for a bit. I know I can't give him cough medicine or honey. He already has a humidifier/mister in his room at night and his bed is elevated. What else is there? He is coughing so much at night that he wakes himself up 5-6 times. Any suggestions would be great! On another note,...

Putting Eye Drops in a 2 Year Olds Eyes

I have a question, my son is about to be 2 years old. I took him to the doctor today and they told me he has pink eye. They gave him a perscription for eye drops. Now, it is one thing to give a 2 year old medicine, but eye drops? I have tried everything I can think of to get the eye drops in his eye but nothing that I have tried works. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the drops in his eyes? I have tried to put then in the corner of his eye by the bridge of his nose, but he just rubs the drop away. Does anyone have any...
