Help! My 3 YO Niece Never Sleeps!!!

My sister and her two daughters - 3 and 4 live me. The 3 YO doesn't SLEEP! All hours of the morning she's roaming the house! I'm talking 2AM, 4AM, etc. Sometimes she wakes the 4 YO. The one bad thing is that my sis, when she's asleep, she's "dead" to the world so they come and bother me. The daycare has kept her awake during nap time to help, but this doesn't work! She's up at daycare at 6AM everyday. What can I do to make her SLEEP! HONESTLY, I thought about Benadryl, but she's too young!!!

When to Tell 4 Year Old About Pregnancy

Hello Ladies, I am 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I have a 4 year old and a 2 1/2 half year old. I recently experienced 2 miscarraiges, one in October at 6 weeks and the other in February at apx 4 weeks. Also almost a year ago I lost my mother in law, whom we were all very close with especially my 4 year old daughter. Since then she continues to ask a lot of detailed questions in regards to death. She seems okay with everything, no major problems with her since then, but just very curious. Due to this and the fact that I have had 2...

Safe Foods to Eat During Pregnancy

Hello, I am in my fourth month of pregnancy but just found out about a month ago - oops. We are thrilled to be pregnant and I have read up quite a bit on all the do's and dont's. However, the last nurse I saw mentioned no nitrates or preservatives. I don't typically eat foods heavy with these ingredients but am a fan of Trader Joe's chicken potstickers. Do you think they are safe to eat? They are precooked but I don't know if they have preservatives or not. Thought I would ask all you experienced ladies what your thoughts...

Potty Training NOT Going Well with 3 Year Old

Hi All! We are trying to potty train our 3 year old right now. This is NOT the first attempt we have made at this. I tried starting when he was 2 and he just didn't seem ready. I tried again at 2-1/2 and seemed to be making a little headway and then he really began to fight it. He turned 3 in February and I know he is ready this time, but he is fighting it tooth and nail. Every now and then he will get excited and want to sit on the potty, but rarely does anything happen. When I try to get him to sit on the potty at regular intervals...
