Swine Flu: Travel with My 11 Month Old?

I am scheduled to fly to Dallas Texas this Sunday with my 11 month old son on my lap and I'm very nervous about flying with him. I realize that I can personally take percaustions but I'm not certain I can keep my son from touching everything and then keep his fingers out of his mouth. I can easily postpone my trip until this swine flu has stabalized..what do you moms think?

19 Month Old Soaks Clothes/crib at Nightime

my 19 month old son wakes up every morning soaked, clothes and sheets. I use huggies overnights and I put a maxi pad inside the diaper, point his privates down, (I read this before) and I have limited his drinks (not stopped) before bed. every morning I have to give him another bath, strip bed, clean mattress, etc. any advice would be appreciated. I don't want to take away his nightime bottle, he really seems to enjoy it, and it's part of our routine, I give him 4 oz. also, even though the crib mattress is plastic on the outer cover and I...

Luvs V. Huggies?

Hi All We're trying to find ways to save money where we can (aren't we all!) and I was wondering if anyone has used Luvs diapers? Huggies have worked best for our kids, historically (fewer leaks than Pampers). Any advice is appreciated!

Constipation with My 18 Month Old

My 18 month old has had problems with constipation her entire life of 18 months :) We have tried everything and nothing is working. We have done apple juice, pear juice, straight prune juice, glycerin supp., baby enimas, and now we are on myralax everyday. The laxative seemed to have worked for awhile and we even ended up in Children's Hospital because we didn't go poop for a week. My ped. just says this is ok and will be fine for her to take the lax. for the rest of her life if needed...but momma thinks different. I don't think she should...

Natural Remedies for Red, Itchy Rash

My 21 month old boy has this large red rash on his bum/lower back. It started out small and didn't bother him and it was getting better but just this morning I got him out of bed and it is much worse and he is itching it now. The red areas are slightly raised and some areas are peeling. We are letting him run around with out his diaper as much as possible and we use Seventh Generation diapers so I know it isn't a sensitivity to his diaper. So, far we have just been using Earth's Best diaper rash onitment. I am wondering if any one has...

Huggies Diapers Recommendations

Hi, I am looking for feedback regarding Huggies diapers. I already use the Huggies Overnights, which work wonderfully. But I'm looking for a day time diaper (made by Huggies) that doesn't leak. I had tried one once (I forget which one it was, a friend had given me one to use at her house one afternoon), and it leaked. Can anyone give me some good Huggies diaper recommendation and feedback? It would be greatly appreciated!!

Huggies Overnights Question

OK, My son has been in Huggies Overnights for two years now and they have always been great. We recently started putting him the Size 6 and they are no longer working! They get so full that not only do they leak, but they bust open causing that crystal type stuff to go all over him and his bed. It's awful. We have to bathe him every morning now. Has anyone had this problem? Could we just have a bad batch and I should buy a new box and try again? Has anyone got any other recommendations? My son is no where near being potty trained,...

How to Help My Son Potty Train!!

Okay. He is only 2 1/2 and I know they say that boys usually trainn around 3 or 31/2! Do you guys have any pointers in what to do, he will sit on his potty when I go, but does nothing. I liked the idea of giving a skittle or M&M, from jon and kate plus eight, when they actually do something. Is that really a good idea to give him candy? I also have a 1 1/2 year old son and I know he is to young to learn, should I just wait a year and train them together? Hope I am making sense. Anyone with potty training advice, please advise me. ...

Causes of Diaper Rash

Hi! My son recently turned one and has started having problems with developing diaper rash. Up until now, we haven't had too much of a problem with this but recently it has become an ongoing issue. I always change his diaper as soon as I know that it is soiled so I don't think this is the issue. I have talked to his peditrician about what could be causing the flare ups and was told that it could be a reaction to something that he is eating. He informed me the only way to find out which food was causing the reaction was to start all...
