Bedtime Shenanagans & Noise

BACKGROUND: My daughter is 26 months old and sleeps in her crib. She is very happy in her crib and I do not intend on moving her to a bed until she shows signs of wanting to climb out or get a big girl bed. Her room is directly next to my son's room, who is 11 months old. Unfortunately, the walls are thin and sound carries easily. We have white noise playing at a moderate (not soft!) level to try to mask house noises (so the baby's crying doesn't wake her and vice-versa.) Moving rooms is not an option. She is really good about...

Taking Baby to the Beach!

We are taking our 10 mos old to Sanibel Island next month for not only his first beach trip, but his first trip of any kind. We will be flying and I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions for baby in flight and for the beach! We've packed ourselves for the beach many times, but never baby! I know there will be a million things we didn't think of! Also, because we are flying, it will be hard to take much big stuff...any suggestions or knowledge of places that may rent baby items short term?

Miss No Naps

Hello, My almost three year old has decided she doesn't want to take naps anymore. Every afternoon I read her a story, tuck her into her bed with her music on, and then the battle begins. We spend the next hour or so with her coming out of her room saying she is not tired or that she doesn't want to take a nap and then me dragging her back to her room and tucking her in again, and again, and again... By the time she actually falls asleep, if she falls asleep, it’s pretty late in the day to be sleeping and then I have a hard time...

Stay at Home Schedule

I am looking to create a daily schedule for our 4 year old. Some thing from 8AM wake up time to 8 or 8:30 PM sleep time. Some basic activities, structured play, he is a type A personality child and we are trying to get him into a daily routine to have more peace in the house. Plus I DO NOT LIKE the amount of tv he gets in a day. He has an addiction to the tv we can't even turn it on for us (the adults) because he gets glued to it. It is extremely difficult to get him to sit still at any time for anything, even meals. I breastfeed...

Traveling to Puerto Rico with a 23 Mo. Old & an Infant; Is This Feasible?

Hi Moms. My brother is finally getting married at the end of this year (right after Christmas) in Puerto Rico (where his fiance is from)!

However, I am due with baby #2 Nov. 29th & am a little nervous about traveling that soon after the latest addition to our family arrives. BUT, I would like to try it if it's possible... My husband would be going too & we would be traveling with my Mom & Dad & my sister & brother-in-law (who have no children of their own yet), so...
