DS has all 4 top and 4 bottom, 2 top molars and the incisors are not even close.

My ped said 12-14 ozs and no more than that for those exact reasons. She said their nutrition should come from foods and they would rather fill up on milk because it's easier to drink and play than to sit down and eat.

I work at a chiropractor and my DD gets adjusted from time to time.? We use the Activator Method which is a lot more gentle then hands on adjustments.? You can research it at activatormethods.com My DD is very healthy, she does get ear infections but it's common at this age.? It can't hurt, and if you think about it, their spines go through a lot at this age, so it might as well get straight and healthy!

CONGRATS!!!

I believe it can only contribute to anemia if their little intestines are still not ready for it. I'm not sure if this is still a consideration-perhaps some of the other moms know? As to iron- will she eat beans? We feed Poe lots of beans, and I've found that adding spinach to other things (like pasta, omlettes, etc..) is a great way to sneak in more iron. There are vitamin drops that supplement iron, so if you can't get more...

My DS goes down for the night around 8 p.m most nights. He usually sleeps until 6:30/7 a.m. He takes one long nap around 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the morning and then sometimes a 30 minute nap in the afternoon. Sometimes he falls asleep in the car on the way home from Grandma's in the afternoon but I try not to let him do that because that's usually around 6/6:30 p.m. that we're driving home and then he doesn't want to go to bed...

No. My boys get toast, cereal or oatmeal (instant). Their choice. Plus fruit and yogurt. I'm barely awake enough for that in the mornings. We make good breakfasts on weekends - homemade pancakes, etc.

Put weak batteries in it and the balls don't go crazy! My LO wanted nothing to do with it, then the batteries started to wear down and now he loves it.

DS isn't too overly dramatic, but he has stomped his feet, which I laughed hysterically at and that actually made him laugh and made him forget about whatever he was mad at!? haha.? When he's trapped in the living room and I'm in the kitchen, he will stand at the gate and scream.. not cry, but yell.. it's funny, in a way, because he'll yell and then look at me to see what I do, then yell again.. but annoying because...

DS has a normal winter coat made out of waterproof material, fleece liner, but no extra padding. He has a hat and mittens to match. As for the carseat, now that it is cold enough that he really needs the coat and not just a jacket I will be unzipping it and putting the straps inside. The back of the coat alone is not thick enough that we would have to adjust the straps.
