aquafor....it's like vaseline.....it is made by Eucerin.... however my dr told me aquafor or vaseline....either one is fine and you only need a small amount

could be a self-soothing thing. DD was quite the finger sucker until she was a year and a half.

I agree follow up w/ your ped so the proper tests can be done remember er doctors aren't child specialists and can overlook things.

Maybe it would help to impose more meaningful consequences - i.e., instead of losing a favorite toy, your DD has *all* toys removed from her room for a set period of time (say, 2 weeks), and then after that time period *if* her behavior improves then she can earn them back.? Same with TV, having friends over, etc.? For a couple of weeks, she lives like an inmate.? No luxuries of any kind.? Food, shelter, clothing.? Maybe that sounds harsh to...

It doesn't sound normal at all, and I would definitely follow up with your pedi, but unless your pedi is concerned, I wouldn't freak out to the extent of making an appt with a neurologist or anything. Take it in stride, because dehydration can definitely cause fainting, and you didn't mention any other abnormal behavior (twitching, strange movements, any sort of spell), so it could absolutely be something like that.

There is nothing wrong with your pediatrician prescribing steriods.? They have a lot of really good, beneficial purposes in medicine.? But, we hear so much about them with athletes abusing them that we think they are bad. There is a lot of good and bad information on the internet.? If you aren't getting it from a reputable medical source (Mayo Clinic, American Academy of Pediatrics, etc), I would be skeptical. Last year, I found a...

I guarantee you that she'll start taking it if she gets hungry enough. Sounds like you've done everything you can to try to ease her into it, all you can really do now is just leave her with the various people when you need to, and keep positive. She will either accept a bottle from them, or have a massive nursing session with you at night :p

Well in my opinion, there is no solution.? Sorry. But she is to the age where she now realizes you are gone.? She will grow out of it before you know it.? My son did this for awhile with me and then a few months later wouldn't cry when I would leave but cried when my husband would.? But now he could care less if we leave the room, unless he's in a grumpy mood!?

If it tastes icky, maybe he'll stop licking his lips! I use Vaseline when I go to bed at night. My 4 y/o has started putting it on herself too, but sh used GOBBS of it. My LB uses Mentholatum, which I think smells better, but doesn't work as good.

idk but there is a thyroid group .. they may have some info over there.
