I have found that if my child has a diaper rash that baking soda or oatmeal in a nice warm bath helps alot. I then let them sit on a towel with no diaper on for about 10 min after the bath. My child always wakes up with there little bottom a lot less red and irritated. I think that desitin creamy works the best for diaper rash

My child learned, without my knowledge, how to open the window and climb out. It was the scariest moment of my life. It took us an hour to find him. Now I hired a childproofing service and I feel much more at ease.

The way I got my son to stop being lazy was to give him a whole bunch of meaningless chores to do at home... unless he got a job, joined a sport, or club or anyting constructive. He, of course, chose the latter. It keeps him active and happy and he even lost 55lbs.

Make sure you install carbon monoxide detectors in any rooms where people sleep. CO is a major hazard and it has no smell... if it is in the room, you will not wake up (usually). Be careful and check batteries frequently.

I noticed that my child that I always kept a baby hat on lost her hair, and my other daughter didn't. Its not conclusive, but I think the hat had something to do with it.

I have found that the best way to get your baby to sleep alone is to inch further and futher away each night as you put them to sleep. On the final night, just walk in the room and lay them down and let them sleep alone.

I have a four year and a two year, and just gave birth to a new baby boy. My four year was not so thrilled about ANOTHER baby, so to encourage I let him help me get ready for him. He helped paint the nursery, picked out clothes, even helped me sanitize everything. When we brought my baby home, Our two year old would climb in all of his stuff and act like a baby, to make her feel like a big girl, we simply put started giving her a "special treat" which to my kids, is an apple or an orange every time she did something for the baby. Whether it was help me change his diaper, or help me empty the dryer and fold clothes, she soon got over the baby phase, and fast considering my new baby is only 12 days old. Now if only she would potty train.
