my lil girl took a nu nu until 3 mths. then started sucking her 2 fingers, i tried to give her the nu nu but she only wanted her fingers especially when tired, now shes 3 almost 4 still sucking her same 2 fingers not so cute anymore but i read its ok they usually stop on their own and its ok as long as they stop by age 5, but its hard gettin her to quit and shes always doing it even if she plays in the dirt its kinda a bad habit but i believe once shes around other kids and see they don`t do it she`ll stop on her own, i don`t mind but my hubby hates it and makes her stop but she always does it again out of habit!!!!!

My daughter had to have her soothie pacifier until she got her first tooth( 6 months) and then she refused it, now she cuddles and nurtures her blankie (very cute). But she doesn`t chew or suck on anything which is a big relief. We had to be persistent with the pacifier at first and even hold it for her. She wanted it but could not keep it in.

I found the soother brands harder to stay in versus mam because the shape of the nipple ~ and the mam newborns are a bit smaller or premiee, try those for size too :)

My first two wantd the pacifier my last one has fingers (or his satin blanket which I strongly encourage ~ it is what it is, you cant make them prefer one over the other so I`d let it be. There are pros and cons to both and those neices and nephews in my family that preferred fingers did just fine.

my daughter has hated having a dummy, i have tried all different shapes and sizes and she just spits them out. when she was younger she was always putting her fingers in her mouth when she was getting upset or restless so i use to take them out and give her a comfort blankie instead which she started 2 rub between her fingers or around her face and she even sucks on the corner of her blankie instead of her fingers. sometimes she still put her fingers in her mouth if she were hungry but its not very often at all.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
