We gave our oldest child a teddy bear around 4mo old, and she`s sucked her thumb with him ever since. She`s going to be three next month, has an overbite and freaks out without him, and we`ll have to take him away soon. I do know this doesent happen for everyone, she just started sucking it on her own, and only sucks it with the teddy. Our second has a soother because of our firs`s thumb sucking, so we can just take that away later. I do regret it, but at the same time I`m sure there are comfort items you can give that don`t end up with this problem

My daughter is 7 and STILL sleeps with two blankets she`s had since birth. There are a few stuffed animals she rotates around and sleeps with, but the two blankets are a must. I don`t regret it, because she doesn`t take them out of her bed. It makes her happy, and doesn`t bother me :)

My Son loves his blankets. If he gets upset (which is rare) as soon as he has his blanket to cuddle, he immediately calms down.

I don`t regret it but I do fear the day that we forget it behind when going on a trip! I was super paranoid when JJ was under 6 months of him suffocating, so I had nothing in his crib...but then I strated to feel bad and put this fuzzy little sheep dog hat in there from Gymboree when he was about 4months old. So, no big deal, whatever, I didn`t even think he noticed it but then by 10 months of age, `fuzzy` went EVERYWHERE JJ did. He is 15 months old now and it is his Linus blanket. I ended up going on ebay to track down three more over the last few months. One stays at daycare for nap time, and the other three are always floating SOMEWHERE around the house. I end up leaving 2 in his crib at nap time and bed time but the little bugger tosses them out of his crib, then stands there staring down at them, out of his reach and just repeating `oh ohhhhhh, oh ohhhhhhh`. Yes, Oh Ohhhhhh, you dropped it, you monkey! And he will NOT go to sleep with out it. And then I go in there and he says `hi! Hi!` and points to it. It is so cute but a ploy to stay awake longer as well! He rubs it over his face and it brings him tremendous joy and comfort. I don`t regret it, but the day will come when `fuzzy` is no more and then I think I`ll be royally screwed!

I always gave Sarah something to sleep with but she never got attached to any one thing. She is two and half now and constantly rotates which stuffed animal to sleep with each night.

I regret NOT giving one to my first ~ when I discovered the amazing benefits of a security blanket with my 2nd I used it imediately with my 3rd and it is the best thing ever. I know had I thought to use one with my first things would have been SO much easier.

  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,.....
