Other-poll poll We turn on an oscillating fan in my sons room while he sleeps to drown out back ground noise,..well as you know it`s getting cooler now so the oscillating fan won`t be an options. Any suggestions other then music to help drown out noise? Thanks.

If you think the child will get to chilled, then just point the fan in a different direction.

I have a sound machine and a fan going in my sons room. I had a fan in my others sons room untill he was about 4 years old.

In a pinch you can turn on a clock radio to a staticy a.m. station. We do this when we travel so that we don`t have to bring along our nature sounds machine.

Humidifier! Or this: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2341&e=detail&pcat=buocean&pid=49715 We have the older version that is a star instead of a starfish... but it plays classical music, lullaby`s or nature sounds. My daughter is now 2 and she LOVES it... she puts it on the nature sounds. :) I love this toy!!

humidifier or one of those stand up fans that dont really blow but they clean the air. they still make the fan noise without the huge breeze. i forget what theyre called my mother has one.

We have an alarm clock that plays all sorts if nature sounds. I usually leave the sound on crickets chipping but I also love the ocean waves crashing.

We use an oscillating fan too. So what am doing now is I keep it non oscillating and facing the room instead of the bed/crib. The hum of the fan is still there without the cold air beating down on the baby.

  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,.....
