Our dd loves the blow dryer, it knocks her out sometimes immediately, you gotta be careful though, bc it`s a fire hazard.

I have played music for my daughter since she was about 2 months old. She goes to bed really early and we live in a smaller house so I wanted something to block out the `household sounds.` It is just a lullaby CD that we set on `repeat.`

We have our ceiling fan on low or medium and we also use a white noise machine. I`ve actually used it since I was really little and I love sleeping with it on and so does my 6 month old

The humming from a fan or heater always works at night for us. If they are cranky, I used a vacuum cleaner and it usually calmed them down.

I have a sound machine and in the summer I also put a small fan in the room. I have used it for both mine now. Sometimes I switch it up and put on the bird sounds.

We use the Sleep Sheep, it makes noises like rain and waves and our DD loved it. And it`s never too late :)

We use a fan, I know lots of adults who need one! I remember seeing some research on SIDS and fans as well (a good thing)! Sorry, I`m a 40 weeker and don`t have the energy to go find it right now ;)

I also use a fan for white noise. It works for me too so i have to be careful if i HAVE to be up at a certain time, cause if i do not turn off the fan at night, then i will not hear my own alarm go off with it. Works wonders!!

It`s not too late coz my son was 6 mo before I started using a small table fan as white noise. It`s great, and works well at letting him sleep thru all the house sounds.

when my babies were newborns we had this bear called `the womb bear` and it created white noise/womb sounds it really seemed to soothe them ;o)

We have a fan in the corner or my sons room that lets out a nice humming noise. His room is on the main level and it blocks out most of the noises going on while he is sleeping.

  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,.....
