Bath Time

Hello, My 2 1/2 yr old daughter, all of a sudden is terrified of taking a bath. She becomes hysterical and does not want to go into the bathtub. I tried by taking her doll and bathing it and having her involved that worked once. Tonight I got in the bath and tried to reassure her that the water was good, but she was out of control. Please if any one has ay advise, it would be greaty appreciated

Amber the poor little girl has a high temp, last time it came down with panadol so im doing it again but should i use a cool flannel as well?
It seems to be a gray area on what we should do for them with high temps. So is it best just panadol or other thngs as well?

Lactose Intolerance

Does anyone know what the symptoms are in a child.
Everytime I give chomper dairy (milk, yoghurt, cheese) he gets green (various shades) frothy, acidic diahorrea, loads of smelly gas, terrible nappy rash (to the point of bleeding within a couple of minutes of release). His ribcage shows and tummy looks bloated.
I want to start toliet training but with the diahorrea it makes it hard. He's on soya milk.
I want to make sure it's worth taking him to the Dr's over it or just keeping him off dairy permnantly.

Putting toys in mouth

Ok I know its normal for babies to chew on things when they are little to explore the world.... but Amber (2 tomorrow) has started doing it again! Except now everything is getting destroyed. She got some magnets from nana yesterday and one already has 1/2 the paper coming off of it. Same with jigsaws she chews on the edges and the paper is coming off. I do keep all this stuff out of the way anyway because I dont want the bits lost but how long will I have to hide them so they are not eaten as well? :(

How it let them "cry it out" properly

Do you really just change diaper, feed and put in bed to cry them selves to exhaustion or can you go in the room periodically and rub there back and tell them you love them and then leave again??? ( i know a lot of ppl are against the cry it out not looking for other options just how to do the method)

Baby catnapping

Our 8 month old was a great day and night sleeper then the 6 month sleep cycle changed everything. Now she's having trouble sleeping more than 30 mins at a time during the day, which is also impacting her night sleep. We've tried controlled crying and she just gets more hysterical. Any ideas?
