I have switched my 4 month old Baby Boy to Baby’s Only Dairy Toddler Formula because it seems to be the most organic formula out there, and because I have compared it’s ingredients to other infant formulas and it seems to be equal. Does anyone know any medical facts or information about this?

asked:


My baby just turned a year old. She is 29 inches long and weights 17 1/2 lbs. My pediatrician suggested keeping her on formula until she reaches 20lbs and to push cereal and anything that she would eat. What are some high calorie foods I can give her? Everything I see on the internet is to prevent childhood obesity. There is not much for small babies. Help!!!

I’m giving a speech on childhood obesity and have to say why it is relevant to my audience, which is college students.

My daughter is 16 months, and is trying to climb over the top of her crib. The crib has already been lowered as low as it can possibly go. Her father seems to think that in a month or two she will be ready for a toddler bed. I disagree. I think she should be closer to 2 years or over. When did you move your child from the crib to the toddler bed?

I work at a daycare center and there’s one toddler who is very attached to me and gets jealous when other kids even sit near me and starts hitting and biting them. She also hits and bites when she’s very happy and excited. I don’t want her to tell her to stop being excited, but she needs to stop hitting because she really hurts the other kids. Any tips?

My son will be 2 in January and for his birthday I would like to get him a toddler bed and change his room into a big boy room. I’m not sure at what age it is good to do this. I would also like to know the best way to go about the conversion and how to get him comfortable in his new room. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

At what age can a child use a toddler bed? I have a about to be 4 month old but i am preg and my next child will be born when my little girl is 11 months. Will she still be to small to use a toddler bed. I was just thinking of buying instead of buying another crib.

asked:


This question has been continuously recurring back to me over the year. I remember when I was 10 years old and being flooded with ads that had nothing to do with Nickelodeon or PBS. And still, to this day, it’s leaking into the minds of this new generation. Do we really want young kids talking about what new cleaning supplies they want? Do we really need kids learning about new toys they’d probably break or abandon by the next week? Or should we spam them with random things like cellphones and key-chains when they’re not even 2 years old?

These days, it’s ridiculous how long ad’s are and I believe a petition should be started to stop them.
Or at least filter ads to be related to what we’re watching. I personally hated it when I would be watching something on sports, and a split second later being yelled at by some dude who wants to sell me laxatives.

What really makes things worse are internet ads, and that some ads last for 30seconds to 1full minute, and you CAN’T skip them. Sure, companies spend money for ads, yes, but it’s gotten out of control. They could at least give the “potential” customer the option to skip their ad that’s completely irrelevant to what they’re watching.

On average, most networks air 12 minutes ads per hour.
Do you know how many ads a child 8-10 years old watches a day? Approximately 38 minutes a day of ad watching, which is 30,000 a year. And small toddlers by the age of two watch up to 18 minutes a day of advertisement, which, ads up to about 14,000 ads a year.
I doubt a 2 year old can even count to 14,000!

And nothing’s better than those food ad’s to help to our child obesity problem.

If someone can give me a valid reason why this cancer to society, A.K.A advertisements are still here, Well, then…You’re a good person.
