Sounds like it's time to hit the gym. I have definately put on more muscle since my daughter was born. She is now 26lbs and 16 months. I also encourage her walk whenever possible.

For an older child yes, absolutely. But this topic began as a conversation about shoes for a child who is not yet walking.

Quote: Name brand as much as I hate paying for them usually are better quality shoes. Stride rite and the such have good support in their shoes But there is my point exactly, babies do not need support. They need nothing more than something to protect their skin from cuts and scrapes. In...

While can't give you advice on how to prepare your son, I would like to suggest you do a lot of research. I've heard a lot of stories about children being misdiagnosed with ADHD and medicated when they should be. Do not just trust a doctor to know what is best. And when you are researching...

My son is 9 and very good about getting up and ready for school with very little help. A few things I think help with that are: 1. No TV/Video Games/Computer in the morning. 2. I know how fast he moves in the morning and have set a wake up time that gives enough time for him to get ready...

My daughter (16 months) has started asking for the TV and gets very upset if I don't turn it on. But what I've found is that if I put on children's shows she will just sit on the floor and watch, watch, watch. If I put on an adult show or even one of those music only channels, she play. If I...

Wow! If only my daughter were a little on the small side, it would make picking her up and carrying her must less straining. She is 16 months and pushing her way out of 24months/2T in a hurry!

Do you really find it necessary to put her in shoes at all? Doctors say that bare feet is the best for foot development and that young children should only wear soft soled shoes when they are in a situation that they may be walking on a dirty or sharp surface.

I suggest you get her to speak to her doctor. Post-Natal Depression often needs to be treated with a combination of medication, therapy AND support from friends and family. So convince her to see a doctor. Then continue with help and support with cleaning or offer to care for the baby for a...
