I know how you feel, I have a seven year old and that is all he wants. The only "regular" food he wants are McD chicken nuggets, hot dogs (plain) and believe it or not canned beef stew. What I do with him is he has to eat at least one of these things and then he will receive a small sweet treat. With him, if I fill him up on food, he doesn't seem to want as many sweets. We make an exchange. I have tried making him eat other things, doesn't work...Hope this helps any at all.

Get help!  Aside from having an assistant, I have found if you can get them on a similar schedule it helps.  At feeding time, the toddlers that can feed themselves can be put in hi chairs with either their food or something simple like crackers while you give a baby a bottle or cereal, etc.\n\nThose babies that can hold their own bottle can be set down near you and handed their bottles while you help one that needs the help.\n\nAround nap time dim the lights and put on soft music and lay the children in their beds or cribs, etc.  A fussy baby can always go in a swing.\nThe toddlers that want to stand up in their beds but aren't making any noise, etc, leave alone and concentrate on the fussiest children - rub their backs, give bottles, paccies, blankets, etc (whatever they usually get at nap time). Once you get the fussy ones quiet, even if they are just laying quietly, work on the ones that you know need a nap but don't want to lay down. either leave them alone and eventually they will lay themselves down (I know some that do this) or encourage them to lay down and explain all the babies are sleeping and they need to lay quietly, Once you get them to lay quietly, they will usually drift off to sleep on their own.\n\nAs for organization - keep a chart up on each child and mark times of diaper changes and feedings.  (If parents need to know keep track of bms and how much the baby ate).\n\nKeep a rubber maid container, like a filing box for each child, label it with their names. In the containers keep a change of clothes, emergency supply of diapers, etc.  Let the parents be the ones to bring in the items for their containers. Store the containers in the cribs when no one is using it and then under the crib during nap time.\n\nWell thats it off the top of my head, I bet others have some ideas as well.

Wait until she makes him take a nap. Then sneak in, pull his blankie over his head and kidnap him. Take him out for cookies and milk.

By waking him in the middle of the night with a bed sheet on your head! You could also try going "woooOOOoooh!" while your doing it!

if she is not eating you should take her to the doctor! babies need to eat, and they certainly should not be "lean". your child is not getting enough nutritien, so she needs to be taken to the hospital.

Clean.\nRe-arrange the crib.\nVideo Games.\nBooty Call.\nTry a new and dificult food to make.\n\nThe best advice I could give you is work out. It doesn't even have to be any thing great. If you find yourself vegging out watching TV on a rainy day, try doing excercises during the commercials. Exercises like crunches, leg raises, side leg lifts, squats, lunges, arm rotations, and push ups are good to do for this. \n\nOr you could go to the closest store pick up a 12 pack of Corona and sit down and answer easy questions for a couple hours.

Try getting easy to make meals that way when you do get a break you can make yourself some food THEN have a nap. If you work around the clock than I don't know how well sleeping pills will work cuz those things will knock you out for a while.

A five month old wouldn't enjoy the zoo, but if you want to go, five months is a good time if the baby can sleep in a stroller. If your little one must take a nap in her/his crib, then forgo the long outing. Five month old babies are amused by anything, as you know, but only in small doses. I think you should try to find local places that take only a short drive to and from - that way you maximize your time at the place you want to be, and your baby probably won't fall asleep in the car on the way back if it's a short trip. I recommend just staying in your yard (if you have one) and playing or gardening; there are lots of things outside that would interest a five month old. Buy a bag of rice and dump it in a bowl; let him/her mess around with it outside, then hose it away when s/he is done. Buy a flat of cheap annuals along with whatever other flowers/vegetables you would like to grow; give your baby a clump of flowers (minus much of the soil) and let him destroy them (it's a great learning experience). You may want to take off his clothes before you do that.  :o)  The thing about outings with a baby is it can be more tiring than you may think.

Don't take it to heart.. I don't have a website, but I am a mother of a 2 year old, and a 3 month old... Being a mother is HARD WORK...as I'm sure you know.. And feeling sexy is the last thing on one's mind. When she lay's her head on the pillow, I'm almost positive that she is asleep 2 minutes later.. Things will get easier, and she will go back to her sexual self, but until then, just let her be, because you if you put too much pressure on her, she will just treat it as a chore.. You may want to try to get a sitter for the evening, and take her out.. Dressing up is not so much fun either but once the clothes and makeup are on, she will feel much better. You don't have to spend any money, just go for make dinner and go the beach, or park or somewhere, even your back yard and eat together. Get a bottle of wine to help her relax, and just have fun. No talking about money, kids, work.. ect.. I promise, this is a sure thing!

First of all make sure that he really is refluxing.  A swallow study or OPCG (a type of sleep study done overnight in a hospital) could do quite a bit toward getting a proper diagnosis.  If he is refluxing, thickening his feeds could help.  The Enfamil AR has added rice starch that thickens in his tummy, the idea being that it is harder to reflux up thicker fluids.  A soy or hypoallergenic formula could help.  I also know of mothers who swear by Enfamil Gentlease which has partially broken down proteins.  Please discuss with your pediatrician before changing formula.  The pediatrician might have samples available so that you could try several feeds without having to buy a whole large container.  Feeds are usually thickened with 1 tbsp rice cereal to 2 oz of formula.  Make sure you are using the Dr. Brown's Y-cut nipple so that your little one can get formula out! Keep him sitting upright (in a car seat or punkin seat) for 30 minutes to 1 hour after each feed.   Lastly is your baby having plenty of wet diapers?  A condition called pyloric stenosis can develop where the muscle at the end of the stomach becomes too tight and food can't leave the stomach into the intestine.  Babies with pyloric stenosis have projectile vomiting and usually dehydration from the frequent vomiting.  The condition is cured with a simple surgery.  I hope that you find something that will help.  Best wishes.

carry your child like you want to make your child burp after you give your child a milk, until he/she sleep. Then slowly by swing your child put in the cot instead of put your 8 month old direclty into the cot. Let your chilp sleep at yours 1st. Or if your child cot is big enough (the lengths size is like your height), then sleep with your child before slowly let your child sleep alone.

Let them sleep....the body has it's own clock and will wake your son when it needs food. Forced feeding will only lead to obesity. Make sure that he has food available. I mean, don't punish him by making him wait if he has slept through a meal. You might look into the possibility that he has "night owl syndrome". My son does and if I had known there was such a thing during his school years he probably would not have had to deal with the taunting from his teachers and classmates. If you are concerned about his health, maybe it is time for a trip to the doctor.

No! You do not have to let a child under 3 go overnight any where with the father or any one else. Why would you stop doing what is right and healthy for your child for a man who chose to abandon him and now wants to show him off as a treasure? Do you love your son?
