Breath Holding Spells
What could it be when a 2 year old faints and goes stiff and tuns a purple color. It kind of looks like she went into shock. My daughter been doing that since she's been 6 months old.

Co-Sleeping
My 3-year-old son still sleeps with me. I just got a new part-time nanny and she says I'm stunting his development. Now I'm starting to feel guilty. Am I copping out?

Delayed Speech
I have a 2-1/2 year old who can say her numbers and some other words but not simple sentences; all she does is babble.

Picky Eater
My 4-year old loves fruit and vegetables, so that's not a concern, but he doesn't seem to like anything else anymore.

Risks of Drinking Too Much Milk
My son is 21 months old and I am concerned that he may be drinking too much milk. Is this possible? He is a good eater and eats very healthy but he loves milk (he is on homogenized milk).

Sleeping Problems
I have 4 kids and I would like them all in bed at a reasonable hour so I can have some peace and quiet! Also I am pretty sleep deprived.

Temper Tantrums
I'm mother to two boys, ages 4 1/2 and 1 1/2. I've got a problem with the oldest and I'm not sure what to do anymore.

Toilet Training
I am at home almost full time with my 2 year old boy, and we have just reached the Pee in Big Toilet stage. Anyone care to share toilet training tips with me?
