Peapod Travel Bed/tent?

Has anyone tried the Pea Pod travel bed/tent? My daughter is now too long for the pack and play but SO not ready for a big bed. We have a fair amount of travel over the next several months and I'm looking into other options. Someone recommended the PeaPod and I was just curious if anyone else has tried it. If so, did it work well and how old were the kids. Thanks!

Need Advice: Changing OB/GYN Late in Pregnancy

I've been getting prenatal care from my OB/GYN since my 6th week of pregnancy. I've endured unprofessional attitudes from his staff and just recently had an experience with an ultrasound technician that has made we and my husband want to change doctors. The doctor has a nonchalant type of personality which didn't bother me much until recently. At one point in my pregnancy, I was told to lose weight, then I was told to gain weight. Recently I was told that I'm measuring bigger than I should at this point in time, but I didn't weigh as...

A 5 Year Old That Constantly Lies

I am about at wits end. I have a 5 year old little girl that has developed a lying problem. And I am out of ideas of how to fix it. Eventually she will tell us the truth but I have to sit and think how probable it is that she is telling the truth (about anything) and then ask her 4 or 5 times before she will admit the truth. I have tried just talking to her about it and explaining that what she is doing is wrong. I have tried the "it hurts mommys feelings when you lie" route. I have taken away toys, movie night, play time.... you name it....

Appropriate Punishment - 5 Year Old Lost Glasses

My daughter (who just turned 5) started wearing glasses at the end of March. I made it very clear to her that whenever she is not wearing the glasses they must go into the case on her bathroom counter away from her younger sister. On top of that rule we also made it a rule that she only wears them when she is at preschool. She takes them off when she gets home and puts them directly in her case. Tonight she came to me and told me that her glasses case was empty and she couldn't fine her glasses. She did not have preschool today so she...

My Baby Has a Cold

My 8 1/2 week old little girls has a cold. She has mucus in the back of her throat and in her nose. Yesterday she started the coughing which means it has moved to her chest. Last night when I put her to bed it sounded like she was choking so I decided to put her in bed with me so if she did start to choke I would be right there. (She usually sleeps in a bassinet right next to me.) My question to you Mommies is what can I do to help her get over this cold faster? We adults would take some cold medicine and call it a day but what do you do...

5 Years Old Potty Training

My 5 year old daughter is still not responding to toilet training. I have tried everything from prizes to stickers to be a "big" girl. I was told when she was four if by five she still was not responding they might do tests. My doctor on her 5th year appointment just blew it off and said for me to try again. I not sure what to try or do. I was thinking of getting a second opinion but I like our pediatrician but I not sure if I am overreacting. I worried because She does not care if she is wet and I can not tell if she even realizes...
