My almost 5 month old has been refusing the bottle for the last 3 days. We end up having to force him to drink, after much crying. He has also been very aggressively scratching his head and throwing his head back and arching his back. He will throw himself back like that all day unless we're playing, he has a pacifier in, or he's asleep. I know he's teething. Any advice? Should I just call his doctor?

I had a baby in March and was supposed to go back to work about mid May. Well right before I was supposed to go back to work I was laid off. They said it was due to budgets and the economy etc. So I’ve been on the job hunt and recently saw a job posting from my previous company for my exact job role. Do I have any recourse or should I just ignore that and move on?

Question: anyone else gone through this and what did you do to get your toddler to sleep through the night.

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
