jccjr5 My kids are 6,4,3 and they are not allowed to have soda. I do not feel that it is necessary. Besides the caffeine there is a high amount of sugar too. I never gave them sips of mine either when I had some, that way they never really knew what they were...

What age did you potty train your baby?

babyfuzz @babyfuzz (1078) • Philippines 9 Oct 08

I have read in the book, the Baby Whisperer, that we can start potty training at 9 months since the baby can sit on their own and not later than 2 years old since the baby will be harder to manage at this age. You also need to be...

jccjr5 The problem with trying to train so young is that they just don't understand what you are doing so in turn they are getting frustrated. There is no reason to push these things. Girls tend to train faster than boys. My daughter was 18 mo old when I first...

Smooching your baby could infect him/her with disease.

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 6 Sep 08

Babies are easily infected with diesases because their immune system is still developing. When adults smooch their babies, there is the danger of infecting them with bacteria or virus which came from the outside. The cold virus is...
