Man . . I just read through all these comments. Crazy passionate parents out there . . . I've got a 1.5 year old. Not a good sleeper. My only bit to add is . . . when that boy is tir...

Thanks kdelap. Jean . . . if its REALLY the fire thing you are worried about and kdelap's info didn't change your mind . . . have baby wear the polyester stuff during the day, when sh...

Just got back from a 22 hour "jaunt" with our 13-monther. I made a "snack" cup for him like the ones you can buy by cutting a reverse flower shape into the lid of a cool whip container (round those...
