My girl is 3.5YO and has a habit of sucking her thumb to sleep. Its gotten to the point where there is a callus on the spot where she sucks her thumb and I will like to stop this habit. Can any mummy advise where i can get some form of bitter spray to discourage her or any other method to stop thumb sucking?

Hi mummy, you may first want to try talking to her about why is thumb sucking bad. Since she is 3.5yo, she's at the age whereby she might understand to a large extend and would try to make a conscious effort to stop. For example, show her the videos/pictures of germs in their nails/finger. Tell her how she is no longer a baby, or explain how she might not be able to speak properly etc... Motivate and encourage her whenever she attempts to not suck her finger...like a reward system - stickers. Give her a soft toy to cuddle to sleep to keep her hands/fingers busy. Lastly, final attempt, you may try plastic finger guard (i.e leading brands like tguard).

Toddler throwing things on purpose

How do you deal with your toddler throwing things on purpose? My 2 year old knows he isn't allowed to throw my iPhone or iPad but deliberately throws them almost on a daily basis and happily tells me he threw them. I tried talking to him nicely and beating his hand but he still persists...Im just exasperated.. I don't even bother giving him much of a reaction now...

Take those devices away from him. He has to understand consequences.

Toddler’s Poop

Good evening moms and dads! :) i have a question my daughter who is 3years old and 1month is constipated and she only poop every 3 days. Here are the things we’ve tried: 1) My daughter is drinking prune juice 2) Duphalac (laxative) - as given by the Pediatrician 3) Gave her fruits and food that are high on fibre 3) Tried switching milk (from Similac to NAN to Hipp and now back to Similac) My daughter is drinking water but honestly not so much, her Pediatrician doesn’t now what to do. Please advise thank you :) My daughter has been like this around 2 years old and

Try giving probiotics daily . It works for my kids

Hi, I just wanted to share our experience at Baby clinic in our area. We went to the clinic because my daughter that her tummy is aching. Unfortunately, we were the last patient since went their late. At the clinic, my daughter seems fine thank goodness because she’s playing with other kids. Accidentally, she fell from one of the seats (76cm high) so I got her she has a bumped on her head. So, I asked from the reception/assistant if they have ice pack unfortunately they do not have it and nobody assisted us. After a few minutes, she asked us if we want to see the doctor now but of course we want to. The doctor came out, he just looked at the bumped and then told us “i will see you later”. We waited for a few minutes, no assistance, no sense of urgency, well I think for them it’s not an emergency but as a parent it’s different. So we decided to leave, went home and put first aid on our daughter. My take on this, I think they should have firs aid kit since they are a clinic. They can at least apply something on my forehead of my daughter and since they have a playing area for kids, the flooring on that area should be rubber. I know it is an accident but it can be avoided.

Which Clinic is that ?

I have a 16 mth active toddler. He loves walking around, and only allows us to hold his hands in carpark, or dangerous place. Otherwise, he will shake off our hand. In classes, he's the only one who can't sit still to listen, and went around to explore things he's interested. Are these normal at this phase?

Hi~if he still allows u to hold his hands at Carpark or dangerous places means he is still aware of danger. At 16 months they will love to walk and use their tiny hands to feel and explore. Esp when they just started to master walking independently they tends to be more curious. But If u realised that toddler has no eye contacts and doesn't listen to simple instructions such as 'do not touch', 'stop doing it' etc then u need to monitor closer. Hope it helps.

My 19 months old boy doesn’t know how to suck from a straw. Is that normal? Any parents face the same issue too? How can I train him to suck?
