I am no longer a parent; my son is happy and well but I can't see him until I get some stuff sorted out.
Parenting Stack Exchange is unbearably sad for me now.
Thanks for the help, and I hope that I was at least some use here.
I welcome friendly chats over email. dan dot bealecocks at googlemail dot com yes that's my real name.

Where can I find good research on long term health impact of different types/brands of infant formula (in the US)? Any particular country? In the UK the law is pretty strict and they're all fairly similar. |

At what age should I expect my daughter to talk? Try and avoid "yes / no" questions, instead make the child use a word. "do you want a bit of chicken, or some avocado?". |

What home-safety aspects should new parents consider? I've tried to fit this question to the Stack Exchange style, but it feels a like a bit of a kludge. Answers I'm looking for would include maybe statistics about injury rates, with suggestions to prevent that. Thus, "In $COUNTRY there are approx $CHILDREN admitted to hospital after poisoning, so make sure that your meds are locked away, but also the meds of any grandparents which is a common source of medication poisoning." |

At what age do kids start sleeping through the night? Original Poster has my sympathy - my one year old wakes about 4 times a night every night, and is wide awake and ready to get out of bed at 5:00am (which we've just pushed back from 4:00am). mods - delete this if too chatty, thanks. |

When should I introduce different foods to an infant or toddler? The no-honey rule has been changed recently. The risk of infant botulism was tiny. Having said that, honey is just sugar, so it's still not a great food for children. |

Should we discourage our toddler from taking sippy cups to bed? Adding a comment here - tooth decay is a major cause for hospital admission for children in the UK. And it is getting worse, not better, according to this report. <telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/4699838/…; |

How do you determine what the age-appropriate foods for a baby are? I'd be careful about some vitamins for babies older than 6 months. And baby led weaning is fantastic, but (obviously!) be careful about salt. |
