Installing car seat base…how tight is good enough? I put my knees on the base with all of my weight then tighten the belt. When done the base feels like it is a solid part of the car. In my Honda Element the back seats recline making it really easy to recline the seat, install the base, then bring the seat back up locking it in place. |

How do we discourage our infant from pulling hair? My wife and I both have long hair and our only solution at that age was to keep our hair out of his reach. In fact at 2 years old that is still our most often used method, but he has gotten much better at listening to us when we tell him it hurts. |

2 year old wont sleep I am sorry that I do not have an answer for you, but I am very curious about your question as some friends have had similar experiences. Did you previously co-sleep with your child? Did he previously sleep in a room with someone else? Have you recently moved him to a "grown-up bed" from a crib? |

Is it ok for my baby to sleep in his swing? We used a Graco swing a lot like this one and on some rough nights where Eli would not sleep in the crib we were able to get him to fall asleep in the swing. It saved our sanity a number of times. Ours had a choice of music, ocean waves, and a very creepy heart beat sound, he like each one of them at one time or another. |

What to do when the pinky is the only way to soothe a newborn? We did not follow the "happiest baby" method exactly, but we did attend a class where it was taught. The swaddling and shushing worked well for us until a certain age. So did firm patting on the back while rocking. I feel like we have lucked out in that our child was not really fond of pacifiers. |

How long should I wait before I permit my children to have access to caffeine? I can attest to the addictiveness of caffeine, before my son was born I only drank caffeine once or twice a year when I really needed to stay awake, but now I drink it every day and it has lost most of its effectiveness and I need it just to feel normal in the morning. Also when I don't have it I get headaches and tend to be cranky. I hope to kick the addiction soon and hope to keep my child as caffeine free as he is willing to be. |
