comment Stopping a toddler playing with his belly button
What's with the downvotes? Often doing nothing is the best solution: if it's not an actual problem, don't make it one. Bandaids, insisting that he not touch etc it will just lead to unnecessary drama and possibly even body image issues.

Night terrors, I'd imagine.

comment Any advice on how to react to my 4 year old who gets hysterical instead of solving her “problem”?
Sorry if I came off as harsh, but the idea is that useful info (eg. at least a summary of the book) should be posted here, instead of just pointing people at links that may disappear tomorrow.

Please don't post the same link in multiple places. parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/6967/…

That'd be awesome. Think of all the money you could make by suing their pants off!

comment Can you detect peanut allergies in babies from kissing on the cheek?
There are ~3.3 million people in the US with nut allergies, yet only ~18 deaths yearly from all food allergies combined, vs. around 32,000 from traffic accidents. It's thus pretty likely that driving to the specialist and back is more dangerous!

comment Can you detect peanut allergies in babies from kissing on the cheek?
If the OP's son had such an extreme peanut allergy that merely being in the presence of peanut butter is life-threatening, they would have gotten more than red bumps on the cheek from that kiss.

comment Raising a tri-lingual child, tricky context
If the child lives in Sweden, goes to a Swedish-language daycare and continues in a Swedish-speaking school, they will speak fluent Swedish, period. The hard part will actually be ensuring that they keep speaking the other languages with you!

comment Co-sleeping with a crawler
@GdD: Our bedroom is carpeted, and it would be a good idea to cover your floor as well if you've got a clueless crawler in bed. But even a fall onto a hard floor won't cause much damage; remember, he'll be falling an equivalent distance multiple times daily when he starts (trying to) walk.

comment Co-sleeping with a crawler
That's just silly, unless your bed is two meters high or something. Our baby is super-active, and he's never fallen off the bed while we're asleep -- and while he did fall off a few times when he first started crawling, literally within days he figured out that he has to go down butt first.
