We are going to a family reunion next month where the three grandchildren from my dad’s side of the family will be together for the first time. We want to get pictures done and we don’t want the children to look identical, but we want them to look good together.

Places like Gymboree and Old Navy have cute stuff for girls, but I can’t find a matching boy outfit. Another problem we have is the girls are size 12 months and the boy is 2T.

Any ideas?

What age was your child when you let them sleep in the crib with blankets? How about a pillow? I know you are not supposed to have anything in the crib until they are 12 months old. We did not allow anything in the crib with our daughter. I’m just asking at what age did you let your child sleep with blankets in the crib. What size was the blanket?

Where do you buy your baby's clothing?




I’m pregnant with boy/girl twins and I’ve been shopping around for clothing for them. I’ve gotten clothes mostly in 3-6, 6-9, and 12 months simply because I know I’ll get plenty of preemie, newborn, and 0-3 months at my shower next week.

What I’ve noticed is that it’s really hard to find cute clothes for BOYS, but girl clothes are easy to find. Where do you get your baby clothes?

Just curious if anyone else thinks it’s a bit old that sooooo many teenagers are posting their adolescence questions in the toddler and preschooler category? Is it truly possible that sooo many people have no idea what the word adolescent means? Just wondering what other people think. Thanks! Or should they go by ages, i.e. 0-12 months, 1-3,3-5 etc?

The four fang teeth in the front, the last of the teeth to come in before the 2 year molars? Bradley is 17 months old and the poor thing is getting in all 4 canines at the same time! He hasn’t slept a good night’s sleep in two weeks, he wakes up everday from his nap with a fever and drooling and he’s is grinding his teeth constantly. He calls his medicine (ibuprophen) "satin" and constantly whines that he wants "satin" which tells me he is pain a lot (I try to only give him it at night). When did your toddler get their canines and how did they do with them? Any suggestions for helping the little guy? Orajel is useless and he hates frozen washclothes.
Very Proud Mommy: I ALMOST felt stupid…..until I made sure I WAS right about calling them canines.

My son turned one on November 10th. He is quickly out growing his 12 month pajamas and onesies. I went to replace some of them this weekend with the next size up, however I could not find anything that fit him. Wal-Mart and Target stopped their infant sizes at 12 months. The next size I could find is 2T but those clothes were ridiculously huge. Surely I am not the first mom to deal with this. Is there an 18 month size or a 1T?

What area of San Salvador is the best place to find baby clothes size 1yr/12 months. I know there are lots of street vendors, just wondering if there was a good suggested place or a particular store that I could look for.

I have somewhat recently discovered that when you buy clothes for your infant that the sizes are 0-3 , 3-6 , 6-9 , ??? , 12 mos….why isnt there a 9-12 months?

Toddler clothes sizes?




My sister gave me a bunch of toddler clothes for my baby when he gets older. As I’m going through sorting them by size I got confused! Is 24 months and 2T the same? And 12 months and 1T?

I have a 8 year old but have seem to forgot how some things work. Funny how that goes!!
