Toddlers with thrush are not happy toddlers! If your toddler has those tell-tale white patches of yeast overgrowth on the tongue, inside the cheeks and/or on the gums, then you know your child has thrush. Without the right approach, toddler’s thrush can be tricky to treat, as the yeast cells are quite adaptable and resilient.
Toddlers’ thrush has become increasingly more common for many reasons, two of the most important being use of antibiotics combined with excessive sugar (even fruit juice) and refined carbohydrates in the diet.
If your toddler has been prescribed antibiotics even one time, or even if he or she was exposed to antibiotics during labor and delivery, then your child’s natural yeast defenses were practically wiped out. This means that your child is at increased risk not only for thrush, but other infections as well - such as colds and flus, ear infections and even bacterial blood infections, which are quite rare but can be fatal.
If you take your toddler to the pediatrician, they’ll probably suggest you treat your toddler’s thrush with a prescription anti-fungal such as Diflucan or Nystatin. However, Diflucan and other common anti-fungals carry the risks of serious side effects (even seizures and liver failure.) Personally, I would only use them in the case of a true medical emergency.
While Nystatin is not as toxic, it does carry the risk of causing the yeast to mutate into a more difficult-to-treat form. Nystatin is also not effective for many cases of thrush, as they yeast cells are often resistant to it. Another problem with Nystatin is that it is mixed with sugar to make it palatable enough to use for toddler’s thrush, but yeast loves sugar! Some moms find the thrush gets even worse with the use of Nystatin.
With over 15 years of experience in the natural health industry, I’ve found that - by far - the best way to treat toddlers’ thrush is with a simply, natural and holistic approach that not only gets rid of the yeast quickly and permanently, but also cures the underlying imbalance that allowed the yeast to grow out of control in the first place. This also means your child will enjoy better health, including increased immunity and decreased risk for allergies and asthma.

Although it is very common, watching toddlers holding their breath can be a frightful thing for a parent to experience. Some call it the ‘nuclear option’ in a child’s weaponry. About 20 percent of toddlers use this technique to express their discontent or to get what they want - and considering the effect, they often do.
These spells are usually part of a child’s temper tantrums. Here are a few common signs to look out for:
o Breathing out forcefully followed by holding breath for a long time
o Turning pale or blue
Soon after one of the above signs show up, chances are your toddlers will pass out and collapse to the ground. In some cases, your toddler’s legs and arms may twitch and the body may suffer mild convolutions. This situation usually lasts for under a minute and is not a medical condition over which you should be worried.
Even though this is a common tantrum it should be stringently discouraged. Here are a few tips on how to avoid a breath-holding tantrum in your toddler:
o Do not pay overmuch attention to such tantrums.
o Find out the possible cause behind such behavior and eliminate the cause.
o Try to divert your toddler’s attention to a pleasant situation making the toddler forget the whole idea of breath holding.
If your toddler succumbs to this tantrum, remember:
o Do not panic-toddlers may take advantage of the fact that you are scared and resort to tantrums more often to get what they want.
o Make your toddler lie down to increase the flow of blood to the brain and within seconds it will be alright.
o The first time this happens, you may consider taking your toddler to the doctor to ensure it is a breath-holding tantrum indeed.

Recently I have done a fair bit of research into which milk is best for toddlers as many mums seem to be concerned about whether their little ones should be drinking cows milk, low fat milk or toddler formula beyond their first birthday.
The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for a baby’s first 6 months and for breastfeeding to continue until at least 2 years of age. So I guess if you’re breastfeeding your toddler then the formula verses cow’s milk issue isn’t relevant to you, that’s one less thing to worry about, YAY!
The Australian manufacturers and importers of infant formula have entered into a voluntary agreement that adheres to the principles of the World Health Organisation’s International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes. Basically the code and the agreement prevent formula for babies 12 months and under to be advertised in Australia. The reason for this agreement and its advertising restrictions is to protect breastfeeding.
However, these restrictions do not apply to toddler and follow on formulas. So by labelling toddler formulas as “gold” or “formula”, marketing companies are able to advertise baby formula simply by association. This may be one of the reasons for such heavy advertising of toddler formulas.
Bellinda Kontominas a Medical Reporter for the Sydney Morning Herald (06/09/07) quotes a Sydney paediatrician Dr Patricia McVeagh as she said “Unfortunately the advertising preys on parents’ vulnerability… Nutritionally there is no need for toddler milk in healthy kids, and it’s much better to have 600 millilitres of cow’s milk or a cow’s milk product like cheese or yoghurt.”
While many nutritionists will tell you that formula is the equivalent of junk food, I guess to be fair it does have its place. It can supplement the diet of fussy eaters and children that could be missing out on iron and calcium due to their restricted diets. And while there are other ways to combat fussiness there are times when real life takes over and the demands of work, other children, partners etc can make toddler formulas convenient.
During my research I was surprised to find that it has been recommended in the National Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents that all children in Australia over the age of 2 years consume reduced-fat milk. This is because the saturated fats in full fat milk accumulate in the arteries over time increasing the risk of heart disease, and that the reduced-fat milk varieties generally contain more calcium than the full fat milks.
On the other hand, toddlers between the ages of 12 - 24 months do need the full fat milks and while soy milk shouldn’t be offered to babies under 12 months, toddlers over 2 years with a lactose intolerance can be offered soy milk that contains added calcium.
So at the end of the day keeping things simple is usually the best way to go. Cows milk is great for toddlers, it contains everything they need to grow healthy and strong. It’s cheaper than formula, easily available if you’re out, it’s great on cereal and it’s something you wont have to wean your toddler off as they get older. So why complicate things by using toddler formula if you don’t have to?

Most babies are born into the world curious and learning their environment. In addition, toddlers can be very mischievous during playtime. Many parents try to encourage learning in their children in the early stages of development. There are some parents that develop toddler lessons plans to help their children with getting an early start on learning activities for Preschool.
It is really easy to implement daily lesson plans to your toddler. You can teach and entertain the child with common household items. Also, this can help with developing creativity in the child. In addition, this allows quality time between the parent and child. As well as, you can make chores fun for the toddler by making the work into a game.
Imitation is one of the ways to help with teaching learning activities to children. Most children really enjoy imitating their parents, siblings and other adults. If you want to teach the child about animals then do some impersonations of the animals.
For example, if you wanted to teach the child how to identify dogs then you would get down on all fours and start barking likes a particular dog. You can ask the child to imitate your actions and identify the dog.
The imitations can be done for a variety of animals like tigers, monkeys, birds and cats. The conversation can go further by talking about characteristics of the animals.
In addition, you can talk about the relationship between animals and their parents. It could help to explain how an animal like a mother bear is protective of her cubs. This type of activity allows learning to be fun for the child.
Exercising is one of the toddler lesson plans that can teach the child about music and dancing. Also, this is a way for the parent to teach the child and exercise at the same time. Most children enjoy listening and moving to the beat of music.
Some studies have revealed that music can develop some parts of the brain in children. In addition, you can make up an entire dance routine to the song with the child. Exercise time can be used to teach the child about different genres of music.
One week the child can learn classical music and the next week can be for learning jazz. As well as, the dancing activity will be a workout for the child. Moreover, this learning activity will help with developing motor skills, listening skills and imaginative skills in the child.
Teaching the child athletic ability can be another fun activity for the child. You can teach the child about basketball with simple household chores. For example, the child can be taught how to shoot with the dirty laundry. First, you would ask the child to help with collecting the laundry and put the clothes in a stack.
A laundry basket would be set up across the room. In addition, you would teach the child how to shoot and aim for the basket with the clothes. The next step would be taking the laundry to the washing machine and allowing the child to help with putting the laundry in the machine. The child will learn two lessons from this learning such as responsibility and how to play basketball.
Learning activities should help the child with building responsibility and becoming more knowledgeable about the world. Furthermore, toddler lesson plans should involve any learning activity that will develop the child’s motor skills.

We’ve all seen it. The toddler weeping as if her little heart will break as she clings to her mother’s pant leg, absolutely determined not to let Mom out of her sight. Meanwhile, teacher, grandparent, or sitter stand by, desperately trying to coax the little Cling-On away with noise making toys, promises of ice cream for dinner and visions of “what FUN we’re going to have.” Mom then does one of two things. She stops, gathers her little one in her arms, and coos and cuddles her, calming her down and thus giving in completely. You can already see the wheels turning (”Well, I’ll call Janice and just reschedule lunch for sometime next week. She’ll understand.”). Or, flushing red with embarrassment at the attention the predicament is causing, she extracts her leg from her little one and flees in a panic, determined to get as far away as possible as quickly as possible.
So which reaction is the RIGHT one? Neither.
By giving in and staying with your little one, you are inadvertently teaching her to cry and throw a tantrum until she gets what she wants. In this case, Mommy to stay.
By beating a quick retreat, you are causing temporary separations to seem like abandonment in the eyes of your toddler. This only leads to a drastic increase in fear and panic whenever you must be apart.
Okay know it all, you’re saying, so what am I SUPPOSED to do? How would YOU handle the situation when you have banana now smeared all over your new silk pants, you’re cruising on three hours sleep,one cup of coffee, and you’re not even sure you remembered to rinse the shampoo out of your hair in the shower this morning? Teach us, oh enlightened one.
Well, don’t get snippy about it, but I will. (By the way, I haven’t put on deodorant in over 24 hours, and I think I may currently have a hunk of half eaten pancake in my hair. Just wanted to share so you’d know we really are on the same page here.) 
The best way to handle these necessary separations involves a few basic steps.
- Prepare your toddler ahead of time. Remind them the night before, the morning of, and on the way in the car. “Mommy has to go meet someone, but you get to spend time with Grams and Poppy today, and you guys are going to do all sorts of neat things!” Or “Grandma and Grandpa Billy Goat (okay, this may make no sense to you, but my family understands what I mean) are going to take you to the zoo this afternoon, won’t that be fun?”
- Make the ‘trade-off’ quickly. When you arrive at your destination, carry your child if possible. Then hand your child over to the sitter (you can do this in your living room too), or at preschool set your child down with other kids who are already involved with toys or something interesting. This is telling your child, okay, you were with Mommy or Daddy, now you’re going to spend some time with Grandma, or stay here and play with these kids.
- Give your child a kiss, say something upbeat “See you later!”, “Be back before you know it!”, and get out. Do not stand around and discuss anything with the teacher (if this needs to be done, ask the teacher to step outside the room with you - out of sight of your little one - or make an appt for when you come back at the end of the day). Don’t catch up with Grams, save that for over the phone or later on when you’re together. This quick, definitive action teaches your child some key things. Primarily, that this IS happening, and there is no use getting upset over it. And secondly, that being separated is no big deal. It might even be fun.
Let’s also all understand that there are going to be good days and bad days. There WILL be days where you walk out of the room to the sound of your precious, adorable little child screaming in a violent rage of protest. And that sound is going to rip your heart out with a jagged knife and shred your stomach to bits with a rusty fork. You may very well get to your car and find yourself beating the steering wheel mercilessly and smearing your mascara around to your ear. AND THAT’S OKAY. It’s natural to feel upset about being separated from your child, just as it is natural for them to feel the same being separated from you.
Just remember that what you’re working towards is establishing your child’s independence and confidence in themselves. Your child is no longer simply an extension of you. They are their own amazing little individual, and they need the chance to understand that.
And giving them that chance is worth buying a padded steering wheel cover or reapplying as much mascara as necessary.

Buying as good pair of shoes for your baby or toddler can be a difficult business, and also an expensive one. Trying to squeeze your fractious child’s foot into yet another pair of shoes whilst listening attentively to the assistant explaining the virtues of this particular brand, style and shape can become a monumental task and one liable to cause you to lose your nerve very easily. When faced with the astronomical cost of shoes for toddlers it can seem tempting to purchase cheaper alternatives. Certainly supermarkets offer a wide choice of children’s clothing lines, including shoes, and for a very good price.
However, the problem is that shoes for toddlers are of paramount importance. Two things will be happening to your toddler at the same stage that they need shoes. The first is that they are learning to stand, walk and run, all of which require good balance, control, grip and confidence of movement. The second thing is that their bones, muscles and joints will all be growing, developing, strengthening and prone to being easily misshaped or damaged if the wrong type of shoe is worn. Cheap shoes offer little support, and it can lead to the child developing bad posture, or even weakened or distorted joints, including bow leggedness.
As far as children’s shoes are concerned, particularly in the early formative years, it is well worth spending the extra money on a really good quality pair of shoes. Not only will they provide much greater support and encourage good posture and walking technique, but they are far more likely to last.
Cheaper shoes tend to have glued seams, whereas more expensive shoes are sewn. Seams on shoes that are sewn are very much stronger than glued ones, and with the rough treatment likely to be encountered on a toddler’s feet, durability is important.
Another aspect to consider is how the shoes will be done up. Laces look classic, and are harder for the child to undo themselves, especially if they are tied in a double knot. The laces can also be used to pull the sides of the shoe together evenly, and creates a better chance of the shoe remaining on the foot. Velcro on the other hand is much quicker and easier to do up and undo. However, your child will quickly realise this themselves, and along with the incredibly satisfying ripping sound they discover they can make with it, they’ll be undoing their shoe faster than you can put it back on their feet, and this can lead to all sorts of problems.
The style and pattern of the sole of the shoe will be important too. Having a good tread will help enormously in providing s good grip, especially when they try their hand (or foot) at mountaineering, wanting to climb up every step, get up on to every object they can and generally try getting everywhere. A deep, reliable tread will help them to gain their balance and learn to trust their judgement more when walking and running.
If in any doubt, use two critics when buying your toddler shoes. Use the trained professional who will help you choose shoes which are appropriate, supportive and the right size. But make sure you listen to your toddler too. If all they want to do is sit, or take their shoes off, then maybe another choice might be worth a look.

You are so excited. Your child is finally ready for a toddler bed! Your child is so happy! Until……Bedtime! Your sweet little angel turns into a monster right before your eyes! Toddler bedtime tantrums can be very frustrating and can last for hours! There are some parenting help tips available for putting your toddler to bed and getting back that sweet little angel at bedtime!
The most important thing you can do for your toddler and your sanity is to establish a bedtime routine. Routines help children to feel safe and to learn their boundaries. A routine can be anything you and your child create. Make it fun and relaxing. The important thing is to be consistent. This is how your child will know what to expect each and every night. Eventually, the tantrums will go away, and bedtime will actually be something he looks forward to.
Parenting tips for Establishing a Bedtime Routine
oGive your child a head’s up that bedtime is in 15 minutes. If they have an idea that it is coming up, they will not be as shocked when it is bedtime. Try saying it will be time for a story or bath in 15 minutes instead of saying it is time for bed. Just the word bed can start a tantrum. They will know what follows, if you have established a nightly routine.
oRemind him in about 5 minutes before story time or bath time. Have him help you pick up toys during this time each night. This will help him prepare for the bedtime routine.
oAs soon as it is time, quietly tell him it is time for a story or bath and direct him to the bedroom or bathroom. Your toddler will likely try to come up with a million reasons why he has to do something right now, but remain calm and insist that it is time to go now.
oBe firm and consistent when it is time to start the routine. Most children will try to push the boundaries. Just do not give in. Your child is looking up to you to make the decisions that will impact his life.
oDon’t rush your child. Be sure to allow enough time for your child to be able to go through the entire routine calmly. If you rush him, he will know that you are trying to get him into bed, and the routine will backfire into a tantrum. The routine should be about spending quiet quality time with your child.
oGive a warm, soothing bath. This is one of the oldest successful traditions to include in your bedtime routine. A warm bath will help your toddler calm down. Add a little lavender or chamomile oil to help your child relax. Don’t add too many toys to keep him calm.
oBrush teeth. Establish this healthy habit early on and it will remain with them through school age years.
oGo potty and get a drink. This is one of the most common culprits of bedtime issues. They always have to go to the bathroom or get a drink after they get into bed. Include this in their routine, and be firm about not going after getting into bed.
oPut on pajamas. Let your child pick between two pair of pajamas. Make it their choice.
oBedtime stories are a child’s favorite part of the bedtime routine. Children feel comfort from listening to your voice while trying to fall asleep. Try making up stories and including family members as characters. Reading to your child each night will help her develop a creative mind and spark new interests.
oSing a Lullaby. Do not worry about whether you can sing or not. To your child, you are the best singer in the world. Singing a lullaby will calm him down and will make him feel secure in his home. Consider playing soft music.
oSay prayers. If this is a part of your nightly routine, you could say a prayer with your child and for your child. It sometimes helps them feel safe when you pray for them.
oChat with your child. Discuss what you two did today and ask your child the best and worst things that happened today. Even toddlers have worries. If they can discuss this with you, it may help them get to sleep.
oSay goodnight in a special way. Create a special goodnight saying. Or give a special hug or butterfly kiss. This can be a special tradition that they can pass on to their children someday. It makes them feel special and loved.
Sleep is important for everyone and even more so for children. When your child does not get enough sleep, it can affect every part of his day. It will make him grumpy and he will not be able to control his emotions very well. Be consistent in your bedtime routine. Make it special and unique. Make it something he will look forward to at the end of the day. It takes a lot of patience in the beginning, but your little angel will be back in no time at bedtime!

Stuttering toddlers often have their parents gravely overconcerned. They wonder about whether they are doing anything wrong and how to counteract the verbal influency. Fact is, that a certain degree of stuttering in toddlers is completely natural. As the young brain is fed with an overload of new information every day, the child becomes more and more confident of itself and its abilities. There are however times when the child will be simply asking too much, causing the already extremely busy brain to hamper.
During the time when a child is developing linguistic and speech skills, a child will often challenge itself in trying new sentences or words. As the brain is not always able to supply these words instantaneously, speech starts to hamper as your child is searching for words. To put it shortly, the brain is out of sync with the muscles and nerves that control speech. This type of stuttering is completely benign and will usually fade away as the child ages.
When to be concerned
Unfortunately, not all stuttering patterns go away. Should you notice any of the following behavioral or speech patterns in a toddler, it would be wise to investigate the matter further with a speech therapist:
Excessive prolongation of sounds (”ccccccan I have wwwwwater?”). Syllabile repetition (”can I have wa-wa-wa-water?”). Substitution of a weak vowel for a stronger one in syllable repetitions (”can I have wuh-wuh-wuh-water?”) Signs of extreme struggle and tension when your child is trying to speak. Avoidance of speaking due to the difficulty associated. Rising pitch and/or loudness as the child ‘hangs’ on a word or syllable.
Note that observing these traits does not necessarily imply your toddler will stutter for a lifetime. Remember that many cases of stuttering simply resolve themselves with age.
What to and not to do
If your child stutters, remember to always try and keep stress levels to a minimum. Address your child in a calm manner and create an ambience of smooth, calm conversation. Make sure your child keeps exercising by keeping speech fun: make up rhymes, songs and games involving speech. Also, you should always allow your child to express his or her thoughts. Make sure you give them your undivided attention and convey to them that you’re listening to what your child has to say, not how he or she says it.
There are some things you will want to avoid at all costs. First of all, never-ever complete a stutterer’s sentences, even when you know what he or she is about to say. Also, never-ever attempt to force your child to stop stuttering by asking him or her to repeat the sentence “without stuttering this time”. This will not work, is humiliating and will severely hurt self-esteem. For much the same reason, you have to make sure you never seem disappointed or annoyed by the stuttering.
Stuttering treatment
Toddlers who show signs of intermediate to severe speech disfluency, need to be evaluated by a speech therapist.

Most children do not have an actual sleep problem and are not predisposed to being a ‘bad sleeper’. What children develop is a ’sleep association’ that interferes with their normal sleep cycle. A sleep association can range from being rocked, cuddled, having a drink or sung too in order to fall asleep. The child requires this same stimulus when they wake in the night, this often requires a parent or guardian to intervene, therefore disturbing their own sleep and the ‘no sleep’ cycle continues to spiral.
There are several techniques that can be implemented in order to help children eliminate nighttime wakings for many of the associations that they develop. It is important to keep a baby or toddler on a daily schedule; what they eat and drink during the day as well as the amount of sleep they acquire and at what time all have a major impact on the child’s as well as the parent’s nighttime sleep.
If your child is experiencing any sleep problems at bedtime or during the night and you are drained from lack of sleep it may be time to contact a sleep consultant. Dawnn Whittaker of Cheeky Chops is a Baby Contentment & Sleep Consultant and has successfully helped numerous parents solve baby and toddler bedtime battles.
A Tip from Dawnn Whittaker: Keep a log of the amount your child eats sleeps and drinks over a 24 hour period and at what time. Study this information over a period of time and it may help you eliminate night feeding or indicate what is causing them.
