Soothe Sibling Rivalry

A new baby in the house can stir all kinds of emotions, including jealousy felt by older brothers or sisters. Toddlers in particular may react by misbehaving, acting younger than they are or vying for your attention more than usual.

Hair Aware

It's normal for the hair your baby was born with to fall out during her first few months and be replaced by permanent hair. You may also notice bald patches where she turns her head against the crib mattress, car seat or playpen. Some babies also lose hair if you brush it too vigorously or try to pull it into a tight ponytail. There's no reason for concern unless your little one continues to lose a lot of hair after six months; then you may want to call your pediatrician.

Lights Out

A good night's sleep is essential to both you and your toddler. If your little one can't sleep because she's afraid of the dark or she gets disoriented and upset after waking in a dark room, a nightlight can be a simple solution. Some pediatric sleep disorder experts say a nightlight is fine if it helps calm your child or makes it easier for you to check on her. Just be sure the light is low so she won't be tempted to get up and read or play during the night.
