My 9 y/o boys want to make some toys for our 3 month old baby for Christmas presents. I have a couple of ideas but was wondering if anyone else has any ideas.
Thanks for all your responses.



Answer
oh! small bottles (like small soda, plastic bottles).. have your boys go fill them with rocks and then seal them up.. then take all the plastic wrap off of them and have them decorate them with non toxic paint. makes a really pretty rattle!!

they could make her a little mobil for her crib out of paper cut outs.

you can get a big piece of cloth and get some of that paint made to use on cloth and they could make her a blanket that she can always keep.

maybe they could go build her an animal at build-a-bear. (but i think you can get a set at walmart [usually for girls to play with but in this case, i think its ok] and they can make a bear at home for her).

How can I get my baby to stop sucking her thumb?

My baby is 3 months old and she always wants to suck her thumb. I've given her a pacifier and she spits it out to suck her thumb!! I know it's not a huge deal right now, but I dont want her to be doing this when she is 2-3 years old. Has anyone else had this problem?


Answer
If she wants to suck her thumb at that age, there isn't anything you can do to stop her. it's fine for children to suck their thumbs as long as it's not past age 4 (for dental reasons). You have to break the attachment to a pacifier as well, so there really is no advantage to trying to make her take one. At least with thumb sucking, you don't have get up in the middle of the night to replace it for her, she can do it herself. You can try to encourage her to get attached to a toy as she gets a little older and around age 3 or so, you can try a thumb guard to teach her not to suck anymore.
