general questions

[Guest guest]

Hey girls!!

My name is and I am Mom to Maddison, 16 months with RSS. We

seem to have a lot less problems than most people here so far. But I

have thought of regular questions for you all with old RSS kids. For

example, since RSS kids are a lot smaller when is it time to come out

of a crib and feel safe?! Also, Maddison is not on a feeding tube of

any kind so she gets all of her Pediasure from the bottle still. She

will only take it in a bottle. She drinks tea from a sippy cup. We

have tried to get her to take the Pediasure from a sippy cup but it

isn't happening. Also I have recently started waking her up at night

to give her a bottle because I have learned about hypoglycemia from

the group and she is half asleep then and I give her the bottle

then. When have some of everyones childred come off a bottle? Our

dentist of course said to get her off the bottle but she doesn't

realize that she will not take the Pediasure any other way and we

have to have all of it we can get in her. Does anyone have any

suggestions. I don't thinks it would be hard at all to take her off

the bottle accept for the huge fact that it is where she gets all her

Pediasure so what do you do?(well maybe accept at bedtime. Also

another problem we have is that she has to fall asleep with the

bottle in her mouth or she doesn't go to sleep. There is no rocking

her to sleep, she screams bloody murder. Do any of your childred

still do this? But in a way it is good sometimes because she usually

takes a good bit of the Pediasure when she is almost asleep, so its

like there is no winning because she needs all she can get.!!

Sorry I skip around so much, my thoughts get ahead of me.

If anyone has ANY suggestions or comments or stories please feel free

to respond, don't be affraid to be honest, I know this is mostly my

fault for turning things into habits.

learning who is mom to who and being able to remember what is going

on in everyones situation I look forward to meeting everyone.
