Although crying is perfectly normal for a baby, it can be distressing for you and her. Colic, or extreme crying for no apparent reason, typically occurs between three weeks and three months of age, lasts more than three hours a day, at least three days a week and at least three consecutive weeks. Doctors don't know what causes it, but it usually goes away by itself by the time she reaches three months. In the meantime, try calming her with soft talking or singing or a gentle ride or walk.

It seems like fruit juice and juice drinks would be healthy for your growing toddler, but did you know you can give him too much of a good thing? Fruit juice tastes good and is often packaged so it's easy to carry around, but the American Academy of Pediatrics says excess juice can contribute to dental caries and diarrhea. Toddlers one to six years old should be limited to four to six ounces per day as part of a meal or snack rather than sipping throughout the day.
