Toddler Boys Pants
Adapting to a New Baby
A new baby means an additional member in your family that you have to take care of. A baby entails changes in everything in your family: schedules, attention, etc. A baby can be threatening to your spouse, especially if it's a couple's first baby.
A baby can mean less attention to your spouse. And they might feel a little bit jealous about the attention a mother gives to the baby. So for couples with a new baby, here are some tips to help couples stay connected. First, couples should not let a baby hinder partners to spend time together. Allot couples' time, you can hire a baby sitter or exchange childcare with another parent during your couple's time.
Couples should solve problems together. If one of you has a problem with the other it becomes a problem for both of you. Thus, couples should find ways to work out problems respectfully. They should also be nice to each and not take for granted their marriage. They should continue taking care of each other and not just the baby: be respectful, appreciative and helpful.
Also, couples should talk about other things other than the baby: current events, classes, community activities, future, etc. Most importantly, spouses should continue demonstrating their love for each other and not just the baby. Everyone needs a hug, a kiss and hearing "I love you."
For couples with an older child, the arrival of a new baby can also cause emotional upset for the first child. A new baby means that the older child's role expands to that of a big brother or sister. Thus, couples should also help their first child adapt to the newborn.
To help an older child adapt to a new baby, parents can assign baby related chores to the older child. This will help the child feel included in his or her sibling's new life. Depending on the age of the baby, the older child can be responsible for bringing diapers when the baby needs a change or answering the phone and taking messages while the mother is breastfeeding. This will help the child feel needed.
Another way to keep the older child feel included is to ask for his or her opinion when the new baby is fussy. This will help the child understand a baby's needs and can put them at ease with the baby.
Parents should also find time for the older child. Families should find time to get together: watch television, read or eat breakfast together. Parents also need to talk to their child about his feelings towards the baby. This will encourage him to express his emotions and share ideas for overcoming feelings of jealousy. And lastly, parents should exercise patience when small disruption arises. Getting angry with your older child can reinforce negative behavior and increase feelings of jealousy. Showing tolerance and understanding will promote a peaceful adapting period. These are some of the things a family needs to do to cope with a new baby.

QUESTION:
Pant pads for boys? - toddler toilet training?
I have read in a couple of books about some disposable pant pads (a bit like sanitary towels) that you can slip in your childs pants to catch any leaks while toilet training.
I have asked around in a few major stores but nobody seems to know what i am talking about!
Has anybody else heard of them or do you know anywhere i can get them from?
I am in the UK but a website that delivers worldwide would also be very helpful, thank you.
I have already been through the pull up pant stage, we are now in real pants. He just has little accidents sometimes before he gets to the toilet - not full on wet, just little dribbles which is why i think they might be helpful until he can control this.-
ANSWER:
Why not use cloth training pants (thick or padded underwear)? Training pants can catch small leaks but not real accidents. Do they have the Gerber brand cloth training pants in the UK? The www.amazon.co.uk only seems to sell the Kooshies brand but they look very big and I don't think they're made of cloth. I heard of a brand called Imse Vimse that is more commonly used in the UK. ETA: I got the UK websitewww.imsevimse.co.uk.com
On the lefthand column, you can click training pants.
Imse Vimse are kind of expensive. The Gerber brand are way cheaper and you can order them through ebay. They also run true to size and many sellers are willing to ship world wide. From what I am seeing on the internet, ebay express seems to have a ton of people selling the Gerber brand. Another UK website is www.kiddicare.com and they sell cloth training pants called "Bright Bots". Just click on potty training for a category. The Bright Bots seem more reasonably priced too.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

QUESTION:
Is there a store that sells black toddler pants? Like for special occasions?
I need black pants for my 1 and 2 yr old boys to wear to weddings this winter... all I can find is navy... yuck.-
ANSWER:
Maybe at stores that sell higher-end children's clothes - custom boutiques. The mass market gravitates towards the lowest common denominator, especially for toddlers.
