Re: OT : need a tip from the experts

[Guest guest]

We took our daughter off the pacifier " cold turkey " at 2 yrs, 9 months,

before we knew she had PDD. It was a miserable 5 days. Mercifully, our

younger daughter sucks her thumb so no pacifiers around to tempt .

Could you substitute something else for him to chew on...a teething toy or

something? Not sure what else to recommend. BTW has been having ABA

for 2 months now and is doing much better with speech and sensory issues

too. We still have a long way to go but are already pleased with her

progress. Also, her tutor thinks she is doing so well because of the diet

(gfcf)! How about that! )

Hang in there Cristina! He will improve and you will be amazed!

OK guys! watches a Sesame street tape(with my other two little

ones) at bedtime-which is indeed called " edtime songs and stories " -

..It would put me to sleep too, BTW. That is his routine. For the

twins I use lullaby tape with background of heartbeat- didn't

like that-

But what kind of tapes of Mozart? Any kind? Just go in the store and

Buy one?Better video or just cd or tape? and when would I let him

listen to it? Any time of day or you use for bedtime only?

Enough questions I think. Cristina-WA

Hey Cristina,

Toys- r-us (hope you have them there) carries the videos -Mozart,

Beethoven, Bach. They are called " Baby Mozart " " Baby Bach " , etc. Also

CVS pharmacies.

LJ however only listens to the cassettes. Every night he will say " I

want Mozart, please " . They can watch and/or listen to the music and/or

video anytime of the day.
