The first loose tooth marks a major step in a young child’s life. Like many milestones, the age for the first lost tooth varies from child to child. Most kids fall within a general range for their first lost tooth, but many healthy children fall outside that normal range without any underlying problems.

Soft, baby-smooth skin often comes to mind when you think of toddlers, but even young kids get occasional dry skin. Toddlers face a higher risk for dry skin during colder months, but extremely dry skin can strike at any time of year. Skin dryness leaves toddlers feeling itchy. Control your toddler’s dry skin and prevent future bouts to keep him more comfortable.

Earaches often affect toddlers for a variety of reasons. Pinpointing the exact cause of the pain becomes more challenging if your toddler isn’t able to express himself verbally. Some toddlers lack the ability to express where the pain is located at all. Learning to spot the signs of toddler ear pain and what to do about it gets your child back on the road to recovery.
