Anyone have some advice for 2 year-olds who bite?
He's bitten his brother a few times before, but we were at a friends house and he full on bit a little boys face (2.5 year old), causing bleeding. I wasn't right there so I don't know exactly what happened.
I made him watch the little boy he bit get cleaned up and talk about how bad it was, made him say sorry and give him a hug, but I am at a loss for how to stop this behavior (this by far was the worst).
So--what do you do when your 2 year old bites? (besides just tell them no---I need something to STOP the behavior)

Complexion troubles
Does anyone have any recommendations for facial cleansers? I had hoped I'd be out of my adolescent complexion by now, but I can't rid myself of it.
I'd love suggestions. . .

New Baby Advice
So I'm not a rooky to having a new baby- I'm due in a week with our third girl. But I AM worried about how her two sisters will react. They are four and two years old and are very excited about having another sister, but I know the novelty will wear off when the baby has been home, and I'm nursing her 24-7, and there's no room on my lap, etc.!
Are there any moms that can give me some good ideas about: sibling jealousy issues, nursing a baby successfully with other little ones around, keeping siblings busy and happy while tending to a new baby, bedtime routines for siblings with a new baby around, etc. etc. etc. Any ideas you have heard about or tried are definitely welcome. Obviously, I'm a little nervous about how it will work to be outnumbered, 3 to 2, kids to parents! So I would love to hear what ideas there are to make the transition as smooth as possible. Thanks!

How have you taught your kids how to sleep through the night without wetting the bed?

Bispheno-A (BPA)
Ok scientists, has anyone been able to sort out the mess with BPA? I have read all kinds of things on it, but can't really seem to decide if I really have to throw out my precious Nalgene bottle or not. Has anyone talked to their doctors about it? What are you doing with your baby bottles/water bottles?
