My 10 month old rabbit doesn't like being stroked or handled? How do I let him get used it?
How is your rabbit reacting? It is still very scared? Or is it playing with you instead of being cuddly? I would go to this site: Rabbit Body LanguageI read and studied this to know how to read my rabbit, and to understand what he/she was ‘thinking’. Also, it gives you ideas of how to effectively communicate with your rabbit.Note that relationships with rabbits are not at all like cats or dogs. You must earn the trust of your rabbit. It can be a slow process. Rabbits do not eagerly give their trust to you. Which is why when it is granted, it is the most rewarding thing in the world.
Why doesn’t my wife want me to teach my 10 month old son a language that my wife can't speak?
My mother speaks native French and fluent English. My dad only speaks English, doesn’t understands a LICK of French.I’m in no way way bilingual, but that is not my parents fault, just my geographical area.My mother tried with all her might to teach me both. Both her and my dad wanted me to know both, so I could understand languages better. My dad did feel a little left out, but he knew that I was learning an important skill that would help me later on, and that he was the one in charge of my English.BUT:I said FLUENT French and English. Please do not teach your son “a little German”. Be sure you are teaching him the CORRECT rules. The CORRECT rules. CORRECT verbs, nouns, tenses, etc. Maybe your wife feels like she will be put out, or maybe she wants to make sure that your son will not be confused when older on what is what. Or if he does learn German, he will learn un-fluent German, “wrong” German.Thought, what i’m thinking, is why not talk to your wife. Ask her why exactly she doesn’t want you to talk to your son in German. If she feels put out, learn German together. Or a whole other language! It brings you together, and your son will see his parents be together and help each other in a shared goal. Until you are fluent however, then refrain on teaching your son a language.
Why doesn’t my 5-year-old stepson want me to teach my 10-month-old son a language that my stepson can’t speak?
Original question details:My stepson speaks only spanish. I speak spanish and a little german. When i speak german to my son my stepson does not admit it and wants me to stop speaking german to my son and he wants me only to speak spanish.He probably feels left out—that there will be a secret language between you and your son that he is not a part of. Even adults can feel excluded if someone is speaking a language that they cannot understand.Also, five year olds often do the opposite of what you expect or want them to do for no apparent reason at all. Until they get a little older and learn to be more mature, they often don’t want to fit in with other people’s plans or desires.If it’s bothering your stepson, don’t do it when he is around. The stepparent/stepchild relationship can often be difficult anyway—don’t do anything that may aggravate it. German is not your main language, so there’s no reason to make a point of it.It’s likely that, at only five years old, your stepson is feeling quite insecure. No matter how long you and your wife have been together, it was only recently that a little brother has been added to the family. That can be confronting, especially in step-family situations where the older child might be questioning where he fits.Some of your other questions indicate that your stepson no longer sees his biological father regularly and that he doesn’t get along with you. Not seeing his own father is a very big deal to a child. Your stepson is probably insecure, not knowing who loves him and who merely tolerates him—at best.Try to imagine your own son in a situation where he is without his father and surrounded by people who seem to be always angry or disappointed with him. Wouldn’t your heart hurt for your own son in that situation? Be gentle with your stepson. The more patience you show, the more quickly the situation will improve.
My nine month-old baby won't eat his food, what should I do?
My nine- month-old baby won't eat his food, what should I do? He has been breastfed since birth. Some supplements like baby cereal, fruit and pumpkin have been added to his meal since his seventh month. Now he seems to have lost his interest in these foods, he eats very little of them. …DO NOT PANIC. Your baby WILL NOT STARVE HIMSELF.Consult your doctor or the well-baby clinic, asking how to encourage your baby to accept the supplemental foods that it is normal for him to accept.You should understand that your baby LIKES to be breastfed and prefers the mothers’ milk. He does not want to change his diet, and this is a normal behavior.Ask the medical professional if it would be helpful to nurse the baby less than baby would like, so that his hunger will encourage him to take other foods.Also, you might ask if the introduction of supplemental foods was too rapid or too early, and if so, whether it would be helpful to start over and do this more slowly.
Spanking a 10 month old?
Not for every little thing, and not harshly, but ten months old is not too young to start spanking. To all of you stupid people answering that a ten month old doesn't know right from wrong: That is the whole point - you have to use spanking and/or other punishments starting at a very early age to TEACH a child right from wrong.
Can my 10 month old dog still get vaccinated?
We have a 10 month old chihuahua and he's never been vaccinated, yet he seems healthy and doesn't get sick. Though every now and then he vomits but other than that, he doesn't show other symptoms. What would happen if we vaccinated at this age and it's his first time?
My 10 month old won't stop crying!!!?
Teething & other issues seem to go hand in hand. Like others hae mentioned, ears are a big one. I would have it checked. If nothing else (as they often do little to nothing these days, since they have found antibiotics aren't generally terribly helpful with ear infection) at least you KNOW why. Milestones (like teeth & standing) can also cause temporary change sin sleep patterns. I do NOT think it is "spoiled behavior". holding a baby & reassuring them isn't spoiling them, it is doing your job as parents, since it is YOUR job to make him feel safe & secure. The reason ear are a likely culprit is that laying down can increase ear pressure & make it worse. Worse yet, if he takes a binky to sleep, sucking makes it even worse, so it may make falling asleep & staying asleep really hard for him. Only sleeping 4 hrs is unusual & is NOT anything you can attribute to just wanting to be held, normal teething, milestones, etc. There has to be another reason. Waking twice in a night is not a big deal. For some babies this age that is the standard and even if it's not standard for a particular baby, that can happen at any time, even just a non specific sleep regression can have them waking several times a night for a few weeks. I would definitely get him in ot the Dr if he is not sleeping a normal number of hours at night & it is a sudden change that persists. Also make sure to check for a fever. If there is one present, it confirms the likelihood of an ear infection. Don't get too worried if he has a fever though. Anything below 100.4 is technically not a fever, but 100.5 & over is. here is a good reference regarding fever from a Pediatrics site: http://springspediatrics.com/fever_phobi...
Can I give my 10 month old froot loops?

My 7.5 month old daughter baby doesn't maintain eye contact. Is this a sign of autism?
Hey,At 7.5 months it is really hard to comment . However, infants with ASD do develop differently from other infants, and there are some 'Watch Outs' and eye contact is one of them.Social and Communication Watch-outs 1. Doesn't point to, or hold up objects to show people things, share an experience or show that he/she wants something2. Doesn't use eye contact to get someone's attention 3. Doesn't consistently respond to her name4. Doesn't use gestures on her own5. Doesn't show interest in other children6. Doesn't start games such as peekaboo 7. Doesn't engage in pretend play – for example, he/she doesn't feed her doll8. Doesn't sound like she's having a conversation with you when she babbles9. Doesn't understand simple one-step instructions – for example, `Give me the block'10Copies what he/she hears from others, or from the TV – for example, when you ask if he/she wants more water, he/she echoes back `more water'.Behavior: Must KnowsThe child -1. Has an intense interest in certain objects and becomes 'stuck' on particular toys or objects2. Interacts with toys and objects in one particular way, rather than more broadly or in the way they were intended to be played with – for example, turning the wheels of a toy car or lining up objects3. Is very interested in unusual objects or activities – for example, metal objects, or watching a specific ad on TV4. Is easily upset by change and must follow routines – for example, sleeping, feeding or leaving the house must be done in the same way every time5. Repeats body movements or has unusual body movements, such as back-arching, hand-flapping and walking on his toes6. Is extremely sensitive to sensory experiences – for example, is easily upset by certain sounds, or will eat only foods with a certain texture7. Seeks sensory stimulation – for example, rubs objects on his mouth, or face, or seeks vibrating objects like washing machines, or flutters his fingers to the side of his eyes to watch the light flicker.To end , I would say early intervention in any case , is a proven key. All the best!!
