Ask your questions now!

We need more parenting questions for the Monday Consult. Please post them below, or we'll all just be stuck with the questions I come up with. Yours are more interesting.

By the way, I'm hearing reports that readers are having problems commenting. If you're getting a message that you've posted too many comments -- and you're a real person with a real comment, not a spammer -- please ignore that and keep trying. It's not you; it's us, and a glitch in our system.

What is the appopriate age range for moving a toddler from a crib to a toddler bed? And, if a toddler is potty trained before you make the switch and still in a crib, how do you deal with trips to the potty at night?

Actually, this question was the subject of one of our previous Consults. See the answer here: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/features/baltimoremomblog/2008/09/the_monday_consult_moving_to_t.html

I know last Monday was a baby question, so it is OK if you don't use this one (or maybe save it for later), but I was hoping for some advice on teething (in 6-12 mo olds)? I done some internet searching so have some ideas, but thought it would be nice to have something a bit more official on how to provide some comfort to my little one.

Now that toy catalogues are filling our mailbox and (ahem) Sunday Sun, how to deal with the gimme, gimme, gimmes? I don't think I can stand listening to all the things my kids want for the next 5-6 weeks until xmas!!!
