Babies and toddlers are plump by nature — those big, round cheeks and dimpled knees are the absolute sweetest! And experts say parents don’t need to worry about the weight of children younger than age 2. But as your child grows older, you may start to have more questions.| What to Expect
Your toddler's tucked in bed, and you're settling in on the couch for a night of Netflix. Then, from out of nowhere, your child's peaceful sleep suddenly turns into loud, raucous coughs.
