I'm expecting a baby in a few months and have questions about medicating infants and toddlers.

What's the cause for alarm? [more inside]

Pat-a-cake; The Itsy Bitsy Spider ... and ....? Can you suggest some traditional rhymes/games with motions like the two above that I can play with my 16 month old son. Preferably things that can be done lying down (so Head Shoulder Knees and Toes won't work well).
