She is clearly showing signs of being more than ready to start with solids. Just remember that breastmilk is the main source of food for the first year. Go to www.kellymom.com for some great info on how much, when, how to start, etc. I started both of my kids on solids around 5 months actually. It was a VERY small amount to begin with. A taste here and there. They were both showing signs that they were ready - sitting up, grabbing at my plate/fork, etc. Every baby...

Yeah...it definitely did not sink in. It's like he didn't even hear me when I said we were religiously opposed. I just want to know exactly what it is that these doctors get from the drug reps. I'm sure trips are part of it, but what other kickbacks do they get that makes them feel so strongly about pushing these vaxes? Or do they truly feel like they are doing the right thing by making sure each and every child gets every vaccine?
My dd had her one year check-up yesterday. I was going to cancel it because we aren't doing anymore vaccines, but thought it wouldn't hurt to get her height, weight and head circumference charted at one year. The pediatrician that we see at the practice has always been pretty good about our selective/delayed schedule, but this would be the first time that I would tell him that we have decided that we are no longer vaxing due to further research and coming to the...
That was funny, bad sad and true at the same time. One of my friend's daughters got talked into getting the vaccine. She is married. Her doctor talked her into the vaccine by asking her "What would happen if something happens to your husband? Your next partner may be infected and pass it onto you." Ugh.
Good for her!!! What dedication! It's great to hear stories like that. Thanks for sharing!
DD just turned one year old and is still nursing like a champ. I do not want to do anything that will disrupt my supply or affect her in a negative way. But, I need to do something about my anxiety/irritability. I'm not sure of everything that is out there, but have read that Zoloft is the one that is most recommended while nursing. I don't FEEL depressed - I feel irritated. All.the.time. It stems from really hating the state/area/town that we live in and DH loving...
Here is a post that was sent to me when I had a question about my DS's cough. It lists the amount of SA by weight. http://www.mothering.com/discussions...03&postcount=2 There are 2.2 lbs in a kg, so a baby weighing 20 lbs would be 9 kg, for example. I hope someone can help you with how much to give yourself also, as the baby will get some through the breastmilk as well.
I'm assuming they are talking about Prevnar. I might be wrong though. I don't have any info right now as I am just popping in today, but I will try to post more later.
Just an FYI - it's DTaP, not DPaT. The "a" is for acellular and is in reference to the pertussis portion of the vax. I may be wrong, but I've never seen it flip-flopped like that, no?
