Wow.. that was cool. More informative than the book I read that just said "babies don't have sinuses till they are 18 months old". You're very smart to question the doctors and look into stuff.
For example, my daughter has a constipation problem (sure you wanted to know this hehehe). She doesn't drink enough. Period. (I beg her to drink more to no avail) But anyways, her pediatrian gave me a prescription for stuff. I was like.. why? I dicovered that you can give mineral oil (perfectly natural - gross though!) and it works. Why pay all that money for what was most likely the same thing, with some added stuff.
I'm not some crunchy freak, but I too read. Our country is the most medicated country in the world. Scary, huh?
I am BY NO MEANS lecturing. Emily's been on antibiotics many many times in her 3 years. She has tubes in her ears now (*sob*) because she gets ear infections all the time. I tried alternatives - garlic oil, works great! But, it stinks! Had I been more diligent about giving her the oil, I bet I could have not gone the tube route. But poor Emily smelling like shrimp scampi all the time... she'd be known as the stinky kid. ;)
Anywhoos...
Did he make that cute face when he tried meat the first time? It's precious! Emily loved the chicken & pears and .. something else & fruit. I can't remember what it is now. She baulked at the beef. I'd have to disguise it with something else. :) Same with potatoes. It's funny, to this day, she really won't eat them. She's a weird kid. (LOVES LOVES LOVES lima beans - I tell her that I really like them, but mommy will share mine with her.) hehehehe
