My take on the best timing to start solid foods is different than what I’ve seen elsewhere. It depends on what kids are taking before that first bite of solids.   Breast-fed babies are [...] (Source: Conversations with Dr Greene) Conversations with Dr Greene blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3023305 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:01:55 +0100 3023305 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2414759&cid=t_236817_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blisstree.com%2Fbreastfeeding123%2Fsleep-milestone%2F The last several nights have been doozies thanks to a combination of teething, growth spurt, and a cold. My 9-month-old has woken multiple times in the night, and sometimes required settling twice before I have even gotten back to sleep once! So, I thought it would help me keep my sanity perspective to take a moment to celebrate one teeny tiny sleep milestone. Photo by Abdulaziz AlmansourYou see, my firstborn did not fall asleep without nursing until she was over two years old. My second mastered that glorious skill a little sooner. My third, ever-proving that each child is different, often refused to fall asleep by nursing at all, and would instead require me to pace the floor, holding her just so, facing outward, never in. But last night, even as I knew I was facing an endless night of ...

Those charts have their place for monitoring that a baby continues to grow on essentially the same curve. However, such charts might mislead parents into thinking that a baby who is at the top end of the weight growth chart might be heavy as an older child. In fact, breastfed babies are less likely to be overweight as children than their formula-fed counterparts. So the next time a doubter tries to claim “You’re feeding that baby too much!” (yes, someone said that to me), direct him or her to these photos. First, there’s the “aww how cute” factor of this g...

I have yet to capture a good picture of her wonderful smile, so this photo will have to do. She cracks me up! Yesterday I took her to our family practitioner for her two month well baby visit. She’s doing great, nursing well, and meeting all of her developmental milestones (in spite of my inability to capture them on film!) She weighed 12 pounds 9 ounces, and measured 23 inches in length and 15.5 inches in head circumference. When the doctor told me that that put Nicole in the 25th, 10th and 10th percentiles on the CDC growth charts, I was a little surprised! My second daughter was petite like that, but does this look like a child who is on the low end of the charts? Ignore my belly! Look! Cute buddha baby! Cute Imse Vimse organic cotton...

Hospitals in many parts of the U.S. are actually discouraging breastfeeding by providing formula before discharge from the hospital facility. Health experts strongly encourage women to breast-feed their babies rather than give them bottles of formula, saying breast milk provides a range of health benefits to the infant.CDC epidemiologist Dr. Deborah Dee, who led the study, said she was surprised so many facilities do things that may undermine breast-feeding.F...
