All opinions are 100% mine.In a day when most of us are trying to save money when we shop, it's sometimes hard to know where to draw the line between saving money and buying food that contains the nutrients necessary to keep us healthy.  So how do we make sure that we are getting the nutrients we need in the foods that we purchase, even if they are generic or store brands?In reading an article discussing the advantages and disadvantages of buying brand name formula vs. store brand formula, it occurs to me  that it is important to read the labels and compare products.  This is true with any food that you are purchasing.  You want to compare  not only the nutritional facts, but the additives that may b...

People with ADHD typically are sensory seeking, even though it may not always look that way, especially if the individual has the inattentive sub-type. For example, many who are impulsive might find themselves having problems in the ...

All opinions are 100% mine.I am such a bargain shopper that I don't have to think twice if a generic product is put in front of me along with a name brand, I always grab the generic and try it. It's rare that I'm disappointed. Sure it doesn't have the fancy packaging, in fact I remember one store, for a while, had an isle of generics and all were in plain white wrappings with black letters...until they decided to mingle them in with the other foods, and finally do away with them.Now store brand items are just as good and often just as much as a bargain...and I'll tell you a secret, there have been many times when I've preferred the store brand over the name brand...who wants to pay more just to have a name on something?

I breast-fed each of them, but also supplemented with a bottle of formula per day so that Daddy could have a turn feeding.Gradually over time, the number of "formula feedings" increased until they were off the breast, making for an easy transition for my babies, and for me. I nursed about 4-6 months each. I can't say enough about the health benefits of nursing your newborn. I did a lot of things to save money in those days, including using cloth diapers and hanging them to dry on the line, and I breast fed because it was free food, a wonderful natural way to take off weight gained while pregnant, and it was a beautiful bonding experience. I still remember looking down at those ...

My husband and I smile and chuckle as we remember the different things we did to naturally avoid getting pregnant, and then to make sure that we conceived naturally...and we didn't have a helpful pregnancy website to help us. We also marvel that it took 3 months exactly to conceive each of our children that were born 2 1/2 years apart.

The health benefits of nursing your baby when it is possible are many, some of them shared in the article below.----------Most parents are aware that breast milk is best for their baby, but may not be aware that the benefits of breastfeeding extend far beyond basic nutrition. In addition to containing all the vitamins and nutrients your baby needs in the first six months of life, breast milk is packed with disease-fighting nutrients that protect your baby from illness. That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the f...

The study was published in The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology on January 21st. Dr. De-Kun Li, the lead author and investigator in the study, found that women who consumed 200 milligrams or more per day significantly increased the probability of miscarriage. 200 milligrams is equivalent to about two cups of coffee. Other known risk factors of the mother were taken into consideration, such as smoking habits and age of the mother. The Keiser Permanente study monitored 1,063 women starting early in their pregnancies. The women self reported their caffeine consumption. Among women who did not consume any caffeine at...

Whether such drugs work in this regard has been a matter of conjecture, with one recent study suggesting a benefit in children aged 2 and under. So, Dutch researchers did a meta-analysis of several previously published studies and found the results don’t support the use of antibiotics for the fluid buildup that can accompany inner ear infections. “Due to the marginal effect and the known negative effects of prescribing antibiotics, such as the development of antibiotic resistance and side effects, we do not recommend prescribing antibiotics to prevent middle ear...

Sleep-deprived kids also have more than a 3 percent increase in body fat on average compared to youngsters who sleep for more than nine hours nightly. The researchers also reported that children’s sleep patterns vary by season and day. Children sleep fewer hours in the summer and on weekends, according to the study. Researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand studied the sleep patterns of 591 seven-year-old children using actigraphy — a movement-based, noninvasive method used to study sleep-wake patterns and circadian rhythms.

Previous research found that the substances altered the childrens hormones. From Los Angeles Times Infants and toddlers exposed to baby lotions, shampoos and powders carry high concentrations of hormone-altering chemicals in their bodies that might have reproductive effects, according to a new scientific study of babies born in Los Angeles and two other U.S. cities. The research, to be published today in the medical journal Pediatrics, found that as the use of baby care products rose, so did the concentration of phthalates, which are used in many fragrances.

The warning, dubbed the Faroes Statement, came from 200 chemists, biologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists and pediatricians at a conference in the Faroe Islands, between Norway and Iceland. It was funded in part by the World Health Organization, the National Institutes of Health and the European Environment Agency. While numerous recent research conferences have focused on the topic, this is the first time a group of respected scientists have publicly called for a full-court press to research the extent of the problem and to focus on preventi...
