When I was in college and close to a Walmart I would buy movies there. It costs about the same as renting, but you get to keep it! Weight Loss for Breastfeeding Moms: An Introduction10 Feb 2007 10:09 PM I hate huge boobs! They get in the way too much and they make everyone all googly eyed. I have cleavage in a turtleneck! I have such a hard time working out to loose the weight. I went to yoga a couple of time. I pumped before I left, but by the time I got ready to go, got to class, and finished the class I couldn't even do the meditation because my chest was going to explode! That's what I hate about trying to workout while lactating! LOL! The Dairy Debate09 Feb 2007 07:04 PM I'm dairy free and loving it! I've also read a lot of interesting claims about the dairy industry's connection to the FDA. It made me distrustful of the FDA's stance on the benefits of dairy. I'm always sucked into these conspiracy theories! LOL Oh, Julie---I eat Soy Delicious Ice Cream. Tofutti also has desserts that aren't dairy-based. Free Baby Formula09 Feb 2007 12:39 PM Thanks for the ideas. I EP, but I get so many of those checks and samples in the mail. I give them to friends who use them. I never signed up for anything and I BF so I wondered why I receive free formula and the ones who actually use it don't. Now, I can pass this info along to them! How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? - Jane Yolen08 Feb 2007 07:08 PM I absolutely love this book! I work as a preschool teacher and I would read this book to the kids around this time of year. Around 2-5 years old, the kids love dinosaurs, and I think that this book uses that interest in dinosaurs to teach kids about getting over a bug. It's so fun to read and the illustrations are great also! Should Medical Exemptions Be Justified By Religious Beliefs?03 Feb 2007 03:28 PM That's why I think it should be within the confines of the hospital. Like in this case, the parents were compromising and I think that the hospital should have been able to compromise on the issue too. I think when it comes to a public health risk, they have to do what they have to do...but when it comes to harm of the child it gets fuzzy. Risk to the child is relative. It was risky to the hospital to let the child go, but the parents see a real risk in having the screening done too early. At that point, it's hard to decide who is right, but I think that all sides should work their best to come to a decision that everyone is comfortable with...I think that that would be in the best interest of the child and the public. Should Medical Exemptions Be Justified By Religious Beliefs?03 Feb 2007 02:37 PM I think its wrong to force people do things that are against their religion. I am not at all religious, but I respect that people have certain rules governing their life in order for them to live the life or to acheive the afterlife they believe in. The couple was already compromising their position by agreeing to a different time schedule instead of not doing it at all. It not necessary that we respect every religion (even though that would be nice), but it is necessary that we allow people to practice whatever religion governs their beliefs. I think that hospitals should work closely with families in order to give them the most options within the confines of the hospital system. What You Need to Know about Soy Formula24 Jan 2007 07:29 PM I set myself a goal of 6 months of pumping. I really want Scarlet to have nothing but breastmilk for at least the first 6 months. The closer we get to that goal, the easier it is getting since I have settled into a pumping routine. I told myself that at 6 months I can either decide to continue pumping to a new goal or to quit pumping guilt free. (I have really been trying to get a handle of my guilt! LOL!) I am producing about twice as much as she's eating right now, so I have an enormous freezer stash (165 bags with between 4-8 oz each) The freezer stash is growing everyday. I want to make sure she gets fresh for at least 6 months since it is better for her than frozen, but then can move on to the frozen stash since it is better for her than formula. I'm hoping this makes sense! LOL! What You Need to Know about Soy Formula24 Jan 2007 05:22 PM I enjoyed your article. We are pumping to 6-7 months and then using frozen milk to take us to 9-12 months, but I've started looking into formula just in case. I follow a vegan diet, but my bf will eat ANYTHING. I'm a little concerned about the hormones in soy, but not as much as I'm concerned about the hormones in cow's milk. We are pretty sure that we will use a soy formula, but have also considered organic cow's milk based. Breastmilk is best for vegan babies though. There is no true vegan formula in the US, and only one in the UK. I'm pretty sure it's because the Vitamin D that must be added to formula comes from an animal derivitive. 1 2 |
