Egg is pretty potent in terms of blocking absorption. I'd keep anything with egg several hours, yes. I limited egg while we worked to get out of the anemia range here. Give vitamin C or vitamin c rich (citrus or pineapple preferably..so...

I wouldn't give a child I was suspecting allergies in formula at three weeks unless I absolutely had to do it. I think the chances of reaction to or sensitizing to the formula is as great. You don't even know for sure it's your milk and...

You can try massage. A cranial sacral or good chiro could show you. I don't know how to explain what we were taught. I will search and see if I can find a description online. This isn't exactly what i was taught but includes much of it...

Yes, there is a wait and see recommendation for antibiotic use for ear infections. I think, though, that's for kids older. I would want to wait and see myself but realize there is risk there. My son was one of the ones who ended up with...

Well, the only thing I know to suggest is keep diet records (juice or heavy fruit consumption is often the culprit in toddler diarrhea isn't it??) and consider a Metametrix comprehensive stool. It will cost (our insurance did reimburse...

I certainly don't think you're doomed. I do know how it feels to live with that sort of fear though (my son had an, as it turned out unncecessary due to incompetent pediatrician) CT scan as an infant. I really hate it. There are articles...
