It has been great reading theses forums to know that I am not the only one (or the youngest!!) I just found out yesterday that my 29 month old has some pretty lovely decay on his front four teeth. I am 6 months pregnant with our second child and I am sure you can imagine how emotional it was for my. My poor baby, what have I done to him!! We go along thinking that we are doing all the right things and then something like this happens...... Thankfully we spent our first night without nursing and it really went well, he is old enough that I could explain to him why we needed to be careful and that we can continue to nurse before and after nap times.
I have loved reading all the different ways to treat the decay, and I am excited to try. My mother is a dental hygienist..... so her and her dentist of coarse attacked the night-time nursing (which I am not convinced that isn't the cause), and said start giving him fluoridated water. I am not going to give him internal fluoride as I don't like the negative research I have done, but I am thinking about trying the MI Paste. I like the cod liver oil, cell salts, I had someone recommend Evora probiotic supplements for the mouth, aloe vera, and of coarse the change of diet. Dried fruit seems to be the kicker, as well as juices and fruits. He loves his fruit, pastas, breads, it will be hard to make the change, but I am excited for the opportunity to expand his diet.
I heard a lot about raw milk. Is any raw milk okay? Should I stay away from nut milks? I know someone had said no grains, what if they are soaks appropriately (quinoa??) I also am guessing that most raw recipes would be fine since the nuts and seeds are typically soaked overnight?
