Sleeping With Baby Ad Goes a Bit to Far

Sleeping with your baby ad goes too, far?

What some researchers fail to mention is that alcohol, drugs and cigarettes are often involved in co-sleeping death statistics.

Turbulent or violent home life and lack of education play a part, as well.

Get the facts, consult your pediatrician and make an informed decision that works best for you.

Can You Make Your Baby Smarter Through Breastfeeding?

Although researchers hesitate to say it there is something to be said about the health benefits of breast milk.

The Spanish study found that higher amounts of breast-feeding among all milk consumed during children’s first 14 months was associated with significantly higher mental scores compared to children who breast-fed less. Researchers recruited women during their first trimester of pregnancy, measured fatty acids in their colostrum after childbirth, and assessed mental development of more than 500 children at about 14 months of age.

Political correctness, and corporate self interest need to take a back seat to women’s and infant’s health and wellness.

Circumcision Debate Goes On

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine neonatal circumcision the debate wages on with little definitive information from either side.

Parents can feel coerced into making a quick decision with little information.

With changes in health care policy it may become a matter of cost for a medically unnecessary procedure which can cost $400; quite a lot of money for many families.

More and more parents are starting to think seriously about whether to circumcise their newborn boys. And many of them are finding that it’s a question without easy answers, not least because guidance from many leading medical organizations has been equivocal. Although rates have declined in recent years, well over half of all boys born in American hospitals undergo the procedure.
