| Url: | http://fortodaysmom.blogspot.com/ |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | Parenting, Children, Safety |
| Description: | We wanted to create a blog for mothers to share and find information on current parenting topics. There is so much information available that it makes it hard to find multiple perspectives in one place (none the less understand it). Sometimes you just want to be able to read ALL the information, not just one biased opinion. This is not the place to criticize, critique or defend what you believe. We want this to be an objective environment to share web sites, links, personal stories, and other information. Please feel free to follow and leave a comment! |

Sugar
We are heading into yet another flu season and this one's a little different because of all the media coverage of the H1N1 flu virus. Whether you believe the threat to be real or over dramatized by the media, its nice to know certain preventative measures to keep you and your little one healthy. Most people are aware that washing their hands and not touching their eyes, nose and ears will help stave off the flu, but you may not know about sugar (refined) and its effect on the immune system. Eating or drinking 100 grams (8 tbsp.) of sugar, the equivalent of about two cans of soda, can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by forty percent. The immu

Infants and Water. Is it dangerous?
This is another topic that came up in conversation with one of my favorite mommies. When you google infants and water you might want to have a nervous breakdown if you have ever given your child water, but as you read into it further you will find a different message. According to BabyCenter.com, your infant will get all the hydration she needs from breast milk or formula. Giving water to a young baby can interfere with her body's ability to absorb the nutrients in breast milk or formula and, because it can make her feel full, it may prevent her from feeding as much as she should.Giving water to an infant can also cause water intoxication, a serious c

Thimerosal in Vaccines
As we head into flu season I found this an appropriate topic for our first post. Recently, I have been asked if I am going to give my son (almost 6 months) the annual flu shot and/or the Swine flu shot. Along with these inquiries came warnings and caution about something called Thimerosal. I decided to do some research. According to the FDA website, thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound. It has been used since the 1930's as a preservative in many vaccines (preservatives are defined as compounds that kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms, particularly bacteria and fungi). So what? According to the Natural News website, Thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury
