Nutritional challenge I face... My biggest frustration is when I have a mom with baby that is intolerant of foods in mom's diet and I'm working with mom to help baby feel better and to detect all the problem foods. I'll have mom on say a meat, a couple veggies as well as greens & yams, a couple fruits and a whole grain, and a baby finally doing well, gaining weight, recovering from colic/reflux/diarrhea, whatever. THEN some doctor or in-law tells the mom that she needs more "nutrition" and especially that she can't possibly be healthy without consuming foreign animal milk. I don't know what else specifically they'd want to see in her diet --- they just say "more foods," ususally, but this is the point where I see moms lose their resolve and babies going onto formula. linda www.BabyReference.com *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
