BREASTFEEDING IS NOT AN OPTION FOR YOU... NOW WHAT?

Breastfeeding is a first choice for our babies but sometimes there are life circumstances that result in this not being an option. I think it is important that we realize this and understand the emotions of a mother or father that have been placed in this position. Dr. Pidutti has written an excellent article helping familes with their choices, what kind of formula is best and what the different options may mean for your baby.

VITAMIN D AND INCREASED IMMUNITY

I was recently informed that a friend was giving her daughter Vitamin D to help in her immunity. Seems like a smart idea, especially living out here in our cold, dark climate with next to no sun. So I did a bit of research and this is what I found out...  "Vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent hypocalcemic tetany.

GOOD NEWS - Another reason to take your PROBIOTICS

Happy NEW YEAR! Hope you had a wonderful break with your family.

We have a new article from Dr. Nari Pidutti in the NOW YOU KNOW section of Baby Purity. The new research is on probiotics showing that you can help prevent eczema in your children. I find this very exciting as I know how helpful it has been in my children and now new research backs up the usefulness of a probiotic. The strain recommended is Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

FOOD, DRUGS and OUR HEALTH

I am always trying to ensure when I read new research on any health topic that I remain balanced. My eyes have been opened by the experience with my daughter, yet I try to understand mainstream medicine and want to trust that they have our best interest in mind.

ALLERGIES... Why does this topic continue to come up?

It seems the concern Baby Purity is contacted the most about is allergies. Many have of the parents are concerned about their children's eczema. I wonder if anyone is studying this issue, are doctors and the government concerned that we are seeing such a rise in childhood allergies?

SUGAR OVERFLOW

Halloween is here... a time for costumes and candy. Perhaps you have thought of some creative ways to keep your child away from all the many sugar treats but if your finding that a little difficult, keep in mind that this is usually a time of sugar overload. With sugar overload often comes a suppressed immunity.  As white sugar can impair white blood cells please read more at: http://www.babypurity.com/now/2006/12/flu-season.html Let us know what you have done to watch the amount of treats your child has, info@babypurity.com

BANNED BISPHENOL-A

Great news to see Canada making a stand on Bisphenol-A. How refreshing to see Canada being the first... and hopefully now to influence the US. You sometimes hear people in other countries saying that Canada doesn't have an influence on environmental policy... I would think this will raise some concerns in those countries and possibly create a move to change. Hmm.. maybe we can make a difference?Read the Globe and Mail article in NEWS TIPS http://babypurity.com/news.htm
