She finally dropped that and moved on to she heard on the news that re-using old water bottles can cause cancer and I shouldn't do that and so on because my grandfather dies from spider cancer, she has had both skin cancer and kidney cancer, my great uncle on my dads side died from prostate cancer and a few others. So I decided to flip that back on her. I told her that the new research out is just a scare tactic and I've been doing that for years and I'm "just fine" (not really but I was trying to make a point to her. She started to freak out. So I said to her that was how she just treated me. She finally saw where I was coming from. I told her that is why I'm doing what I do for my kids because cancer runs in my family and I want to help my kids either hold it off longer or prevent it all together.
I think she finally saw the light. She asked me to email her links to all that I told her and she would pass it on.

Glad she saw the light and asked for links. Yay for progress!! :-)



We hear that a lot. Sadly, docs are horrible advisors on feeding. Four months is an age where they act like they're always starving. If they ACT that way, it's just an act; real starvation involves baby shutting down and being quiet and sleeping a lot to conserve energy. In other words, worry about the alleged "good" babies who don't give their moms trouble. **smile**
We've also seen solids actually delay gain.
Quoting Lyssa03: Wow. I can't believe that... I gave my daughter minimal food at 4 months but only because she was acting like she was starving and stopped gaining weight and it was recommended.
