I don't suggest you asking this on yahoo answers. Maybe you should consider asking one of your colleagues.

its never too early for baby cracks ..they aren't as connected yet like adults . They are limber. So it really doesn't do much for the bones but it helps the autoimmune system by waking up the pressure points.
3 :
My son had reflux really bad as an infant. I took him to the chiropractor for it when he was less than 1 month old. I had high hopes...but it didn't do him as good as the testimonials I had heard from others...but it certainly didn't do him harm.

lol, I already do! The other day I picked the boy up and he tried to swing himself back (to hang upside down) and I hear "crack, crack, crack". It was horrible, but then I thought "wow, that must've felt good".

CRANBERRY JUICE
2 :
I agree with cranberry juice, but it can be kind of tart for a small child. You might try cran/apple or one of the other combinations. Also more water. Keep those kidneys and bladder flushed out.
3 :
I agree with the above. Another thing you might try is teaching her to wipe front to back instead of back to front to avoid contamination with E. coli from the anal area. It's the #1 cause of urinary tract infections regardless of age.
4 :
I've read that cranberry juice has a property that prevents bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract as the urine passes by. I flat did not like it, but found it was not quite as bad if I poured it over ice and just sipped it. Diluting it just made it last longer. I did find that the combination with raspberry was just as effective, and much more pleasant to take. I never had to take castor oil, but heard it was bad, so I told myself to drink it, it's medicine, like having a shot, and just gag it down! I've finally learned to not mind drinking Cran-Raspberry, but only Ocean Spray brand. I've had more than a few kidney infections, but no longer go to a doctor, just drink another jug of juice. Saves a lot of time and money.

I'm not clear if you are talking about physical or mental development. Pretty much anything can affect the development. Common cases of jaundice can cause brain damage. Asthma is pretty common and I don't think their are any developmental issues but the steroids are bronchidilators that are used to treat asthma can cause delay in development. Diabetes is really complicated so in short, yes. Insulin is a growth hormone and diabetes is a condition of lack of insulin. Childhood parasitic infections can attack the brain, although rare.

Anybody take their child to a holistic health practitioner


 

Anybody take their child to a holistic health practitioner?
My friend takes her baby and kids (the whole family) to see a holistic health practitioner instead of a modern doctor.She has great things to say about the doctor (she's nice, fixes issues that her regular pediatrician couldn't, takes time to talk about the issues, prevention etc.) Does anybody else do this? how did things go?

Yep. We've used a wide variety of different health care practitioners over the years as well as "regular old docs". I've had different experiences with each practitioner most of them have been good. I've used midwives, acupuncturists, Dr of Oriental Medicine (DOM), Chiropractors, and many more....and many were combinations of these. I think it's really whom you feel most comfortable with and whom treats your family with a style that works for all of you.

Can my wife and I each have an FSA and HSA with a child and two separate health insurance policies

Can my wife and I each have an FSA and HSA with a child and two separate health insurance policies?
I am married and my wife and I have health insurance separately through our respective employers. My plan is a copay plan with an FSA. Hers is a high deductible plan with an HSA. We have a baby due on January 10th and will put the baby on her insurance policy. Can we keep both her HSA and my FSA, or do we need to get rid of one, and if so, when? Can we finish out the year, or does it stop immediately?

As long as she is only depositing the amount for an individual now then you're fine. Once the baby is born she can deposit the entire family amount into the HSA. What she has doesn't affect you and vice versa. However, she CAN use her HSA funds for your medical care. Once the baby is born you're better off fully funding the HSA rather than the FSA unless you're doing more than the ~$6000.

There can be arguments made for and against for every item you post.
2 :
Any child during their growing years needs calcium,iron,potasium,B complex. Organic is good but expensive for a child(picky eaters).So given the choices you put forth I would say at least until 13 D would be the answer.At 13 they can tell you what they do and don't like.
