actually, i've seen studies that indicate that babies normally get thier introduction to local cuisine flavors through breastmilk. IOW, a toddler from India is already 'used to' the flavors of curries, etc because hir breastmilk already contained those flavors, while a toddler from Iowa may very well reject Indian food because they aren't used to the flavor. i used this to explain why my 10 month old was sloshing green Tobasco on everything...

After 3 months, it didn't bother him any more. I figured something about his system needed to mature. I don't think that women in India, China or wherever simply stop eating their national dishes because they are worried that onions or whatever will harm their nursing babies. Regards, Ranee Hello Ranee, You are lucky that you did not have any problems with stomach upsets, and throwing up babies, and above all crying and screaming babies, because they suffered from colick. By the way so was I, I had never any problems while our children were babies. However that does not mean that all babies born have no colick problems. When you have a baby that cries for hours on end after feeding, it is wise to look at what can be done about this problem, for everyone sanity. Colick is a widespread problem and most of the time goes away when the baby gets a bit older. Indeed very new babies have a very short digestive system and thus not a lot of time to digest some food stuffs....indeed even in breast milk Even so, mother and baby need their rest. When Michelle just arrived here 4 weeks ago, little Aysia, then two months old, would cry bitterly for long times after each breast feeding. We would walk with her sing to her, burb her etc, not much helped. When Michelle went to the baby clinick run by the Public Health system here on the Island, she was told to first start with not consuming milk that was not cooked (even though our milk is pasturized) Other sources of problems with breast milk are indeed onions and the whole onion family...leeks, garlack, etc . I would not call these old maid tales. For sure when my family eats onions the reactions to this vegetable by each of my family member are very different.....LOL. Maybe you do not have any digestive reactions to different foods, Lucky you. Garlic for one, as much as I love it, gives me terrible headaches. So it is not strange at all that all what the mother eats is absorbed in the breast milk, this by the way, also includes alcohol, and medicines. Babies will react to what the mother eats, this is realistic knowlege taught to new mother by their healthcare givers. Thus it is important that the mother eats well and also drinks lots of liqueds Els -- I have added a trap for spammers......niet..... |

My mom got the recipe from her relatives and most of them did not have a doctor around that they could get to for every little thing. I know at least 5 generations of my family have used it on their children and none have problems. Chris Chris, great that it worked for the babies in your family, but that does not mean it will work for all babies. Each child is different. Els "Els van Dam" wrote in message ...

Add sugar, stir well, strain, cool and serve in the little ones bottle. Since I take it you're breastfeeding, I assume you could adjust the sugar to taste(that's all it's there for), and enjoy!

LOL! Yes, this is true...a doc (not DD's usual pedi) told me that it might
be a soy allergy. I looked at her dumbfounded..."She's CHINESE," I said, "If she's allergic to soy, she'll starve!" Just had to interject that story. hehehehe (DD has no allergies, fortunately) Allaya "Ranee Mueller" wrote in message ...

However, I was told by my dr to drink Guinness, as he said it would make my mild more nourishing for the baby. ALec is now 6'2", so I guess it worked. g Katherine |
