Breastfeeding and Food Allergies
Within a few weeks of my daughter’s birth, we knew there was something gravely wrong. Beyond an actual birth defect (laryngeal trachea malacia), she was also showing significant feeding issues and weight loss. Our lactation consultant and pediatrician immediately suggested that I go on a complete elimination diet. For about 3 weeks, my diet consisted… [Read More]
My Baby Looks Like a Leper
Disclaimer: I am a BabyKicks Ambassador and receive their wonderful products in exchange for promoting their fantastic company.

Enjoy Life Foods Deserves a BIG Thanks!
I can’t believe that it has been almost 2 months since the fire at my daughter’s babysitter’s house. The first month was a little difficult but she is definitely doing better.

Product Praise: Enjoy Life Foods No Nuts! Trail Mix
Lu is addicted to nuts, the funny thing is that she calls them “donuts” and she literally carries a canister around the house, to the car, anywhere she goes. I am so very thankful that she doesn’t have a nut allergy (in addition to her other allergies) but I completely understand the fears that parents… [Read More]
