Flaxseed for Babies!


We all know the benefits of Flax Seed, its an amazing nutrient. Well what about incorporating it in your baby food. I add Milled Flax Seed in my sons oatmeal in the morning. Hodgson Mill is the brand and you can purchase it at your local Trader Joe's. It has 2600 mgs of Omega 3-Oils, its a great source of fiber, is gluten free and has no salt, trans fats or sugar. What's better than that! Its all natural and is milled so fine my baby doesn't even notice it's in his oatmeal. I highly recommend this product if you are interested in incorporating Omega-3 Fatty acids in your childs food. I know there is a concern with Fish Oils containing traces of Mercury, Flaxseed is a great alternative. Try it out you have nothing to loose but a healthier baby!

Buttons!


I never understood why baby clothes had buttons on them. Aren't buttons considered choking hazards. The other day my son had the top button of his shirt in his mouth, trying to rip it off. I nearly freaked and literally ripped the shirt off of him. We all know babys will put anything in there mouth and here they have these colorful looking round things on there clothes, of course there going to chew on them. What are these companies thinking, what was i thinking to put the button filled shirt on him. To say the least all button riddened clothes are off to charity. I think these companies should put a little more thought on what they put on baby clothes. What do you think?
