Well, I did it!  A little over two months ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.  As part of my celebration as a new mom, I decided to focus on children’s health as the subject for our next webinar, taking place on March 20^th.  As I prepare for this webinar, I’m finding all kinds of interesting information to share with all you parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and any others who care for kids out there.  Here is a little sampler to whet your appetite!

• Giving your child a dose of vitamin C, vitamin B12, and cod liver oil before a vaccination can drastically reduce the chances of side effects from the vaccine.
• Egg yolks are one of the best foods to introduce as baby’s first solid food.
• Incorporating fruit and cereal into your baby’s diet too early could make it more likely that your child with have a “sweet tooth”.
• Many nutritional experts feel that pregnant and nursing women should eat 2-4 tablespoons daily of high quality butter from grassfed cows to ensure that their baby is getting enough of the right fat for healthy brain development.
• Children raised on farms tend to have healthier immune systems than children raised in sterile environments because occasional exposure to dirt and bacteria helps the immune system develop properly.
• Occasional mild childhood illness may actually prevent cancer later in life.

I’ll discuss these points and more in our webinar, as well as answer any questions you may have.  To register, click here: Children’s Health Webinar.
