Healthier.com (HealthDay News) — What’s the difference between lactose intolerance and a milk allergy? The Nemours Foundation offers this primer: * Milk allergy is caused by an allergy to proteins in milk, while lactose intolerance is an inability to break down lactose, a sugar in milk. * Milk allergy most often occurs in infants, while [...]
My son is allergic to milk. Different milk products do different horrendous things to him. Some give him hives, others make him breathe funny, some just give him diarrhea. I guess when a kid sees ice cream, all their common sense goes out the window. Instead of standing up and saying to the guy in [...]

I find it interesting that this comes out after so many years. I mean, most doctors will either give you the generic penicillin (amoxycillin) or tell you to get an over the counter product for your child. These are the recommendations for children, especially under 6 years old: no aspirin no over the counter cough/cold [...]

OMG I can’t believe it! My baby has a loose tooth! I can’t believe it. It’s his second bottom tooth from the middle on the left side. He is nearly five so I am not THAT shocked, but still! We also looked and saw that he is 3 foot 9 inches tall and weighs between [...]

He took his father’s work shirt, rolled up in it, climbed on my lap, and fell asleep. Poor baby. He has a cold and it’s taking its toll on him right now. He should be all better within a week, though. My mother sent me an email about putting vicks vapor rub on your feet [...]

You aren’t? Well how about we take a look for ourselves, shall we? Obviously, both mommy and you are wrong sir. I didn’t think he was allergic to cats. He has not had nearly as much exposure to them as he did today. We dropped Coby at the kennel and my son decided to pet [...]
This morning my son woke up and said: Mommy. I grew bigger in my sleep! I really did. Come and see! *he has a wall hanging for telling his height.* We go in there, he stands next to the height measurer … lo and behold. He is right! He has grown an inch bringing him [...]
One of the things my mother used to worry about a lot when I was a child in school were the germs. It was a real issue for her, especially when I fell and slashed my knee open. The only thing the nurse could do was put triple antibiotic on the wound, a bandaid, and [...]
We took Taz to the doctor yesterday as he has had a vicious cough for longer than normal. It was so bad, he couldn’t sleep through the night. While we were there the doctor mentioned something about him getting fluoride from our water. Hubby told him we buy bottled water, so that’s a no go. [...]
