Lena Junk food and candy are in no way good for kids nor anybody! Keep them away from it as long as you can. "a little is good for them" that comment is ridiculous. A little is still bad for them! Since when are chemicals, preservatives, coloring, non-organic, GMOs, good for you?
" It keeps them happy" I can't believe you put that in your article! You don't give junk to a child to keep him/her happy. You are sending out the wrong message. Rethink...rewrite!		 8/31/2009
Katya It is a very nice statement about visiting pediatrician after 2 days. Our pediatrician advices us to give more fiber to prevent constipation. We thought we found good one, but now we are changing our opinion about her. Unfortunately, visiting pediatrician not always solving the problem, but adding more to it - our pediatrician is certified, but turns out to be totally useless with basic food advises. She advised me NOT to give carrot juice to my 10 month old boy, because it causes constipation. Why should we even bother to have a pediatrician? 4/14/2009

Brianne Smith My baby is 5 months old. I breast feed and about 1 month ago I started her on stage one baby foods. She won't poop for days at a time. One time it was 8 days and I gave her a suppository. After the suppository she pooped, but it wasn't hard poop it was very soft. She is still not going to the bathroom. The dr. says to wait 7 days to give her a suppository, but she seems like she is in alot of pain. I have given her juices, water, vegetables, even prunes. I have to wait 4 weeks to see a GI specialist. They did an abdominal x ray and so far everything checks out fine.

Jo Ann Greene Mr grandaughter just turned 1 month old today. She has had problems with constipation since birth. She is always crying and attempting to push as hard as she can. Her stool is usually very hard, once she goes. Her doctor states that this is normal. I don't understand!! 6/11/2007
