Premies: an update – 01 May 2009

Filed under :Children

This is exciting!  With the grandparents’ encouragement, the parents have decided to take the challenge. They say that their list of to do things for the weekend include locating colostrum, infant probiotics, and a non-dairy formula. We are glad to be able to provide them some assistance this weekend in demonstrating how to make a variety of fresh baby foods.

Interestingly, the grandfather’s paternal grandmother was a vegetarian and he’s beginning to lean that way.  Never too late.  This story may take a number of interesting turns.

“Premies”: a specific case of dietary needs

Filed under :Children

We have begun following a lovely set of premature twins who currently are experiencing some digestive and immune function deficiencies.  The parent and grandparents have approached the doctors for answers but have not seen the results they desire.  The babies were not breastfed.  They have been challenged to make the following changes to the children’s dietary regimine in a effort to improve their overall health.

1.  No further foods containing animal products (meat and/or dairy).

2.  Introduce cholostrum into their diet

3.  Introduce infant probiotics into their diet.

4.  Make baby food fresh instead of purchasing canned products.
