We've kept Hazel away from the, excuse the unintelligible husband definition, cow hormone milk (haha!) specifically because of the adverse developmental effects on little girls we've heard about. <br /><br />And, just like that, I'm getting into the mom-blog mix. I gotta go... :-)uberryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585651345099520324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-56030512470463208462011-03-21T12:53:10.504-05:002011-03-21T12:53:10.504-05:00Hi Michal!
Thanks for your kind words and for the ...Hi Michal!<br />Thanks for your kind words and for the helpful link to the article (I couldn't seem to read it without subscribing to emails though...) Is it possible that I was unclear in my post about what was happening - I wonder if I should re-word it... that's MY yogurt she's eating and it's was a total exception from the norm. That was the point of the post - I was saying (in a tongue-in-cheek manor) that Hazel must have felt pretty lucky getting chocolate yogurt for breakfast! :)<br /><br />Hazel normally eats full-fat probiotic, age-appropriate and Mommy, Daddy and Pediatrician-approved yogurt. :)<br /><br />I do get that you may have been sharing the article for my benefit alone and understood that it is what I normally eat, not Hazel. Thanks for the helpful info!<br /><br />All the best!<br />RaechelRaechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749957283761850800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-77136008282379738172011-03-21T12:46:07.963-05:002011-03-21T12:46:07.963-05:00Dear Anonymous,

It's possible that I wasn't clear in my post that the Chocolate Underground organic yogurt was a big exception for Hazel - she got to eat Mommy's yogurt this morning since I was all out of hers! (I've been sick and haven't made it to the store.) I was saying that is was a big treat for her because it was chocolate - she took one bite and liked it very much! :)<br /><br />You are exactly right - babies should be given lots of good fats (whole milk, butter, yogurt, oils, etc.) through age two. We have a great pediatrician who works alongside us to be sure our kids are getting everything they need nutritionally.<br /><br />All the best,<br />RaechelRaechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749957283761850800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-70538517618610561892011-03-21T12:45:27.607-05:002011-03-21T12:45:27.607-05:00Hello Raechel (and Ryan!,

I'm not trying to sound mean or judgmental or say you're bad parents (because you're definitely not from the sounds/looks of things!) or anything of those nasty sorts, but I like to keep up on this stuff and just thought I'd let you know :) <br /><br />Here's a link to the article:<br />http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/03/05/whole-foods--major-betrayal-of-organic-movement.aspx<br /><br />Have a great week! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />MichalMichalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941992829531033106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-87285342841193680472011-03-21T10:36:57.746-05:002011-03-21T10:36:57.746-05:00See post for hints that this is not a normal meal ...See post for hints that this is not a normal meal for Hazel:<br /><br />'...certainly not purchased with her in mind...'<br /><br />Thanks for anonymously expressing your concern regarding our level of care for our child, but have a little faith that we're taking necessary steps in her development.<br /><br />Instead, find joy in the little quirks of life. That's what this blog is full of. Haze got a little treat this morning because we didn't have the typical breakfast on hand. You may have read that Raechel is sick. Amazing how quickly the norm can fall apart when an incredible wife and mom is down.<br /><br />If it's of any peace of mind, I took her to her well check up on Friday. No concerns from the medical professional.<br /><br />*This message not approved by Raechel.

It is REALLY important! That's the reason they are supposed to be drinking whole milk until 2, also!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-59948086969338438122011-03-21T08:24:30.746-05:002011-03-21T08:24:30.746-05:00oh my gosh, youre at the DOCTOR!?!?! so it was not...oh my gosh, youre at the DOCTOR!?!?! so it was not all down/up/whatever-hill after all? i am so so sorry! in possibly related news, i am speaking many mysteries today as i have completely lost my voice. ruh-roh. feel better!keight dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887072283297653771noreply@blogger.com
