I had the best of both worlds. i was too premie to breastfeed( one and half lbs) so Mum fed me from a bottle, in the incubator,from breast milk.
Glucose, ick. no wonder they get colic. Wheat isnt so good for anyone.

Glucose is a sugar, not a wheat product. Gluten comes from grains such as wheat, corn, rice.

My mother breastfed us - while she smoked a cigarette! She drank an Iron City beer before to relax her!! This was the early 60s.

I don't have kids. However, I agree this is a highly personal decision.

Ha, I don't remember what my mom's beer of choice was, but her OB told her that beer would increase her milk production for my baby sister. (She never had any trouble making enough milk for me or my middle sister. ) But anyway, she drank the beer, and my baby sister was the only one of us who could stand the taste of beer when we'd ask for a taste as children.

My sister wound up alcoholic (real strong in recovery now) but I don't really think the breast-beer had anything to do with that.


And, my birthday is Nov. 5

My son and one of my best friend's daughters are both born on Nov 5. Guess what their names are?

Will & Grace.

I don't think i've ever known of so many other Scorpios!
I am being lazy today and feel just a little guilty. Went out to brunch with son #1 and his gf and had all intentions of going on a short ride when we got back. I just feel tired, like drugged tired. Then the weather keeps saying it's going to rain/thunder. It will be dark for awhile, then the sun comes out. So after an hour or so of thinking we decided not to ride. Went to the nursery, but couldn't find the flowers i wanted, so now I am drinking coffee and going to start preparing for dinner guests.
I am going on a 40-50 mile ride tomorrow, so I don't feel *too* bad.

That's a nice story, Mimi. Tuck, my birthday is Nov. 4th!
My first son was due 10/26. On the 8th, which was a Friday night, I started having contractions, so I took a bath, shaved my legs, and went and cleaned the kitchen . I woke up at 5 AM on the 9th, in labor and bleeding. At 6 AM, we were speeding down I-10 (it was a Saturday) to Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, from Tempe. We got pulled over by a cop, who told us to just go to some other hospital!My husband peeled out, after he said, "My wife is in labor and bleeding," and we raced to the hospital, which was not far at that point. The guy was going to give him a ticket...
When I got in the elevator, the aide with the cart full of breakfast trays lost control of it and it crashed into my legs. I screamed "WTF?" really loud and was hysterical when we go to the L & D floor. Of course Josh wasn't born until 2 PM.
I am going to see him today for an early Mother's Day celebration and will remind him of this story.

That's a great story Cranklin! And Mimi.

I was born on the coldest day ever recorded in Cortland NY (-21 degrees) during a rather large snowstorm. At about 5:30am mom woke up in labor and I was here by 6:30! Good thing the car miraculously started!

Yes, that is a good story. With our first, we learn so much.

Glucose is a sugar, not a wheat product. Gluten comes from grains such as wheat, corn, rice.

But medical grade glucose usually comes from corn and may have trace corn proteins. Which is as likely as wheat to sensitize an infant.

(And neither corn nor rice has gluten... )

I love singletrack in the mornings ahhhh. Better yet, getting the lines right on bits that i've mucked up on before.

Ahhhh

My dear will be home tonight

I was tryin gto find where they make glucose from. I thought glucose was an end product sugar from digesting things like starches and grains?

How come some of my cat foods have 'rice gluten' and 'corn gluten' listed in the ingredients?
