Dear Livitician,
I read in American Baby that eating almonds was a way to prevent allergies in children. Is this true? Do they mean food allergies or any kind of allergy (I'm allergic to cats and dust)?
Dear Fitness Expert,
I'm trying to get pregnant and wonder about taking certain over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin, Tylenol, Chlor-trimeton (for nasal drainage from allergies) and Sudafed™. Would any of these medicines hurt the baby during the first trimester or later?
While the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding an infant for a full year, statistics show that only 64 percent of U.S. women breastfeed in the early postpartum period, and only 29 percent of them continue to breastfeed six months after birth.
Some people spend the fall eagerly awaiting the piney smell and warm glow of a live Christmas tree. Others who celebrate Christmas, find indoor trees, not to mention greenery-draped mantles and cinnamon-scented candles, bring little more than a runny nose and a tight feeling in their chest.
