MIndy - will you stop worrying - a mother would know if there was something

seriously wrong just by instinct. Follow your heart and not your head.

Hehe...thanks, by the way, for bringing up the skim milk & cream

discussion. I

tried it and love it!! So now we've been doing it this way for about

two

weeks. Bless my husband - that man has put up with tons of weird ideas

from

me...he didn't bat an eye to this new milk with cream thing.

LOL...well, I have that phobia too! =) I was born prematurely and

spent the

first 3 months of life in a glass box. Nice. I think that that

experience has

a lot to do with why I chose to have my children at home. If there was

*anything* I could do to prevent them from going through the same thing,

I would

do it! Since then I have heard interesting stories of how they dealt

with

preemies in the olden days.

 

Anyway, I must admit that I've been struggling over the whole doctor bit

lately

though. Because every now and then I'll read a women's magazine which

invariably has a story about some woman's sick child, and I wonder to

myself how

I will know if my children are seriously sick without taking them to a

doctor.

Like, what if my 20 month old, who by the way has never ever seen a

doctor, has

leukemia or a heart murmur or something scary like that? And then he

dropped

dead? I would never forgive myself! Maybe a once-a-year checkup is in

order?

With perhaps a naturopath who wouldn't yell at me for taking my kid to

the

doctor only once a year? dunno....

Mindy,

I agree completely about keeping kids away from the dr.! I have 7 children

ages 11- due in Feb. My oldest 3 are the only ones that have ever been on an

antibiotic, I did not know better.

I take my children to a chiropractor, naturopath, internist. He has treated

everything from urinary tack infection to pneumonia (my oldest daughter had

pneumonia every year, I found out about natural healing and took her to Dr.

Kris and she has not had it since.)

I would highly recommend a creditable naturopath, there are some things that

just need a professionals opinion, and it is comforting to have somewhere to go

to when you do not know what it is or what to do!
