Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi my name is Julie Caro, a first time Mom with a ten week old baby boy-- Elijah-I have been using ayurvedic principles in my own health routine for many years and havr enjoyed great sucess applying ayurveda to my pregnancy and 6-week postpartum period. Now a few questions for moving forward! 1. with regard to the ayurvedic principle of nursing on modified demand-- every two hours--I have been practicing this and my baby has been very happy--now that i have been hanging out with some other mothers I have noticed that they nurse almost all the time at little intervals usually to calm their babies or toddlers-I noticed this especislly at a la leche meeting I attended last week. So is it OK to nurse for few minutes before 2 hours if needed to give baby some comfort or to help settle him for sleep? I'm thinking about this especially as my baby gets older. 2.What is the ayurvedic opinion on vaccinations in general,especially in regard to their effect on the immune system. I realize this is a big question and I am just looking for most general ayurvedic principles/understanding as an answer--or if there soomething published on this topic. Thanks! I'm looking forward to being part of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
