Who infected Dr. Spock

[Guest guest]

Dr. Spock was the most influential pediatrician in

American history. He sold over 75 million copies of

his book on child care. In 1992, the good doctor

advised that no child under the age of one should

drink cow's milk. In the final version of his book,

Spock advised that no child over the age of one

should consume dairy products.

 

Dr. Spock on Milk

 

" Cow's milk has become a point of controversy among

doctors and nutritionists. There was a time when it

was considered very desirable, but research has forced

us to rethink this recommendation...dairy products

contribute to a surprising number of health problems... "

 

Benjamin Spock, M.D., " Child Care, " 7th Edition

 

Dr. Spock died in 1998, and something evil has taken over

and infected his website. Those parasites feeding off

of his good name promote the use of cow's milk for

infants.

 

When asked:

 

" My daughter has turned one, and we are beginning to

introduce cow's milk into her diet. What is the best

method to do so? "

 

DrSpock.com responds:

 

" ...commonly it's given in small amounts in a cup after

feedings of solid food. Some parents like the method of

alternating cow's milk with breast milk or formula

throughout the day. Other parents prefer to mix the milk

with an equal part of formula at first and then gradually

add less formula over the next few days until stopping

the formula altogether. "

 

When asked:

 

" My six-week-old baby has a cold, with a very congested

cough. She is having trouble sucking on her bottle and

breathing at the same time. My mother-in-law suggested

adding less powder or more water to her formula to thin

it out. How do you feel about this? "

 

DrSpock.com responds:

 

" ...a young infant breathes through her nose when she

sucks, so if her nose is blocked up, she literally can't

breathe and eat at the same time and her natural reflex

is to opt for air over food. Rather than thinning her

formula, you need to try to get to the root of the problem

by clearing her nose. "

 

When asked:

 

" My 18-month-old son has never had a problem with cow's milk,

but over the past week or so, he has had terrible diarrhea

and been throwing up...with no fever or other symptoms of a

cold or infection. Over the past 24 hours, we've only given

him soy milk (for milk) and he has not had diarrhea since.

....Should we also be trying Lactaid or equivalent to rule

out lactose intolerance, or should we stick with soy milk? "

 

DrSpock.com responds:

 

" You should consult with your child's healthcare provider

to see when you can begin re-introducing cow's milk back

into your son's diet and to make sure that something else

isn't contributing to your son's problems.In the mean time,

lactose free milk or soy milk should work fine.

 

Those people running things at Dr. Spock.com

have corrupted Dr. Spock's message.
