How Bad Is Second-hand Smoke For An Infant When The Smoker Smokes Outdoors?

22 December 2009

My mother-in-law (MIL) is staying with us for a short time. I have an infant barely two weeks old. My MIL smokes often, and always outdoors, but you can’t escape the lingering cigarette smell on things like dishtowels she uses, or her own clothes.

When Did You Give Your Baby Foods Made With Eggs?

24 November 2009

I know that current recommendations are to hold off on egg whites until 1 year. I would like to increase the variety of foods that I feed my 8 month old, but a lot of what I make or see is made with egg. Meatloaf, pancakes, french toast, meatballs, potato and spinach cakes. These are all foods that would be perfect finger foods in small chunks, but I fear the egg factor. When did you start feeding your baby foods made with egg?
