Can I highlight my baby's hair this summer?

Absolutely because of the hair thing. Mom should be the LAST one you expect to hear "you don't look good enough because..." from. So yes. Because of the hair thing..

I wouldn't know. I'm smart enough to make blonde babies from the start. This answer is one deserving of this idiotic thread.

OP only eats 500 calories per day. My guess is that will do far more damage than wanting to highlight her daughter's hair.

Well it would depend on the lemon juice. Frozen, reconstituted, or freshly squeezed? You are the village idiot, aren't you?

Okay, OP has disappeared, so it's time for this thread to die. Let it go people!

Well I wouldn't buy organic just to put in her hair. I was just curious to see what it would do. I guess i will wait till she is a bit older. I don't want to sunburn her little head. Despite what some of you think, I do love her very much - unconditionally so. I am sorry i have not come across that way.

Cruel and unrelated. I am not starving my daughter and would never think of allowing her to even diet.

I'm still here. Not sure what I am supposed to say to defend myself at this point. I had no idea the thread would turn into this.

I think the point was that starving yourself damages your daughter as well as you.

Maybe. But you DID say you were terrified of letting her eat sweets.

Don't play victim. You don't need to defend yourself, you just need to recognize your twisted thinking.

Have you learned anything from this experience, OP?

I think there is a big difference with doing thing for cultural and religious reasons vs. doing it because you think your child is not pretty enough with her brown hair.

PP said for non-religious reasons. Plenty of people circumcise so DS can look like daddy.

So does the American Academy of Pediatricans also recommend that you put lemon juice in a child's hair to make them look more Aryan?

Please read precisely. AAP does not recommend routine circumcision for all newborn boys. They only say the health benefits, in their view, are great enough to warrant insurance coverage. (NB that the health benefits of circumcision are questionable enough for European countries to advocate against its routine performance.)

Obviously, highlighting hair does not have any health benefits. However, in circumcision debates (not looking to start one here), proponents often say they did it because daddy was circumcised, too. Those people's actions then are comparable to OP's.

You anti-circ people are like a dog with a damn bone, aren't you? LET. IT. GO. Not every thread has to turn into a debate on this topic.

No. As long as children are needlessly mutilated, I will speak up about it when the topic arises (I was not the PP who first brought it up). No matter how much you yell.

I circumcised my child and would do it again if I had a boy. Yell away. . .you won't change my mind. It's a personal choice, and one that is perfectly medically acceptable. I think I'll take the advice of my doctor over some sanctimonious random person on the internet offering me asinine unsolicited advice.

Sure, well in that case ask your doctor again next time. Ask explicitly if they recommend you do it. It's unlikely that he or she will say yes unequivocally and that's because there is no medical justification for it. No medical body in the entire WORLD recommends it. Sure there might be some old fashioned idiot doctors but ask them so show you the research that says that this is a good idea and you might start to realize that you have in fact cut off a healthy and useful part of your son's penis and that one day both you and he will regret it. Unfortunately he'll never have any say in this.

in addition to lemoning your DD's hair, do make sure you ut her on a diet to make sure she's not "too" chubby - fat babies aren't cute, contrary to popular opinion. and put a little lipstick to make her lips pinker. also, i hope you can afford good clothes for her - she really should only be i n designer clothes. you know how cruel children can be.

Not playing victim. I feel like a pariah after all this.
