Better?

For what it's worth, we're also missing CIO, spanking, and I'm sure there are more....


I hope it didn't affect your child's self esteem to know they weren't good enough for breast milk...


She seems okay, but knowing this may have a negative impact, when I realized that I wasn't producing enough to feed her, I went ahead and started up a therapy fund. I had to stop saving for college to do it, but piece of mind is priceless, right?


Amen. Someone who gets it.

Ooh, I could so use a drink, too. I don't know how I guessed it but you don't see this kind of crazy too often.

Actually my MIL did this to my DH when he was a kid, not sure how old.


My mom did this to me when I was a kid! But she used Sun-In!

You must slather your child in sunscreen (including ears and behind the neck) or make them wear a rash guard and sun hat if they're going to be out in the sun.

Children can die from severe sun exposure they dehydrate very easily. Please talk to your pediatrician.


Thank you for sharing your experience. That alone is enough to make me not try it. I absolutely do not want to do anything that could harm her.


I'm glad I could help.

It was so painful I don't even let my children drink lemonade out in the sun without washing their face with water afterwards scared they'll get burns in case they have drips of the lemon juice on their face.

All this thread is missing is a debate on formula.
