Watkins’s Ideas About Starting Baby Foods
Not everybody might agree, but I think that it doesn’t matter exactly when you start solid foods: anywhere between 2 and 7 months age. Now the most natural time, based on babies’ behavior, their watching adults eat and reaching for food, is about 4-5 months old, but studies indicated that starting at an earlier age, as early as two months, or waiting until a later age like 6-7 months, has no effect. It appears that starting cereal and vegetables and fruits early, middle or late, does not affect a child’s eventual weight, height, intelligence or tendency to have food allergies.
Dr. Watkins Comments on Water for Baby
There are so many choices: distilled water, spring water, deionized water, filtered water, boiled water, Italian water, French water, Arkansas water, fluoridated water, tap water and even 'baby water'. What do choose for your children? What is safe, what is optimal? The easy answer to this question is tap water and also, in most cases, probably the best answer. The water system in Dallas and the Dallas area is very safe and has an excellent record for reliability. Buying bottled water has not been shown to be safer by any research, though there are arguments in its favor.
Dr. Watkins Has Ideas About Pigeon’s Toes
First of all, I think pigeons, though pretty foul fowl, don't actually have toes and their feet point more or less straight ahead, not inward. The title of the blog might better be called: "Toeing In." Many infants toe in; their toes point inward toward each other. Fortunately, this us usually self limited and goes away by preschool age without any treatment.
POD Squad
In 2002 a few employees and their families were dealing with some serious health issues. It was then that a small group formed hoping to make a difference and raise money for charitable organizations. Over the years we've participated in many events including Light the Night Walk, the Walk MS, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at North Park.
Halloween at POD
It’s a tradition at POD to celebrate Halloween. You never know who you may see at the office. In 2008, the managers dressed up as a different Lucy from “I Love Lucy.” Every time you turned around, there she was! In 2009, the managers dressed up as Sandy and the Pink Ladies from Grease. The Large Chicken beat them out in the annual costume contest.
