Starting Solids: 4 Months, 6 Months, or Somewhere In Between? | The Science of Mom Science of Mom reader Roxanne left a comment on my post about the recent peanut allergy study. She wondered about starting solid foods with her 4-month-old baby boy: “Do you have an opinion on starting solids at 4 months versus 6 months? I noticed that many of the studies on allergy include babies in the 4-6 month range, but I think that the current recommendation is to wait until 6 months. I ask because my baby WILL NOT drink out of a bottle while I’m at work. I totally understand Roxanne’s confusion, because there’s lots of conflicting advice on this topic. Let’s start by getting our terminology straight. Starting solids is just the beginning of a slow transition from an exclusive milk diet to a diet of table foods. Should you give your baby solid foods at 4 months, 6 months, or somewhere in between? What is the history of starting solids? What is the official advice about starting solid foods? Just about everyone agrees that is best to wait until 4 months to start solids. References:

Vaccinations: What Baby Will Need We know it’s painful to watch baby get poked and even worse to hear the inevitable crying, but immunizations are crucial for his or her health. If baby is extremely sick, then your pediatrician will probably modify the immunization schedule. Otherwise, baby should get vaccinated on a regular basis following the guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC. Though some children do suffer from mild reactions to immunizations, very few become seriously ill, and any pediatrician will reassure you that the benefits of having antibodies (needed to fight infections) far outweigh the risks of baby getting shots. So what exactly do these shots protect baby from? We broke it down with help from the AAP: Hepatitis B Vaccine (HepB) It prevents: Hepatitis B, a chronic or acute liver disease that can lead to liver failure and cancer. When baby gets it: The first dose should be given before baby's discharged from the hospital after birth. Rotavirus Vaccine (RV) Varicella Vaccine

Winter Maternity Session Dec Winter Maternity Session Things have been going non-stop since September and I realized I have NOT kept up this blog at all. I do not like Facebook's resolution so I hope I can stay on top of this so that clients and friends can see my photos in better quality! Yesterday I had a fun and easy going Maternity session with soon to be first time parents M and S. They braved the cold and all the snow and then came indoors for some belly shots. Posted 29th December 2010 by Melissa Champagne Labels: maternity Add a comment Champagne Photography Magazine Loading Hungry Baby (Homemade Baby Food) My favorite baby is ready to eat! And as her proud “Auntie Gabi,” you know I was happy and honored to help prepare her first meals. So baby food it is. I know babies have to be introduced to flavors slowly. For example, one of my favorite first meals was banana mashed up with orange juice. Anyway, before embarking on this project, I took a couple little spoons full of store bought baby food (peas) just to see what I was up against. The major drawback to those store bought foods is that they bare very little resemblance to what good food actually tastes like. At least when you make it at home, you know exactly what’s in it and can get your little one in the healthy habit of eating realistic flavors. After doing some research on which fruits and veggies are best to start babies on, I came up with these yummy pairings, which mama Cole agreed upon. We let Tessa taste the concoctions as we made them and were pretty entertained by all the perplexed faces she made at each new flavor. 1.) 2.)
