<shrug> Just doing what is best for little himself. Don't think of it
as great mom or not. I just don't want to take one more thing away from
him...not when he likes it, it calms him down, and soothes him.

Now there's something I didn't think of. Hmmm...better call the
allergist :-).

Yeah...it's sad really. There are so many benefits to bf'ing, I don't
know why more don't do it. Or why they want to give an inferior product
to a child...(not flaming...even the formula producers have to say that
breast is best)

Let's see...little himself gets Abidec liquid drops, and calcium sandoz
(a liquid calcium supp...he can't take a lot of the pills cause they're
milk-based). Big Himself and I do Trader Joe's (well, Trader Darwin's)
Multi's (we bring them with us from the states...we've taken them for
years, and like them a lot). And I do Sona Calcium supp 2x a day.

There isn't much calcium enriched food over here (not like in the
states), but we get as much as we can.
