Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • Adequacy of Milk Intake During Exclusive Breastfeeding: A Longitudinal Study, Pediatrics —  Results of this prospective study reveal that when mothers are well supported and follow the World Health Organization recommendation on breastfeeding, milk intakes are high and increase over time, and there is adequate energy intake, normal infant growth, and no marked changes in breastfeeding practices.  This is another study whose results support exclusive breastfeeding, without the introduction of solids, for six months.
  • Ask Michael Pollan, NY Times — Michael Pollan answered questions from readers.
  • Breastfeeding, Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Colostrum, and Infant Mental Development, Pediatrics — New Study: Greater levels of accumulated breastfeeding during the first year of life were related to higher mental development at 14 months, largely independently from a wide range of parental psychosocial factors.
  • Going Out (Age 21 versus Now), Crappy Pictures — If you’re a mom, you’ll love this.
  • Two things on GMO labeling: A video of (then candidate) Obama promising to mandate labeling on Food Democracy Now and a petition you can sign at Just Label It.
  • The Immediate Impact of Different Types of Television on Young Children’s Executive Function, Pediatrics  — New Study:  Just 9 minutes of viewing a fast-paced television cartoon had immediate negative effects on 4-year-olds’ executive function.
  • Strengthening Things, Remedial Eating — I’ve really been enjoying this blog.  This particular post is about managing her child’s illness.  Lovely pictures and a great recipe for a natural cough suppressant.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
