Other-poll poll Which best describes you?
(Other poll by lovemyfamily, 823 days ago)
I research absolutely everything and anything I can. I do my absolute best to keep myself and my family safe from all toxins, etc.
When I read about something that may be harmful I do my own research and then decide whether or not it should be a product my family uses.
I am very mainstream, and buy products at my local supermarket. If I read about something that may be harmful I try my best to keep it out of my house.
I just buy what everyone else does. I believe if it hasn't killed us yet, it can't be that harmful

I research not just sites but families that have experienced what Im researching about. Im not crazy obsessive but Im educated.

There is too much crap on the internet for me to research anything controversial. Sure, I looked up gripe water and Oval drops after they were both recommended to me by friends, but for more serious issues I only talk to her pediatrician or a public health nurse or maybe my friends that have been through it. If my DD`s pediatrician tells me something is good, call me old-fashioned, but I trust her and her medical degree.

That`s great!! It`s hard seeing your babies in pain and being torn on what to do for them. Just like this new vaccine. I was torn on whether or not to give it to her, and myself (I`m pregnant) and researched and now there is no way anyone could convince me to get it. I am really hoping this next baby doesn`t have gas so badly!! Also we switched over to Isomil a soy formula and she was 1000 times better after that. Also concentrate helps a lot!! I breastfed for 2 months but dried up because she just wouldn`t drink because it hurt too much. :( I am starting to drink soy as soon as this baby is born this time and hopefully that helps!!

Omg! Us too! He`d scream for forever! Now with the organic gripe water we give him only a quater of a teaspoon (even though 1 tsp is the amount for over 1 month) and he burps like 3 or more times within a few minutes!

I have never heard that shesx. Thanks for the tip!! We use gripe water as well, just simply to keep toxins out of her body, but that`s helpful to know!! My daughter used to get horrible gas too and we would be pumping her legs for hours lol

I research quite a bit. My son gets alot of gas bubbles after nursing so instead of Mylicon drops or mainstream gas relief meds for infants, we chose to get all natural gripe water from a natural food store. Many gas relief drops contain baking soda which can cause constipation. For us it wasn`t worth it to trade one problem for another. Anyways, I think it`s a personal preference. :)

I do not want to start any controversy, I am just wondering how many others share the same beliefs I do.

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
