The Search for the Best Organic Milk

Monday, December 29th, 2008

I enjoyed this discussion on Moments in My Life about finding the best organic milk – for the budget and the palate. Her family read Dr. Greene’s Seven Reasons Why Kids Should Drink Organic Milk as more encouragement to make the switch. They’ll be happy they did!

Dr. Greene on the Amazon Green Scene

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Jeremy G, a blogger for Amazon.com’s Green Scene Blog, weighed in on Alan’s Organic Journey after The New York Times article about his 3-year dedication to eating only organic foods.
Jeremy brought up some good points about organics research – that scientists were still discovering the differences in nutrient content between organic and non-organic food. Nutrient [...]

Eyes and Styes

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Ouch! Little Vai woke up with a big red bump on his eye that made his eyelid swollen and painful. Poor little guy. As Vai’s mommy found out, a stye is a bacterial infection at the edge of the eyelid. It’s pretty common in kids, especially if they’ve had one before. It usually lasts a [...]

Joy has a Tooth!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

I smiled so big when I saw this post – Little Joy has her first tooth! I can remember the thrill the first time I felt the little sharp tooth in my baby’s mouth. What an exciting time.
As Dr. Greene notes, girls usually get teeth before boys, and the lower teeth come in before the [...]

Bath Time for Baby?

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I really liked the discussion by Café Suzanne on CafeMom about how often to bathe your baby. Especially in the winter, your baby’s skin might get a little dry from a daily bath. Many parents make bath time a part of the bedtime ritual because baby loves it so. But Dr. Greene says if you [...]

Beware the Nasty Rotavirus

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Who gets rotavirus? Almost every child on the planet by age 5! It’s an extremely contagious little virus that can cause routine vomiting and diarrhea as well as severe, life-threatening diarrhea.
Paul’s little girl Ava recently caught the bug, as did several people at their holiday gathering this fall. As Dr. Greene reports, most cases occur [...]

Separation Anxiety

Friday, December 12th, 2008

It’s a very stressful time for little Nate and his family. Poor little guy – he has so many people he loves around him, and it’s so tough when they leave! At 8 months, our little guys are starting to remember objects and specific people. They learn what it looks like when you’re about to [...]

I’m so proud of Alan

Monday, December 8th, 2008

As many of our readers know, my husband, otherwise known as our own Dr. Alan Greene, is an avid proponent of eating organic food. Three years ago, he was standing in a cow pasture (I’m not making this up), and he had a crazy idea. He was listening to an expert talk about the dramatic [...]
