Glad to know others enjoy our hard work. http://blogs.drgreene.com/sightings/2009/01/02/things-a-mom-must-know/ 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.

It’s pretty common in kids, especially if they’ve had one ... http://blogs.drgreene.com/sightings/2008/12/24/eyes-and-styes/ I smiled so big when I saw this post – Little Joy has her first tooth!

As Dr. ... http://blogs.drgreene.com/sightings/2008/12/15/beware-the-nasty-rotavirus/ It’s a very stressful time for little Nate and his family.
