So that last post was supposed to be two days ago... And let me just tell you, that cold of baby baird's can kiss our butts!
it's amusing to me to be so criticized for exercising my right as an informed parent to choose an alternate vaccination schedule, meaning wyatt had not received his vaccines thus far, yet my son is the healthiest I know.
Sure, we are getting over a cold but illness isn't unexpected. What may be surprising is the four day course this cold has run.. Versus the standard seven to ten days. Now I realize wyatt is only four months so I can't pride myself too much, but obviously I'm doing something right.
So what if I see the chiropractor before the pediatrician. So what if I use dietary change and vitamin supplements instead of antibiotics. So whaaaaat if I let wyatt sleep in between zack and I when he is sick...
Did you know that if your spine is misaligned, you're immune system is not in top functioning form? And that dairy can enhance symptoms? And that sleeping in between mommy and daddy has been proven to regulate an infants body temperature?
So.. After two nights of restless sleep with us, having a chiro adjust wy (his ribs and neck were badly out of place), vitamin c tablets, no dairy for mommy, and lots of chamomile tea... Wyatt slept soundly from eleven to seven last night with no cold symptoms and is now quietly laying in his crib watching his mobile while daddy sleeps and I'm getting ready for work.
Point being, I know I'm a young new mom.. But that doesn't make me ignorant. I could probably teach YOU something..Plus, don't people always say every baby is different? What makes you think what you did for your baby will work or be appropriate for mine?
Well I feel better now. Sorry for the vent but better out than in.
