Honey

[AmandaKDT]

Oh interesting!! That is something I'll look into, thanks!

I restrict peanut butter, nuts, honey, shrimp and eggs so it would be great if it's now changed! Something an old dc centre I worked in restricted but I never really do is strawberries but it's always in the back of my mind when I give to the little ones

With my being licensed all meal plans would have to be approved by my coordinator. The only thing I would told that had to be restricted until 2 years old was peanut butter - though I don't follow that belief myself. I am on the give it early bandwagon. But I have to say that I find it frustrating how much conflicting advice and recommendations there is out there about everything.

My daughters are less than 3 years apart in age and some professional medical advice I was given from one baby to the next had totally changed.

And this is why I get frustrated by this blinding misinformation that nutrition is somehow connected to a profession which has absolutly no training in nutrition. The last person I would be speaking to about nutrition for children or adults is a medical dr. Likely the reason for the inconsistency in information is because the people being asked do not have the training or qualifications to actually know. Ask a dozen qualified nutritionists and you would likely get consistent answers, ask a dr about medical questions not nutrition questions. MD's are medical doctors specializing in medicine, Nutritionists are licensed professionals specializing in nutrition. Shame this country rams the food guide down our throats making the nation sicker via dietitians legally obliged to stick to he one model proven to not work and they are the ones dropping the pamphlet at the dry office telling the dr what to say. Damm the MD letters leading people to have this false sense of security that they aparantly know everything and bravo to those fighting for real facts.

Yes, I usually just smile and nod when I get any nutritional advice from a doctor. I do my own research and have had way more success than if I followed a doctor's advice. Doctors have alot of knowledge, but they are people just like you and me and can't possibly know everything.
