Pumpkin-Shaped Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Three cheers for fall! This past week was nothing out of the ordinary but more of a quiet wonderful all the same. I took my daughter to her second dance class of the season. The girls are so adorable you cant help but sit there with a smile on your face. We also checked out some local gymnastics places because my daughter is interested in that too. She has great upper body strength which she absolutely did not get from me.
List of Foods That a Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Can Eat
Lacto-ovo vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy. Eating a diet that is high enough in nutrients is a concern for some vegetarians. If you are a vegan, you do not eat any animal products including dairy and eggs, so getting enough protein and calcium takes some dietary planning. Lacto-ovo vegetarians get protein from the dairy and eggs they eat, but women still need to pay attention to getting enough iron in their diet.
Natural Infant Formula Recipe
A natural infant formula recipe is one option for new moms who are struggling with milk production or whose milk production has waned. Homemade formulas may be more easily tolerated by an infant’s digestive system compared to commercial formulas, when breast milk is not available. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies drink breast milk or formula, not cow’s milk, in the first year of life. For the first four to six months, a baby’s sole nutrition will come in liquid form. The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and other health agencies have concerns about the nutritional value of homemade formulas. Parents and health advocates are also concerned about dangerous chemicals sometimes found in commercially available formulas. Parents and their pediatricians need to weigh the benefits of homemade formulas vs. commercial formulas when breast milk is not available.
