Re: Woman's Day Magazine: The Vaccine Debate Avril

[Guest guest]

I think the Sears saved our kids and I'll be interested to see this

book.

A bit OT: Don't you love the fact the Early Intervention therapists

told us that attachment parenting leads to delays in some children?

Ain't that a hoot? They offered to help wean the kids (at two) and

get them out of the family bed. So helpful, that bunch. They were

adamant that thimerosal doesn't cause delays but extended nursing

and co-sleeping do.

I sometimes wonder if, once our son regressed (after weaning at

three, interestingly enough. We think the immune factors were

helping him excrete), he might have had avoidance of touch if he

hadn't been so steeped in affection and contact since birth. As it

was, he remained a love-monkey and that was how we kept him grounded

and moored to us until the altmed and GF/CF started bringing him

back.
