Some traditions--like taking kids for rides on the lawn mower--are just not worth the risk.
Instead, get kids involved in outdoor chores by asking them to plant seeds, pick up sticks from
the yard, and water plants!

Babies who have dry irritated skin may develop eczema (itchy, scaly patches of skin). Eczema is a skin condition that is commonly seen in kids who also end up with food allergies, nasal allergies, and/or asthma.

When a food allergen, like peanut, egg, or milk, touches a baby’s cracked or open and inflamed skin, their immune system might see the food as an invader and trigger an allergic response. Scientists think this may help explain why some children develop food allergies.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) happens when there is too much of a type of white blood cell, called eosinophils, in the esophagus. This causes inflammation and damage which makes swallowing difficult and even painful.

People with EoE often have other allergic diseases like asthma, eczema, or food and environmental allergies. There are treatments that can help manage EoE.

Breastfeeding Aversion Response (BAR) is a feeling of aversion that occurs during the entire duration that the child is latched (translation: mothers report that breastfeeding is exhausting or sickening, or that they feel “touched out,” angry, anxious, violated, guilty, or disconnected). This feeling is different from Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER), which involves sudden, intense negative emotions during the milk letdown. For D-MER, negative feelings only occur during letdown and the Breastfeeding Aversion Response occurs during the entire breastfeeding session.

A recent study reported the results of a survey of over 5,000 women in Australia and found that one in five women reported Breastfeeding Aversion Response. Most women (96%) who experienced breastfeeding aversion also reported challenges with breastfeeding. Yet, 82.5% of women who experience Breastfeeding Aversion Response indicated that their overall breastfeeding experience was positive (rating it as “good” or “very good”).

To read more about Breastfeeding Aversion response and other recent studies on breastfeeding, check out this week’s Parenting Translator newsletter at parentingtranslator.substack.com.

Eating out at a restaurant can still be both a healthy and enjoyable experience as many of them are including more plant-based options on their menus. Whether you choose a vegetarian option or a favorite meal with an added side salad, eating out does not mean you have to sacrifice your healthy eating goals.
