Using Tap Water to Make Baby Formula – is it Safe?

baby supply
Christy asked:


Although no agency or company admits of the issues concerning drinking water contamination, the public is growing more and more critical and inquisitive about the problem. Since a recent report has concluded that traces of pharmaceutical drugs are present in 24 out of 28 metropolitan areas that are tested in the United States, people have become more cautious of the quality and status of the water that they are drinking. While medical studies base the effects of drinking water contamination at an adult level, we may expect worse for our children especially on babies. The younger population of the country is actually most susceptible to the adverse effects of the drugs that are found in tap water. Thankfully, modern science has provided us with the technology that can be used to continuously allow us to use tap water to make baby formula without any guilt.

We must understand that there is no such thing as new water. The supply of water that we enjoy is far from new. It is actually recycled. Our community sources its tap water from the cleanest and nearest watershed. There, a water treatment plant is operated so as to decontaminate the water. Through a series of treatment, the sediments and the microorganisms that that water carries are separated, filtered and eradicated leaving the water safe for use or for drinking.

All of us are aware of the intensity at which water pollution has affected our country. Thanks to the toxic wastes and by-products that industrial plants throw out to our rivers and seas, a number of watersheds in United States are struggling with the issues concerning contamination. While we all put the blame in these plants, more scientific studies have confirmed other sources of water pollution. Some of which, we may never think of actually harming our water supply. Due to some irresponsible pharmaceutical plants, septic tank failure and poor sewerage systems, traces of pharmaceutical drugs that are used by humans and animals are found in our drinking water. Just imagine the effect of such hazard in using tap water to make baby formula.

The newfound forms and causes of water contamination actually bring more serious and often irreversible effects both in nature in and human health. Many of the trace chemicals have reached into the faucets in our home because our local water treatment plants have failed to have eradicated. The chemicals in water need a more thorough processing method to be removed. Aside from pharmaceutical contaminants, the chemicals that were used in treating water, as in chlorine and fluoride, where found to cause adverse effects to our health. At specified concentrations, these chemicals produce toxic compounds as the by-product of their reaction to the water being treated. Hence, more and more forms of contaminants can go untraced and undetected by the water treatment plants supplies use with our drinking water.

So before you again use tap water to make baby formula, think twice or even a million times whether tap is still safe for drinking. To be relieved of the guilt that the contamination brings in posing serious health risks, you can use an advanced home water treatment system to purify and decontaminate your baby’s water. So why continue worrying about the water that your baby takes when there are cost-effective options to safeguarding his health against the hazards caused by water contamination.

Breastfeeding 9 month old baby.low milk supply?

baby supply
newmommy3 asked:


Has anyone else had problems with their milk supply dropping after never having any problems before? I have been exclusively breastfeeding my baby girl for 9 months. Had tons of milk when she was born – so much I filled our freezer up with extra! Started her on solids at 6 months and have made all of her food except the Iron fortified cereals.

My problems is this….for the last month my supply has dropped. I think it is due to the fact that she is eating more (3x day for solids and breastfeeding 5-6 times) foods and recent (although good) stress in our family (we have just moved to a new state and are living with family until we close on a house next month). Lately I have offered her a 5 oz bottle of formula just as an extra supplement so I made sure she got enough nutrition. I know that the more I pump/breastfeed the more I will produce. But she won’t stay latched on very long and gets frustrated. I have ruled out earache but she still dosn’t have any teeth.

Any help???
I do not want to quit breastfeeding- so please only supportive answers to my situation- thanks! I want to nurse until 12 months especially now that it is winter. My baby has never been sick and I want to try and keep it that way- I am sure nursing has helped!

Also, I went to the health store today and purchased a bottle of fuengreek (spelling?) b/c I heard of it’s positive effects on milk supply. Anyonese else had success with this???

how do i increase my milk supply when pumping exclusively? Can my baby relearn to latch on at 3mos?

new mother asked:


I had to supplement with formula alternating b/t breast milk at 1month old. Now she is use to the bottle and wont latch on.

Baby Shower Gift Ideas That Won’t Put a Strain On your Busy Schedule Or your Budget

baby supply
Lesley Mattos asked:


Is there anything more exciting than the arrival of a new baby? The instant the parents-to-be find out that they’re expecting, every moment in life takes on an added layer of meaning. Whether it’s thinking of names, planning a nursery or breaking the news to an older brother or sister, it seems that everything is suddenly a special event.

Of course the one thing new babies need the most is love, but the list of supplies and equipment that new parents need to outfit and care for their new arrival is mind-boggling! When trying to decide on a gift it’s easy to get overwhelmed – especially if it’s a couple’s first child. Should you chip in with other friends or family members to get one of those big tickets items like a crib or a deluxe stroller? And if you get clothes, should you get stuff they can use right away, or those great toddler options that are out there?

Here are six other fun and functional baby gift ideas that won’t put a strain on your busy schedule OR your budget:

Baby Album of Firsts

While the pregnancy itself may seem to take an eternity, once the baby is born, time flies by at warp speed! As new parents, they’re going to feel a longing to capture as many of the “firsts” as possible—the baby’s first smile, laugh, roll over, solid food, crawl, word, step, tooth, etc. The list of events is endless, and so will the memories with a baby photo album of firsts. That’s why, as Founder of Adesso Albums I am passionate about helping parents capture the “Now” of their children’s most precious moments.

Bib-a-Day

Okay, we know that once babies start eating “real” food it’s more like a bib-a-minute, but don’t you think that new parents would appreciate a week’s worth of bibs? Check out the choices at your local baby or department or discount store. You can get the same bib in a variety of colors, go for a cute animal theme or get seven bibs that are completely different from one another. Does Dad or Mom have a favorite sport? Check online and you’re sure to have an instant winner with an “official” team bib.

Bundle of Basics

Many essential baby products are small and inexpensive, and combining a whole bunch of them can make a terrific and useful gift. Baby lotion, shampoo, mild soap, diaper rash ointment, Vaseline, washcloths, itsy-bitsy fingernail clippers, a brush and comb set, tub toys, a teething ring … the list goes on and on! You can put the goodies in a pretty basket, a small hamper, or just wrap it all up in a receiving blanket and you’re good to go!

A Heap o’ Wipes

Any experienced parent knows that you can never have too many diaper wipes. So go to your local club/warehouse store and buy the biggest package of baby wipes you can find. (Go ahead, splurge, buy two!) Throw in an economy-sized box or two of diapers, wrap it all up with a big bow, and just like that you’ll have made things easier for harried new parents. It may not be the prettiest present they get, but it’s for sure the most practical!

Baby’s First Book

What was your favorite book when you were growing up? Odds are it was a classic that is still delighting youngsters today. If you still have that book and it’s in good condition you can add a handwritten inscription and you’ll have an instant heirloom. Or pick up a nice, new hardcover edition and add an inscription about what this book has meant to you. Since it will be a while before the baby will be able to appreciate the special book, consider adding a few inexpensive toddler board books that can be enjoyed sooner.

Gift Card

In a rush? Out of ideas? How about getting a gift card that the new parents can use at their local baby or department or discount store? That way you’ll know for sure that they’re getting what they want and need. Or for a sure-to-be-appreciated change of pace, buy a gift certificate for a nice local restaurant and offer to baby-sit one evening so that Mom and Dad can get some quality time for themselves… and make SURE they go!

Halloween Disguise Baby Shower Theme for a Halloween Baby

baby supply
Robert asked:


Invitations

As with any other baby shower, your Halloween Costume themed baby shower requires invitations. Think about using Halloween party invitations or creating your own custom design.

Donning Halloween Costumes

Since this is a Halloween-themed party, be sure to remind guests to come in costume! If you would like, you could also impose restrictions, such as asking your guests to wear baby-themed costumes. You can also consider giving out simple costume accessories (like eye patches or princess tiaras) for the guests who may not usually dress up for the Halloween season.

Halloween-Inspired Decorations

Decorations are another need for any celebration. Of course, with a Halloween-themed baby shower, you will want to use more traditional Halloween trim. Look for black and orange streamers and balloons to decorate the room. You can also layout traditional Halloween icons like witches, black cats, ghosts, and skeletons. To keep with the baby topic, consider using black kittens and baby ghosts as some of your decorations.

Enjoyable Games

Many usual baby shower games can be done with a Halloween spin to them or you can take Halloween games and put a baby spin on them. For instance, try bobbing for instead of bobbing for apples. Play a memory game using Halloween accessories on the tray as well as baby ones. Mark your baby Bingo cards with orange and black crayons. You can even do things like decorate a baby shirt with a Halloween theme. Consider giving party goers different sized baby onesies (so you will have one for now and ones to wear in the years to come) to draw their own pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats on them.

Entertaining Gifts

If this is a shower for a second, third, or more baby (one where it is more about getting together than mom actually wanting baby supplies), you could challenge guests to bring the most inventive Halloween gifts for baby. This can include everything from baby costumes and Halloween clothing to decorations to hang in the child’s room.

Halloween-Inspired Favors

Since retailers are full with trick-or-treat goodies, locating favors to send home with guests should be relatively simple. Consider getting mini treat buckets to fill with goodies or Halloween-themed gift bags.

Thank You Notes

As the recipient of the party, mom will need to send out thank you notes for all the gifts received. An easy way to make this chore easier for mom (who may not have much free time in the upcoming days) is to have guests address their envelopes while they are there (you can even have them do two if mom is planning on sending out birth announcements). Try using Halloween cards as your thank you notes to keep in the theme.

While it may sound a bit unorthodox, a Halloween Costume themed baby shower can be an enjoyable way to integrate costumes and Halloween fun into the usual baby shower routine. Your party will certainly be remembered for some time to come!
