I Do not have any photos of myself available yet, so my seven year old is filling in for me.

Isn't he cute?

The best advice I can give anyone is leverage the power of the internet. If you are just looking for answers to a homework question or seeking business ideas, the net is the place to start. Not only does the net provide information, it can also be leveraged to make anyone lots of money.

Hi, my name is Tammy, I am 32 years old, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my son and his daddy. I love helping people with their problems and I also really enjoy getting to know new people. So, look around my column. Maybe I have given advice that you could use someday!

Looking forward to helping you!




P.S. If you are interested in knowing how I am leveraging the net to build my fortune, please e-mail me!!

My daughter is only, 12 days old. Premium Formula makes her eyes real goppy she can't even open them we are taking a warm wash rag over and over again wipeing her eyes several times about every 5 minutes. I switcher her to Soy milk and she got really bad diarea but her goppy eyes stopped and I was afrid she was going to get dehydrated so i m oved her back and called the doctor and still waiting to hear back from her has anyone expierenced this or no someone that has?

Dear Formula,

Yes, I have seen this before. Keep her on the soy if her eyes stopped getting mucus, that is good.

The diarrhea will go away when her body has adjusted to the new diet. That is not uncommon when changing foods. The important thing to look at is what is in the formulas you are feeding her. Most formulas are made from corn syrup solids or a variation of corn syrup products. This will cause your babies body to do some crazy things. The formula given to infants, like Similac and Infamil, are not good for them. It is hard for their bodies to process, and often times babies that are put on formula in the hospital will end up jaundice and dehydrated within a couple of days.

Everyone knows breastfeeding is best. If you are having problems with your milk coming in, you can buy an herbal tea called Mother's Milk that will promote your milk production to go into overdrive. Look at your local health food store, or on-line. You must have someplace for the milk to go and you must encourage the breast to allow this. You can do this by getting a breast pump, and pump your breasts every three hours, for fifteen minutes at a time. No matter how much milk you get, always add that your babies formula.

I had this problem with my daughter. Her first 15 days of life were on formula. She has issues similar to what you are describing, and was Jaundice and dehydrated after three days. I used the tea and pumped religiously, and she has been on breast milk only for almost three months now.

This is a time for bonding between you and your baby. Having these issues is not helping that situation. Your baby depends on you to keep it fed, warm, burped, and clean. These are the only things, beside love and sleep, that your baby needs.

If you need more mother advice, I am more than happy to share my knowledge with you.

I would not talk to your doctor about your daughter's diet. The doctor is not a nutritionist. The doctor is there for illnesses and check ups. There is nothing wrong with your baby except the food she eating. Your best bet is to avoid anything that is not organic. Read labels and avoid anything containing corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, Modified Food Starch, and Natural Flavors.

Your baby's system is new, and still adjusting to the foods you are giving her. When you change her diet, she will either get constipated or have the runs. It is ok to give your baby water. So if you fear dehydration, give her water(Do not use Pedialyte, corn syrup is the main ingredient).

The so called experts say that formula and breast milk have all the water a baby needs. However, I would not put too much faith in what they say regarding a baby's diet. Everything needs water to live and grow. You should give new your baby water as often as possible, but do not substitute it for food. My rule is that before one feeding during the day, I let my daughter drink a little water before she eats. I usually do not let her drink more than a half ounce. I do not want her getting full on water.

If you are unable to get your breast milk to come in, feeding your baby goat's milk is better than giving her formula. Although, you need make sure the goat's milk does not have corn syrup or corn products in them.

I hope that I helped give you some more options than what you have been given already. Check out a diet known as the Blood Type diet. If your baby is a certain blood type, she may be allergic to soy, or the formula, or even the goat's milk.

Good Luck. I am here whenever you need me!
