Random musings & rants of a girl who is attempting to do and have it all while raising her little person.

Poor Baby!

Once again, M is sick. This time, he's got pink eye & a 2nd bout of strep throat. Gah.

We started seeing a naturopath at the beginning of October and while we initially thought we were seeing changes, I don't really think we are. Outside of feeding a very healthy diet (which we were doing before), we've cut wheat & cow dairy out of M's diet as those things are often considered to contribute to allergies & sickness. This poor guy is getting lots of supplements and while nothing hurts, I hate feeling like he gets a meal of pure supplements & vitamins a day.

Sigh.

We had his 18 month check up the other day and the doctor encouraged the naturopath route, applauded the diet changes & supplements but was honest when she said that maybe, just maybe, this kid needs to go through a full year of all seasons of sickness before his immunity system is stronger.

Ugh.

So, we'll keep at it and hope for the best. I would love for M to have just one week without the sniffles or a cough. Maybe for Christmas?
