document.write('&nbsp;We?ve all heard them ? those medical myths that we all believe, even though we don?t have any basis for them.This article in USA Today examines some of those myths, plus has a nifty little quiz that I scored so badly on, it appears my children are lucky to be alive. Here?s one fact I really like: That larger-headed babies are smarter. I clicked no, but it turns out? They do in fact score higher on intelligence tests. I should have known, because my daughter has an enormous head and is also clearly a supergenius. Here are some other ones ? there?s no clinical evidence that sugar makes kids any more hyper (these researchers clearly have not seen my kids after a birthday party or visit to the grandparents?), and teething doesn?t cause a fever. And playing Mozart for babies does not make...');

Her daughter was about to turn three and still clinging to the bulbous soother, and Tsouderos was embarrassed.Oh, honey, I&#39;ve been there. Not three, thankfully (there, but for the grace of you-know-who, go I). My daughter hadn&#39;t even hit the year mark, and we were getting the stares and the comments, the creepy old bats who&#39;d reach in and yank the little binky out of her mouth.&nbsp; What is it with the pacifier that gets so many people up in arms?When we finally realized that my daughter would use anything she could get her lips around (a finger, my nipple . . . ) to soothe her, we finally quelled what we had thought was a serious case of col...');

document.write('No fair - they don&#39;t have to go through teething. That&#39;s all I could think when I heard about little Michael Matthew Mintz, born December fifth with a mouth full of teeth. That and - ouch, that poor Mom trying to breastfeed! The newborn came out of his mom with eight teeny weeny teeth and four little buds last week - a healthy little guy at seven pounds, thirteen ounces, twenty-one inches long.&nbsp;The teeth are totally normal according to the family&#39;s doctor; natal teeth happen in every two- to three-thousand births. Although there&#39;s a slim chance of the baby choking if the teeth fall out, there&#39;s really little else that makes Michael&#39;s unique chompers an issue for his parents, Keith and Melissa.&nbsp;&quot;I was OK with it because my baby was healthy.

document.write('Through a Google ad, I came across this: the Natural Baltic Amber Teething Necklace. Now, when you hear &quot;teething&quot; in relation to a baby product, you might think &quot;something for a kid to put in their mouth to soothe the pain of teeth coming through the gums,&quot; something that, when you think about it, sounds unbelievably painful. In this case, you would be very wrong. This thing is like the crystals I used to see bouncing on the chests of Deadheads while they pranced in the parking lot at Giants Stadium. The amber &quot;radiates energies of peace and calm to those who wear it,&quot; offering a &quot;natural, drug-free alternative to the relief of teething pain in children.&quot;Why does this work? Well, one theory is &quot;based on scientific findings which have shown that...');

document.write('Personally, I don&#39;t see the problem in administering a small doctor-approved dose of Tylenol or Ibuprofen to a teething baby, but then I gave my twins formula, so I can&#39;t be trusted on these matters.&nbsp; Teething is a tough time for the babies and the mamas and the papas... Here are a few natural tips to make those new teeth come in with less fuss:1. Rub the sore bums with a dot of clove oil mixed with safflower oil2. Ice cold celery or carrot sticks3. Damp face cloth straight from the refrigerator4. Your finger&nbsp; (ostensibly, you&#39;re allowed to have Tylenol to deal with the razor sharp bites)5. Chilled crusts of breadNext time your little kitten is mewing with pain, try one of the above and hopefully some magical combination will help.&nbsp; Or, just go back to the tried ...');
