Many years ago, baby cereal used to be all rhe rage, but now adays most physicians actually are heavily agiasnt baby cereals especially rice cereal which has trace amounts of arsenic. It's really only used in cases where the baby has very bad reflux or GERD and no other option is working to keep their milk down.

Most pediatricians are simply okay with rhe baby eating purees or baby led weening prepared iron rich foods

I will forever be an advocate of iron-enriched rice cereal. Easy to digest, low allergies, palatable, low GI irritation, child actually eats iron. Maybe I am just tired of seeing overweight anemic toddlers with their beige IG moms and unfinished spinach slop, but I am biased.

If kasha was good enough to sustain the ancestors and their fifteen to twenty babies per family, it's good enough to keep these modern basic beige babies alive.

The gluten free pseudo cereal with more than 13g protein for less than 4 oz? Yeah. I would say it is good enough.

I get what you're doing here, but what a way to miss the mark.

I agree, but not for an infant under 6 months. It can actually cause digestive distress/ GI irritatation, and trigger food allergens depending on which cereal powder is used.

Will it cause trouble all babies? Of course not, but that just leads to a survivor bias argument ("well MY babies did that and they turned out okay", etc)

It probably will not make much difference if someone starts their baby on rice cereal at 4 months vs pureed vegetables at 7 months, truth be told.

It's the old world solution for post-newborns who cry for more food than boobs can provide. A fed baby is best, and supplementary kasha is a fine first food to aid weight gain with nursing.

 

[cuddle striker]

I've no idea what a newborn needs but I don't think these kids are all right, because of who their parents are. doesn't matter what they're feeding them - it'll likely include some MLM poison.

Basically they had the infrastructure to do homebirths, but it was still very much a medical care situation and not like a weird spiritual awakening EVEN WITH it being a full out nun delivering the baby half the time. These 1950s women got better care than Robyn did.

Yeah but the nuns had actual medical training, not just a quick Google.

There are special shower chairs for babies that are expensive af. Disadvantage is that baby gets chilly.

There are also little baby bathtubs that may or may not fit into a regular tub, and little baby chairs to keep them sitting up sort of. A hand needs to be on them at all times, though, as babies are wiggly, small, and very slippery. The floatation device is one way to keep the baby sitting up in the bath I guess, but really strikes me as a negligence device.

The big thing is that baths are relaxing af. They're a good way to calm down and tire out a cranky baby, or even just get them relaxed enough to go to bed.

When they can sit up, pop them in a baby bath, give them some water toys, and play with the little shit. They do sleep better afterwards.

Her Reiki posting irritates me so much. Like, Reiki is bullshit beyond "touch nice, releases feel-good hormones" but she's totally off the rails of traditional Reiki in terms of her claims about evidence it heals fascia. I mean, sure, Reiki truthers are gonna try to tell you that it heals EVERYTHING in your body by increasing pranic energy or some such bs, but it's absolutely insane to me the leap she's making with the whole "it's proven!" Shit.

I mentioned the terrible film "What the Bleep Do We Know" and how Robyn would love it. One of the claims in the film is basically that because atoms are mostly "empty space" we could walk through walls if we could convince our atoms to line up just right. This is how all her talk about Reiki is; it's underpants gnome logic "Step One Reiki: applying light touch (or not!) Step Two: Light touch makes people feel nice [because we are mammals] Step Three:???? Step Four: Healed fascia!"

I treat Reiki like I treat massage - I feel good because touch and relaxed. Doesn't mean it does anything else

Every single new age practice is the same - a whole lot of flowery language without any real substance to it, appealing entirely to emotion. Same as the MLMs which I suspect is why Robyn loves both, she gets to feel like she's actually doing something good for herself and her kids while putting in little to no actual effort. There's the whole schtick about claiming you're superior to all the other sheeple - the woo-woo hippies who push this bullshit use terms like lightworker, starseed, indigo child, they all mean the same thing, basically "more special than you". She's using that mentality as a way to cope with the loss of what could have been - Luna may be barely alive but see, she has the special mystical powers like her mother, and they telepathically communicate all the time!

Don't get me wrong, it's totally fine if people choose to believe this fluff for themselves, even if I think it's silly, but roping your whole family into it, including kids who don't know any better, is where I draw the line, especially if there's a sick kid involved and it's interfering with getting them the care they actually need.

Babies grow fast in that first year and developmentaly, 4 months versus 7 months is huge. What one is ready for at 4 months versus 7 cannot even be compaired. Each baby is different, of course, but as a general guidlines, you would want to wait till 6 months, except in certain induvidualized situations (severely underweight, GERD, reflux, etc)

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and numerous other orginizations and experts recommend waiting until a child is about 6 months old before introducing solid foods, including rice cereal, to them

Rice cereal contains arsenic, and babies can absorb up to three times more arsenic from rice cereal than adults. Arsenic is a known carcinogen that can affect a baby's development. The younger that they are the more they can absorb.

At one time werepast recomendations different? Yes but we also didnt realize the levels of arsenic rice cereals had , and the GI distress is causes to an infant. It's the same thing as people saying it was okay to give water to babies under six months. We now know thats a big no no as well.

Im done sperging since you seem to have made your mind up.

I didn't take it as sperging, but I just think one major criticism of the AAP is a lack of critical thinking and overstating or misrepresenting dangers. Difference of opinion; I still know people I respect the opinions of who recommend it, and I'd go with their opinion.

Robyn prepared some delicious slime maggots for everyone, I mean vegetables!


She also makes time for some self-pampering, while making an 'ew' face? Oh, honey....

 

[Evan]

Asian inspired? What Asian person and/or dish inspired that mess? I've shit out better looking Americanized Chinese food.

 

[a hapless toad]

Has she ever made a vegetable that wasn't cooked to death?

I'd make a snide comment about her claiming to be a nutritionist, but anyone can call themselves a nutritionist so it's already meaningless.

Does Luna count? (Sorry)

The reason Robyn wasn't posting was because her fascia stuff got her in IG jail.

Robyn recently posted a video of her applying her makeup, which she referenced in the most recent photo batch, where she says, 'thanks for getting ready w/ me.' She says that she's recently been unhappy w/ the makeup she's been using, since her skin has changed recently. (And, how! She's right about that.)

But, the way she applied concealer was to dab the wand applying it on each area, and then *rubbing it* w/ her fingers to spread it out evenly, or attempt to! Your concealer/foundation definitely won't look good if you rub it onto your face like moisturizer!

Apparently, we'll be seeing more of this, bc she's getting new makeup from Oliveda in October, and will be showing her getting ready routine now to us. I'm looking forward to that.
