Barefoot Toddler Question Hi My son has been walking since he was 9 1/2 months old he is now 15 months old I just recently noticed that he is slightly walking inward I haven't been stern about him wearing shoes since I thought that it's better for the child to walk around barefoot Do you think this is caused by me not putting my foot down when it comes to him wearing shoes Or is it something more serious

introducing foods: nurse before or after solid food? Question My daughter is 6 months old and has been exclusively breastfed up until now We are starting to introduce rice cereal and veggies My pediatrician really didn't give me much info on this transition but when I asked when I should nurse he said after I feed her cereal or veggies Everything I am reading says to breastfeed first (because most of the nutrients come from the breastmilk) and then feed her rice cereal or jarred food What do you suggest Thanks Hannah

proper growth Question I would like to advise my daughter on feeding requirements for her son 15 months old (my grandson:) On her last visit to a pediatrician (new because she moved to a new area) it seems that although he grew in length his weight did not increase He seems to be getting finicky with eating It seems so long ago but I don't remember having problems with either of my two children at such an early age She is very good at using fresh vegetables and fruit To me he seems to have a somewhat varied diet but he doesn't take in a whole lot at a time In other regards he seems fine very active etc The doctor told my daughter to fill him up on ice cream and milkshakes Suggestions on what kind of foods to feed him that will help put on weight and be nutrious as well Thanks
