Doc Gurley: Well Worth It - November

November 18, 2008 - 3:37pm 452 reads 0 comments

Every child should be sleeping on his/her back (another safe, cheap and VERY effective way to prevent Sudden Infant Death - for more SIDS prevention tips, check out the list here). Also, you’ll want to make sure the fan itself isn’t a risk to any child - no frayed wires, no holes in the protective cover that big-sister toddler fingers (or big-brother, or cousin fingers!) can poke through and get cut, no way for a child to pull the fan off a high place onto themselves, no dangling-cord choking risk. If you’re worried the fan might keep you from hearing your child cry, look for lower sound levels on the box, and consider investing in(or gifting)a monitor too.

2) Oldies but Goodies - a review of the extensive literature studying interventions for irritable bowel syndrome found that cheap, older interventions were more effective.
Who Does This Help? People with irritable bowel often have crampy belly pain, irregular bowel habits (constipation and/or loose stools) and bloating.
