You had a lot of good advice. My preemie son has had very few colds and
his full term brother has had many and ear infections and he was breastfed
for 10 months. What is it? Are preemie kids just great fighters?
The arrival of my preemie boy gave me the greatest excuse to get my mother
in law to stop smoking in my house. She would never listen to me before
and always got her son (my hubby) to get me to "lighten up". One talk
about scarred lungs and oxygen has now sent her to the garage permanently!
Don't take me wrong, I love her, but not her cigarettes.
