Do not Circ! It really isn't nessesary and the procedure is barbaric.

I myself had a natural pregnancy and birth, cloth diaper, breastfeed for a year, Delayed the introduction of solid food, and when we started solid food K only ate what she could feed herself(self feeding), We also wore her in a baby carrier almost constantly when she was little(never really used a stroller at all), we had a family bed and coslept, we eat as organically as possible, and use natural cleaning products, Oh and we have stopped vaccinating K and don't plan to vaccinate our second, we also avoid medication and doctors whenever we can and search for home and natural remedies(which do work all the time)!

I would love digging up some info to bring back here and start exposing other parents to but if anyone is really interested in getting alot of answers come here

It's a forum that talks about all these things and how to balance it with todays society. The only real rules are to treat everyone with respect and be open, and there is even a private forum that you can eventually be invited to that specifically deals with marijuana and parenting, I'm actually the moderator of this forum.

I really do encourge anyone to come and check it out!

The tablets are called hylands teething tablets and are good for any time you need to calm your child. The contain a tiny portion of natural ingredients like chamamilla, and dissolve intantly in the mouth and work just as fast.

I'm going to try and find some time to get some information for you about Circ, and being this close to the due date Texas I encourage you to check out the pregnancy and birth section in a sticky at the top there are very helpful sites that prepare you for natural child birth and teach you how to remove the tension, which is actually quite often to root of the pain. Childbirth can be an enjoyable experience doctors don't teach us that anymore though.
