Any and all advertisements you might see on this website are 100% uncompensated recommendations.
I like Sinupret because it looks clean, is well-tested and I think it works.
I recommend Erbaorganics because they're very clear about the percentage of organic ingredients in each of their products. At one time, I received some free samples from these two companies. I no longer do.
If you buy my DVD, I think I get about fifty cents. Unless you choose to buy thousands and thousands of my books, I'll never see one penny in royalties.

Are Walkers Safe?
| Q.
We received a walker as a gift when our son was born. The friends
who gave it to us promise that it “saved them” as there baby got
to be seven or eight months old and always wanted to stand or move
but was far from walking or even crawling. I have heard that walkers
are not safe. Is this true? A.
They are not safe. Millions are sold each year even though
well over 100,000 babies are injured each year because of walkers.
Fatal injuries are rare, but they are reported at the rate of
two or three each year. Babies who are too mobile and not well
watched can fall down stairs, and they often do. Walkers are not
just dangerous, but developmentally unsound because babies get
to places they don’t belong. Surveys have shown that the majority
of parents who have bought walkers thought that their children
would walk sooner and the opposite has been shown to be the truth.
Walkers can delay crawling, walking and learning other transitional
motor skills.
The Canadian government
has banned walkers and the American Academy of Pediatrics has
asked the U.S. government’s Consumer Products Safety Commission
to so the same but they have not yet done so.
I strongly suggest
returning the walker to the store and exchanging it for baby books
or simple, fun wooden toys.
