i just want to tell you all about giving chilled foods to your baby, read the posts on viral infections, cold and cough again.i just read it.
it says that cold is caused by virus,allergens,cold wind etc. but the next sentence says that cold temperature will at the most give chills, shivers or fever and baby might get sore throat resulting to dry cough or cold. same sentence is repeated in different manner in ear infection post.
i found one more post about banana, cold and cough by hetal.it concludes that it depends on body type of the person when it comes to certain foods like banana.it has been contraversial(not yet proved)issue whether banana produces mukous. i have read some posts in breastfeeding by hetal and it is mentioned clearly that hot and cold foods react in different way in different body environment.so i think same goes with cold temperature foods also.
i strongly believe in what hetal suggests not because i am bias to her but because her most of the advices are similar to what my ped says and reasons she gives has a medical approach.
according to whatever i have read so far in her posts, i will not try offering baby cold temperature foods and cold foods because my baby is 6months old. if he gets fever, or cold itz only my baby who will suffer and as said by hetal in her home remedies posts \";it is difficult to roll back when things go wrong with kids below 1 year\";.
So,my 2 cents to you all is don't jump into conclusions without reading the complete details of any post or article.i know that i am not the right person to advice you all but i saw that you all are getting carried away by one personal experience without knowing the complete details or medical reasons behind it.i personally don't believe that what works for one baby will work for all babies.so i thought of reminding you all.
please ask your doctor or wait for hetal reply.i read somewhere that she is not keeping good health due to her last month of pregnancy so she is delaying the replies.i am sure you will get a better explanation for dis, if she was present.
