blood types/late talker

[Guest guest]

Hi. I have a 28-month-old (O positive, for what that's worth)

vegetarian daughter. She barely said a word until she was about 22

months and she suddenly turned into a volcano of words. She remembered

the names of things that I had told her once, months earlier. She knew

what everything was in her books. She knew the names of everyone on

Sesame Street. She knew song lyrics. She could talk about a " goose " and

then when another one showed up, she switched to " geese " . She was

listening. She just didn't talk until she was good and ready. She still

doesn't talk in front of strangers.

 

My guess is that kids do things when they're ready and all the experts

in the world won't be able to predict what month a particular child

will be ready to do something.

Hello,

I'll go on the other side of the fence for this one. Being brought up in the

Midwest by nutritionally challenged parents; I thought this was the way of life.

Meat, potato and maybe add a veggie.

Well being ignorant of health issues and such I raised my children the same way

until recently (almost 2 years now). My daughter was a very sweet baby and from

the time she could eat table foods, all she wanted was meat. She ate huge

amounts of meat I am ashamed to say now. The fact being she did not talk until

she was 2 years old and the blood type was A. When she turned two she became a

chatter box and was extremely intelligent. I think that being a second child

had a lot to do with the fact that she didn't need to talk, her brother did it

for her!

You can find people who will try about anything to win their arguments about

meat eating, whether it be blood type, low iron or you just need it. It's the

brain washing of our culture...sad to say.

A woman at Target told us that you had to have milk for calcium yesterday. I

thought I would laugh but kept it to myself. I guess if the company has enough

money for advertising in a big way they can sell anything.

Have a great day!

Wait though, now The Blood Type Diet is being attacked as being a promoter of.

But that's not true, it also works the other way around. Type As are discouraged

from eating meat, and type Abs are discouraged from eating red meat and

shellfish. It's half and half, don't you see? Come on, you can say there's no

scientific backup, but don't say that it's a book that promotes meat-eating. The

Atkins Diet, that's a crazy meat-eating diet! There's major craziness in that

book, during induction a person cannot eat any fruit and has to seriously limit

the amount of salad and cooked veggies... I mean, hello?! What about stating

that ketosis in that case is not bad??

Thank you to all of you who took time to respond to my question about the

blood type diet. It wasn't like I was getting ready to go buy my son some

meat, but I was very interested in hearing the rebuttle. I appreciate the

articles written by different doctors, as well as hearing how different

people of different blood types are doing on a vegan or vegetarian diet. I

can put this all out of my head.

I absolutely love being a mother; it's the greatest thing ever. However,

it obviously causes me to look at things closer and make even more conscious

decisions - and worry a little more, too. (even something I feel so certain

about ) I have friends and other family members who are vegetarians, but I

do not know any other vegetarian parents. That is why I am thankful I can

ask questions and listen to your conversations here.

I also usually feel very confident about how well my son is doing, and

how much he learns everyday. I appreciate hearing about other kids who were

not talking early either. Someone made the comment about him being home with

me - and not having to talk because I know what he's feeling and what he

wants at any given moment. I think that might be part of it. (Although of

course, that doesn't mean every stay at home kid doesn't talk.) So anyway,

thanks again for all your stories and information. I really appreciate it.

it's meat/dairy advocating, because it's suggests that most people

(blood-type stats, if only A would go veggie, than most people on this earth

would remain dead meat eaters) should consume meat and animals products.
