The relationship between the mother's biochemistry and the formative stages of the baby is one of the most overlooked aspect of pregnancy and child rearing. Stress gets transmitted as does every ounce of good or bad nutrition the mom eats.

I work with a gal whose 2nd child is about 18 mos now and they're having a terrible time with their oldest who is 5. The 5 year old has terrible allergies, had terrible excema as an infant, his teeth are malformed and has 12 fillings already. Behavior problems are showing up at school and I suspect learning problems will follow. I blame it all on the mother and her diet. I watched her during that 2nd pregnancy- it was a "cheetos and pepsi" diet with the occasional prenatal vitamin on top. She ate crap while pregnant, fed her infant crap, and now her 5 yr old will only eat crap (chicken fingers and french fries). And she'll bore you to tears with stories about all her kids' health problems and how the doctors just don't know what's wrong.

Sometimes I feel totally insane: Why am I the only person who sees this connection??*

*I know I'm not, but.... ;)

Oh, and for the record, this is the same gal who *rejected* my gift of fudge.
