My kids love hot dogs. What does the research show about eating cured meats like hot dogs several times a week? Does it really increase the risk of cancer?
Oh, and a related question. Are the “nitrate free” hot dogs that use celery juice any healthier than the regular hot dogs?
Is apple Juice really all that bad for a child who has reflux? What about OJ?
Is it possible to eat “too much” fruit

I suscribe to your newsletter :-)
I would ask a nutritionist what kinds of fruits & vegetable supplements/replacements I can give my daughter who refuses to eat fruits or vegetables. Are fortified juices good replacements? Are vitamins? Any help would be great. Thanks!
My question: how do I make sure I squeeze enough servings of each food group into their diet? Also, I am a subscriber by email and confirmed.
I fanned/liked Littlestomaks Facebook page just now.
I just suggested Littlestomaks Facebook page to a facebook friend
sometimes my son won’t eat for days, except nibbles – and other days he will eat like crazy. Is this normal and healthy? Should I enforce more regular eating patterns?
I would ask for a meal plan! I know that probably sounds silly- but I want to give them all the nutritional elements they need and want a spelled out chart to do it. OCD maybe?? :)

My child is only 2 1/2 years old and loves to drink to much milk. How can I make sure that I am not over doing it with him?
I would ask what are the best food to give to kids in certain ages like from toddler to teens. It’s now a concern for me since I’m pregnant with my first.
I’m a fan of you in FB. Sorry, used the wrong email add on my 1st comment. Both email works but this is what I used to subscribed on your feed.
I suggested your FB page to my friends.
I would ask the best way to get them to eat more fruit- now all they want are things like fruit snacks!
My question is – is eating too much dairy a problem? My daughter loves milk and yogurt and cheese, and some days eats 6-7 servings of dairy products. Should I limit her to 4?
I am a facebook fan (Anne Jolly)
I would ask my pediatrician for specific details on resources to educate my tweens on the value of good nutrition and link to health. I would also ask her for ideas on a menu plan.
I would ask if I should give him vitamin D or other supplements.
How much is too much apple juice?
I am a subscriber.
I would ask what tactics/habits to use to build a life long love of healthy eating. I feel as though she has a great approach to eating now (even at 4!) but I’d love to know how to keep that going through the tough teen years and beyond.
I would ask about my kids and multivitamins. I always hear they don’t need them, but I’m never sure they get enough of the right vitamins in everything they eat.
I would ask the Dr. about the best foods for Teeth Health other than cows milk for my kids…
I just became a FB fan of yours Birdie Skolfield
Is the vitamin I chose for my toddler sufficient?
my son has a growth disorder and is constantly hungry. since he has such a large metabolism its hard to know how much food I should give him. he eats all day… healthy snacks like apples, carrots, cheese sticks, and crackers. Is that okay?

Is there a way to help your toddler not be a picky eater?
My son just turned one and since I have struggled with obesity most of my life, I would love to ask what I can do nutritionally to ensure my son doesn’t face the same struggles.

I suggested your Facebook page to 5 friends!
I’m a Facebook fan. As for a question, I don’t have too many, but recently, I did ask my pediatrician how many IUs of supplemental vitamin D she recommends daily for kids.
I would like to know the “truth” about Organics. Everything you read shoves the Organic label down your throat. But what if an all-organic diet for your toddler is not financially feasible?; are there other ways to give them a pesticide-and hormone-free diet?
Thanks!
I have a very underweight toddler. What are the best ways to add calories to food? I am often told to add cream, olive oil, or butter, but that just doesn’t seem healthy.
I will ask the Dr. wow may meals and milk bottles does my child need to have during a day.
Is whole wheat bread really a good substitute for brown rice & oats & other pure grains?

How do I get my 8 year old to TRY new healthy items without gagging?! Is there an easy way (for a mom who works out of the home) to hide veggies in things when he won’t eat casseroles?
I would ask “How much milk is too much?”. My kids love milk and that seems to be one of the only things they ever want to drink.

well i’m a doctor so I don’t know that I’d have many questions, but I’d worry more about mental health and wonder about the fine balance of support vs. pressure
My question would be “What is a good meal plan for a pre-teen who has/is going through a major growth spurt and wants to eat everything in sight?”

How much food is too much? One of my friends gave his 18-month old baby 12) strawberries and wondered why the kid got sick! (This kid is not a big baby, in fact he’s quite small for his age) I’m not that clueless but sometimes I worry about over/under feeding.
My son has low iron in his blood. What can I do to to get his iron count higher when he doesn’t really eat meat.
ccalcut(at)gmail(dot)com
I would ask for some suggestions on how to help my kids feel good about eating their healthy lunches from home. According to my first grader, “everyone” except for her packs a lunchable or other convenience foods.
If I could find out one thing about nutrition for kids, I think it would be to ask about how much dairy and meat they need at each age. Sometimes I wonder whether our menu is enough or too little. I’d like more scientific insights!
I have fanned you on Facebook!
I also shared this with a friend on Facebook. Thanks so much!
Subscriber now.
I would ask how to get more green veggies in the diet.
If a child refuses to eat, should we just let it go? Is it true: They will eat when hungry? Is it necessary to warm the food it they like it cold?

Is alot of fruit juice too much sugar for a child?
I would ask what they recommend as the very besy source(s) to get information about children’s nutirition. There are so many (conflicting) views out there I want to know what doctors consider reliable.
I subscribe, and my question would be: How do i get my daughter to eat? Seriously, she REFUSES to try anything new, and just about lives on pizza and cereal. It is so frustrating! She won’t even eat spaghetti-os or grilled cheese sandwiches!

My number one questions for a pediatrician or nutrition expert would be how to deal with a picky eater, especially when it comes to vegetables. What are the best ways to encourage children to eat their veggies, or what are some creative ways to either incorporate or “disguise” the use of veggies in their favorite foods and meals? Thanks a lot!
I subscribe to your newsletter. Thanks!

I would ask about Hot Dogs. My son LOVES hot dogs.. Like will seriously sit down and eat 3-4 hot dogs.. And, Is it normal he eats so much? Is it normal for a 2 year old to be able to finish a Family Size Box of Mac n Cheese? Plus fruit and a veg.? LOL. He must have a high metabolism (not from me lol) because he is one petite child with an appetite!
