Eat Your Vegetables: Preschoolers Love Vegetables with Catchy Names
Getting kids to eat their vegetables can be challenging for any parent, especially parents of picky eaters. The post reveals a new, albeit surprising method, of getting kids to eat their veggies. A new study found that when vegetables were given fun names like ‘X-Ray Vision Carrots’, kids ate 50% more carrots. The effects continued to last beyond the study as the kids continued to eat the vegetables once given catchy names even they were no longer labeled as so.
Six US Manufacturers to Stop Making BPA Baby Bottles
Although the plastic baby bottle and BPA debate may have been out of the limelight it has not been forgotten. The post explains six major US baby bottle manufacturers have announced they will not longer make hard plastic baby bottles containing the chemical bisphenol A or BPA. The companies include Avent, Playtex Products, Evenflo, and Gerber; who with encouragement from 2 US state attorney generals decided to lessen infants’ health risks. BPA has been linked in studies to developmental disabilities in developing fetuses and children as well several other health risks.

妈妈博客报道：乖乖吃蔬菜：学前儿童喜欢容易记住名字的蔬菜；美国六家生产商停止生产双酚A塑料瓶；当月不含麸质食谱：“藏着”蔬菜的意大利面
这是一篇来自最近很流行的一个博客--妈妈博客上的节选，父母们可以在该博客找到一切与宝宝有关的信息以及多偏重于健康和营养的教育方法 ：
乖乖吃蔬菜：学前儿童喜欢容易记住名字的蔬菜。让孩子们心甘情愿吃蔬菜对任何一个父母来说都很有挑战性，特别是对于孩子挑食的父母来说，更是如此。这篇报道介绍了一个让孩子乖乖吃青菜的新办法，虽然可能会让你感到很惊奇。这项研究发现，当给蔬菜取一个很有趣的名字，例如“X光波胡萝卜”时，小孩子会比平时多吃一半的量。这种一直持续的效果超出了研究的预料，因为给蔬菜取一个有趣的名字，甚至再也没有命名，小孩子也会继续吃青菜。
美国六家生产商停止生产双酚A塑料瓶。尽管塑料奶瓶和双酚A的争论淡出了人们的视线焦点，但是这不意味着它已经被忘记。这个报道解释说六家主要美国婴儿用具生产商已经发表声明不会再生产含有化学剂双酚A的硬质塑料婴儿奶瓶。这些公司包括Avent公司, Playtex Products公司, Evenflo公司, and Gerber公司；他们都是受到2位美国司法部长的号召，于是决定降低危害婴幼儿健康的风险。在一些关于养育胎儿、孩子的研究中发现发育迟缓的情况还有其他发病的风险，这些都与双酚A有关。
当月不含麸质食谱：“藏着”蔬菜的意大利面 在继介绍给蔬菜取一些有趣的名字，小孩子会多吃一点蔬菜的方法后，妈妈博客又提供了一个相似的小方法，就是偷偷在膳食里头加入蔬菜。这个月的不含麸质食谱不仅满足了肚子的需要，而且采用非食物过敏原的面食。将新鲜的蔬菜煮成浓汤，加入番茄酱。这个酱营养丰富，富含维他命，全家人很快就会知道它有多健康。
