Accepted Answer

: No, the soaking is not the solution. These changes are due to gradual loss of estrogen that comes with menopause which results in dramatic changes in the appearance of vulva and vagina. With age, skin of vulva becomes thin, loses elasticity, and moisture so that the patient starts feeling burning and itchy sensation. Talk to your doctor about to treat. OTC use silicon based vaginal moisturizer.

: 50 years ago infants were fed solids early &amp; frequently to make up for deficiencies in the evaporated milk formulas moms made at home.Today early feeds are an antiquated practice &amp; do not add to the child's nutrition.Today solids are viewed as a tutorial to transition baby to the table.

ABSOLUTELY NOT OK!!!: This would be VERY unhealthy. Tuna contains mercury; it's unsafe to eat more than 1 can of albacore every 9 days or 1 can of chunk light every 3 days or you become toxic with mercury- see http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/tuna.asp
Oatmeal is OK, but doesn't have much protein or essential oils. 
Experts now advise 9 servings of veggies &amp; fruit each day; multivits don't have phytonutrients.
