Replies are for educational purposes only. They do not take the place of a consultation with your own doctor, nor do they construe any doctor-patient relationship. Private e-mails WILL NOT be answered due to the fact that I am answering this question after my baby is in bed and I do need some sleep myself! Plus, my husband is getting jealous of the computer.
