I love the name! I can’t wait til you get it up and running. I’m really excited to see your perspective on things. I would love to see some good stuff on nutrition and childhood obesity. And the pertussis thing is definitely intriguing. Keep us posted on when you get things going. Are you designing the site yourself?

I have a suggestion for a featured topic: how long is too long to let your baby sleep in the first months? It seems that every “experienced” parent I talk to says “let them sleep” and every doctor I talk to says “they need to eat every ten seconds, don’t let them sleep”. What are the dangers of doing both? (sick baby vs. sleep-deprived stressed out momma, etc…) Excited to hear about pertussis too…:-)

You are awesome Alli! love the domain name and idea both! Other ideas might include What To Do If… Poison Control-ish. We recently had an incident involving liquid dishwasher detregent. Maybe that’s not quite what you had in mind, but just a thought for the future.

What about AskThePublicHealthMom.com? Just an idea. Is there enough good stuff in the publichealthmom blog that you would want to buy it? If it’s not active it might not be too expensive. I’m working on a blog, too…trying to get more content in before I start sending people to it. I would love your feedback! http://www.ToddlerTeachingThemes.com. Oh, and I LOVE the picture–what a cutie!

Oh, I forgot to refer you to this site. http://www.rixarixa.blogspot.com. It’s a public health blog that is based in natural parenting and a lot of attachment parenting. I don’t closely agree to ALL that she writes, but its pretty good. It doesn’t sound like her content is nearly as broad spectrumed (I think I made that word up…) as yours is going to be, though.

Hey girl, I’m excited to see your new blog when it happens. As for names?? Hmm…To be honest, the words “public health” seem so distant and inaccessible to little ‘ol me…not the kind of blog that I see myself stopping at (if it wasn’t YOU, of course), however, the content of your blog most definitely sounds like something I would be interested in reading. So…I guess it is a matter of what kind of audience you’re looking for. Are you reaching out to other public health professionals? Or other mamas like myself that get frustrated with inaccurate, pharmaceutical-sponsored sites while trying to look for simple answers? Now, that being said, I pretty much stink at thinking of names. But maybe my comments will help generate ideas?? HOWEVER, I take ZERO offense of you ignore these comments altogether:) It is, after all, YOUR undertaking, and first and foremost, you have to make it YOURS and stay true to yourself. Love ya girl!

There’s an IKEA out here in Chicago too! It’s my new favorite place!! Sounds like a crazy, fun trip.
