I ask Dr. Murphy to talk a little about breastfeeding, introducing solid food early and how that can have an impact on a child's life. Is intolerance of food also an issue? I also ask her to discuss thyroid problems because many women are being diagnosed with such problems later on as they get older. Is this being checked or is that an issue?
