Will my toddler get enough calcium?


It is recommended that children aged from 1-3 consume at least 700 milligrams of calcium a day, which is equivalent to 2 cups of cow's milk. 

There are plenty of calcium-rich, dairy-free alternatives out there such as soy, These lactose-free options allow you to make the same recipe you would for your family simply by swapping out the dairy product for soy or tofu, for example. 

Foods such as beans, cabbage, oranges and almonds are also great sources of calcium as outlined below:

Brivis Heater - Error Code #69

My Brivis HX23 Heater broke down this week.  H01 Code #69.  This code was not even listed in the User Manual!  Searching around the web and here is what I found: Secret Reset: This is not in the User Manual.  On the networker controller press FUNCTION > 1 > 4 keys and the screen will go blank and come back on after 30 seconds, this has rebooted the main PCB and reset the fault code. Use this with caution as too much gas build up could cause an explosion. Use it only after the unit has enough time to air out the gas build up. What is Code #69 or any other unpublished codes?  The best way to find out is to open up the heater unit.   There is a little LCD on the PCB showing what error exactly is. (Note: Opening up the unit may void your warranty.)
