Food for the pregnant mother, newborn unable to nurse, and for first foods for a baby/toddler...

Hi Sunshine,


http://www.westonaprice.org/children/index.html


That's the index for articles on pregnancy/lactation nutrition for mom, on homemade formula for moms/babies when nursing has not worked, and on what to feed as "first foods" for an infant/toddler.

You can find fresh-milk sources at

for your state. Some states don't allow milk sales so a nearby state is your best option. I have used both fresh goat and cow milk and both are great for little ones (and their "big ones" too -- I love it).

Soy formula should be considered poison. I'd feed my children heroin before I would feed them soy formula. Nobody should eat non-fermented soy products and it is no coincidence that it is placed in food for those unable to complain about it. Doctors who recommend it and stores that sell it, not to mention companies that make it, are all engaging in criminal activity.

Apple cider vinegar applied externally, and probiotic (we use Megaflora) internally (1/2 capsule per day in a bottle) will help with eczema. At 5 months our twin daughters got croup and I dutifully took them to the doctor, where one of them got a shot of steroids (in retrospect, it was completely unnecessary as her sister had already gotten over the croup without the shot). Shortly afterward, she developed a little spot of skin-something on her upper back. We did the ACV -- diluted with water -- and Megaflora and it went away within a couple of months.

If I get pregnant again I will eat more raw eggs and drink more fresh milk, supplement with iodine, and concentrate on organ foods and high-quality meats in general in the last trimester especially (and in that "4th trimester" -- the first three months after they are born!).

The WAPF website provided me with the greatest amount of useful information -- another website that is helpful is Nina Planck's:

She is great on why we should steer clear of what she labels "industrial foods" and stick close to saturated fats and traditional whole foods.

Thanks, all, for an interesting thread...
