Quinoa Soup a Secret from the Andes for Breastfeeding Moms
Submitted by Natural Baby Pros on Jan 27, 2010I'd like to share with you an easy to make, protein rich Quinoa Soup recipe.
As soon as my son Juan Martin was born, my mom took care of my diet and Quinoa soup was very important to help me have a good supply of milk.
Quinoa is a grain that contains 16 to 20 percent protein, it's rich in minerals and is a powerful stimulant of the flow of milk.
This recipe is easy to do and you and your kids will love it, very appropriate for this time of the year as well.

As you may know, most breast feeding women are sent home from the hospital, after giving birth, with a lanolin-based product to help relieve their sore, chapped nipples. As a physician and OBGYN, I am very concerned about this and want to send you this warning about lanolin based products.
The first thing you need to know is that pesticides have not one, BUT TWO, ways of getting into lanolin-based nipple gels and creams. It all begins with sheep—as lanolin comes from the sebaceous glands of these animals.

Common New Mom Myths
Submitted by Natural Baby Pros on Nov 09, 2009In my line of work I find myself hearing the same thing over and over from new parents: “We don’t want to spoil her” “We want him to get used to the crib right away.” These common myths are just that....myths! I feel strongly about educating and encouraging parents with the truth. I want to debunk these myths and give parents a positive message that empowers them in caring for their babies.
