Submitted by Natural Baby Pros on Feb 19, 2010by Nisha Obaidullah

“Every non-organic cereal in the supermarket contains BHT. Is this safe to eat if it is the last ingredient? Also, can you please tell me which whole wheat, heart-healthy cereals are the safest to consume?”

Rice is easily digested and has low allergen aspects, so it is commonly recommended as the first food you introduce to your baby. Many of the recipes for making baby cereals are time consuming, but with the use of the freezer and a blender, homemade rice cereal is simple and convenient.
This recipe is perfect for infants, but by adding a few “extras” it will tempt the taste buds of kids and adults.
Ingredients:
3 cups of brown rice, cooked according to package directions
12 ounces breast milk, water, or infant formula

All forms of vinegar have been touted as having medicinal uses for thousands of years. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates is said to have prescribed it for everything from ear infections to rashes, and the Chinese have long used it to prevent the spread of viruses. Its use as an astringent, where it is more effective than icepacks, is well known.
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.
