When I was pregnant, I often heard people say that breastfeeding would help me lose the baby weight. It sounded almost guaranteed. “The weight will fall off,” they said. My mum was in a bikini after a couple of months, but for me the weight has stayed on my belly. In fact, I still look 20 weeks pregnant. For me, that simply wasn’t true. Forty months later, I’m still breastfeeding, and despite making a determinedcontinue reading…

Sadly, money is the winner over this technology, and not those precious babies in the womb.continue reading…

The recommended daily allowance of 400iu Vitamin D in breast milk will be deficient, going off the advice of the Government and the NHS. Listen to this excellent video of Ivor Cummins explaining why breastfeeding mothers require 6500iu, which will pass enough Vitamin D through breastmilk to their child, and why all children are recommended Vitamin D supplements, when it’s so unnecessary if the mothers were given the correct information on Vitamin D. It surecontinue reading…

I question the lack of importance of Vitamin A in pregnancy by health professionals today. When I first became pregnant and heard that pregnant women should avoid foods high in Vitamin A like liver, I immediately began to resist this new advice.

Even before I had given birth, I was told that I would have to give my baby formula because I would have an insufficient milk supply. This was from a mother who hadn’t even breastfed, and she was going off the story that her granddaughter had been breastfed, but her mother had an insufficient milk supply. That might have happened in her case, but was she feeding the baby in the night frequently etc, ascontinue reading…
