Product Description
This alternative medicine and traditional foods, how-to-cookbook and herbal is recommended by lactation consultants and approved by the La Leche League International Book Evaluation Committee.

Written in an easy-to-read style, the guidelines and supplements discussed in "Mother Food" are similar to those used by MDs in the treatment of autism and ADHD. Boosting mother and baby's immune systems and facilitating gentle detoxification positions the mother and baby for a lifetime of ultra health.

Drawing on traditional nutrition, and describing simple, whole-foods cooking techniques, "Mother Food" has become a reference for nutritionists, lactation consultants, and all those who assist mothers in the postpartum period with protocols for low milk supply, infant colic, anemia, thyroid issues, postpartum depression, yeast issues, foggy mindedness, food sensitivities, weight gain and weight loss, and much more.

A book like this is hard to find. A rarity. Information is clearly described in a warm, supportive tone, making it accessible and non-threatening - so important for first-time mothers.

* Discover recipes to increase and maintain an abundant milk supply, to promote the let-down reflex, and increase the healthy fat content of breastmilk, along with other immune factors.
* Learn guidelines for the detective work involved in eliminating so-called "trigger foods" that may be the cause of a baby's colic, insomnia, eczema, or other distress
* Practice basic detox and chelation - gentle enough for the breastfeeding period
* Balance your blood-sugar, develop vitality, overcome fatigue
* Say good-bye to food cravings, lose weight, and maintain a healthy weight level without the yo-yo effect
* Increase your clear-mindedness and increase the IQ-enhancing components of your breastmilk

In addition, "Mother Food" describes insights from breastfeeding traditions of eastern cultures and ancient medicine, and provides an herbal with dosages and preparations for galactagogues.

5 out of 5 stars a must for mothers   July 1, 2010
nje (KY)
This book is helpful, informative, understanding and sympathetic for those who have low milk supply. One of my favorite statements from the author is that while some of her suggestions may seem unusual, she is targeting mothers who fall out of the "normal statistics". If you have been down hearted by lack of or low supply, I highly recommend this book. It will educate you in many ways that can help or that may be hindering your supply. Don't give up! You're not alone :)

It encouraged me to know that the author struggled with low supply with her first two babies and had to supplement. After researching milk supply foods and herbs (etc) from around the world, she was then able to exclusively breast feed her next two babies until they were one.



5 out of 5 stars A thorough book on breast milk and health.   May 25, 2010

I bought Mother Food for myself as I am a soon to be mommy and found this book to be more than what I expected. It answered all my questions and curiosities about breast feeding health. It should go hand in hand with the La Leche League's The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. They both give power and knowledge to mothers while breast feeding. It's a wonderful guide on staying healthy and covers other topics that may come up during breast feeding including, allergies, colic, depression, and weightloss. You also get holistic recipes and a list of herbal remedies of what to use and when not to use. A great overall book to reference to and pass around to other mothers.


5 out of 5 stars The best book for breastfeeding!   March 16, 2010
J. Park (NY)
This book is an absolute MUST READ for breastfeeding moms. Not only it gives a great advice on lactogenic foods, it also has great advice on how to improve your diet and the quality of your milk. Excellent!!!


5 out of 5 stars Wow   September 22, 2009

Excellent. Should be required reading for all pregnant/breastfeeding women. Wish I found it months ago.


5 out of 5 stars Can I give it 6 stars???   August 1, 2009

15 out of 15 found this review helpful

It's been over a decade since I've nursed and this topic is a slightly on the edge of my writing and consulting areas so why did I buy the book? I ran across the title accidentally and guess I was mostly interested in how someone could write a whole text about fenugreek, a few other herbs, and a couple of drugs. Maybe I just wanted to see if the book was just silliness. Well, zowie, even if you've been consulting in lactation for many years and read "all" the books, there's a multitude of interesting and juicy meat in this book (and there's a lot more than "a few other herbs"). She covers a wide array of pertinent topics, with an excellent understanding of the current spectrum of maternal, lactation professional, and science knowledge (each of which often seem to have large gaps between them), and adds lots of insightful and fun historic and anthropologic information along the way.

She's raised my own consciousness in my own favorite directions: just how intimately and distinctly our food choices affect us.

Something to bring to the beach for pleasure reading if you have ANY interest in infant feeding; really. A must-read for lactation professionals, and for breastfeeding mothers with any challenges at all. My dream to see pediatricians read.
