A breakthrough approach for a good night's sleep--with no tears

There are two schools of thought for encouraging babies to sleep through the night: the hotly debated Ferber technique of letting the baby cry it out, or the grin-and-bear-it solution of getting up from dusk to dawn as often as necessary. If you don't believe in letting your baby cry it out, but desperately want to sleep, there is now a third option, presented in Elizabeth Pantley's sanity-saving book The No-Cry Sleep Solution.

Pantley's successful solution has been tested and proven effective by scores of mothers and their babies from across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Based on her research, Pantley's guide provides you with effective strategies to overcoming naptime and nighttime problems. The No-Cry Sleep Solution offers clearly explained, step-by-step ideas that steer your little ones toward a good night's sleep--all with no crying.

Tips from The No-Cry Sleep Solution:

Uncover the stumbling blocks that prevent baby from sleeping through the night
Determine--and work with--baby's biological sleep rhythms
Create a customized, step-by-step plan to get baby to sleep through the night
Use the Persistent Gentle Removal System to teach baby to fall asleep without breast-feeding, bottlefeeding, or using a pacifier

The Politics of Breastfeeding 3rd Edition When Breasts

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:13:41 +0000

As revealing as Freakonomics, shocking as Fast Food Nation and thought provoking as No Logo, The Politics of Breastfeeding exposes infant feeding as one of the most important public health issues of our time. Every thirty seconds a baby dies from infections due to a lack of breastfeeding and the use of bottles, artificial milks and other risky products. In her powerful book Gabrielle Palmer describes how big business uses subtle techniques to pressure parents to use alternatives to breastmilk. The infant feeding product companies' thirst for profit systematically undermines mothers' confidence in their ability to breastfeed their babies. An essential and inspirational eye-opener, The Politics of Breastfeeding challenges our complacency about how we feed our children and radically reappraises a subject which concerns not only mothers, but everyone: man or woman, parent or childless, old or young. It is the 3rd fully revised and updated edition. ....read more

The Breastfeeding Book Everything You Need to Know

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:08:52 +0000

How would you like to give your baby a gift that could raise his IQ by 10 points; cut medical bills; make your baby's eyes, heart, intestines, and nearly every other organ work better; reduce the risk of life-shortening, debilitating diseases, such as diabetes; and help your baby avoid many of the common complaints of infancy, such as ear infections, tummy upsets, even diaper rash? Whats the magic gift that can do all these things? Your milk!.... Breastfeeding will make it easier to care for your baby, and it will make it easier for you to know and understand your baby. It will affect the way you listen to your child, the way you communicate, the way you respond for many years to come....In the early days of learning to breastfeed, there may be times when you feel like tossing in the nursing bra and reaching for a bottle. You may be tempted to believe those advisers who suggest that formula feeding is easier, or just as good. Or, you may worry that you're not the type of mother who succeeds at breastfeeding. Yet, when you remember how breastfeeding benefits your baby, your family, and yourself, you will find the determination you need to overcome any obstacles and master the womanly art of breastfeeding. From America's foremost baby and childcare experts--the new breastfeeding biblefor nursing mothers. In recent years there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in breastfeeding as American women have discovered its unparalleled benefits to both mother and child.

For today's nursing mothers, The Breastfeeding Book is a godsend--with comprehensive, reassuring, authoritative information on: how to get started, with illustrated tips for getting your baby latched on properly
increasing your milk supply
making nurturing more comfortable
breastfeeding in absentia
pumps and the new technology associated with breastfeeding
making sure your nursing baby gets the proper nutrition

Mother Food A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic

admin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 02:19:54 +0000

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.
