I recently talked with a woman in upper Cleveland Co. who is a great resource for mothers to be. She is the representative of a group called La Leche, which supports and provides information on breast feeding to young mothers ( or to curious doctors such as myself ). Her name is SHERRI STRUBLE and her telephone number is 704-538-9601 e-mail: mstrublefam@aol.com
If you or anyone you know needs some quality info /help on infant care and breast feeding , please give her a shout or contact me and I'll do the best I can for you. My conversation with her was a joy. She seems down to earth and full of practical tips for starting children out good. In these times it'd often hard to find someone who can help mothers out about breast feeding. Even though providing this care for your child may be a little bother , I assure you it is the best. There is no formula made by man that can equal the nourishment GOD provides. Now if the mom is eating junk for her diet the milk will not be as good, but even then it will be superior to store bought.
Breast milk is a specialized form of lymphatic fluid created by the body. The female breast is a lymph gland. For it to operate best the mom needs to be taking a good vitamin/mineral supplement and eating enough meat /protein and good fat (animal fat/coconut oil/ olive oil/butter). Of course good water is needed for all body functions. A great cookbook is by Sally Fallon " Nourishing Traditions". This goes into why the foods you should eat are good and also provides many recipes for those of you who can work a kitchen.
We should be wary of every "new and improved" whatever that comes down the road. Sometimes, actually most of the time, things that that worked for thousands of years will still work today. Let me know if I can be of assistance or if there are any questions you'd like be me to cover. Thanks for reading this.
