Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Apparently that's part of the problem. The baby is voracious and she's running out! Christine >>Please read some books or articles on breast feeding, especially those by La Leche League. A woman's body quickly adjusts to the amount of food that a baby wants. If the baby drains both breasts dry then the body makes more milk for next time. If you give a baby milk supplements, then the body makes less milk.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Oh geeze. I didn't know there was much of a difference! :0 >>Yes, humans wean. But no, we don't wean humans - at least not in the ideal situation. The weaning is done by the baby, not the parents.<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi, I have an 11 month old baby, I am raising him vegan. About a month ago he stopped eating jarred food and will only feed himself. I am having a hard time figuring out foods to give to him. I would look in Dr. Klapper's book for suggestions. And try hummus, lentils, soft tofu, some cooked hard squashes., quinoa, amaranth, millet- when you get to grains. Good luck, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Excellent post, thanks for sharing! Charleen sahmomof8 wrote: I have a question. Why make baby food? I'm not trying to be obnoxious--really! I just never quite " got it " about this. I am planning on doing with our new baby (four months old now) just what I did for the other eight kids, for the most part. And that is I will wait until she can sit up, and has a tooth or two to be sure she has her digestive juices working. Then I will give her whatever I can of the foods we are eating. For instance, I will offer her a mushy piece of banana or avocado on her high chair tray, and let her learn to reach and grab and mouth the food. This is such a no-stress way of feeding babies that I simply can't imagine making strained foods and spoon feeding an infant who may or may not be ready to eat solids. I think we as a society want our children to excel, and I believe early feeding might be part of this spirit of competitiveness. Not every parent is feeding their child at an early age for this reason, but I'm sure some do. And many parents think they HAVE to spoon feed infants, homemade stuff or jarred foods, because it is simply what the next stage of life is. All the commercials and all the neighbors and relatives tell them this is how things should be. But I have seen with my own kids that this is not necessarily so! If you really want to make your own baby food, and you know somehow that your young infant wants to eat solids--go for it, by all means! But my own advice, after 28 years and nine kids is to rethink how we feed our children, and not just what goes in their mouths, but when and why. I personally prefer the EASY way of letting the baby INSIST he or she is ready, and show me by his/her body readiness, and then I do what comes naturally for me and I feed them just what I am eating as much as I can. This has worked for me, anyway. JMO. Marilyn ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 This might sound a little gross, but has anyone ever tried breast milk? I would think that drinking human breast milk- although not considered socially acceptable- would fall right in line with eating raw. As a matter of fact, I think I would feel more comfortable consuming (or giving to my children) human milk than large quantities of almond and coconut milk, which can be high in fat. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Jenn, Milk is for babies until their teeth and digestive abilities are developed. After that there is no longer any need for milk ever. Sharon In our hearts we plan our day, but it is God who determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9 This might sound a little gross, but has anyone ever tried breast milk?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I never tasted my milk, don't know why?? I know my husband did and he didn't mind it. My daughter is not a fan of rice, almond or coconut milk. We are fortunate enough to get raw cow's milk once a week and we do drink that. If don't always get to finish the gallon in a week with 3 people and cooking so we don't have a lot of it, but my daughter loves it!!! She is such a skiny little bean pole that I encourage her to drink the calories and fat in the raw milk.

We have all been completely mislead regarding animal fats. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with fat, in fact there is a great deal of usefull nutrition available from this source, but only raw unprocessed fat. It is entirely the processing that causes the harm. I respectfully suggest you further your reading. And you are probably providing your daughter with the best thing for her. I only wish I could find a source of raw cows milk. neal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks Neal I guess my point was whole milk verses what most other people do which is fat free milk. I'm sure that isn't true for a majority of this group. I'm still trying to de-program myself LOL!!! I have read a good bit of info on raw milk but the research I still need to do is never ending. Have a great day and keep the good info coming Caroline rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of neal Tuesday, May 29, 2007 4:19 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Re: Baby Food On Tuesday 22 May 2007 19:00, cggomes wrote: > I never tasted my milk, don't know why??
