Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I agree with Elchanan. I nursed my two boys 2.5 and 2 years respectively. They would sit on our laps and watch us eat and when they were old enough we would give them little bites from our plates. They are now 17 and 14, healthy, never vaccinated and never sick. It is not only healthier for your children, it is cheaper and very convenient. Plus, the bonding to you and the security they receive is immeasurable. Marsh rawfood Elchanan Tue, 16 Oct 2007 06:55:26 -0700 [Raw Food] A question about feeding kiwi to a baby - NO RECIPES! On the contrary, Erica, it is not only irrelevant but destructive. Human Infants are designed to nurse for nearly most or even all of their nutrition well into toddlerhood ... 4 years, in some societies. And when they do begin to transition from animal milk (that of their own mother only) onto plant-based foods, they are designed ... and they will naturally gravitate toward ... eating fruits, one food at a time. This is Nature's design. Any attempt to combine foods, a.k.a. create recipes, for a little one is counterproductive to that child's health. It slows the digestion (creates digestive congestion), diverts water and blood from other vital functions, at the very least. The crucial lesson here is to recognize and refrain from imposing upon our children those inherently harmful practices we were taught by people who simply did not know otherwise. There is NO form of healthful food combining in one so young.

Actually, it isn't so irrelevant because it will be relevant pretty shortly, and it's important to be prepared as the parent of a raw foods toddler. I thought it was a great suggestion. I agree with you that nursing is ideal at 8 months, though. Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting with patience for story... (LOL!) I do agree with nursing a child through 3 or 4. Absolutely. Always have. And of course not vaccinating. I want to clarify all of that.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 You can hear his story in one of his teleconferences. Which one, Elchanan? (It's probably time I go over them, again.) It's quite the amazing story. Janet rawfood , " Erica " <schoolofrawk wrote: For me, it was more like age 17 and never been " well " . Elchanan Ah!! ARggh!! Curiosity...piqued!
