Mother Food: A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic Foods and Herbs for a Mom and Baby's Best Health

"This book is simply excellent! A must for any breastfeeding mother and baby. I was very low in energy after having my first child. I craved sugars, caffiene and found it so difficult to eat healthily that i got very ill and depleted, my milk wasn't good quality and my baby was very fussy. This book got me and my baby back on track to wellness. It is not just another pregancy/breastfeeding diet book it is so much more. It is about true nourishment and nutrition for the new mother, and thus her nursing baby, it is not a typical nutrional food pyramid book. I am a long term breastfeeder and i've been able to work through my health issues and continue to breastfeed my child. It is based on traditional foods diets of many different countries. It is information that is not easily found elsewhere and its all here. Hilary Jacobson has done a great job in getting all this information together. I still follow a tradional foods diet and i'm feeling so much better. I am truely thankful to this book for getting me back to health. She also addresses particular problems such as low milk suppliy, digestive problems, colic, depression, addictions etc.
I've had the book for a few years and have been meaning to write this review since getting it! Thankyou so much for writing this book - i've not found any other books about this type of nutrition that is specifically directed at nursing mothers. "
