ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW
"Mother Food," published in 2004 under the title "Mother Food for Breastfeeding Mothers," is here republished under the title: "Mother Food: A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic Foods and Herbs - Build Milk Supply, Boost Immunity, Lift Depression, Detox, Lose Weight, Optimize a Baby's IQ, and Reduce Colic and Allergies"



"Mother Food" is a unique health guide, cookbook and herbal for breastfeeding mothers. Recommended by lactation consultants and approved by the La Leche League International Book Evaluation Committee, "Mother Food" helps create healthful eating habits to last a lifetime.



These guidelines:



* Facilitate gentle detox
* Promote vitality and alleviate fatigue
* Help a mother overcome food cravings, lose weight, and maintain a healthy weight level without the yo-yo effect
* Nourish a mother's and her baby's immune system
* Develop mental focus and concentration, increase a mother's cognition while increasing the IQ-enhancing components of her breastmilk
* Support emotional balance


"Mother Food" provides crucial information to the breastfeeding mother:



* Foods, herbs and recipes that support milk supply and promote the let-down reflex
* Guidelines for the detective work involved in eliminating so-called "trigger foods" that may be the cause of a baby's digestive distress
* Guidelines on what to include in a mom's diet to strengthen the immune-boosting properties of her breastmilk



In addition, "Mother Food" provides insights into the views and traditions of Eastern and Ancient Medicine on breastfeeding and milk supply, and a detailed herbal for both common and lesser-known galactagogues.



USER REVIEWS
"This book is outstanding. I had originally bought "Eat Well, Lose Weight, While Breastfeeding" and was so disappointed, I sent it back to Amazon. Then I found "Mother Food." I can't tell you what a valuable resource this has been for me. It has a very international feel (the author is Swiss) because it references cultures from all over the world and connects you with moms from ever corner of the globe on what works best for producing the highest quality of breastmilk for your baby. The best recipe in the book is for the "green drink." It's a blend of raw fruit and vegetable juices that increases the quantity and quality of your breastmilk amazingly. I make this drink everyday and since then have been able to pump a full 5 oz more milk each day. I have looked and felt so much better since beginning some of the routines described in this book and my baby has been much happier and had hardly any colic! You absolutely MUST buy this book."

"This is a terrific reference for any expecting or nursing mother. I wish I had had it before my first born. I highly recommend. Information in this book is very hard to find elsewhere."

"I found this book after a referal from a lactation consultant after my third baby was born and in the nicu. I had low milk supply issues with each baby but it was worse after my baby was in the nicu. This book offers help that seems to be hard to find from doctors and the medical proffession at large. At the very least it explains things in a way that you can finally understand what is going on, rather being told some bland explanation from a doctor that doesn't offer any help."

"I fell in love with this book. I had a lot of trouble breastfeeding my first child and as I was preparing for pregnancy with my second child, I wanted answers. This book explained a lot of the troubles that I personally had. The book is also a good nutrition book, not just for pregnant or nursing mothers, but for anyone. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking for nutrition or herbal advise for pregnancy and breastfeeding."
