I am passionate about breastfeeding and I realize there may be situations where a formula is needed. Goat's milk most closely resembles human breast milk and there is an excellent recipe at www.askdrsears.com/html/3/t032401.asp that will help ensure you are giving your baby an age appropriate mixture. I do not advocate soy based formula as there is some controversy about it being too estrogen heavy.

Avoid Antihistimines While Breastfeeding

With cold and flu season upon us, I am concerned about breastfeeding moms reaching for antihistamines as they dry up everything...including milk. Avoid them at all cost while breastfeeding.

Sage & Parsley Dry Up Breast Milk

Thanksgiving is approaching and I am sending out a warning: avoid sage while breastfeeding, as it may dry up your milk supply. Another herb to avoid is parsley as it, too, can dry up the milk.

Hope you're enjoying a beautiful autumn!
