NURSING & BEYOND
by Dr. Julie Barter, ND Alternative Family Medicine Becoming Mothers, 2525 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO
Learn from a natural medicine doc on the special nutritional needs during pregnancy and lactation for healthy mom and baby. Giving birth and breast-feeding take a tremendous toll on mom unless you know how best to care for yourself. Babies literally suck the nutrition out of you and in order to keep feeling good, you have to know what to eat to replace the nutrients that your body is losing to the baby while pregnant and breast-feeding.
New and seasoned mothers often end up with nutrient deficiencies. Learn how to keep your vitality and youthfulness intact even after several children. Learn what the common causes of weight gain, thyroid problems, fatigue and "frazzled mom syndrome" are and how you can stay vibrant while giving the most to your little ones! An optimal diet will also help you prevent post-partum blues, get back in shape quickly, and prevent common childhood illnesses in your little ones.
