How to Raise Healthy, Bright and Happy Children?
In this page, I share with you my vision about mothering and natural family living. I talk for personal and professional experience, and what I think is right, maybe wrong for most people. I’m a holistic health care consultant. I practice attachment parenting and family bed. I did breastfeed my son for two years and carry him exclusively on a sling. I have serious concerns about vaccinations, so I'm one of those parents that did choose NOT to vaccinate my son. I did NOT circumcise him either. We are vegetarians (although we eat fish) and follow a holistic life style. No TV until he was over 4 years of age, after that very restricted use; no brainwash for my kid. No meat, dairy products ,fast food, or candy. I believe in preventive medicine and naural remedies. I believe in finding the causes of Dis-ease, instead of treating symtoms. My wise woman instincts, encouraged and empower me to make this decision.
Today, 9 years later I'm proud for the choices I made for my family. To this day, I can proudly say that my son have never been sick, never needed medical attention, never missed a day at school. He is in an especial class for gifted children, is an honor student, and rather eat seaweed and broccoli, than any other thing. Do I think that the choices I made with him had contributed to all of this? Absolutely yes,. Natural living and attachment parenting is the right way to go. Children grow healthier, stronger, and brighter.
Today, I dedicate my life and work to educate women about the benefits of breastfeeding, attachment parenting, and preventive health care. When reading the information in this page, please keep an open mind and enjoy.

Whatever shape or size your breasts are, they are all able to produce milk when the time comes, and their appearance is not a factor that has any effect on your ability to breastfeed. In fact, the breasts only store a small amount of milk in the ducts; it’s the milk-producing cells that determine milk production.Breastfeeding works by supply and demand; as long as your baby suckles frequently, the milk will be there for him, as he needs it. The keys to success in the early days are frequent feeding and correct positioning. Please view the pictures/graphics to see how to correctly position your baby on the breast.

A woman’s breasts respond to her baby feeding. As her baby feeds, her brain gets the message that her breasts need to make more milk, to replace what her baby is taking. The more milk a baby takes from the breast, the more milk the mother’s breasts will produce. In this way, there is always enough – and often more than the baby requires. If her baby does not feed well, she will not produce as much milk. This is the principle of supply and demand. How to Tell if a Baby is Breastfeeding Well.. to read full story, please click on title.

The practice of medical (as distinct from religious) circumcision began in Victorian times as a deterrent to masturbation, then thought to be the cause of insanity, epilepsy, hysteria, tuberculosis, short-sightedness and death. The practice became popular in the 1920s for reasons of hygiene and peaked in the 1940s. In 1949, researchers began to question whether a nonretracting foreskin was abnormal, and numbers have declined. Even Dr. Spock has changed his mind. Circumcision is not a necessary, health-enhancing procedure. Far from it. This painful and traumatic operation... to read full story, please click on title.

One of the biggest dangers to health, particularly to those who do not live on a natural diet, is the ingestion of chemical food additives.
