This weekend I came across a "splendid soups" magazine. When I first picked it up I wondered if I would find many useful recipes. Hours later I had bookmarked nearly half of them. Now I am hungry for nothing but soup, so this week it is on the menu four out of six days. I…
We have a restaurant near us that serves real food. It is such a blessing that when we do go out to eat (maybe once a month) we can know that the meat is not from a CAFO, the vegetables are locally grown, and the pie is really good. Last fall they had homemade apple…
I stand in the kitchen snuggling my cooing babe while looking up at her oldest brother and the juxtaposition leaves me breathless. I hold onto that baby like she’s oxygen because, I ask myself daily, will this be the last one? I know I’ve asked myself the same thing with the previous three but I’m…
The other night I was piecing supper together. I threw some potatoes in the oven, knowing that would get everyone filled up. Then I went to the garden to see if there was anything there that might fill that fresh and green void we all feel this time of year. There are beds covered in…
When I started developing this recipe I wanted the bread to have a good full day’s fermentation, be flexible in its timing so that I could work it around my schedule and not the other way around, and develop that lovely sandwich loaf structure without intensive kneading. This last thing was key because I have…
I first heard of The Garden of Eating: a produce dominated diet when I started researching the benefits of a grain-free diet. I did a quick search on library loan and was glad to see that they carried it. Within a week it was in my book basket. I was able to read through most…

Hi, I read your post on H2B@H. Do you know there are quite a lot of chocies of herbs you could take to build your milk supply up so you wouldn’t have to give the baby homemade formula?
Erin – Yep. I have taken every herb I could get my hands on, pumped around the clock, eaten every galactogogue in the book. I have a low thyroid that I am working on healing, which I suspect is the root cause of the milk supply issues. Thank you for your comment.
I read your guest post and wanted to comment about your milk supply issue. I nursed my 3 children from 12-18 months each and had supply problems with one of them. My doctor placed me on Reglan for a few weeks to help increase my supply. This medication is used for stomach problems or something not normally associated with lactation but it was successful in my friend and I.
He made several phone calls and read material about it before prescribing it but it works!
I also pumped on one side while the baby nursed on the opposite side every time or at least every other time to boost the demand.
Just a few tips that I thought you would like to hear to go back to all natural if possible.
