Winter Minestrone

Lindsay is asking for nutritious freezer meals, and I figured what could be better than a soup. I generally have leftovers and freeze them for our own use later or to give to family members who don’t have the time or inclination to make nourishing meals. I am trying to move away from freezing our…

This Week In My Kitchen

Whenever I return from a trip it takes me a long time to get back to our kitchen rhythm. Especially considering all of the produce begging to be preserved. But this room, truly the center of our home, is full of both to-do lists and nurturing. It is my office, in a way, and even…

On My Cookbook Shelf

This little cookbook shelf is tucked into a corner of the kitchen whose counters are currently housing gallons and gallons of turnip ferments. This is, of course, near the dirty dishes awaiting their run through the sink and the basket of eggs brought in by little hands just last night. While I’m not much of a…

Pie With Annie

It was late the Friday before Thanksgiving; the sun was setting, the milking crew heading out the door. We had planned to practice the offerings we’d be bringing on Thursday, but oh the rush of Friday.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
