I have just started raw and am still breastfeeding my 10 mo baby. I am wondering if anyone has advice on what the best ratio of foods are for me, to keep up enough good fats and nutrients for my baby (& for me since he's taking some of mine..).
I am also wondering what to do once I wean him off the breast. In the past I have given my boys organic raw cows milk. I would like to breastfeed him as long as possible, but don't know at what age children are OK just on water and juices. I have seen a few books available on raw babies and children, but does anyone have an absolute favourite they could recommend? I am also concerned about my children getting enough of everything they need. My boys have always been a bit fussy at eating and now we are raw they seem to be eating less (although my baby is transitioning well as he was basically raw anyway). Then there's all the rules about not giving babies nuts or honey until they are 12 mths...
Any advice or direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Maree
