Considering how young he is, you might consider hooking up with the Human Milk for Human Babies network and trying to find a mom in your area who'd be willing to donate extra pumped breastmilk to...

Jacob nurses on demand (meaning that if he indicates a desire to nurse, I allow him to; he nurses until he's satiated). We still do this, even though he's 2yrs (tomorrow!), although now I feel okay...

Thank you so much for all the great replies! I will definitely use most of these ideas in the upcoming weeks. I'll forward this thread on to my husband so he'll know where we're heading. :)

I love dates... they're just so spendy that I don't like getting a lot of them at a go, so they're something I try to reserve for specific dishes. I might try doing some almond butter in a nighttime...

I know it seems counterintuitive, but eat until you're stuffed, not just satisfied. I, also, am nursing a baby and switching to an all-raw diet. In the spirit of staying quite full, I make sure I eat...

What a logical idea! :) Do you have some favorites that you'd like to pass on?

I'm having SO much trouble right now! We've been 100% raw for six days, but it's been excruciating for me as I'm a stay-at-home-mom with an 11-month-old infant who still receives 99% of his nutrition...

Was going mad for salt last night, so I threw some kale chips in the dehydrator. Just licking the 'sauce' off my fingers after coating the chips helped. And we've been munching them down today!

Hello, everyone. My husband and I are both taking the challenge this month, and so far, so good (other than me feeling like i'd die for something good and salty; we're going to find an appropriate...

I'll go ahead and say it now: heartworms are usually fatal. Wild animals eating a completely raw and organic diet DO still die of parasitic infections. In this instance, I believe bowing to the...

If you give it as an occasional treat, there shouldn't be any problems. But PLEASE keep in mind that felines are carnivores, not omnivores like canines. Their bodies have a lot of trouble processing...

Thank you! This was exactly what I needed to know. :)

Does anyone know if the recipes in Alissa's book are sized for one peson or two? My husband and I are planning to follow the four week outline next month, but I need to know if I should double the...

All right... if you can stick with it through this entire post until I get to the questions at the end, you truly deserve a pat on the back.

My husband and I have wanted to go raw for a couple...

My husband and I are very interested in trying to do the 30 Day Challenge next month, but we have a five-month-old infant. So I'm looking for advice (and maybe some recipes?) that will help me get...

I agree that other than bad nursing recommendations, his recommendations on staying away from foods are great.

My five-month-old is VERY interested in what we eat... but he acts the same if I have...

Not a bad article, but I disagree with some of what is said. Don´t nurse your baby when it´s hungry? Whatwhat? I´m sorry, but I can tell the difference between ¨Want to nurse¨ and ¨Need to potty¨ or...

Oh, yes, I knew about the honey. I wasn't aware of salt, but I'm content to leave him with barely any salt, anyway. It's addictive, and I'd just as soon wait until he's a little older to start...

Thank you for all the replies! I definitely appreciate them.

I don't disLIKE rice cereal... I just think offering my baby something so tasteless and mostly nutritionally devoid is silly when there...

We'll be starting solids with my son in about a month, once his gut is closed and he's able to process things other than breastmilk. My husband and I are high raw (between 85-90% on a good day) and...

Anais, so you ate mostly fruit during the day? How did you avoid feeling 'sugared out' by it? I notice if I eat fruit too often, I start feeling unhappy about how much sweet is going in.

Coco,...

Thanks for the replies!

Aleesha, what sort of green smoothies? I've seen lots of recipes - does it matter if I do fresh raw (i.e. kale blended with banana and mango) or a green powder?

Margoss,...

I guess I'll bite, too. :P

Jacob was born Wednesday, April 1st, making him my big ol' April Fool's Day joke.

Tuesday night was a total bust, as far as sleep was concerned. Chris and I both...

I'm trying to do high raw, at least 85% of my daily intake raw... but I'm STARVING. I'm also breastfeeding a 22+lb five-month-old who reeeally likes to nurse. And does so. Often. Hourly, even, at...

No worries... as I said, I am not convinced he's having issues with it, so I am going in to see his ped... today, actually. :) I tend to err more on the side of worrywart than on the side of...
