Nourish and Nurture

Nutrition is important, especially for mothers! Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are eating for two and need and deserve better nourishment as they bear, birth, and breastfeed our precious children. Over 40% of the American diet consists of ultra-processed foods with poor nutritive capacity designed just to fill us up (and even overfill us) with empty calories, leading to illnesses and expensive medical treatments. This book sheds light on healthier and more nourishing food choices by discussing important nutrients lacking in our diets, PLUS breastfeeding poems and photos to nurture parents and inspire joyful and rewarding breastfeeding.Erin L.
