One of the things Lin loves most about serving families is helping parents feel informed and confident as they prepare to welcome their baby.
With more than 30 years of experience as a birth doula, lactation specialist, and Bradley Method instructor, Lin has read and recommended many helpful resources over the years. Today she’s sharing a quick review of a book that many breastfeeding mothers have found helpful.
Here are Lin’s thoughts:
"This is a well worded book with everything from basic techniques to details on nutrition. It is full of recipes to help increase supply. Ms. Simpson is uniquely qualified on these topics due to her credentials as a lactation specialist and dietician. She goes into detail about components of milk, and dispels myths about supply. The author also discusses medical and non-medical reasons for low milk supply as well as ways to use herbs and foods to correct it. There is a large section on recipes from smoothies to entrees."
