About this book

Author Hilary Jacobson was the first to explore so-called "lactogenic" foods and herbs in the late 1980s. In her book, "Mother Food," based on 15 years of research, she shows how these foods can be used to enhance milk production, prevent postpartum depression, increase energy, promote gentle weightloss and detox, improve the mother's and baby's immune systems, support a baby's IQ and development, prevent colic and allergy, and even improve the taste of a mother's milk. With this modern classic, Jacobson has given pregnant and breastfeeding mothers a unique dietary, herbal and health resource. Praised by mothers and professionals alike for its compassionate tone and its hard-to-find information, "Mother Food" is the essential dietary guide for pregnancy and the postpartum. Jacobson draws on traditions from around the world, summarizing their wisdom in succinct, easy-to-read language. Reviewing expert opinions and traditional systems of medicine, and offering remedies and recipes for a range of common feeding challenges, "Mother Food" is both a practical go-to and how-to. Recommended by lactation consultants and approved by the La Leche League International Book Evaluation Committee, "Mother Food: A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic Foods and Herbs - Build Milk Supply, Boost Immunity, Lift Depression, Detox, Lose Weight, Optimize a Baby's IQ, and Reduce Colic and Allergies" has become a favorite of mothers who want to optimize both their milk and milk production, while contributing to their own and their baby's best health.
