Black Sheep Motherhood

Take one health-conscious couple, add a budding Paleo diet and lifestyle, mix in a first pregnancy, stir and stand back when the medical profession weighs in. Black Sheep Motherhood blows apart the prevailing view that babies and breastfeeding mothers can't survive and thrive following a Paleo diet. In this detailed memoir you'll learn about one woman's journey through pregnancy, labour, delivery, the first 16 months of motherhood and a paleo diet while navigating among medical professionals who urged grains and dairy despite the documented Western epidemic of obesity in adults and children. Packed with nutritional and health-related facts and tidbits, it offers the kind of information anyone interested in eating healthy, healthy living, and the benefits of both, needs to read. This book will empower the reader to make healthier food choices, encourage motherly intuition and encourage the reader to believe in motherhood outside of outdated and unhealthy standards. It offers helpful advice on how to "save" your motherhood, to keep it for yourself, for the benefit of your motherhood and your child.
