Healthy Eating for Kids: Brussels Sprouts are My Daughterâs Favorite Food (Really!)
How a tragedy helped my daughter develop healthy eating habits early on.
When it was discovered at my daughterâs 3-month check-up that she was losing weight because I actually had a very low breast milk supply, I was about as devastated as Iâd ever been in my life. âYou have to add formulaâ the doctor insisted. I refused. We hired multiple lactation consultants and tried everything to get my body to make more milk. I was taking so much fenugreek that it sent my hormones into batshit crazy mode. I couldnât sleep. I was feverish and sweating constantly. Crying all the time. And after six weeks of herbs, breast compressions, round the clock feeding and pumping, it still didnât give me the boost I needed to properly feed my daughter. Already back at work (home-based), I was completely overwhelmed.
