There’s Always Been Gold Among Us
It’s hard to believe that breastfeeding was once uncommon and that it was not encouraged by the medical community in 1956. This was the year that La Leche League International was formed—seven mothers created this organization so that they could provide support to women that wanted to breastfeed their babies.
Before my first child was born, I remember my lactation consultant telling me that breastmilk is like “liquid gold” for babies. I find it fascinating that the composition and quantity of breastmilk changes depending on the time of day and the age of the baby. For example, if the mom is exposed to a specific bug, the composition of the breastmilk will change to protect the baby from that specific bug!
Not only is breastmilk wonderful for the baby, breastfeeding helps the mom as well. Breastfeeding helps with weight loss and mood management. It also helps to prevent cancer.
If the medical community overlooked the amazing benefits of natural breastmilk, what are they overlooking today? If you are struggling with your health, I hope that you will not overlook natural methods of healing—God has provided us with a lot of “gold” that can help our bodies to heal and thrive! I also encourage you to find a provider that is a free thinker—a practitioner that will question the status quo for the sake of helping you find what will help your body to heal.
