Breast Milk is full of anti-biotics formula doesn't have. It's super food for your baby! It will make you drop your weight faster than Charlie Sheen drops his girlfriends! It feels great - after they take that first bite out of the apple! OWWWW! and then it's really a blissful state. It's portable milk you never have to heat up and when else in your life will you be able to say, "I'm dinner!" It's relaxing and great fun to do while taking a bath with your baby. It's good for the environment and good for you. If you live in Los Angeles - think of it as saving money on food and getting a free boob job all at the same time! You go from an A cup to a D cup and you stay that way for as long as you breast feed. Just think about it ... Big busty Boobies without having to go under the knife! Yippie! And it's more fun than you can imagine when you realize you are a walking milk fountain. Get a couple of mother's together and while the men have a pissing contest, you can having a milking contest - see who can spray the farthest! My record is five feet.

Start off eating carbs ...WHAT DID SHE SAY?????????? That's right! If you try and loose weight right after you give birth by going lowfat - your body will think you are starving and so it will tell your body to STORE FAT! STORE FAT! So give your body some healthy carbs - a bowl of pasta - and your body will say - Carbs? Oh Yeah! BURN FAT! BURN FAT! AND GIVE IT TO THE BABY! And then miraculously out of your breasts will fly 500 calories a day. Yes, it's a true fact, ladies. Breast feeding will help you burn that fat right off your tooch - but you have to help them out a little with a healthy diet. SOOOOOO ... eat nuts, fruits, light veggies - spinach, carrots, baby greens, arugula, potatoes ... stay away from, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower and artichokes, heavy garlic, beans and heavily spiced food. They give the baby gas and they can make them quite upset sometimes.

Fruits are great, and especially in smoothies with protein powder. This is a great time to go visit JAMBA JUICE and make it your best friend. Be sure to take your calcium and continue your pre-natal vitamins. I don't recommend taking the doctor prescribed prenatal vitamins. They are too strong and toxic. The one's at whole foods and the one's sold at Trader Joe's are much better in my opinion and they don't make you as nauseated. As with any prenatal vitamin though - make sure you take them AFTER you have eaten something!

If you happen to have a heavy let down - this doesn't mean that you get your feelings hurt easily or that you get screwed over frequently. It means that you have sooooo much milk in your breasts that the milk comes out soooo fast it nearly drowns your child. If your baby is coughing a lot when you feed him/her or is gagging or choking - or spitting up a lot - you probably have a heavy let down. In this case - the good news is you have a lot of milk! What to do???? Start pumping, save up and give it to the milk bank. They need your extra milk! They give it to premature babies and it really does help save their lives! I bet you never thought you could be a super hero with your breasts! Just think of yourself as Breast Woman! And call the Milk Bank today to get an application and become a donor.

Don't worry - You don't have to go to San Jose They actually come to your house and pick up your milk - Even in Los Angeles!

Anywhere from 4 months old to 8 months old. It's a debate and up to you. If your baby is thriving on your breast milk and gaining good weight and is healthy why mess with it. But when his teeth start coming in, it's good to introduce your baby to things they can bite their new little teeth into - because it can't be too much fun when it's your nipple. One woman in yoga class mentioned putting a baby on a raw food diet. To this Gurmukh - who I have a hell of a lot of respect for replied - "Not a good idea." So don't run out and feed your 4 month old baby a raw egg. Not unless you'd like to then rush him or her to the emergency room when they get a bad case of salmonella poisoning. Remember that your baby is not a guinea pig and even guinea pigs wish they weren't guinea pigs.
