Common Breastfeeding Myths:

(Myth) Breastfeeding at night causes cavities in infants
(Truth) Children need to breast feed at night, it helps them sleep well, and gives their body nutrients to grow through the night, and it does not cause cavities. Cavities are caused by a deficiency of nutrients, so lack of breastfeeding will increase the odds of cavities.

(Myth) Children need to breast feed 3-9 months and then they need to wean
(Truth) Children need to breast feed for several years. Breast milk is the ideal food. Early weaning does not honor nature’s continuum, which designed children, to be children, for many years. Early weaning forces them to mature too rapidly.

(Myth) Infant formula is an acceptable alternative to breast milk
(Truth) Only homemade infant formula as described by the Weston Price Foundation, which includes raw grassfed milk, or bone broths, provides the adequate nutrients to support health and growth.

Nature designed you and your infant for a program of breastfeeding.
