Legal Stuff
What are my credentials? First and foremost I am the mother of three children, I have been pregnant &/or breastfeeding since 1994, I have been an accredited La Leche League Leader since 1997 and I love to read. Some people will not respect your knowledge unless you have a string of letters after your name and some people only respect personal experience and sometimes even that is dependent on how you have gained your knowledge (books vs. real life, how many children you have, etc.) Since I do not have a string of letters after my name I guess I will not be able to make everyone happy ~ oh well. What is contained on these pages is mostly my own personal thoughts and experiences. Some topics are near and dear to my heart and have evolved not only through personal experience but also through years of extensive reading. I really hate having to say this but since there are some people who refuse to take responsibility for their choices I feel I must. Nothing on this site is intended as medical advice etc...so on and so forth. You know what is best for yourself and your family; never let anyone tell you what you should do. Listen to your heart, trust your instincts, empower yourself!
Just A Note: throughout these pages I use "he, him, & his" to refer to babies. I do this not to be sexist - but because I have two boys and partly because mother is always a she and so it helps to avoid confusion.
Please feel free to link to any of my pages. If you link to my site let me know (I may return the favor). Please respect my intellectual & artistic property - all original content on this site is copyright © 1996-2006 Natural Mothering. Thank you!
