The first few weeks and months after a baby's birth
can be a wonderful and confusing time. While trying
to discover the best ways to care for her child, new
and even experienced mothers often neglect their own
health. However, it is essential that mothers pay as
much attention to their own wellness as they pay to
their baby's health and happiness.
In this book Robin Lim guides mothers through the
best methods of mother and baby postpartum care,
including parental nurturing, breastfeeding, the
role of the father, nutrition, and early sensory
education.
Focusing on natural and wholesome practices, After
The Baby's Birth is a sensitive, practical guide to
post-pregnancy health. It includes touching personal
stories based on real-life experiences of mothers, a
collection of delicious recipes formulated
especially for postpartum women, plus a special
chapter dedicated to the ancient practice of
Ayurvedic medicine. |
Between the bizarre food cravings and the nausea,
preparing balanced meals is often the last thing on
your mind when you're pregnant. In Eating For Two,
childcare and women's-wellness expert Robin Lim
presents more than 150 easy-to-prepare recipes,
using wholesome and simple ingredients for achieving
optimal health and avoiding discomforting side
effects during pregnancy.
With a focus on plentiful options for nutritious and
satisfying meals, she also provides information to
determine which foods deliver sufficient protein,
calcium, iron, and other necessary nutrients, to
ensure a healthy start for the new baby.
An essential cookbook and resource for mothers-to-be
and breastfeeding moms, Eating For Two is like
having a wise-woman healer, supportive friend, and
personal nutritionist by your side.Eating wisely can
be the best prevention for the most common
pregnancy-related complaints as well as healthy
fetal development.
The book includes
a Three-Day Food Diary for accurately determining
your daily vitamin and mineral intake, and
recommends preventative remedies to help stave off
nausea, insomnia, joint swelling, and heartburn.
Plus, it offers advice on foods to avoid during
pregnancy, as well as important information on
genetically engineered foods. |
This book explores the important but
culturally-forgotten practice of delaying cutting
the umbilical cord after birth. In it, Lim
illustrates the power of the placenta to deliver
nutrients, stem cells, antibodies, and even 'extra'
intelligence to the baby, for several hours (or
more) after birth.

"Robin
Lim is a woman of staggering energy, passion,
goodness and talent. Her poems take all four
of those traits, and weave them into wonder."
-Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
"Robin
Lim is one of my heroes. Her dedication to
mothers, babies and the health of the planet
family, is matched only by her love of
writing. In these pages you will feel the raw
emotion, passion, humor, hope and tenacity
that fuels this great woman warrior. I am
certain that you too will discover that the
world is a brighter place with her in it."
-Michael Franti
"Robin Lim's
poems are born from the same womb as her
devotion to midwifery. A womb that treasures
each life, even faced with its darkest
questions. She enters the world of words and
of birth with equal humility, purpose, and a
profound care for humanity. Her poetic images
are clear and trenchant and they aim for the
soul. Her language rises from a notable
forthrightness, and ripens with a crone's
articulation. We recognize: Yes, that is who
we are. Yes, that is what frightens us. Yes,
that is what leads us toward love. With these
poems, and with her devotion to life, Lim is
wise-on our behalf." -Margo Berdeshevsky
