I distinctly remember a battle over a spoonful of cauliflower that went down nearly ten years ago. Elijah had just started solid foods and I had no clue what I should feed him except that I should be making it myself and there should be vegetables. It was not pretty, y’all. Fast forward to our…
The US Wellness Meats giveaway is closed. I will choose a winner later on this week. When you buy 50 pounds of rolled oats and your family doesn’t want to eat soaked oatmeal every morning, then you’ve got to get creative. Enter the flour-free oatmeal pancake. These are simply rolled oats soaked overnight with a…
You guys, I did not mean to disappear for that long – but then again, does anyone? One of the places I have been is in the nearly daily milk shuffle. Mabel is such a giver and I don’t want to be a waster so its big glasses of milk, cream cheese, soft cheese, feta…
As is often the case, the lunch discussion yesterday revolved around troubleshooting homestead issues. The day’s topic was egg production, spurred on in part by my reading of Little House in the Ozarks. But also because oddly low egg-production has been an on-going issue around these parts. So we kicked around some ideas for what to…
Cortido – or curtido, depending on who you ask – has always been a ferment to me. Adding some Mexican oregano, garlic, and carrot transforms basic kraut into a Latin American-inspired tangy condiment great on just about anything. So I am not really sure if in some cultures it was fermented while in other it…
A few people have asked me exactly how I make my lacto-fermented pickles. I haven’t really shared a recipe because I don’t actually use one. I use a method instead. You see, when I first started making ferments I was totally obsessed with exact recipes. I was still in the pasteurized mentality and the thought…

Hi, I read your post on H2B@H. Do you know there are quite a lot of chocies of herbs you could take to build your milk supply up so you wouldn’t have to give the baby homemade formula?
Erin – Yep. I have taken every herb I could get my hands on, pumped around the clock, eaten every galactogogue in the book. I have a low thyroid that I am working on healing, which I suspect is the root cause of the milk supply issues. Thank you for your comment.
I read your guest post and wanted to comment about your milk supply issue. I nursed my 3 children from 12-18 months each and had supply problems with one of them. My doctor placed me on Reglan for a few weeks to help increase my supply. This medication is used for stomach problems or something not normally associated with lactation but it was successful in my friend and I.
He made several phone calls and read material about it before prescribing it but it works!
I also pumped on one side while the baby nursed on the opposite side every time or at least every other time to boost the demand.
Just a few tips that I thought you would like to hear to go back to all natural if possible.
