The child and toddler attention spectrum: any attention is considered a reward by the psyche. Understanding this can resolve a lot of your child's behavioural issues and can also prevent attachment disorders (aka daddy issues) in their older years.

Who's in the wrong here?

Good video about how inadequate most sources of music for kids are; the toys don't include sharp notes, and most nursery rhyme videos get the melody wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DiHy5ZHzN0

There are two famous home-made formula recipes: the Weston A. Price formula, and this one, the Mt. Capra formula. This one is with goat milk instead of cows milk and recommends slightly different ingredients. Homemade formulas are the last resort, if breastmilk is not an option. I also found this useful for weaning (at around 12 months)

If you're on birth control and want to come off of it, or you've already gone through the process of ditching this incredibly toxic substance, it's invaluable to note that YOU HAVE TO DETOX. Effects can last for decades. This is not as easy as dropping the pill or injection, waiting for your cycle to return to *normal* and carrying on with your life.

There are a few things that help with this detox process and are crucial for your long-term health as a woman. You need substances that bind to excess hormones and toxins and flush them out (and NO, this does not just happen without a little extra help):

1. Psyllium husk powder (if beans are not an option). Take with lots of water afterwards.
2. Beans/ legumes - chickpeas (hummus - is a great way to incorporate this), kidney beans, lentils, and black beans.
3. Raw carrot salad (I'll post the easiest recipe below this post)
4. Zeolite (clinoptilolite)

All of this has also been instrumental in my own journey back to health and fertility and can be incorporated into any regime or nutrition plan for PCOS, endometriosis, ovulation pain, PMS, ovarian cysts etc.

Apologies for the recent slow-posting, I'm writing a long seed oils article because there needs to be one here.

In Ontario, Canada, children cannot legally be left on their own until they're 16. There have been instances of police being called on parents who let their younger children walk to nearby park by themselves. Children can also be taken away from parents by social services if they are being allowed unsupervised in public.

Vegetable Seed Oils are the Most Unhealthy Ingredient

Anyone who already has kids, is in the process of having kids, or even thinks about having children in the future needs to know about seed oils.

- Almost all baby foods contain around 10% vegetable seed oil
- All baby formulas contain seed oils through government enforcement
- Seed oils go right through a mother's breastmilk and into the baby
- Men who consume seed oils are more infertile
- Seed oils significantly delay brain development and impair cognitive function

I've also gone further with this and explained fully why this is all the case, using 5 layers; Corruption, Extraction, Oxidation, Omega 3-s and 6-s and Linoleic Acid.
