Baby
Matters
is a groundbreaking new book that only a mother with both rigorous
scientific training and an extensive alternative health practice
could have assembled. Dr. Linda Palmer
uncovers the hidden consequences of parenting choices, both physiological
and psychological, and filters out what is not valid or substantiated.
Baby
Matters is not just another rehash of conventional advice.
Neither is it an extremist's cry. It contains solid, never before
published scientific knowledge in easy-to-digest language for the
interested new parent.

Dr.
Palmer addresses current issues that receive far too little
attention or scientific discussion elsewhere. She gives parents
the power to make better decisions about baby care, by unraveling
the newest research about hormones and bonding, breastfeeding, the
big new problems with antibiotics for treating ear infections (and
why they are usually inappropriate anyway), and the real causes
of ear infections, colic, GERD, reflux, allergy-sensitivity
reactions, and SIDS. Furthermore,
she describes exactly how breastfeeding and formula-feeding can
produce vastly different mental and physical health outcomes for
baby. Finally, Dr. Palmer explains that cow's milk consumption,
beginning with formula, is strongly associated with diabetes, lower
intelligence, ADHD, early puberty,
osteoporosis, and eventually
reproductive organ cancers.
"...
Dr. Linda Palmer's rebuttals of current mainstream child-rearing trends
(artificial infant food, cow's milk consumption) do not stop at their
negative impact on infants but rather create a compelling and well-cited
argument for their links with lifelong negative complications."
