As a parent myself I know how important it is raising healthy kids.  When my first child was born I didn't know much about natural parenting or even breastfeeding. I had no support and decided not to breastfeed.
  My first daughter was on antibiotics several times in her first few years of life partly because I was uneducated on many issues and  I'm sure if I had breastfed her that would have also been a big help in keeping her free of infections. At that time I thought  I had to run to the doctor for every little sniffle etc. 
  By the time my second child was born I was given a great book called "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of your Doctor". This book taught a much more natural approach to parenting. Breastfeeding was highly recommended. This book was the first book I picked up every time I needed advice, if my children had a fever, a cold, a bump on the head, or you name it. 
  By this time I had many friends from church who also breastfed and so I had the support I needed.  I breastfed my second child for 12 months and my third for 14 months but looking back I wish I had nursed them even longer. Because of the wonderful benefits of  Breastfeeding  and all of my reading on natural parenting & natural remedies etc. my second and third child very rarely visited  the doctor. I can only remember one time that my daughter, my third child, was on antibiotics for a bad case of Pneumonia. She is now 12.  I can also remember on the rare occasions when I did see their pediatrician. He would ask where we've been since he hadn't seen us in so long.  That's because I didn't need to be there!  I must say though that I am thankful for the many wonderful doctors we do have,  I myself have needed  them at different times in my life. I just think as parents we can prevent many illnesses and sickness by living a healthier lifestyle with our families.
