Did your baby naturally outgrow being breastfed to sleep?
My five month old enjoys being bf to sleep. I like it too and know she’s only little once! Will she outgrow the need naturally or will I have to intervene?
What are your experiences? When did your baby outgrow this and how? Was it overnight or did you notice subtle changes?
No cry it out solutions please.
I also bf my daughter to sleep. After 7 months, I weaned her from the breast to a bottle. She still fell asleep with the bottle. By the time she was 10-11 months old, she would just be very drowsy by the time she was done with her bottle and I would quickly take the bottle from her mouth and give her a pacifier and put her in her bed while she was still slightly awake. Once she started putting herself to sleep after having a bottle, I started to wean her from the bottle. Now, at 14 months, she takes no bottles. I just give her a pacifier while she’s fully awake and tell her "sleepy, night, night" and lay her down in her crib and walk out and she puts herself to sleep. As I said, I started this process at 7 months and she’s now 14 months. It was a long 7 month process, but it worked for my baby in a natural way without any drastic changes. She has a lot of trust in me and is a very secure baby because of this. Good luck!
EDIT: I want to add that I used breastmilk in her bottles. I wanted to start weaning from the breast early because I felt that the older she got, the harder it would be and I was afraid of attachment issues…lol

What is an easy natural sleep aid?
I’m having trouble sleeping some nights. Sometimes I just cant quiet my thoughts. Any tips on some easy Natural Sleep Aids? Thanks.
Hey George.
Natural sleep aid’s are a lot more healthy for your body than artificial sleeping pills. Why? ‘Cause they’re natural, duh! Here are two easy tips for natural sleep aid.
Diet. If you eat too much sugars or stimulants such as caffeine, you’ll have trouble sleeping. Switch your diet to more leafy greens, wheats, almonds, cashews, and brewed yeasts.
Music. Whenever you have a racing mind, try and turn on some soothing and relaxing music to help you get to sleep.
These are just two simple natural sleep aids. Hope this helps!

Wonder Remedies For Curing Constipation At Home
Constipation does not come of its own. You extend the cordial invitation to it by your wrong life style habits. It is more about wrong intake of food without understanding how the human mechanism functions.
Fortunately though there are many time tested home remedies to treat constipation. But before you begin with these remedies, you are required to learn to identify the symptoms of constipation on time.
Well, constipation makes its presence felt in many parts of your body. You may feel heaviness and pain in the stomach, tongue mucus coat accompanied with loss of appetite, wind formation, fever and hypertension, drowsiness and palpitation.
“Your food is your grave,” goes the wise saying. Eating at all the times without rhyme or reason leads to constipation. So you are always advised to add lots of vegetables and salads in your diet as it is easy to digest and prevents constipation.
The other mind level causes are late night sleeping, emotional disturbance due to worry, fear and stress.
Such disturbances in your lifestyle will only hamper the inner mechanism of the body and hamper the easy passage of stools. They may stimulate the nervous system in excess and result in concentration of toxins within the body.
Next, consuming excess of tea, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol, you will only add fuel to the fire. These elements worsen the situation.
The home remedies for constipation are simple and direct. Mix 2 tspns of caster oil in the warm milk and take it before going to bed. This will help easy evacuation in the morning. This works wondrous in the severe cases.
Immediately after waking up, eat one liter of warm water and walk around. Or, alternatively drink warm water mixed with lemon juice. You can also take two spoonfuls of aloe gel twice a day. The good results will be seen soon.
The master remedy for constipation is the Ayurvedic one. It is known as Trifala Churna. It is the mixture of powders of three types of herbs in specified proportions. You need to take it along with warm water or milk at the time of going to bed.
The home remedy that you will take will lose much of its effectiveness unless you take certain preventive measures. Pay special attention to your diet. It should be easily digestible.
The emphasis is again on fruits, vegetables and salads. Don’t take stale food. Chew the food thoroughly. Unless you are hungry don’t eat. Maintain a gap of at least 4 hours between the meals. Also, it is proper time for you to consider about certain physical exercises. See that you get sound sleep and this is possible by the overall discipline that you are going to implement in your lifestyle.

Natural Cures for Depression – Herbal Remedies for Depression
Depression is a very common affliction that affects many people at one time or another in their lives. While severe depression may require a pharmaceutical approach for successful treatment, many milder cases of depression can be managed through more natural methods. If you are on a specialized diet for a medical condition, check with your doctor before making any changes.
There are a number of foods you can take that will make you feel better and omega 3 is just one of them, that can help combat depression ( see our other articles for more foods to fight the blues ) and also have a positive affect on overall health.
Most people suffering from bouts of depression, anxiety and general mood disorders that greatly affect their quality of life don’t even know that they have non-prescription options to treat their depression effectively.
One treatment that has strong evidence to support that is good as a natural way of treating depression is St John’s Wort extract. There have been over 20 controlled clinical trials of it which shows that it effectively relieves depression. In fact studies show that it works just as well as prescription antidepressants such as Paxil and Prozac and also has fewer side effects than them. So with this in mind, people should consider St John’s Wort as their first choice for treating depression naturally.
Other herbal remedies that are gaining popularity as cures for mild depression are ginkgo biloba, kava kava and black cohosh. Each of these is used for a specific type of depression. Ginkgo biloba is primarily used by people suffering from mild depression and memory loss or other dulled mental functions because it helps improve overall mental health. Kava kava is used mainly for anxiousness associated with depression because it calms a person and helps them fall asleep and have more restful sleep.
The effects of depression can only be mitigated. There is no absolute remedy for depression. Dietary changes or herbal supplements can only mitigate the effects of depression. An effective therapy program suggested by your doctor will help you understand what self-talk is and how it can used to minimize depression naturally.
There are many other natural supplements that can help you fight illnesses and feel better. For example, there is one you can grow yourself in your backyard or even in a pot on your patio and another that has been used successfully by the Chinese for at least 1,000 years
For hundreds of years, yoga has been considered an effective natural cure for depression. This is a very old Eastern world treatment, which incorporates body-stretching exercises with specific breathing exercises. The yoga postures and breathing techniques massage the body organs conditioning them so that they function as intended
