In the News:
This site is best viewed while wearing your baby.
If you haven't scrolled down to the fine print at the bottom of our
home page, you probably missed seeing this little gem of wisdom. To
us at NFO, it's more than just a catchy little saying. Being close
to the people you love forms the very basis of attachment parenting
and a natural, connected family lifestyle. That's why NFO is
bringing you a special series of articles and reviews this month on
babywearing and slings.

New Advice from our Experts:
Question: I am in dire need of some help. I have a 4-month-old who
is covered with eczema, which the doctors are saying is allergy
related. She has been tested, and her allergies are wheat, soy, milk
and egg white. We have tried all the infant formulas available in
stores to no avail, so now I am looking for alternatives. Dr. Linda
Folden Palmer responds …
http://www.naturalfamilyonline.com/Q&A/20042nutr2.htm
Question: Now that we're homeschooling, how should we structure our
school year? Is it better to study more or less continuously with
short breaks or to follow a more traditional schedule with longer
vacations? Lara Ashmore responds …
http://www.naturalfamilyonline.com/Q&A/20042edu.htm
Question: I just got pregnant with our first baby at age 36.
Everyone tells me I'm considered "high risk" and they all talk about
extra tests, inducing labor early, C-sections and all these other
horrors. I'm perfectly healthy – I just started having babies later
than most, I guess. Am I really at such high risk of complications?
Becky Burpo responds …
http://www.naturalfamilyonline.com/Q&A/20042p&b.htm
Question: Whenever one of my children gets a splinter, a
distressing scene ensues. Either they run from the mean mommy with
the sterilized needle, or they painfully cry for both of us as I try
to be quick about removing it. There must be another way! Andrea
Candee responds …
