Every woman has the inherent right to birth her babies in a peaceful environment with the least amount of disturbances and distractions. When a woman is allowed to follow her instincts during the labor and at delivery less possibility of complications exist. It is important for pregnant women to choose a healthcare practitioner they feel comfortable with and who will be as close to a quiet observer as possible. It is interesting to note that when an animal senses fear the birth process will stop dead in its tracks in order for the animal to heed to the fight or flight feelings. This serves as protection for the mother and the baby. A very good book recommended for all pregnant women is The Birth Book by Dr. William Sears and Martha Sears. You can explore your options for birth and the importance of choosing a holistic practitioner, such as a skilled midwife for a birth attendant.VBAC
This stands for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. We encourage women to attempt a VBAC if previous delivery was via Cesarean. Don't be fooled by scare tactics. Do your own research. Join a VBAC group or an ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) group in your area. Choose a VBAC friendly healthcare practitioner for your birth, preferably a midwife for a birth center or home delivery. I personally had a C-section with my first baby because of breech presentation. My second baby was born in a birth center and for my first vaginal delivery he weighed in at 10lbs 8 ounces! My third and fourth babies were born at home!NATURAL PARENTING
Follow your instincts! Mothers need to be with their babies and babies need their mothers. Nature is our greatest example. Babies and mothers form a symbiotic relationship from the womb that needs to be fostered and protected upon delivery of the baby. It is important to remember the concept Nine Months In, Nine Months Out. Babies are in-utero for nine months and upon delivery they need an extended period of at least 9 months where they continue to be regulated by their mother's daily rhythms. Human Babies are born completely dependent on their mothers for survival. Mothers and Babies are Healthiest when they are together. Father's play a crucial part in natural parenting. Babies love their daddy's chest to sleep on because of the rhythmic heartbeat. Father's need to make sure mom and baby get enough support during their "babymoon", the first month after birth. Both mother and father need to heed to their instincts. It is good to get help when needed, especially for first time parents. Just make sure you go to a holistic practitioner that supports natural parenting.ECOLOGICAL BREASTFEEDING
This is breastfeeding on demand. Baby nurses as often as he or she wishes both day and night. Breastfeeding is the perfect food for babies. Infants should be allowed to nurse as often as desired. This serves as protection for the health of the baby and the mother. When baby nurses he gets physical and emotional comfort as well as sensory stimulation for optimum growth. Mother's milk provides incredible immunity for baby. For mothers, breastfeeding increases the feel good hormones (Oxytocin), while suppressing ovulation, if frequency of baby at the nipple is high. This is natural family planning at its best! It should be noted that women's breasts are not fully mature until pregnancy. Breastfeeding support is essential. You can do it! Please contact me or a lactation consultant/La Leche League Leader for any breastfeeding concerns or questions! Mom and baby deserve to experience this intensely gratifying bonding time.ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION
Elimination Communication or Infant Potty Training deals with the concept that babies can communicate to their mothers their need to eliminate, just like they do when they communicate their feelings of hunger, tiredness, frustration, happiness, etc. I was a skeptic when a friend of mine introduced me to EC (Elimination Communication). I didn't practice EC with my first 2 babies because I wasn't even aware of the concept. It was my third and fourth that enjoyed the benefits of my new knowledge. Babies do not like feeling wet. If given the opportunity, they will learn to communicate their need to use the potty from birth on. When babies learn to communicate their need to use the potty it's a win/win situation for everyone. There is less impact on our environment because there are less diapers to toss out or to clean. Come join our class and learn how to get started with EC.CLOTH DIAPERS
Be aware that you have choices in diapering! Cloth diapers are not how they use to be! They are so easy and convenient! We can help you every step of the way. Be careful with the chemicals found in most disposable diapers, which are absorbed by your baby's skin. Diaper rash is virtually non-existent in babies who are cloth-diapered and who practice elimination communication at least part-time. My first and second babies suffered from diaper rash because I made the mistake of using disposable diapers! My third and fourth babies did not even have 1 diaper rash! None! A tip to avoid diaper rash is to wash your baby's bottom out with some mild soap and water and a cloth wipe. You can also wash baby's bottom right in the sink. This is the easiest and most convenient way.BABY-WEARING
All over the worlds babies have been carried by their mother in a pouch like sling or carrier for thousands of years. Baby-wearing facilitates breastfeeding due to immediacy of mother and baby. It regulates baby, stimulates breastfeeding, infant bonding, leads to better sleeping patterns for baby, better digestion, less crying and an overall happy baby and mother! It is a known fact that you hardly know there is a baby around when a mother wears her baby because there is so little crying. The best part is mom can get up and do what she needs to get done with baby in tow. Come learn the basics of baby-wearing with us.NUTRITION FOR PHYSICAL REGENERATION

When you purchase organic products you are supporting farmers who respect the earth and our soil. They are primary examples of being good stewards of the earth! When you buy conventionally grown and produced products you are supporting those that use pesticides and chemical fertilizers that hurt the farmers, the soil and ultimately your health! Every dollar you invest in organic products supports businesses that are striving to be good stewards of the earth. Warning: Be a wise consumer and don't be fooled by the organic label. Now many products are being sold as "organic", which are not good for us, our health and the environment. Always do your research! We at BM Organics try to do this for you as best as we can.ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS
Buying organic grass-fed meats, pastured eggs and poultry, raw grass-fed milk and fruits and vegetables will aid you in your journey to physical regeneration. Beware of processed food that is labeled organic! An organic label does not mean that the food will be good for your health. Stay clear from "dead" food like cookies, juice boxes, crackers, chips and all the other "organic" processed foods that are simply not nutrient dense foods! Come to our Organic Snacks class or other nutritional classes for more information. Come join our Organic Farm Fresh club. We have farm fresh foods available at the store for local pick-up and delivery (every 2 weeks). For more information please call 954.533.3282, stop by our store or email us at drweber@bmorganics.com.ORGANIC CLOTHING
Why buy organic cotton, hemp, and other natural fibers?Conventional cotton basically pollutes our soil with the biggest amount of pesticides in all crops. Not only does the earth suffer but also those that work the fields! In being a steward of the earth you simply can not support the use of toxic pesticides in conventionally grown cotton! Whenever possible, choose natural fibers that are grown, produced and manufactured in ways that are good for the environment and your health!
