I mean, we do believe in sin, but there isn't much focus on a sinful nature, but rather a divine nature. It seems like all that sinful nature talk would really bring people down! I suppose it is meant to induce humility?
I didn't quite understand your last sentence. What is it that appears in parenting books? The sinful nature thing?

I am glad you hear you are keeping your heart open. In my faith, we are taught that learning truth begins with desire. You have to nurture that desire and eventually study things out and pray, but as long as you have desire to know truth, you should eventually find it. In James 1:5 it states: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given." One of my favorite scriptures :)

You are right about the lack of support. I see it everywhere...formula feeders that shrug it off, and lactivists that just can't accept that you are done or that you've done everything reasonably (and perhaps even unreasonably) possible. Sometimes it just reaches a point where it is no longer about saving breastfeeding, but rather about switching your mentality to one that is most healthful to you and your children. And sometimes the milk really does just run out.
You mentioned some formula options that from my limited experience sound like good ones, and I love that you added probiotics and omega-3 supplements (cod liver oil is the best! especially fermented cod liver oil!). When you switch to formula, I believe the solids play a much greater role in a baby's development. I've started recommending a traditional foods approach (such as outlined by the Weston A Price Foundation) or a GAPS approach (for those with digestive issues) for introducing solids to babies. Both diets are nutrient-dense and easily digestible.
Hugs to you Paige. Glad you are feeling a bit better.

I want to try again, though, especially after reading this. So you can just store the grains in a container without any sugar water to feed them? Milk kefir grains have to be stored in milk, so that's interesting.
Good article. Seriously I think I got more info out of this than anything else I've read on water kefir.
