official bio

Linda Folden Palmer, DC, writes, consults and teaches about lactation, infant nutrition and natural parenting choices. She left her 11-year nutrition-oriented practice after the health challenges of her newborn son overwhelmed her. Perplexed by the lack of appropriate advice from pediatric sources, her extensive literature research led to her writing of "Baby Matters, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby," followed by "The BABY BOND." Palmer remains an active advocate of the natural parenting principles she supports, often addressing the motives and actions of big industries.
