Weaning; When It’s Time To Let Go of Breastfeeding Your Babe

There can be a variety of reasons that a mom will orchestrate the timing of stopping breastfeeding. In some cases, she will feel that it is “just time,” or that she needs to reduce feedings in order to head back to work, or the babe is now deriving more and more nourishment from sippy cup and solids...

Trauma Bonded in Canada

Allyson McQuinn, DMH, JAOH has done it again! This is book number twenty five! Writing in a completely different genre in literature, McQuinn furnishes the reader with short story vignettes of the traumas she experienced in Canada. The first story begins in a school yard marred by violence just outside Montreal, Quebec, all the way up to being a practitioner of natural medicine in Ontario and being forced out of the province if she didn’t comply with the government condoned College of Homeopaths...

Dear ,



This month’s newsletter is dedicated to mothers, especially those interested in learning more about the functional nature of breastfeeding. Did you know that there are other reasons for nursing your babes that go even beyond nutrition and comfort? Did you know that it also helps to form their healthy sexual identity? 

Read more of the attached article to find out where our own research has taken us in the realm of breastfeeding. You’ll learn how we’ve been able to help clients restore their healthy sexual functioning and issues with obesity by attending to the fact that they were fed perfunctorily instead of with conscious care.

It may be interesting to note that I (Ally) wasn’t breastfed, and my own research took me into the realm of an experiential thirty-five-day raw milk cleanse on nothing but goat’s milk. At the time, I was curious to see if I could gain back some of what was lost from my non-nursing history. 

The second article has to do with the signs that mom and babe may experience when breastfeeding has come to a natural conclusion, as it’s time to let go of that function in a healthy way. At Arcanum, we’re all about ensuring that the relationship between mom and babe promotes healthy nutrition, nurturance, coherence, congruency, and future sexual health.

Love,

Ally and Jeff

Conscious Breastfeeding

I know this is going to sound odd, but most of us women don’t realize that breast feeding is actually a male-like function. If you think about it, the aroused nipple is actually a miniature phallus seeking to penetrate the open lips of a baby seeking healthy penetration. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of nursing a baby as they curl their fingers around your breast, or your own finger, you can watch your babe become drowsier and drowsier as they seemingly get drunk on the warmth and love exchanged between mom and babe...
