Many of the everyday products we rely on through pregnancy and baby's
first year are actually quite simple to make at home with safe and
natural ingredients.
Making your own food, homemade skin care products, and everyday objects
allows you to choose exactly what you put on and into your body. With
help from Mary Helen Leonard, natural lifestyle writer of the blog Mary
Makes Good, you'll create handmade items for mama and baby using
sustainable materials. You pick the color. You choose the ingredients.
You make adjustments to suit your own tastes and needs. There's nothing
better than custom-made, and when you do it yourself it can actually be
affordable! The techniques you'll discover in The Handmade Mama will
make cooking, sewing, and planning your own healthy baby projects a
breeze. From ginger syrup for upset stomachs to baby powder, changing
mats, food purees, teethers, and simple toys, this book is stuffed with
useful projects, tips, and sidebars for a natural pregnancy and baby's
first year that you'll cherish.
