By L. Samsarah Morgan, DD CHT, CLC
Do you love babies? I’m mean are you the kind of person who, no mater where you are you are moved and amazed by babies?

Mommas – please question induction.
Those last few weeks of pregnancy are not only building the body and healthy weight of your infant; they finalize and prepare your child’s lungs. You want a baby that can take that first beautiful breath and KEEP breathing free and clear for 100 years.
