Baby-led feeding is an approach to solid food introduction that allows baby to explore and discover whole food on their own with parental supervision.
With baby-led feeding you give baby whole foods or foods cut into hand size spears or slices so that baby learns what is a comfortable and manageable bit size for them. This helps develop baby’s taste and texture sensations to natural food, and helps create their independence at the dinner table as well. Read More…
I, Leigh Anne DuChene, have researched, taught, and coached on holistic or natural baby-led weaning or baby-led feeding for 3 years now; through classes, online support, and one-on-one coaching.

Well, it has been couple of months since any activity here at NTNF. That is primarily due to the fact that I had my second baby on November 27, 2009, the day after Thanksgiving, and have been on maternity leave and adjusting to life as mommy to two little boys!
I did not receive any nominations for the Holiday Love family support program during the month of November. So, the Holiday of Love program did not get launched like I would have liked for it to of been. But there is always THIS year, with lots of pre-planning to make it a huge success!
So, now that the holidays are behind us, and I am adjusting well to life after baby #2, NTNF will be back in FULL swing with monthly and weekly posts of upcoming area events, information, business connections, etc., as well as, informative articles pertaining to natural family living.
We are doing a 2 month Feature Promotional Giveaway. Details laid out in next post!
It is good to be back and I hope you all are looking forward to a FANTASTIC 2010!
Peace and Blessings,
Leigh Anne DuChene

Placenta Encapsulation is a new and rapidly growing postpartum care profession. Through the extensive efforts of Jodi Selander, founder of Placenta Benefits.info (PBi), and her network of Placenta Encapsulation Specialist throughout the United States placenta encapsulation is becoming a well known and highly sought after postpartum care service. First looked at as an on-the-fringe trend, as placental use is not as common in our country as it is in other countries, placenta encapsulation is now being brought to the forefront of postpartum care as a well established and scientifically researched and sound practice that has enormous benefits to a postpartum mother during postpartum recovery. Placenta Encapsulation Specialists are self-employed and able to set their own clientele load, hours of work, and fees.
Leigh Anne DuChene, is the DFW, Texas area’s only Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and is now the area’s Placenta Encapsulation Specialist Manager, as PBi and Leigh Anne DuChene, of DuChene Natural Health Center, actively seek out interested women for Placenta Encapsulation Specialist Training in the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex area and other areas of Texas, as well.
As a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist you are a postpartum wellness resource to your clients. You provide a service, answer questions about postpartum healing, wellness, and care, and you refer them to appropriate resources for postpartum care when necessary. Postpartum care issues can include, but are not limited to, postpartum depression issues, physical recovery, emotional recovery, postpartum nutrition, lactation or breastfeeding, lactation nutrition, and various other postpartum issues. You are not expected to have all the answers, you are instead the postpartum mother’s resource to connect her with those who can answer her questions or assist her in her needs.
The Placenta Training Course through PBi teaches you proper preparation methods according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, educates you on the benefits of placental use, teaches you how to answer questions about placental use, educates you on the OSHA, EPA, and FDA safety protocols, requires that you get your food safety & handlers training for your area, and teaches you through hands-on training how to prepare the placenta for mother safely, properly, and legally.
If you are interested in becoming a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, or have questions about the training or service, please contact Leigh Anne DuChene at LeighAnne@DuCheneNaturalHealth.com.
