Mother’s Milk Tea, Increase Your Milk Supply
February 20, 2011 Leave a Comment
Breastfeeding & in need of some help with your milk supply?
Don’t give up yet…
Try Organic Mother’s Milk Tea 
I drank this almost every day nursing my son. I had a hard time having enough milk for my little growing boy! I really had to work to keep my milk supply up….I ate a lot (healthy of course), drink a lot of water, & drank 3-5 tea bags of Mother’s Milk Tea every day! It really did work! I noticed a difference if I didn’t drink it.
By the way it’s ok if you need to supplement with a little formula. Just cuz you can’t breastfeed 100% of the time doesn’t mean you should stop either.
Enjoy those times holding & snuggling your little ones ~ it goes too fast!

How to Lose 3 inches Off Your Post-Baby Belly in 1 Week!
December 20, 2010 1 Comment
Yes, you heard that right! 3 inches is what Shanna lost from her post-baby belly after only 1 week! She has been working hard doing the workouts I put together for her (including my Treadmill Sprints), pilates & doing a 3-day Ritual Cleanse detox. Not a day has gone by she hasn’t gotten a good sweat’n workout in.
Can you say “WOW”!
Shanna loved the Ritual Cleanse 3-day detox, that is after she got through her 1st day (thus she was feeling the “detox” effect). I love Ritual Cleanse juices! They make me feel great & will you too Why I recommend doing a Ritual Cleanse detox: it’s a great way to “Reset” your digestive system & get you off to a healthy start.
Here is Shanna’s workout plan for the week:
- Today: Kick-butt Pilates!
- Tuesday: Treadmill Sprints #2 & Kettlebell
, Plank circuit (2 x’s)
- Wednesday: Shanna get’s a “rest” day – well deserved, just keep your hand out of that cookie jar, no extra calories burned today
- Thursday & Friday: Walking at least 30 minutes (hopefully twice) & Kettlebell
- Saturday & Sunday: Elliptical 30-45 minutes & Kettlebell
- Extra Exercise: Chasing after her 2 little girls & holding the 3rd , a great arm workout
Every Monday for the next 11 weeks I’ll be posting an update on Shanna’s progress along with her workout schedule for the week.

Natural Vitality Giveaway | Freebie Friday
December 10, 2010 Leave a Comment
I hope you got a chance to read Constipation & Pregnancy part 1, if not you really should & you’ll totally understand why I’m excited to be giving away not only 1 but 2 8 oz. bottles of Peter Gillham’s Natural Vitality Natural Calm! Which means 2 of you have a chance to win a bottle of Natural Calm
Natural Calm is an anti-stress drink made of magnesium citrate, organic flavorings, & organic stevia, simple enough. Magnesium has a natural effect to help calm your body & also soften your stool.You never need to use a laxative again! I have had great success taking natural calm during my second pregnancy ( I didn’t know about it during my 1st, wish I had though). I didn’t take it every night but I did take it regularly, especially during my 3rd trimester as weight of my baby was causing a little “back-up”. It also helped me sleep when I was becoming restless some nights due to my ever growing belly. As always if you are pregnant or nursing be sure to check with your Doc first.
“Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium” – Natural Calm
I’m giving away a bottle of the Organic Sweet Lemon & a bottle of the Organic Orange. Also available is Organic Raspberry-Lemon & their Original Organic Flavor. All come in 8 oz & 16 oz bottles, the Original & Raspberry-Lemon flavors are available in single serving packs, great for travel!
Natural Calm comes in a powder form that you dissolve in warm water. I recommend taking in the evening before bed since it has a calming effect. You will want to start off taking the recommended lower dose (1/2 teaspoon) to see how your body handles it then slowly increase your dose, don’t overdue it you know where that will lead you too….
Natural Vitality has many other great products:
- Energy 28
- Kids Calm Multi
- Natural Calm PLUS Calcium
- Osteo Calm
- Natural Calm
- Organic Life Vitamins
- NutraRev!
To enter:
- Let me know you want Natural Calm
- Subscribe by email to Knocked-Up Fitness
- Like Knocked-Up Fitness on FB
- Follow Knocked-Up Fitness on Twitter
- If you’ve used Natural Calm please share how it has helped you
- The more times you comment the more likely you will win
I’ll post the winner Tuesday on the Knocked-Up Fitness FB Page, so hurry & leave your comments
