Mommypotamus is a personal blog written by Heather Dessinger. My purpose is to share experiences and information as I seek to improve the health of my family through a real food lifestyle. I’m also interested in alternative parenting approaches such as co-sleeping and extended breastfeeding, which I blog about.
