Wow, we’ve been absolutely blown away by your response to our relaunch issue. The feedback has been wonderful to hear.

Issue 23 has the theme of ‘Sweet Nothings: Nourishing Our Children.’ Nourishing means providing the things needed for health and growth.

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of nourishing is nutrition. We’ve covered that thoroughly in this issue, with articles on supporting our sensitive eaters (page 10), how our DNA affects the foods we want to eat, plus the foods we should be eating (page 8), an investigation into another side of dairy (page 42), and tips on starting your own organic veggie garden (page 70).

Nourishing is more than just nutrition. Other forms of nourishment include how we engage with our children (page 38), nourishing by touch (page 16), bonding through scent (page 30), and the nourishment of a good night’s sleep (page 52).

I recently had an experience that highlighted the importance of magazines like Nurture.

I met a woman who, upon finding out that I work for Nurture, was delighted to share her experience with the magazine.

Several years ago, after giving birth to her third child, a friend gave her some copies of Nurture. She enjoyed reading them, including an article about what to do if a baby is born with the umbilical cord around the neck.

Unbeknownst to her, her next labour was much quicker than expected. Her husband had to pull over to assist her in giving birth. The baby was born before any support could arrive, with the cord wrapped around its neck.

This reminded me that we never truly know the ripple effect of our actions as we prepare each issue of the magazine.

Enjoy the gift of Nurture. We’re delighted you’re here with us to support you on your parenting journey.
