Yes I experience the same thing, I need a full eight hours or more in the winter, and about half of that in the summer. I am from Sweden and the dark winters here really invites us to sleep a lot more than during summer. When I have stayed in Asia for long periods of time I slept for about 6-7 hours per night regardless of season.

I would go with goatmilk and organic liver, some eggyolks, mix it good and strain it. Raw cream in the mix would be good. Mothers milk is about half fat, caloriewise so you should try to copy that. A baby can not swallow any solid bits for the first 4-5 months, and everything you feed should be body temperature.  If the mother is interested in getting her milk back she should definitely go for that, it is possible even after a long time, but it needs persistence. And it is also very important that the mother eats very nutritious foods while lactating otherwise the milk will be lacking in nutrients. I would use Green Pastures fermented codliver oil and butter oil in small quantities, too. I give it to my kids and it's wonderful. After being a vegetarian for 10 years, I breastfed my first son for 2 years and 3 months until his teeth where rotting in his mouth, because the milk lacked lots of nutrients. RAF and codliver oil saved his health and he is now one of the healthiest kids around.
I have to stress the fact that the baby needs constant body contact, as Suiren pointed out earlier. Specially a preemie. Skin contact and a sling is the best to get a baby to grow and develop properly. They need much more physical contact then what is normally adviced, there is no upper limit, really, and you as a Dad can give that as well as the mother. Try to find a safe way to co-sleep. We slept on big, not too soft, mattresses on the floor when the kids where small. No risk of rolling on you baby if the bed is not too soft, and no risk of falling out of bed.
My second child started to eat bits of RAF when he was about 6 months, just taking bits from our plates, usually minced meat or chicken and butter. He kept on breastfeeding for 2 and a half years.
Best wishes to you and your family!

My time in the wild involve other people, my husband, and to some extent my children but other locals from the area as well. I am not comfortable sharing because it may affect others. And I cherish that time so immensely, I somehow feel that if I analysed it much it would loose it's magic to me. But this forum feels like a safe haven so if I were to write something about that time in my life I might just post it here. But let's just say that I have experienced animals offering game and showing where to find clean water for example. I have seen people living with animals in coexistence to an extent I did not think was possible, but this were persons engaged in spiritual practises and not people living a "normal" life.

Yes!!! Thank you miker for raising the bar! This is to be my new challenge now. I have been thinking of adding bugs to a smoothie with raw eggs, cream and berries, just to have a slow start. I guess earthworms would be safe to start with? Unfortunatelly I don´t live where I can have chickens at the moment, so the question is how to know which bugs are safe to eat.
Bugs are full of omega 3, 6 and other good stuff!

Agreed!

Let us know how it went, will you?

Yes I will. 

I am going to meet Aajonus for a consultation when he is in Helsinki, Finland in July. I have been following his work for more than ten years and it is the first time I can go to see him in person, I am very excited about that. Anyone else in Europe who is going to Helsinki?
 

I know he speaks of it in some detail in the DVD that you can by from the WeWant2Live website. Rather than misquote him I can just direct you to that film. In the books, he doesn´t go into much details about it.

I agree with AV about eggs being an inferior source of protein compared with meat.

The problem with frozen meats is that you loose some of the bacteria and probably enzymes as well and it makes it harder to digest for me, and it definately loses taste. I agree with those who said you need to get a good butcher contact. That will help you immensely.

Maybe you don´t want to eat chickens, since you raise them, otherwise raw chicken with some lemon juice is a very easy beginners meal.

I did lot´s of flavoring at first because I didn´t want the transition to RAF to be hard or boring. For instance I did (and still do sometimes) a nice homemade pesto with fresh basil, garlic, raw pine nuts and raw parmesan cheese and butter, that I ate with my meat meals. Or a nice guacamole with avocados, garlic and fresh chili peppers. There is so many things you can do to treat yourself to tasty meals even on a RAF diet. Sometimes i put coconutoil, lemongrass, cream and some green chili on the meat and I pretend I am in a thai restaurant  After a while people on a RAF diet tend to need less flavor.

I did a lot of research before we had kids, and we decided against it. It just seems like really bad science, with very bad side-effects. I do iridology and the damage to the tissues is very easy to see in the iris when a kid gets the vaccines. I trace some of my difficulties of remembering and stuff, back to my own vaccinations. We live both in India and Europe and our kids are the healthiest ones around, beeing completely unvaccinated. I lie straight to the doctors faces all the time, and tell the doctors at their school that they have had there vaccines in India, and I do the same there if asked. They can´t make you give vaccines to your child, but they will surely try to persuade you. In Germany, though, you can get good antroposophical pediatrics. They don´t belive in vaccines, usually.

Does anyone know of a good distributor of clay in Europe, either on line or otherwise. Seams stupid (and expensive) to order French clay from the U.S. if you live in Europe, as I do.

Hi Turkish,
I am actually moved back to my native Sweden, but I lived in India for years, mostly in Kashmir and Goa. It´s been a struggle to find good meat, especially when travelling and whenever we stayed long in cities like Delhi etc. I have no good tips for you, I´m afraid. In Goa I liked the beef better than the mutton (that´s mostly lean goat) and above all the seafood. I used to get good eggs and okey buffalo milk, too. And a lot of coconuts. In Kashmir we get lovely mutton straight from the herdsmen. The sheep there are pasturefed all year. Very good chicken, eggs and milk, too. And sometimes riverfish like trout. The lakefish is uneatable, though.
My overall experience from the RAF of India is that it is very easy to get meat and chicken from all the butchers, but it´s rarely good quality, grass fed meats. But you have to eat, and it´s better to eat grainfed chicken raw, then fried in oil in a butter masala, that´s my motto.

It has been said; everybody is trying from own experience to help eachother on this journey.
I used to be starving all the time for at least the first year, and I still get extremely hungry sometimes. Not strange since our bodies are starved by a lifetime of crapfood. As others have mentioned, the only thing helping was eating more fat. I found butter and fresh coconut very satisfying. First I would eat as much meat and animal fat I could get down, and then I would sit and chew coconut meat, spitting out the pulp, until I felt satisfied. Sometimes for hours.
If I eat fruit I mix it with at least the double amount of butter and put it in the fridge for an hour, it is delicios, maybe the fat will prevent you from getting the symptoms from fruit. Might be worth trying, if you haven´t. A little bit of fruitsugar from a fruit mixed with much fat helps me when I feel depressed.
I have tried liverflushes and stuff before, and it has agrivated whatever problems I have had, I would not recommend it. A raw meat diet is a much better and safer way to give the body a chance to heal itself in its own speed. There is no permenent damage.
Like many others I recommend trying different foods. Who can eat beef for months and not get bored with it? Personally I love superfatty lamb or mutton, ground and cold it tastes like ice-cream to me, if it is really fatty. Chicken, if you can get good one, or sea food with some lime or lemondrops on is a treat. Stay away from doctors, they can´t possibly understand the diet you are eating.
