             Keenan Matthew Lindsay, the happy healthy baby of
             Jason Lindsay and Julianne Boyajian, weighed 20 pounds
             at six months! Due to Mom’s low milk supply, Keenan
             has been on the raw milk baby formula since he was four
             and a half weeks old. Mom followed the Weston A. Price
             pregnancy diet consuming liberal amounts of butter, eggs,
             animal protein and fat, and other nutrient-dense foods.
             When Keenan was born all the medical staff were
             absolutely amazed at how alert and strong he was!
