Dr. Linda Folden Palmer left her 11-year nutrition-oriented chiropractic practice after the health challenges of her newborn son overwhelmed her. Perplexed by the lack of appropriate advice from pediatric sources, her extensive literature research led to her first book, Baby Matters, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby. After an IPPY Award-winning updated 2nd edition, the 3rd updated edition was released as The Baby Bond. Palmer also co-authored What Your Pediatrician Doesn’t Know Can Hurt Your Child with pediatrician Susan Markel, MD.
