Ten years ago, Nina Planck changed the way we think about what we eat with the groundbreaking Real Food. And when Nina became pregnant, she took the same hard look at the nutritional advice for pregnancy and newborns, finding a tangle of often contradictory guidelines that seemed at odds with her own common sense. In Real Food for Mother and Baby, Nina explains why some commonly held ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded--and why real food is good for growing minds and bodies. While her general concept isn't surprising, some of the details might be. For expecting mothers and babies up to two years old, the body's overwhelming requirements are fat and protein, not vegetables and low-fat dairy--which is why, for example, cereals aren't right for babies, but meat and egg yolks are excellent. Nina shares tips and advice like a trusted friend, and in this updated edition, her afterword presents the latest findings and some newly won wisdom from watching her three children grow on real food.

Nourished Beginnings Baby Food is a natural fit for the traditional, whole-food diet and way of life made popular by the Weston A. Price Foundation and the associated book Nourishing Traditions. Renee Kohley, founder of Raising Generation Nourished and a mother who has raised healthy three daughters with this approach, packs 100 nutrient-dense recipes for babies of all ages into the book, along with tips to help readers be successful. To introduce your baby to solids gently, try a soft-boiled pasteurized egg yolk with nutrient-dense grated liver and sea salt, or pureed peas with nurturing homemade bone broth and grass-fed butter or steamed berries with coconut butter. As your baby gets older, you can introduce more diverse flavors and textures like Roasted Root Vegetable Soup, Grain-Free Breakfast Biscuit or Grassfed Beef Stew with Marrow. To transition into toddlerhood and a full, well-rounded diet, you can begin to incorporate grains, nuts, legumes and natural sweeteners with dishes like Soaked Quinoa Granola, Asian Stir Fry with Rice and even an occasional treat such as The Perfect First Birthday Cupcake. Most of the recipes serve baby and the whole family, so you can nourish more hungry mouths faster, easier and even cheaper. With the recipes for this traditional, whole-foods approach, your child will develop an adventurous palate and good eating habits to carry them through life healthfully.
