 | Real Food for Mother and Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating for Two, and Baby's First Foods
Brand: Bloomsbury USA
<DIV><DIV><B>Following the success of <I>Real Food</I>, Nina Planckâs <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby </I>explains why real food is better for woman and child. <P></P></B>Nina Planck, one of the great food activists, changed the way we view old-fashioned foods like butter with her groundbreaking <I>Real Food</I>. T hen she got pregnant. Never one to accept conventional wisdom blindly, Nina found the usual advice about pregnancy and baby food riddled with myths and misunderstandings. In <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby</I>, Nina explains why many modern ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded and why traditional foods are best. While Nina can be controversialÂher op-ed in the <I>New York Times </I>on vegan diets for infants was one of the paperâs most e-mailed articles sheâs no contrarian. Readers applaud her candor; they also trust her research and welcome her advice. <P></P>Ninaâs basic premise hasnât changedÂwhole foods are bestÂbut some of the details are surprising. Pregnant women need meat and salt, not iron supplements. Nursing will be easier if you act like the mammal you are. Delaying the introduction of certain solid foods doesnât prevent allergies. Cereals are not the best foods for tiny eaters; meat and egg yolks are better. From conception to two years, the bodyâs overwhelming needs are for quality fat and protein, not for carrots and low-fat dairy. Even as she casts a skeptical eye on the conventional wisdom, Nina is reassuring. She shows you how to keep your baby healthy on good, simple food. <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby </I>will be the new classic on eating for two.</DIV></DIV><DIV><DIV><P>ÂNina Planckâs powerful concept, Âreal food,â has changed how we think about what we eat. Now Nina turns to the nutritional needs of the developing human being. Today, one can say that Âwomb ecologyâ is the most vital aspect of human ecology. In terms of public health, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of pregnant women. Thatâs why no task is more important than to study the factorsÂparticularly nutritional factorsÂthat influence a babyâs growth and development.âÂ<B>Dr. Michel Odent, author of <I>The Farmer and the Obstetrician</I> </B></P><P>ÂNina Planckâs personal story of life with baby Julian, from preconception to tending the first tomatoes at their own Small Farm, makes compelling reading. Her no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is voice cuts through cant and euphemism like a whiff of sharp cheddar for anyone who wants the real dope. Her basic distinction between real and fake foods makes essential reading not just for mothers with babies, but for all of us who want to live and eat well.âÂ<B>Betty Fussell, author of <I>The Story of Corn</I>,<I> Raising Steaks</I>,<I> </I>and <I>My Kitchen Wars</I></B></P><P> </P><P>ÂNinaâs real food concept is critical for new parents and her advice on introducing solids is the best no-nonsense, eliminate-the-power-struggle option Iâve read in years.âÂ<B>Eric</B><B>a Lyon, author of <I>The Big Book of Birth</I> and founder of Realbirth</B></P></DIV></DIV> | *$9.53 |
