Real Food For Mother And Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating For Two, And Baby's First Foods (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

I thought that the most interesting parts of this book came in the section on nursing. Planck includes so many fascinating facts about the benefits of nursing and the ways in which breast milk is "nature's perfect food." I always knew that science had long since proven its benefits, but I learned so much about the specific ways that it benefits infants (and their nursing mothers). Planck presents this info in an engaging way by using her own experience with her son as the narrative that runs through this section of the book, which creates a more tangible way for readers to see these benefits in action. Real Food for Mother and Baby was one of those life-changing books for me. Of course I had seen "organic" food at Wegman's and heard my mid-wife tell me to avoid processed foods, but I didn't really get it. "Isn't all food organic?" I scoffed. This book explained all in a down-to-earth, sensible, intentionally not-shoving-it-down-your-throat sort of way. I couldn't read it fast enough, and by the end, I couldn't wait to clean out my cupboards and head to the farmers' market. Since then I've started making better food choices, and I was able to lose all of my pregnancy weight in a little less than a year without ever feeling like I was on a diet--because I wasn't. Real food happens to be both delicious and nutritious. Yes. Read this book.
