I love her honesty and openness, and how she uses her personal experiences to illustrate her points. It is also good plain common sense, and I wish doctors recommended that all prospective parents read this book. Rating: 5 / 5 I enjoyed Nina’s Real Food book, but I think this one is even better.

I wish that I had many copies of Real Food for Mother & Baby to give to anyone that is thinking about getting pregnant or newly pregnant. Planck breaks down the often overwhelming platter of prenatal nutrition into an easily understandable and delicious bite. She explains often murky and confusing topics such as eating fish during pregnancy with ease and offers charts that I wish midwives and doctors would copy and hand out frequently. There were a handful of points that I could have taken or left, and this is definitely not for the hard-line vegan (or maybe it is), but overall it is a book that I am happy to add to my library. <br /> <br />Planck extols the virtues of healthy fats, raw milk, and an attainable/low stress diet for Mothers at any point during the childbearing year, let alone anybody at any age. I was happily reminded of past research that I had read, and learned some new interesting tidbits as well, but mostly when I put down the book I had a warm fuzzy feeling and a huge craving for salmon on top of something drenched in butter.

I'm a "worry-wort". <br /> <br />So, people that don't worry easily, like me, should enjoy this just fine.

The book has given me new insight and has also confirmed some of my feelings about food choices.
