Excellent book! This is not just for those women pregnant or wanting to be pregnant. This is an excellent resource for traditional nutrition in general. As well as a great navigational tool to wade the waters of "food" in our modern culture. What is good to eat and why. I appreciated her being a Christian, though I differed with her on a few points. Overall, a great book I would recommend to anyone wanting a great introduction, refresher, or more information on healthy, whole, and real foods.Mar 23, 2013
A good overall look at how our food choices affect our bodies and our children. I have been reading a lot about the traditional food model, so I was not surprised at her recommendations, though they might be shocking to someone who is not familiar with Weston A Price and Nourishing Traditions.Jun 26, 2017
Pretty fascinating. So much info. Lots of things are Bad For You. And I don't think I'll be able to buy all the most nutritional foods out there. But hopefully can make some somewhat informed changes, care more, and be healthier, yay.Oct 26, 2015
So this was an interesting read.Mar 23, 2013
Much of the same nutritional information as the Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care without the Steiner influence, and written in an easy, friendly style. I did think it was a little slim, though. The first section is taken up with defining "real food" in general, then there is a section about what to eat when pregnant, a very brief section on labor, and then a bit more on breastfeeding. The last section of the book is a collection of recipes.Apr 17, 2015
I've been meaning to read this for a couple years. I really wish I would have known about all this before I had kids, would have been nice to avoid braces...May 20, 2016
Excellent read while expecting. I'm fully on board with her nutrition concepts. Lots of helpful tid bits and I also purchased her online course.Sep 24, 2015
His works! My son is beautiful and I'm sure that the things in this book helped...not just good geneticsMar 15, 2013
I have enjoyed Food Renegade's blog. Her book is an easy read with comprehensive info on the importance of pre-and- post pregnancy nutrition. There are some key recipes at the end of the book as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking to give their baby the best start possible!Dec 25, 2013
This had some great information from a unique perspective. There were some parts that I would love to have seen fleshed out more, and there were also some places where I felt the book was a bit disjointed, but overall, I enjoyed reading it.Apr 28, 2013
I don't agree with everything in here for my own mostly plant based diet, but would recommend it as a good resource for anyone interested in Weston Price nutritional theory. Or anyone interested in a healthier life/planet!Aug 30, 2015
The information was good, but the writing style was unprofessional. It isn't nearly as scientific as it could be, and isn't well organized. The two biggest positives were the recipes at the end which all look great, and the introduction that talks about an 80/20 ratio. 20% of the time, we just can't eat clean. Whether it's due to church community or being invited to others' houses for dinner. I appreciated that she wasn't so extremist that she didn't allow for wiggle room in her diet.May 13, 2013
I would actually recommend this book to anyone interested in a whole foods diet. The info is laid out well and easy to understand. The recipes are limited, so don't read this expecting a cookbook. I disagree with some of the info (ie. drinking wine while pregnant), but overall, it gives great suggestions. The ideas provided for fertility and healthy pregnancy are the same as those you would find in any clean eating guidebook. Any suggestions that are specific to pregnancy are very limited.Jan 05, 2014
Want to know how to really find out if there is MSG in your food? Curious about what oils you should avoid and why? This is the book you need. Even if you are not intending to have children, this is a priceless resource for eating well and keeping yourself and your family healthy. I go back to this book often; a resource that I reference every few months.Jan 04, 2015
This book provides high level education on what to put in your body when it comes to planning for baby.. It begins with fertility so naturally she starts there. then down the road when it comes to starter foods for baby includes breastfeeding too!Apr 26, 2013
I bought this for Harmony for her birthday, but I read it first. I have enjoyed Kristen's blog, Food Renegade, and the book reflects the sound advice, nicely reasoned and supported, that endeared me to the blog in the first place. The food photography is scrumptious and the recipe section is long enough to be helpful, but short enough to be useful, and not a shameless "padding" of the book that other authors have used to bulk up a pamphlet to book-length.

The only thing I did not like about the book was the excerpt she included from a book about hypno-birthing; it was utterly Neo Pagan. But, one paragraph aside, this is a book I'll be gifting at baby and bridal showers for a long time to come. ...moreApr 12, 2013
This book contained a lot of information I already knew because I'm deep into traditional foods already and have read Deep Nutrition which talks about epigenetics (how nutrition affects our genes and the genes of our children), so it wasn't super useful for me at this point. However, for someone new to traditional foods or real foods, it's a great resource for understanding what foods are actually good for the body and therefore good for fertility and making healthy babies.

However, for someone new to traditional foods or real foods, it's a great resource for understanding what foods are actually good for the body and therefore good for fertility and making healthy babies. She specifies foods that are particularly good for making healthy (and beautiful) babies. The information on feeding babies is good. I wish I had this info before I got pregnant with my son, and it's an easy read. Includes recipes that I'd like to try. This would be a great book to give as a gift to couples who want children since it will give them the tools they need to be healthy, fertile and have healthy babies. ...moreMar 28, 2013
Beautiful Babies is a nice short little book that offers useful advice for women who want to eat as traditionally as possible to help ensure that their babies are healthy and happy. Michaelis bases her advice on her own research, the work of Sally Fallon and others at the Weston A. Price Foundation, and the work of Dr. Cate Shanahan (whose own book, Deep Nutrition, is really worth a read).May 31, 2014
I bought this ebook for a dollar. I had been casually interested in it before, enough to price out the paperback at my local bookstore: $28. Oy.May 29, 2013
I believe this book has some parts that are helpful – such as the suggestion to use magnesium to combat morning sickness and the facts regarding where some of our food comes from and how other forms of medicine such as chiropractors and acupuncture can help with problems. However, I see this book overall as an effort to take a common fear of many mothers, the fear that they aren’t providing enough for their children and grandchildren and emotionally blackmail them into eating things they would I believe this book has some parts that are helpful – such as the suggestion to use magnesium to combat morning sickness and the facts regarding where some of our food comes from and how other forms of medicine such as chiropractors and acupuncture can help with problems. However, I see this book overall as an effort to take a common fear of many mothers, the fear that they aren’t providing enough for their children and grandchildren and emotionally blackmail them into eating things they would never consider such as liver, kefir, kombucha and raw eggs on the hope that their child will never have to wear glasses or braces. At the end of the day however, my faith lies in God and His will for my life, not the thought that if I were to simply switch to local, pastured meat, eggs, and milk (at very high costs), I can add more time to my life and more health to my family. For did not Christ Himself tell us in Matthew 6:25-34, that He cares for us more than the lilies of the field and the birds of the air? As a Christian, I would say, do the best you can to feed your family healthy foods and rest in the knowledge that God will take care of the rest. Let healthy eating be in balance with the rest of your life and not an extreme.Aug 29, 2019
The nutrition advice in this book ranges from laughably wacky to dangerously bad. Avoid this nonsense.Jul 10, 2018
Real food for us and our babies! Genius!Aug 26, 2019
Most helpful aspect was recognizing that many people are on a budget and giving prioritization of quality food based on her research. It is more or less just a distilled version of Wise Traditions. Glad I read, but not something I feel like I would go back to.Jul 05, 2018

There's some good research and information here, and a lot of helpful detail on what to eat, what to avoid, and how to prioritize. Following this plan to a T would be extremely difficult, however, for a family with two working parents and/or limited budget or access to non-industrial food.
