Heather Dessinger, aka the Mommypotamus, is one of my favorite bloggers and has written the most comprehensive book on traditional nutrition for babies available. A Nourished Baby sums up the overall topic but doesn’t convey what the book truly offers.

A Nourished Baby includes information on

• how to feed children ‘sacred foods’ to prevent and heal cavities, increase intellect, and improve moods (I can back these claims up 100% from my experience)
• how to decode your cravings while nursing
• why you should skip grains as a first food and what to feed your baby instead
• when your child’s picky eating habits could indicate a serious problem and how to fix it
• more than 30 REAL FOOD recipes good for the entire family
