## Description

Real Food for Pregnancy: The Science and Wisdom of Optimal Prenatal Nutrition : Nichols, Lily: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A bible for every pregnant woman - I bought this book when trying to conceive and have kept it by my bedside ever since (my LO is now nearly 5 months old.) This book really helped me to prepare and support my body to carry my baby and to breastfeed. Not only does it cover what foods to eat to have a healthy pregnancy but it also covers what to eat to mitigate/ help with pregnancy symptoms, what to eat to support breastfeeding and what foods don't build a healthy baby - all in a scientific, non judgemental, easy to read way. This book also covers other areas of pregnancy; exercise, mental health and post partum preparation means that it really is the only companion you need to support you during your transition to motherhood. I particularly found the breastfeeding chapter useful, as I felt very prepared as to the reality of breastfeeding (anyone else felt like they were fused to the sofa in the early days?!), information which I didn't hear from anywhere else. It has also helped me to shift some of my baby weight (as well as a few stubborn pounds before I conceived too!) and the information has changed my eating habits for life. I'm just hoping Lily will publish a book on baby weaning in the next few months!
Review: Informative and well researched! - Lily’s book has been such a powerful tool for pregnancy and postpartum. I trust her perspective which comes very a highly researched and referenced background. She has practical advice in language that’s easy to understand but always based in scientific research and I so appreciate the work she has done for women. There is not enough focus on women’s health and Lily is doing her part to change that and educate us all!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not what I expected
*by J***N on 5 March 2025*

Although is a really good book for understanding what can you eat or not. I thought it would also come with quick and easy recipes, it does not! I ended up using other books more than this one. Still very good book
