Valentina Rossi MacKenzie was born healthy and immediately took
to breastfeeding. During pregnancy and through lactation, Mom
eats plenty of fermented foods, raw milk, grass-fed organ meats,
butter and pastured eggs. Valentina continues to be robust and
good-natured as evidenced by this picture, which was taken just
after she turned five months old and had her first taste of egg yolk
with frozen grated chicken liver! She also enjoys bone broth and
has just started her fermented cod liver oil. We are so grateful for
the gift of good nutrition that we learned about from WAPF.

Emily Claire Randolph was born to parents John and Kristie
on October 2, 2014, after a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
We praise God for her life and are thankful for the ability to
eat nourishing foods that have helped all three of our children
thrive. Emily is pictured here with big brothers Cole and
Nathanael. She is perfectly healthy and beautiful!

Little angel Evangeline (Evie) was born in March 2014 to Anna and Jared.
Her birth was natural, fairly quick and drug-free. During pregnancy Mom
ate plenty of nutrient-dense foods including grass-fed butter, bone broth,
fermented veggies, raw milk, fermented cod liver oil, wild-caught fish,
pastured meats and eggs. Evie is a very calm baby, who loves to eat the
same foods that her mom ate during pregnancy. Evie also enjoys her daily
dose of fermented cod liver oil and butter oil. At eleven months Evie is
still successfully nursing. People always comment on Evie's beautiful eyes,
a well-shaped head and how observant and calm she is.

Nine-month-old baby George owes his good health to Mom's Weston Price diet, which she followed for about a year
before George was conceived. She ate a lot of beef, lamb, chicken, pork and seafood, all with skin and fat intact, and
fish, chicken and meat stocks for soups, high vitamin cod liver oil, eggs,
New Zealand butter, liver pâté, raw goat's milk, yogurt and cheese. George
eats most of these foods as well. He has cod liver oil every morning and
lots of liver and butter with his meals. Mom had a really good pregnancy
and birth. The midwife couldn't believe how thick and ropey and strong
the umbilical cord was and how it kept pumping blood through for about
forty minutes. Mom also ate the placenta, made into pâté. George is a very
strong robust baby. He was holding his head up soon after birth and began
crawling at seven months. He has a lovely temperament. He is very content
on his own or in social situations. He can occupy himself easily for an hour
without needing attention. He only cries when there is reason to cry, as
when he is hungry, tired or hurt. He has always grown proportionally well
on his growth chart and has never been sick. He has never been vaccinated.
