                                   Although Colton’s parents, Sara and Wayne Petsch, had no control over his birth mother’s
                                   diet, he was fortunate to receive the best of nutrition from his adoptive parents. They fed
                                   him donated breast milk for the first two weeks of his life, and ever since then he has been
                                   on the raw milk formula. Here pictured at eight months, he is a very healthy,
                                   happy, active, robust little boy who has slept through the night since around three months.
                                   Says Sara, “We are very happy with how well the raw milk formula has worked for him!”

                                     Antennae in tune with the world, a very alert three-month-
                                        old Ian Fergus McWilton is thriving on a combination of
                                          Mom’s rich breastmilk and homemade formula. Mom
                                    consumed raw milk, egg yolks, paté, fish eggs, red meat and
                                      cod liver oil during pregnancy and is continuing the same
                                                    nutrient-dense diet during breastfeeding.

                                          Smiling in her sleep, four-day-old Aviana Hayden
                                          Skaggs has a lot to be happy about since her
                                          mother consumed a nutrient-dense diet during
                                          pregnancy!



                                                                      Trevor Joseph Yoder, pictured at about six weeks
                                                                      old, is the twelfth child of Paul and Colleen Yoder.
                                                                      Weighing nine pounds, eleven ounces at birth, he
                                                                      got a good start on his mother’s diet of grass-
                                                                      based raw milk and other farm products. His par-
                                                                      ents have an all grass farm in Apple Creek, Ohio,
                                                                      where they do herdshares and direct market all
                                                                      their farm products directly to consumers.
                                  The parents of Oliver Emerson Corvera, pictured here at nine months, first learned about the
                                  principles of the WAPF when he was a few months old, and began implementing them right
                                  away. The family is deeply grateful for Abner Lapp’s farm in Quarryville, Pennsylvania, which
                                  provides all their raw dairy. Ollie enjoys perfect health (without vaccinations), and is unusually
                                  social, curious and interactive. He continues to eat mainly mama’s delicious breastmilk, but
                                  also enjoys raw milk, daily cod liver oil, locally raised pastured meats and eggs, organic sea-
                                  sonal produce and lacto-fermented foods! Oliver’s mother spreads the WAPF word through
                                  her holistic nutrition practice, Earth/Body Balance (www.EarthBodyBalance.com).

                                    Avery Victoria Seguin arrived right on time, healthy and strong over
                                        eight pounds. Avery’s mom and dad prepared themselves for a
                                      year before conceiving, and Mom drank plenty of raw milk every
                                    day during pregnancy. Avery has been breastfed for over two years
                                      and loves a healthy WAPF diet. She is especially in love with her
                                     “milky,” raw milk, straight from the farm. Avery is extremely happy
                                    and delightful to be around, wowing people with her wide vocabu-
                                                        lary and profoundly deep thoughts already.


                                    Eli Joseph Thompson at four months and twenty pounds. He was born to a WAPF-following
                                    mother and now has a diet of breast milk, egg yolks and high vitamin cod liver oil with butter
                                    oil. He is such a happy, healthy, and rolly-polly little man!
