When baby Ava was born to WAPF member Ana Smith,
the doctor marveled that she was one of the most alert
babies he had ever seen. Ava’s mom followed the
WAPF diet throughout her pregnancy and nursed Ava
for fourteen months. Ava started sleeping through the
night when she was four months old; now at twenty-one
months, she is still a wonderful sleeper. Her first solids
were egg yolks and avocado. After she stopped nurs-
ing, Ava switched to raw milk and still drinks it daily.
She loves eggs, raw cheese, peas with butter, liverwurst,
fresh fruit, roasted vegetables and meat with avocado.
She has a large round head with all her baby teeth and
plenty of room for her adult teeth to come in without
crowding. She has hundreds of words already and is a
beautiful example of a baby fed the Wise Traditions diet.

Healthy, breastfed four-month-old Axel (pictured at two days
old) had a healthy vaginal homebirth in Sicily. Just over seven
pounds (3.2 kg) at birth, Axel now weighs a sturdy twenty
pounds (9 kg) and is much bigger than his peers. Axel’s
parents, Gautier and Serena, are very proud of their big,
healthy boy, growing up “the way babies used to grow.” They
have known about Wise Traditions dietary principles for some
time and followed the WAPF recommendations for raising
healthy children both preconceptionally and during pregnancy.
Axel’s father suffered from many health problems in his own
childhood (which he attributes to his Cesarean birth, bottle
feeding and overvaccination), and he is committed to mak-
ing sure his son grows up healthy. Axel’s parents are grateful
for WAPF’s efforts to spread the message of Weston Price
and promote true knowedge of food, culture and nutrition.
