New Whole9 Virtual Seminar: Healthy Momma, Happy Baby

Since Melissa first announced her pregnancy in fall 2012, we've received a ton of questions about how to keep both mom and baby healthy and happy during pregnancy, post-delivery, and while breastfeeding. Over the last year, we've been compiling information based on the latest research and our own personal experience--and today we're happy to announce a trial run of a new virtual seminar geared towards women who are newly pregnant, hoping to become pregnant, or recently gave birth.

The Whole9 Baby Guide

Now that we've been able to road-test some of the resources we've been collecting these last nine months, we thought we'd share some of the books, websites, and products we relied on for parenting advice and support. Many of our friends relied on these as well (with great success), which is why we're confident enough to pass them along to you.

Pregnancy and Food Aversions

by Melissa Hartwig, who in her sixth month STILL isn’t down with the smell of bacon cooking When we say, “pregnancy and food,” most people think of the crazy cravings pregnant women report having—pickles and ice cream, salsa and M&Ms, anything and everything doused in lemon and vinegar.

by Melissa Hartwig, who knows of what she writes Going into this pregnancy, I had some, shall we say, misconceptions. (Dallas calls it “mythical thinking” on a good day, “damned delusional” on others.) I thought I’d gain maybe 15 pounds total, because I’m super fit and healthy and the baby will only weigh like 8 pounds, right? I thought all that weight would show up only in my cute little basketball belly, and nowhere else. I thought I’d still be wearing my same pre-pregnancy skinny jeans … [Read more...]

Chris Kresser: The Healthy Baby Code

Just because Melissa is pregnant doesn't automatically turn us into baby-making (or raising) experts. We've done lots of research into the subject, of course, but haven't put in the time or effort necessary to answer all of your questions about fertility, getting pregnant, having a healthy pregnancy, or raising a healthy baby. (Frankly, we're a little too busy growing a tiny human to devote 40 hours a week to research how to best create and grow a tiny human.) But we're not going to leave you … [Read more...]
