Karen Gurwitz, Jen Hoy

Clarkson Potter, 2007

Truly a book that supports a pregnant woman
Although cooking has never been my strength being pregnant I question twice what I eat I looked for something that will give me easy recipes I can try making myself. I never imagined that there would be a cook book that will offer me easy recipes that I can adjust to how I feel that day, truly genius! I wish this book was available when I was pregnant with my first daughter. The recipes are easy ... 		  
  







  
  
Superimmunity for Kids : What to Feed Your Children to Keep Them Healthy Now, and Prevent Disease in Their ...22 reviews
Leo Galland, Dian Dincin Buchman

Dell, 1989

A Must-Read for Moms
I found two things to be most helpful about this book: 1) the information on the essential fatty acids that young children need in their diets from flax oil, evening primrose, cod liver oil, etc, especially if they have allergies; and 2) the specific doses of certain vitamins and minerals for each age group. My son's allergies to milk and wheat are gone, in part, I believe because I ... 		  
  







  
  
Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified: An Essential Guide for Everyone Pumping Insulin (Marlowe Diabetes Library)7 reviews
Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer

Da Capo Press, 2002

Great for a new pumper or someone who cares about one
I've been a Type 1 (IDDM) diabetic for over 15 years. I was lucky in the sense that I didn't get it until college, so I didn't have to deal with it as a child. However, diabetes at any age is tough. The insulin dependent kind in particular is tough because no amount of exercise or weight loss is going to reverse it. However, there is one thing that can come close, insulin pump therapy. ... 		  
  







  
  
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A Guide for Families and Communities6 reviews
Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth

Brookes Publishing Company, 1997

Best and most thorough guide to fetal alcohol syndrome
After reading Dr. Streissguth's book on fetal alcohol syndrome, I feel this book should be given to every parent or caretaker who receives this diagnosis about their child. This is the most thorough book I have found on this subject. Dr. Streissguth's knowledge in this area is so extensive and her book offers a step by step approach and guidelines on what you will need to know to in raising ... 		  
  







  
  
A Woman Doctor's Guide to Miscarriage: Essential Facts and Up-To-The Minute Information on Coping With ...7 reviews
Lynn Friedman, Irene Daria

Hyperion Books, 1996

Helped me carry my baby to term
This book combined with Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler helped me prevent a third miscarriage and carry my beautiful little girl to term. What a shame it is out of print. Perhaps there is similar information in another book. The way it helped me was specifically the information regarding treatment options for low progesterone. Using the Weschler book, I was able to diagnose ... 		  
  







  
  
The Politics of Breastfeeding (Issues in Women's Health)5 reviews
Gabrielle Palmer

New York University Press, 1993

Wonderfully educational, painfully true.
As a breastfeeding advocate myself, I wish that all young men and women were required to read this in high school, before parnethood. This book lets the reader see the conection between money, big business, and formula marketing. The book educates on the vast differences between artifical feeding and human milk, differences that the general population is unaware of. If you want to get ...

Catherine Jones

Da Capo Press, 2003

BEST COOKBOOK EVER - could only be better if it was twice as long!
I'm not pregnant, and neither is anyone in my family, but this is simply the BEST cookbook I've ever purchased. My husband and I are living with my fifty year old parents and my teenage sisters, and I am the only one in the family who likes to eat healthy. I've been cooking healthy recipes from other cookbooks, only to get grumpy looks and half-eaten portions from my family members. Along ...

Wiley, 2002

Fantastic Idea
Herrera's workouts are a great way to stay in shape while pregnant, and a great way to share the experience of pregnancy with your partner in a new way. My husband and I found this book after I had been feeling tired and unhealthy because I was no longer able to continue my usual, non-pregnant workout. We started using Herrera's book guidelines for excercising together and things have been ...

Simon & Schuster, 1983

You can prevent ECLAMPSIA, HELLP, PIH, etc.
What your OB/GYN may not know! My parents wrote this and other books in the 60's and 70's based on my father's (Dr. Thomas H. Brewer, Tulane University School of Medicine '51) experience as an OB/GYN and medical researcher on pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, PIH, IUGR, etc. He terms this condition Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy (MTLP). In his clinic in one of the poorest counties ...

I'm Pregnant! Now What Do I Eat?3 reviews
Hope Ricciotti, Vincent Connelly, ...

DK ADULT, 2007

Great book for prego women! Essential information in here!
I bought this book after listening to the author on a podcast show for pregnant women. Even tho I had found a lot of information about what to eat when I'm pregnant (and what NOT to eat), this book cut thru the confusion, organized the information and made clear to me what was important. I also learned from this book that being pregnant does NOT mean that I am eating for two, and in fact, ... 		  
  







  
  
Growing Up (Usborne Facts of Life)3 reviews
Susan Meredith

Edc Pub, 1986

Useful & Readable
I needed a book that my nine-year-old daughter and I could use together as she enters adolescence: not too complicated, not too simple, but clear and honest in ways with which we both were comfortable. I read six other similar books before choosing Growing Up, which was the best by far. It does just what we needed it to do without getting past her level of maturity and readiness. The ...

Dr. Ruth Talks To Kids: Where You Came From, How Your Body Changes, and What Sex Is All About2 reviews
Dr. Ruth Westheimer

Aladdin, 1998

This is a great book.
When my daughter was about 10 I realized that my technique of answering questions she asked but not going into more detail than she asked about no longer worked. She suddenly knew just enough to be embarrassed to ask about anything! She really hated it if I brought The Subject (sex) up, so thinking that she just didn't want to associate The Subject with her mother (I can certainly understand ...

Very rewarding and educational
I really enjoyed this book. I had to do a special project on aromatherapy and I used this book as one of the 5 books that I had to read. It was easy to read and enjoyable and had alot of information on pregnancy and childbearing. I would recommend this book highly. This is a book that I will go back to over and over 		  
  







  
  
Bouncing Back After Baby (Cold Spring Press Fitness)3 reviews
Becky Youman

Cold Spring Press, 2004

Excellent New Mom Resource
This book is great in a lot of ways. I really like how it goes through the entire year, not just a few months. I also like how it addresses exercise, nutrition and mental health. As a new mom, there are definitely some weeks that my mental health needs a boost -- this book delivers a year's worth of pointers. You can tell the author just went through this experience herself.
