Book Review
Reviewer: Tracy Abbott,

I consider myself one of the luckiest moms on earth that I got turned onto a healthy nutrient track when I was pregnant and for my post partum recovery. And I am not talking about blah, blah, blah healthy stuff...The stuff we all know...eat right, exercise, etc's...that stuff has been written about for years from banal Reader's Digest to Oprah Late At Night What I am talking about is the alternative, cutting edges stuff. Like replacing some of the lost omega-3 oils DHA and EPA which I learned awhile ago is downright stolen by the baby from the mom during pregnancy. And I made it my business to supplement my pregnancy and post pregnancy with the right nutrients so that I could avoid some of those post partum conditions that I was always hearing about. I should say "avoid" without Prozac. Well, now new moms are lucky because everything I learned from various sources and various experts are now in ONE book. This is a one stop shop for any new mom who wants to take care of her body, while taking care of her new baby. Doctors Raffelock and Rountree have really answered any question I had and any new mom who might ask "what's happening to me" or things like "Why is my skin dry?" "Why am I so forgetful? And more importantly..."How can I fix it?"
The information is invaluable. If you take the postnatal vitamin program, After Baby Boost, your vitamin/mineral/and omega 3 oil needs will be met. Personally I think Prozac or Vitamin P is being handed out way too easily and new moms have so much going on with their bodies that I would rather see nutrition be supplemented before jumping on Vitamin P. This book is a must read by all new moms!
