Grace, pictured at eight months old, is still mostly breastfed but enjoys snacks of fermented veggies, kefir made from raw grass-fed cows milk, bone broth, raw goat cheese, and fermented cod liver oil. Grace was built on a WAP diet. Her mom’s diet during pregnancy focused on many local and traditional foods, including, raw grass-fed milk, bone broths, butter made from grass-fed cream, lots of pastured eggs, fermented veggies, sprouted and freshly ground grains, and, of course, fermented cod liver oil. Grace has been a healthy, robust, talkative, bright baby since birth.

We have a beautiful vibrant Price baby to share with the journal. Elizabeth Pearl is the first child of chapter leaders Brandon and Joy of East Troy, Wisconsin. She was born on September 7th, 2012 weighing almost eight pounds. Both mom and dad had been eating a traditional diet for several years and are thrilled with how healthy and good-natured their sweet little daughter is. Elizabeth is bright, precocious and smiles all the time. She took to breastfeeding naturally and was sleeping through the night within the first two months. Proud papa keeps pictures of her at his acupuncture clinic to show patients how proper diet allows for the full genetic expression, both physically and mentally, of all humankind.

Arabella Sage, born April 8, 2012, is the daughter of chapter leader Lydia (Santa Ynez Valley, California) and Scott. Mom and dad followed mostly WAPF for years before conception; during her morning sickness-free pregnancy, mom chugged pints of raw milk and ate raw egg yolks daily. Due to a devastating lack of breastmilk, Bella started WAPF raw milk formula at two weeks and has thrived, rising from the 7th percentile to the 95th in just six months! She has never been sick or vaccinated. The doctor says “Keep doing what you are doing!” Which we are—with the addition of desiccated liver to the formula at seven months, her daily sippy cup of “chicken juice” (chicken stock), salmon eggs, homemade raw yogurt and some meats and veggies cooked in stock. Thank you WAPF for our daughter’s beautiful health!

Nathanael was born to WAPF parents John and Kristie Randolph in May of 2012 after a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Just like his big brother Cole, Nate has excellent health and is a joy to be around. We are so thankful to God for these gifts and to the WAP Foundation for helping us learn how to nourish our babies!

Arrow Walker Johansen, born March 22, 2012, is the brightest star in his family’s universe. Mom, Naomi Marks, MD, consumed cod liver oil and x-factor butter oil, raw milk, bone broth soup, grass-fed meat, chicken liver paté and salmon roe during her pregnancy. Now, these are his favorite foods. He will eat as many fish eggs as you give him. That and sauerkraut juice are his most favorite foods. He loves virtually everybody and reaches out to the world in total joy.

Well spaced Luke Martin , five years old, and Jyles Joseph, eighteen months old, are happy, healthy and very social. They are both great eaters! Mom loves spending her days brewing up nutrient-dense food and Dad loves eating it. The boys are sharp, athletic and are a pride and joy to their parents. Their parents Kim and Martin Aronsen write, “We are eternally grateful to the WAPF for all we have learned about health and traditional food. Our boys will be forever blessed because of this information. Thank you!”

Happy, robust Alistair is the product of a nutrient-dense pregnancy diet, continued through lactation. Mom’s diet included raw milk, egg yolks, pâté and cod liver oil. Alistair gained weight beautifully on his mother’s rich breast milk. He has rosy skin and rarely cries. At age seven months, he is now enjoying liver and egg yolk.

Isabella started smiling at two days old. She was born at home over eight pounds, twenty inches long to first-time parents Andrew and Rashel (Palestine, Texas Chapter Leader). Isabella’s parents followed WAPF diet principles for two years before conception. Isabella was exclusively breastfed until six months and her first foods were egg yolk, liver, broth and raw milk. She started sleeping eight hours a night at four weeks and at three months was sleeping twelve hours. At twenty months she self-weaned from the breast; her favorite foods are now liver, eggs, raw milk, cod liver oil, sauerkraut, kefir, sourdough, ice cream, pastured meats and wild fish. Isabella, shown here at sixteen months, is the picture of health despite never stepping foot in a doctor’s office. Thank you WAPF for sharing the wise traditions of a nutrient-dense diet for optimum health and vitality!

East Troy Area, Wisconsin Chapter Leaders Brandon and Joy celebrate the good health of their daughter Elizabeth Pearl. “We wanted to personally thank you for the health and vibrancy of our little one, now six months old. Through exposure to the work of WAPF, Miss Elizabeth Pearl will have a healthy and bright future!”

Both Owen (age three) and Henry Drake (age six) were raised on our raw milk goat formula because mom couldn’t produce enough milk. Both have amazingly strong teeth and rarely get sick. Mom got her own goats because she couldn’t find raw goat’s milk. Owen’s and Henry’s parents now raise a very high portion of their food with their own goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits and, of course, a garden!

Makena Grace takes her first steps. During her pregnancy, Makena Grace’s mother Celeste ate organic produce and meats, pastured eggs, raw goat and cow milk, raw yogurt, kombucha, and mostly gluten-free grains with ox tail, bone broths and plenty of marrow. Supplementation included some fermented cod liver oil, high vitamin butter oil and tuna oil from Standard Process. Makena Grace loves her cod liver oil and has been taking it since six months of age.

Beautiful Anna was born normally (VBAC) on June 6, 2004. She has had no immunizations. When her mother had trouble lactating, the nurses immediately wanted to start Anna on formula. But as soon as her parents got home, they put her on our raw milk baby formula. At four months, she got raw, pasture-fed egg yolk in her bottle. She’s never been to the hospital and has rarely been sick.

Tobin, pictured here at five months, was born seven pounds, thirteen ounces, on May 26, 2013 to parents David and Anne. Since day one, when someone first meets Tobin, they inevitably comment on his beautiful, healthy coloring, cheerful, pleasant demeanor, and robust size (twenty-one pounds and twenty-seven inches at five months). During pregnancy, mom followed the full GAPS diet, and she continues to follow the WAPF guidelines for healthy eating while breastfeeding. We are so grateful to God for the knowledge and wisdom we have gained through the Weston A. Price Foundation.

Fourteen-month-old WAPF baby, Asa, pets Oprah Henfry at the Wise Traditions conference while mother Ashby and backyard chicken expert Pat Foreman look on. Asa was born at home as was his brother Finneaus, now seven years old. Asa was a full two pounds heavier at eight and one-half pounds after mom embraced the WAPF diet for seven years. His mother reports that Asa is a gentle soul, adores animals and all creatures, and fills their heart and house with joy! He holds especially good eye contact and has a wonderful blend of playfulness and focus. Asa drinks four gallons of raw milk a week (with his family!), doesn’t watch TV, and hikes in his moccasins around his home in the woods of the north Georgia mountains. Asa’s parents, Ashby and Chad, are Rolf practitioners, operate two studios, and are now homeschooling so that Asa and his big brother can nurture the deepest roots possible.

Kateri Victoria was born October 2011 to Missouri WAPF chapter leaders Heather and Joel. She was born at home after a wonderful five-hour labor. She weighed a hearty nine pounds, six ounces at birth! During pregnancy, Heather ate lots of nourishing foods such as bone broth, pastured meats, raw liver, eggs, butter, raw milk, seafood (including dried fish eggs), and organic fruits and vegetables. In the postpartum days, she recovered with the help of pig feet broth, a traditional postpartum elixir. Now two years old, Kateri enjoys all the same foods mom did during pregnancy—especially fermented cod liver oil! She loves meats (including homemade liverwurst), stews, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. She has a robust appetite and could never be called a picky eater. Kateri’s sisters, Lucia and Mary Helen, love her very much and they are all grateful to God for this newest addition to the family!

Her parents get a lot of compliments for her behavior and composure. Her parents have been on the nutrient-dense WAPF diet for some years and totally credit their family health to this way of eating. Free-range eggs, bone broths, lard, coconut oil, kefir, kombucha, plenty of good meats, raw goats milk, organic vegetables and cod liver oil continue to build Stella through mom’s milk and recently she also started to enjoy egg yolks and meat broths. Her whole family adores little Stella and all are so grateful for the blessing that she is. A thousand thank-yous to all at the Weston A. Price Foundation!

Eli Wentworth was almost eight pounds at birth. He was conceived after mom and dad both adopted a traditional, nutrient-dense diet. Mom continued this way of eating throughout pregnancy, and continues as she breastfeeds her little guy.

Says Claudia: “My daughter promised me a beautiful grandchild because she had learned that eating well is what produces the full expression of our inherent beauty.”

Maverick is pictured here at nine months old. He has been a dream baby. Recently he flew with his family on five flights, in twenty-four hours. He did not make a peep through the whole trip! Everyone who meets him comments on how happy, easy-going, and coordinated he is. He was born at home, following an easy labor, weighing almost nine pounds. His mom didn’t have a fantastic milk supply for Maverick’s three older siblings but thanks to a nourishing traditional diet, and Armour thyroid, she is overflowing now!

Charlie Anne at five months enjoying her egg yolk with grated raw liver. Charlie’s mom has followed WAPF guidelines for years and is grateful for another delightfully good-natured, happy, healthy baby.

The parents of Glenn Maximillian Barritt are constantly complimented on his bright eyes and strong body. They credit his robust good health to the good food his mama ate and passed on to him in utero and now via breastfeeding. Thank you to the WAPF community for the knowledge and support thus far.

This is Grace Maren—the surprise caboose baby that benefitted from the sound Weston Price principles her mamma discovered after she delivered her other children and struggled so. Grace’s mom enjoyed less morning sickness, as well as good health and spirits as she ate a nourishing pregnancy diet of eggs and raw dairy (lots of dairy!), as well as fresh fruits and veggies from their family’s backyard homestead. Grace came out strong for mamma’s first home-and-water birth at twelve pounds six ounces, with a wide palate, strong bones and muscles as well as a sweet, sweet disposition. Even with such a big baby, mamma didn’t tear a bit—can anyone say bone broth?! Many people ask whether mamma had gestational diabetes with a baby that large but mamma smiles and says, “Here, read this book; it’s called Nourishing Traditions. Let me know if you have questions.” Grace may have been a surprise addition to the family but they couldn’t imagine life without her—thank God for sweet surprises!

Pictured on his first birthday, Sylvan Orion who was born at home in April 2013. He has a beautiful smile, strong teeth, bright, intelligent eyes and a sweet nature. His parents both ate a WAPF diet for several years preceding conception and through pregnancy and breastfeeding. They are so thankful for the health and vigor of their beautiful boy. People always comment on how good natured and engaged he is—curious, lively, and so much fun. His favorite foods today are homemade sauerkraut, eggs from our own flock of pastured chickens, raw cheese, any kind of meats and veggies, raw milk, and breastmilk. He has taken fermented cod liver oil and butter oil daily since four months of age and has never had a cold.

Ralph Joseph at nine months old, who was born in November 2013, is the youngest of three boys and our first WAPF baby, having discovered the principles two years ago. He is simply blooming with robust good health. He is very calm and good natured, happy and inquisitive and is enjoying his weaning diet. Particular favorites are sauerkraut, liver, raw butter and cheese and bone broth as his only drink apart from breast milk. He also has fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil daily which he happily takes from a spoon. We feel so blessed to have such a healthy little boy who has had the best start in life and are grateful to the Weston Price Foundation for the work they do in promoting a nutrient-dense, truly healthy diet.

I think it would be helpful and inspiring for women later in life who may be considering conception to have the ages of the mother’s of these babies listed please. Can someone get the info the right person to make that happen?

I’d really love to see updates on these children–how are they doing now, 4 years later? How are the dental arches developing?
