Theoden (age four and one-half) and Audrey (age one and one-half) have been raised on a WAPF diet for most of their lives. Theoden’s WAPF diet began at five months, when his parents discovered the Foundation. This was a blessing, as his first food was switched from veggies to soft-boiled egg yolks. People often comment on how well-behaved, smart, healthy (they almost never get sick) and big they are. Radiant Life’s little dried fish, fermented cod liver oil and bone broth are favorites. The family often gets strange looks about their “excessive” consumption of that golden goodness butter! Thank you, WAPF, for helping children have a great start in life, regardless of their future food choices!

Her parents̕ pride and joy, Sabine Kiki was eight pounds at birth and is pictured here at two weeks old. She came into the world in a water birth and was very alert and healthy since her first minutes. She was born with a full head of hair and a few hours after her birth she was already holding her head up from father’s shoulder to look around. Mother and father began following WAPF guidelines in 2013 while studying for her holistic nutrition certification. Mother experienced no morning sickness and enjoyed pastured eggs, bone broth and gelatin, raw milk and butter, pastured meats, and fermented cod liver oil throughout pregnancy. At three months now, Sabine enjoys a slight variation of WAPF’s goat milk formula since her mom has struggled with her milk supply since her birth, along with what breast milk her mom can provide. She is alert, joyful and smart. She has a nice wide palate and grows stronger and taller every day. Mom has been healed of a chronic health issue that troubled her since before the WAPF diet.

Moses Gabriel Lanati has benefitted from a nutrient-dense, traditional diet eaten by his mother throughout her pregnancy. The diet included grass-fed liver and butter, raw milk and cheese, bone broths, free-range eggs, kimchi, kombucha, a variety of wild game meats and fish, salmon roe, fermented cod liver and high vitamin butter oil for three years before conception. Royal jelly, thyroid and pregnancy supplements by Quantum Nutrition provided additional support as well. His wide-eyed expression causes people to do a double take as people sometimes think that he is a doll. Exclusively breast-fed, at three months he exhibits great strength and development beyond his young age. He can expect to enjoy egg yolks and liver as some of his first foods. His family is so thankful for the work the WAPF has done in promoting true, lasting health.

Valentina Rossi MacKenzie was born healthy and immediately took to breastfeeding. During pregnancy and through lactation, Mom eats plenty of fermented foods, raw milk, grass-fed organ meats, butter and pastured eggs. Valentina continues to be robust and good-natured as evidenced by this picture, which was taken just after she turned five months old and had her first taste of egg yolk with frozen grated chicken liver! She also enjoys bone broth and has just started her fermented cod liver oil. We are so grateful for the gift of good nutrition that we learned about from WAPF.

Emily Claire was born to parents John and Kristie on October 2, 2014, after a healthy pregnancy and delivery. We praise God for her life and are thankful for the ability to eat nourishing foods that have helped all three of our children thrive. Emily is pictured here with big brothers Cole and Nathanael. She is perfectly healthy and beautiful!

Little angel Evangeline (Evie) was born in March 2014 to Anna and Jared. Her birth was natural, fairly quick and drug-free. During pregnancy Mom ate plenty of nutrient-dense foods including grass-fed butter, bone broth, fermented veggies, raw milk, fermented cod liver oil, wild-caught fish, pastured meats and eggs. Evie is a very calm baby, who loves to eat the same foods that her mom ate during pregnancy. Evie also enjoys her daily dose of fermented cod liver oil and butter oil. At eleven months Evie is still successfully nursing. People always comment on Evie’s beautiful eyes, a well-shaped head and how observant and calm she is.

Nine-month-old baby George owes his good health to Mom’s Weston Price diet, which she followed for about a year before George was conceived. She ate a lot of beef, lamb, chicken, pork and seafood, all with skin and fat intact, and fish, chicken and meat stocks for soups, high vitamin cod liver oil, eggs, New Zealand butter, liver pâté, raw goat’s milk, yogurt and cheese. George eats most of these foods as well. He has cod liver oil every morning and lots of liver and butter with his meals. Mom had a really good pregnancy and birth. The midwife couldn’t believe how thick and ropey and strong the umbilical cord was and how it kept pumping blood through for about forty minutes. Mom also ate the placenta, made into pâté. George is a very strong robust baby. He was holding his head up soon after birth and began crawling at seven months. He has a lovely temperament. He is very content on his own or in social situations. He can occupy himself easily for an hour without needing attention. He only cries when there is reason to cry, as when he is hungry, tired or hurt. He has always grown proportionally well on his growth chart and has never been sick. He has never been vaccinated.

Moses Gabriel at fourteen months has a taste for finer foods like liver pâté, dried sardines, raw cheese and his current favorite, salmon roe, which also happens to be super-nourishing. A physically strong and independent baby, he thrives on interactions with people, which bring him great interest and delight. Additionally, spending fourteen to sixteen hours a day sleeping (including naps) since he was five months old has helped him to maintain a fun and relaxed disposition. We give honor and praise to God for Moses’s good health and to WAPF for sharing their timeless knowledge with us!

Alice Lee Godwin was born December 31, 2014 (New Year’s Eve) at 11:59PM! (Way to celebrate the New Year, with a WAPF healthy baby and a miracle vaginal breech delivery!) Alice’s mom, a former WAPF chapter leader, ate a real food, nutrient-dense diet for over two years before conceiving. The six months leading up to her wedding, she focused on nutrient-dense fertility foods such as raw, pastured egg yolks and grass-fed liver. After getting married, both of Alice’s parents ate a rich fertility diet, which included plenty of fats like butter, coconut oil, pastured lard, tallow, and egg yolks, cod liver oil and raw milk. Soon—sooner than they anticipated—they got pregnant with Alice. Alice’s mom had virtually no morning sickness on this diet. Third trimester pregnancy cravings included lots of raw milk and bone marrow! As soon as Alice was born, she immediately took to nursing and is still nursing at eighteen months. She was sleeping a solid eight hours through the night by just eight weeks old, and soon stretched that out to twelve hours a night by six months old. Her mom attributes her ability to sleep through the night so well to all the nourishing, satisfying fats she has gotten in her diet from an early age. When Alice was three months old, her mom added the WAPF raw cow’s milk homemade formula to her diet in addition to her breast milk. Alice’s first foods were pastured egg yolks, raw grassfed beef liver, cultured cream and cod liver oil. Alice Lee continues to enjoy these foods as well as liver pȃté, bone marrow custard, raw milk and colostrum, raw butter, coconut oil, and lard. This girl loves good fat! She has a beautiful complexion and a wide face and jaw. Most people when they see her cannot believe how much she looks like a “doll.” Most people think it is luck to have a beautiful baby, but her parents know that it is the good, nutrient-dense foods high in vitamins A, D, and K2 that she is getting that make her such a beautiful baby!

She is unstoppably curious, extremely energetic and a nonstop babbler, happily passing her days crawling, climbing and exploring anything she can get her hands on. From her parents: “We thank God for such a healthy vibrant baby, and WAPF for helping us re-learn how to nourish ourselves and our baby properly.”
