Mary is the fourth child of Ellie Sodergren, former Lincoln, Nebraska Chapter
Leader. Ellie attributes Mary’s beautiful smile and cheery disposition to switching
to the WAPF diet four years before Mary arrived. Ellie took homemade “prenatal
pills” made from raw liver every day of her pregnancy, along with, of course, cod
liver oil, raw butter, eggs and raw milk. As soon as she was born, Mary’s wide
nose and well-formed palate were apparent. Now, at two years old, all of her
baby teeth have come in beautifully and are a dazzling white—despite a lack of
brushing! Mary is a real milk connoisseur, preferring raw goat’s milk to cow’s. She
has a great appetite and eats everything her mommy makes. She has always slept
well and, much to her mother’s surprise, has already nearly potty-trained herself.
She is very smart, well-coordinated and does everything her older brothers do.
She has been a delight to behold and her mere existence has made her mother daily grateful for the influence WAPF
has had on her family and their health. Her prayer is that many others can experience the joy of a home blessed by
the presence of a “WAPF baby.”

Eleven-month-old Rebekah is pictured thoroughly enjoying her homemade baby custard.
Says mom, "As I look at this picture of this beautifully healthy baby and her sparkly eyes, I
thank God for the Weston A. Price Foundation. Thank you for your hard work to educate
people about real foods, and to help make them available everywhere." Although mom
had previously made homemade baby food, Rebekah was my first baby to feed accord-
ing to WAPF guidelines. While it has been a challenge not feeding any grains (sometimes
it would just be so much easier to give her some Cheerios!), and mind-boggling to give
her egg yolks and liver, it has been well worth the effort. As she approaches her first
birthday in a couple of weeks, it looks like Rebekah will be the first of her siblings not to
have any antibiotics or other medications during her first year. She is a happy, healthy
baby because of a diet of real, nourishing foods from before pregnancy to the present.
May God continue to bless the Weston A. Price Foundation and all those who tirelessly
work on the front lines to educate and fight for our food freedoms."

WAPF child Ashley is pictured here on her first day at school. Off she went no
drama at all. Mum and dad asked her in the car on the way if they should sit with
her for a while until she was settled, Ashley replied that she was already settled
in! Her only problem was that the first week and a half was mornings only and
there would be no homework! She is as tall as most six-year-old girls and has
strong healthy sharp white teeth.

This is a picture of our almost six-
month-old son: Everett Boone Boston
He has been raised so far on the
WAPF infant formula after unsuccess-
ful breastfeeding. I can not thank you
enough for sharing your knowledge
with us!! Jennifer
