At his six-month checkup, this happy boy was in the 98th per- centile for height and off-the-charts for weight due to his strong, dense bones. He is doing extremely well developmentally for just about every metric. He started on homemade formula in week two of life (modified powder formula for two weeks and then
full WAPF milk-based formula since then). He has only caught one brief cold since starting in daycare at month three. Every- one is amazed with how alert and advanced he is for his age.
Baby Celeste was born in early March, 2018. She had a beautiful natural water birth and weighed in at eight pounds, nine ounces. Some of her first solid foods were homemade chicken broth, egg yolks, liver and butter. Now that she is a bit older, she enjoys drinking raw milk and taking cod liver oil.
Kit Stone was delivered via midwife in the tub
at a birth center, exactly what his elated parents had hoped for after their first child was born
in a hospital. This time around mom had a full WAPF diet, including FCLO, and delivery came much more easily. He was quite heavy for his smaller size but extremely strong and alert, lifting his head to get a look around and turn- ing over onto his belly his first night! Now at
just three months he is adding a lot of weight
to his stature and is close in size to many of the one-year-olds he encounters. He is a very happy baby, loves being held and holding a conversa- tion with smiles, coos and laughs all day long. Grandma recently came to visit and remarked on his good temperament which we believe
is linked to his mom’s high animal fat intake.
Wise Traditions baby Frank Field Talbot was born at a birth center on February
7, 2019, weighing in at seven pounds. Alert and happy, Frank has a special guardian angel in his late grandmother, Kim Schuette.
