About Feed the Belly:
The Pregnant Mom’s Healthy Eating Guide
The only eating guide for expectant moms that helps satisfy your cravings while giving your baby all the nutrients he or she needs. Plus, it’s packed with delicious recipes, including ones from top chefs.
Every soon-to-be mom wants to make sure she’s doing everything right for her baby, and Feed the Belly offers comforting answers to the quandaries over what’s safe—and healthy—to eat. Featuring more than 60 mouthwatering, easy-to-make recipes organized by craving (sweet, salty, meaty, spicy, and thirst-quenching), this eating-well guide outlines what you need, and points out Baby Bonus and Mama Must-Have nutrients in each recipe.
Feed the Belly also reveals what should (and shouldn’t) be on your shopping list for the next nine months, how to choose the healthiest fish to eat, germ-free tips for cooking, plus what to eat when you’re trying to get preggers. It also includes a seven-day eating plan, tip for choosing healthy fast food (yes, it exists!), and advice for staying fit for two (including yoga poses from a top instructor).
With a foreword by Food Network star Robin Miller, and including delicious recipes from chefs like Cat Cora and Gale Gand, Feed the Belly offers expecting moms something to really sink their teeth into.

Reader Testimonials:
"I just have to say that I love your book! I initially purchased it as a gift for a friend who recently became pregnant. I am an RD myself (also did my undergrad at Cornell), and my husband & I recently decided to start trying for our own family. So, after I got the book for my friend, I started reading it myself, and couldn't put it down. Now I'll have to get my friend a new copy, because mine is starting to look worn!!"
"I love Feed the Belly! My husband and I are 2 years TTC, and I just came across the book. I am half-way through the first reading, and already love the suggestions set forth."
"First I want to thank you for such a wonderful book about nutrition during pregnancy. I found your book on my first trip to the library after learning that I was pregnant. It was exactly what I was looking for. I have found everything to be extremely valuable--all the information and the recipes. I have already bought 2 additional copies for other 1st time pregnant friends."
