about this book: Eating after having a baby can be a challenge. It's hard just to get out of bed in those first weeks, much less find the time to shop for groceries and cook. You can rely on friends and family to provide food, but that can be unpredictable. You can get a chef service if you have the money, but most of us don't. Or you can eat take-out and canned food for a month… if you can tolerate it.

What if you didn't have to do any of those things? What if there was a better, easier way?

Before Baby is a full color e-book dedicated to helping families prepare delicious and nutritious meals to eat after their bundle of joy arrives. I started writing this book while pregnant with my first son because, as a nutritionist, I knew how important good food was to your recovery after birth. Now that I'm a mom, I can also tell you that eating well will preserve your health and sanity with a newborn!
