Finally, a book that details (without jargon! without guilt!) precisely what and how moms-to-be and new mom should eat. As an editor at [. . . ], I found this to be the best current compendium of all things pre- and postnatal diet and exercise. Women should pick this up for the super-current nutrition advice, and keep it long after pregnancy for the fabulous recipes.

As a registered dietitian and an expectant mother myself, I loved Elizabeth’s book! The information is presented in a very clear, concise, and usable way that is perfect for every parent and parent-to-be. As a first time mother, I have purchased a LOT of books, but this is by far my favorite because it really focuses on all aspects of pregnancy – before, during and after! I like all of the lists and tables in the book, and I love all of the recipes! I have truly found this book to be an invaluable resource, and recommend it to all of my friends, family, and clients.

Not that I’m the spokesperson for all guys, but generally speaking, we are clueless when it comes to knowing what we can do to support our wives during pregnancy. Finally, we can stop “scratching our heads” when it comes to meal preparation – not only does Expect the Best make it abundantly clear what is best nutritionally for mother and child but the easy-to-prepare and delicious recipes are sure to bring pleasure to her palate. Do yourself (and her) a favor guys – GET THIS BOOK!!

This is the perfect all-in-one reference guide for any woman wanting to maintain or achieve a healthy lifestyle before, during and after child birth. As the mother of 3, I strongly believe in the power of exercise and a healthy diet. Ward’s guide has provided me with great tips that I can incorporate into my daily routine. Expect the Best backs up my belief that putting in the extra effort pays off for both mom and baby. I have already cooked up a few of Ward’s creative recipes for my family.

Pregnant women want to do what’s best to give their babies the best possible start in life. When it comes to nutrition, this means optimizing your diet before you actually begin eating for two. Registered dietitian Elizabeth Ward shares her practical nutritional expertise about how to prepare your body for pregnancy and beyond. As a pediatrician and former director of a newborn nursery, I appreciate the fact that Expect the Best answers such common questions as whether it’s safe to eat sushi during pregnancy, how much caffeine (or alcohol) is too much, and what to do if you just can’t swallow those huge prenatal vitamins. The book also discusses how many extra calories are really necessary when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding a baby and, unlike many other books on pregnancy and nutrition, this one uniquely addresses the role a father’s nutrition plays on the future health of a child. I’m thrilled that I can now refer my patients to Expect the Best, which covers all of the above and a whole lot more.
