As someone who suffers from severe allergies and other health issues, doing anything I can to help prevent these issues in my children is very important to me! Especially natural solutions! This book, well written & very informative, provided me with many ways to help prevent mg health issues from becoming my childrens issues! ( )

Love, love, love this book! I wish I had had this one when my oldest was a baby! Very informative, and something I will recommend to my expecting friends.

This was a super insightful book to read. As an adult with adult-onset allergies (or at least diagnosed in adulthood) this is a great read in order to prepare for future kids! Definitely informative but not over my head. ( )
