Recommendation for book for vegan pregnancy?

Postby Seeking wfpb info » Tue Sep 20, 2022 7:33 am

Hi,
I'm looking for a suggestion for a book for pregnant women who prefer to avoid or minimize animal products. Most manuals out there give the impression that it is necessary to eat large amounts of animal products and dairy.
Any suggestions for a recommended book?
Thanks!

Following McDougall myself over a decade. Dad raising my 3 kids ages 6, 8 and 9 McDougall compliant since birth. Not aware of any book specific to WFPB pregnancy. Have listened to a handful of WFPB OBGYN on various podcasts, but not aware of any writing book specific to pregnancy. You will find a vegan pregnancy book cited in references of the Nutrition Studies article.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
“Well planned vegan, lacto vegetarian, and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy and lactation.”

Brenda Davis is a registered dietitian who promotes a whole-food, plant-based diet. She is very well-respected in the "plant-based community." One of her books is Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition. It has a chapter devoted to pregnancy and lactation.

Not a book but great information from Dr McDougall in his newsletters.
