Pregnant or TTC? Here’s How to Build Your Baby’s Iron Stores Before Birth ??

Iron matters long before your baby starts solids. In fact, your baby builds their iron stores in the third trimester—and that prenatal foundation can make a huge difference in their growth, energy, and immune resilience postpartum.

But good news: you don’t need synthetic supplements to do it. You just need real, traditional foods that support iron absorption, copper balance & gut health.

? How to Support Baby’s Iron Stores Naturally:

✔️ Eat organ meats 1–2x/week (like liver—loaded with iron, copper, B12 & vitamin A)
✔️ Sip meat stock daily with soft meats + sea salt
✔️ Pair iron-rich meals with vitamin C (like sauerkraut, cabbage, citrus)
✔️ Minimize excess grains/legumes that block mineral absorption
✔️ Eat pastured egg yolks, red meat, ghee & root veggies
✔️ Prioritize nutrient synergy: iron + copper + retinol = magic
✔️ Request delayed cord clamping at birth (1–2+ mins at the minimum)

⚠️ Most iron supplements are constipating and poorly absorbed. Traditional foods do more and work with the body’s design—without side effects.

? Building strong iron stores in utero helps your baby: – Thrive through the first 6+ months without needing supplementation
– Avoid fatigue, sleep issues, and low appetite
– Support brain development & red blood cell production
– Lower the risk of early anemia or nutrient depletion
This is how our great-grandmothers did it. And it still works. ?

This season at Wrigley Field, hospitality group Levy and the Chicago Cubs will debut a rotating menu that pays tribute to the city and some of their baseball rivals, with new signature items including a doughnut in the shape of a baseball.⁠
⁠
When the Cubs play their first home game of the season Friday, one of the debut items will be a roast beef jibarito sandwich. The sandwich has its roots in the Chicago Puerto Rican community and was selected as a gluten-free option; instead of bread, the fillings are sandwiched between two fried plantains. Wrigley’s iteration has roast beef, garlic aioli and a sweet red pepper for garnish.⁠
⁠
“The jibarito sandwich was actually created here in Chicago,” Mary Ann Culleton, executive chef for Levy at Wrigley Field, said at a preview event Wednesday morning. “We believe we’re the only baseball park featuring that this season.”⁠

The James Beard Foundation announced Wednesday the finalists vying for its coveted Restaurant and Chef awards, and among them are five Chicago chefs and restaurants, including first-time nominees Galit (@galit_restaurant) and Kumiko (@barkumiko).⁠
⁠
“I was just doing some cleaning and repair stuff, and then my phone started blowing up — I was like ‘What’s happening?!’” said Julia Momosé, Kumiko partner and creative director. “It’s really incredible.”⁠
⁠
Kumiko, a Japanese dining bar in the West Loop, was nominated for Outstanding Bar. Momosé, who has a staff of 18, said Kumiko’s first-ever semifinalist nomination in January was already a whirlwind.⁠
⁠
“When I first opened Kumiko, awards were always one of those things that I was hopeful for, that the work we were doing would be recognized, someday — but not necessarily that we existed to win the awards,” said Momosé, who won a James Beard Foundation Media Award in 2022 for her book “The Way of the Cocktail.” “We just wanted to exist and simply be a reflection of the heart and dedication and care and talent and passion for hospitality and for food and for beverage.”⁠
⁠
The James Beard Awards are considered to be among the nation’s most prestigious honors for the culinary industry. This year will also commemorate the 35th anniversary of the awards and celebrate what the foundation calls the “transformative role the awards have played in honoring culinary excellence and shaping the evolution of American food culture.”⁠
⁠
Along with Kumiko, local finalists include Galit for Outstanding Restaurant, and three Chicago finalists in the Best Chef: Great Lakes category, which encompasses Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio: Thai Dang of HaiSous (@haisouschicago); Chris Jung and Erling Wu-Bower of Maxwells Trading (@maxwellstrading) ; and Noah Sandoval of Oriole (@oriolechi).⁠

Starting Dairy or Struggling With Your Toddler? Here’s Where to Begin ??

Healing your child’s gut with GAPS? Don’t skip dairy—just introduce it the right way.
Spoiler: it doesn’t start with cheese or yogurt… it starts with whey drops. ?

Whey (strained from 24-hour yogurt or kefir) is low in lactose & casein but rich in probiotics. It’s the gentlest way to test dairy tolerance and begin seeding the gut with beneficial bacteria—without triggering symptoms.

? Why Start with Whey?
✔️ Seeds the gut with friendly microbes
✔️ Low allergen potential = gentle for sensitive bellies
✔️ Easier to digest than milk or yogurt
✔️ Helps you see if your toddler’s gut is ready for more dairy
? Start with just 1 drop daily in meat stock or water. If tolerated, double slowly. It’s a tiny step with BIG healing potential.

Once whey is tolerated, slowly move through the GAPS dairy stages:
? Ghee → 24-hour yogurt → butter → kefir → aged raw cheese.
One at a time, with care.

? Want my full dairy intro guide?
? Comment “INTRO” and I’ll DM you:
? “Introducing Dairy on GAPS: A Step-by-Step Guide Starting with Whey Drops”

You’ll get:
✔️ My toddler’s real-life GAPS dairy timeline
✔️ Recipes for homemade yogurt & kefir
✔️ Signs of dairy sensitivity & how to pause safely
✔️ Store-bought brands I trust when raw isn’t available
This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about healing with intention & confidence ?

Zinc for Babies & Toddlers – The Unsung Hero of Growth, Gut & Immunity ???

Zinc may be a trace mineral, but its impact on your little one’s health is massive. From brain development and immune strength to gut repair and mood regulation, zinc is a must-have for toddlers—especially those with eczema, gut issues, or picky eating.

Why Zinc Matters:
✔️ Builds the brain & nervous system
✔️ Strengthens immunity and reduces inflammation
✔️ Supports gut lining repair (hello, eczema + sensitivities)
✔️ Helps with appetite, taste, sleep & meltdowns
✔️ Aids in wound healing, collagen & skin barrier strength

Common Signs of Zinc Deficiency:
– Frequent colds or ear infections
– Eczema or diaper rash
– Loss of appetite
– Poor growth or weight gain
– White spots on nails
– Tantrums, fatigue, or focus issues

Zinc-rich animal foods (like organ meats, beef, lamb, oysters & egg yolks) offer highly bioavailable zinc + synergistic nutrients like vitamin A, copper, and B12.

? You don’t need a supplement—you need nutrient-dense whole foods prepared the right way.

? Want the full guide with:
– Zinc benefits for babies & toddlers
– How to support absorption
– Signs of deficiency
– A full list of zinc-rich foods
– PLUS 3 toddler-friendly zinc-loaded recipes?

Raw Milk, A2/A2 Dairy & 24-Hour Yogurt for Babies & Toddlers ??

Thinking of introducing dairy but your little one has eczema, reflux, or a sensitive tummy? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to avoid it forever. The secret is choosing traditional, properly-sourced dairy that nourishes the gut instead of stressing it.

✅ My go-to gut-healing dairy picks:
? Raw milk (sourced safely) – Enzyme-rich, full of bioavailable nutrients & immune support
? A2/A2 dairy (like goat, sheep, Jersey cow) – Easier to digest, less inflammatory
? 24-hour fermented yogurt – Breaks down lactose & casein, loaded with beneficial probiotics
? Breast milk is rich in cholesterol, saturated fat & enzymes—and the right dairy mimics this beautifully when introduced intentionally.

⚠️ Most store-bought yogurts?
– Short ferment time
– Added sugars, gums, thickeners
– Low in active cultures
That’s why I make 24-hour yogurt at home using raw or A2 milk, and introduce it gently—paired with meat stock, fermented veggies, or broth-based meals to support the gut lining.

? We waited on cheese until 12 months, starting with raw, aged sheep cheese for vitamin K2 and easier digestion.

? And kefir? GAME. CHANGER. for diversifying gut flora and improving tummy issues, eczema & food sensitivities.

? If your child has eczema, reflux, slow digestion, or nutrient deficiencies, traditional dairy might be the missing gut-healing link.

Your baby’s brain is over 60% fat—and breast milk? It’s made up of 50–60% fat too. So why are we still being told saturated fats are “bad”? ??

Breast milk gives us the blueprint for feeding growing babies:
✨ High in saturated & monounsaturated fats
✨ Naturally rich in cholesterol (critical for hormone & brain development)
✨ Very low in unstable PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats), balanced by nature with vitamin E

So where did the fear come from? Decades-old studies linked cholesterol to heart disease—without considering inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, or the role of ultra-processed foods.
➡️ Even large clinical trials (like the Minnesota Coronary Experiment) found that replacing saturated fats with seed oils lowered cholesterol—but increased mortality risk.

? Here’s the truth parents need to know:
? Saturated fats (like ghee, butter, beef tallow) are stable, nourishing & great for cooking
? PUFAs from seed oils (canola, soy, sunflower) are inflammatory, unstable & highly processed
? PUFA overload contributes to gut issues, eczema, blood sugar crashes, and hormone imbalances

⚠️ Hidden seed oils are everywhere:
– “Healthy” baby snacks & puffs
– Nut milks & plant-based yogurts
– Seed flours, dips & toddler crackers

✅ The solution? Real fat, smart balance:
? Cook with saturated fats
? Include monounsaturated fats like olive oil & avocado
? Get natural PUFA from wild-caught fish, egg yolks & nuts
? Avoid vegetable oils and ultra-processed fats daily

✨ Let’s raise kids on real food that fuels their brain, gut & immunity—not lab-made oils.
