“A book that should be read by every obstetrician, pediatrician, or woman considering pregnancy.” – Dr. Bruce Hollis, Professor of Pediatrics.

During pregnancy and early infancy, the brain is developing at an astonishing rate. As a result, this a time when the smallest details can have a profound impact on your child's future IQ, learning abilities, memory, and attention span.

How can you support your baby's brain development when it matters most? And why are 1 in 10 children today facing conditions that can be traced back to problems with the earliest stages of development (such as autism, ADHD, and language delays)?

To answer these questions, Rebecca Fett, author of the bestselling fertility book It Starts with the Egg, put her training in biochemistry and molecular biology to work and examined a vast array of the latest scientific research. By translating this research into practical, evidence-based recommendations, and sharing advice from renown pediatricians and obstetricians, Brain Health from Birth will guide you on everything you can do during pregnancy and the first year to help your baby thrive.

I am so impressed with this book. I became a fan of Rebecca Fett’s research initially when I was looking for answers on how to manage symptoms of my autoimmune arthritis (which I got with her book The Keystone Approach). This led me to her other book, It Starts With the Egg, when I started trying to get pregnant (again, got great results - I’m pregnant with my first). I preordered this book and flew through it. As always, she has practical advice that is backed by the most recent research. No fear mongering - just useful tips in how small changes can make a big impact on baby’s brain development while in utero and the first year of babe’s life. I ended up getting a copy as a gift for my nursing friend who was interested in all the info I was talking about at work. Would definitely recommend !

Only have read a few chapters so far, but found out about the importance of taking Choline in early pregnancy. Especially pertaining to me, as I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto, and have been on Aip diet since January, the chapter on autism and ADHD made me realize that I should still continue with the anti inflammatory diet.

I think only 5% is really useful. Almost everything is related to autism and ADHD. Save time and money and do not buy it

Rebecca does a great job on presenting research and information in a way that is easy to understand. The book is well written, and gives you ideas on how to control what you can control and provide for your baby now and when she’s born the best way possible.
Thanks to her first book, I’m blessed to be pregnant and this book is allowing me to continue on my mission to have a happy healthy pregnancy and beyond. Thank you for everything you do Rebecca.

Informative but limited

If you’re looking for a book that covers nutrition and particularly vitamins during pregnancy and breastfeeding this is a good book to read, with evidence-based reviews and clear summaries.

However, I did have a couple of issues with this book. First of all, it’s a very narrow view of ‘nurturing’ brain health as it essentially only covers nutrition and medicines. There was very little in this book that covered the just as important topic of non-nutrition stimulation and nurturing (talk, play, engagement, etc). I would also retitlr this as ‘Preventing autism and ADHD’ as that seems to be the primary focus of the book. It is written from a lens that assumes your child is at high risk of developing autism and ADHD and how to prevent that. Again, this is a very narrow view and fails to truly look at early childhood development from the lens of nurturing and optimising growth and potential.

Invaluable book for pregnancy and beyond

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2020

A lot of emphasis is put on our babies developing well physically in the womb and beyond however what is equally important and not really talked about is brain development.

I do feel that these days it is vitally important to be in charge of your own health, not to rely on doctors or midwifes, do your own research and learn the facts for yourself, especially during pregnancy and this is exactly what Rebecca has done with this book. After a 6 year long battle to get pregnant I was terrified of doing something wrong when it eventually happened however I felt much more empowered and more in control of my pregnancy after reading this book. It is written in a way that is very easy to understand and every fact is supported by science and research (with reference to the specific studies if you want to delve deeper into that subject).

It explains the role of vitamins and supplements in pregnancy which I found extremely interesting and invaluable. For example, society pushes the use of Folic acid during pregnancy however this is the synthetic version of Folate which is much better for us to take. Some women are born without the enzymes that the body needs to convert Folic acid into Folate internally (but of course they would never know this) plus it is possible to take too much folic acid and this can happen as some foods, such as certain cereals, have added folic acid and too much can cause brain developmental problems. It is not possible to take too much folate on the other hand. Also, the book teaches of the vital importance of Choline during pregnancy and breast feeding. When I mentioned Choline to my midwife, she had no idea what I was talking about - which emphasises my point that we need to take control of our own health through our own education.

The book is a follow on to Fett's first book "It starts with the egg" and it carries on many of the concepts that she first highlights there such as being cautious of plastic during pregnancy and your babies early years, the importance of diet and highlights certain toxic foods to avoid (I never knew that oats were so bad for toxins so have switched to organic now). She also highlights the fact that a lot of every day items such as rugs, curtains, baby car seats, mattresses etc are covered in flame retardant and other nasty chemicals which our babies will absorb over time and she gives recommendations for non-toxic, safe brands. It's all about awareness - we cant avoid these things completely however we can significantly reduce exposure.

I highly recommend this book to all pregnant ladies, new mothers or for ladies hoping to get pregnant in the future and for dads too.

Huge fan of Rebecca Fett’s first book It Starts With The Egg. I used that as a guide to getting pregnant. This Brain Health From Birth, has been a good practical step by step of things you and your partner can do during each stage of pregnancy from vitamins right through to during your baby’s first year. The book is very digestible and you can always join to Facebook page for more conversations on specific questions you may have.
