Did You Change Your Diet Before Conception?
When couples plan conception they generally prepare by tracking ovulation and take all the helpful hints they can get.

Mom might feel fat, but her kiddos shouldn't have to hear it. More and more parents are cutting "I'm chubby" exclamations from their conversation diet as mothers become concerned with the ill effects the statements have on their offspring, particularly impressionable daughters.

A recently released study claims that a woman's eating habits prior to getting pregnant may influence the sex of her children. To get the details, read more
Are Your Kids Healthy Eaters?
As parents, we want to feed our children the healthiest choices available and specialty stores like Whole Foods have made it all the easier.

When Vegetarians Raise Vegetarians
For some, dinner is just a meal. For others, it is a way of life and a testament to their beliefs. Carnivores may not give much thought to the burger on their plate, but vegetarians might.
Did You Start Eating Better Once You Entered Motherhood?
Before baby arrived, mama may have occasionally skipped dinner or even resorted to a liquid diet at the local happy hour. But when there's a wee one in the family, mommy's schedule shifts and often, so does her eating habits. Pregnancy usually kicks a woman's bad eating habits to the curb, giving her a head start on better food choices.
