Nourishing Recipes

Traditional, nutrient-dense recipes organized by the Five Pillars of baby nutrition. Each recipe is designed for maximum nourishment with minimal fuss.

The Five Pillars

1

Pillar 1

Gut Maturity First

Fermented foods before nutrient-dense foods. Breast milk is low in iron by design.

2

Pillar 2

Cholesterol & Stable Fats

Rate-limiting for myelination. Egg yolk is the priority first food.

3

Pillar 3

Bioavailable Micronutrients

Heme iron 15-35% absorption vs fortified cereal 2-5%. Dose matters.

4

Pillar 4

Glycine & Collagen

Conditionally essential during growth. Bone broth 2-3 oz/day max.

5

Pillar 5

Preformed DHA

Structural component of brain gray matter. Conversion from plant omega-3 <5%.
