Dr. Oz's Best Piece of Advice For Moms-to-Be

While millions of parents around the world turn to Dr. Oz's show and website for health advice, for Daphne Oz, daughter of Oprah's favorite doctor and cohost of The Chew, the advice comes firsthand. Though the bestselling author and now mom to 4-month-old Philomena certainly knew her way around the kitchen so she could nourish her body while pregnant — she provided us with great prenatal tips and recipes — she looked to her dad for advice when it came to parenting for the first time.

"My dad was full of so much good advice," Daphne says in the current issue of Mini magazine. "But I think the best kernel of wisdom came from his experience as a parent, even more than a doctor."

"I actually was the most confident I've ever been in my body while I was pregnant. I felt so powerful and free to flaunt the curves that we're growing a little baby, so I wore a ton of body con and low boots. I figured out early on that wearing loose clothing often just makes you look bigger, so I tried to wear stuff that fit but that wasn't tight or uncomfortable. Kimonos were a thing of mine for a while, as were pretty baby doll dresses, and of course great leggings and tops." Source: Belathée Photography

"Now that Philo is here, I feel like I'm always eating on the run, trying to catch bites while she's down for a nap or squirming in my lap. It's a lot of one-handed foods or quick meals. But I am totally taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather for long walks [with my family]. And now that she's a bit older and is sort of (fingers crossed!) getting a schedule going, I'm really looking forward to getting back into real workouts. Even if I just have 20 minutes, I'll pull up a workout on my computer — I've done everything from the Insanity routines to Ballet Beautiful sets. I also have found yoga to be really helpful for dealing with back pain and muscle tension — I'm a big fan of Steve Ross." Source: Belathée Photography
