Widely considered the leading book involving nutrition and feeding
infants and children, this revised edition offers practical advice that
takes into account the most recent research into such topics as:
emotional, cultural, and genetic aspects of eating; proper diet during
pregnancy; breast-feeding versus; bottle-feeding; introducing solid food
to an infant's diet; feeding the preschooler; and avoiding mealtime
battles. An appendix looks at a wide range of disorders including
allergies, asthma, and hyperactivity, and how to teach a child who is
reluctant to eat. The author also discusses the benefits and drawbacks
of giving young children vitamins.
