"A comprehensive manual for feeding babies and toddlers during the crucial first years of life, written by a team of medical experts who are also parents. Every new parent struggles when deciding what to feed their child during the first years of life. It's a time when a child's nutritional needs change dramatically, and finding trustworthy information about how to make these decisions is difficult. Unfortunately, there is no single, authoritative guide for parents during this taxing and often stressful time--until now. Written by medical and culinary experts, including a pediatrician, pediatric gastroenterologist, pediatric allergist, pediatric dietitian/nutritionist, and a personal chef/recipe developer specializing in food allergies and dietary restrictions, The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies and Toddlers will help parents give their children the optimum nutrition they need to thrive. In an incredibly accessible Q & A format, the authors address common concerns, such as when to start solids or how to tell if your child has allergies, offering simple solutions and ideas for feeding children from birth to three years. The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies and Toddlers will take the guesswork out of mealtime for busy parents, allowing them to feed their children with confidence and ease"-- |
