Product Description
From the foremost authority on children's health--
a comprehensive guide to making peace at the table, feeding your baby, and creating healthy eating habits for the whole family
The American Academy of Pediatrics knows that the real challenge for parents isn't being aware of what to feed kids--it's getting children to actually eat those foods. From the preeminent organization in the field, the Guide to Your Child's Nutrition is a source of reassuring advice to help parents raise healthy children. Beyond simple guidelines describing the dietary needs of children from birth through adolescence, the Academy gives tips on:
¸ choosing what's best for your newborn
¸ introducing solid foods
¸ feeding toddlers and picky eaters
¸ reducing fat and salt for children of any age
¸ keeping adolescents eating well
¸ identifying allergies in children
The AAP Guide to Your Child's Nutrition uses a two-color format to make its information easy to use and quick to find. Sidebars offer low-fat snacks and menus, help for allergy sufferers, and a plethora of suggestions to make mealtimes easier and healthier for everyone. |
Amazon.com Review
In American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Nutrition, nutritionist William H. Dietz and pediatrician Loraine Stern have written an authoritative, comprehensive resource for parents concerned about their children's nutrition. The book is subtitled Making Peace at the Table and Building Healthy Eating Habits for Life, and it provides useful tips for concerned parents on how to feed their children well without turning into the food police. Subjects covered include instructions for breast and bottle feeding, introducing semi-solids and solids, toddler meals and resistance, school lunches, adolescent/parent food struggles, eating disorders, the relationship between smoking and weight distribution, and, of course, the recommended Food Guide Pyramid. The chapter on eating and food problems, titled "Spitting Up, Gagging, Vomiting, Diarrhea, and Constipation," may not make for great reading on a sensitive stomach, yet it provides a great resource for parents with an ailing child. Another chapter, titled "What Do I Do About Outside Influences?" discusses parental influence, peer pressure, television, and how they may affect your child's relationship with food. Additional subjects include food safety, alternative diets, and allergies. --Ericka Lutz |

The Flouride Comment Threw Me Past the Edge 
The book is very well written, clear, easy to read and understand. It would have gotten more stars, but there is also some highly dangerous misinformation in here.
Here is a complete lie in the book.
"The mineral fluoride is another important nutrition. It is critical for the formation of your child's teeth... the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends giving a fluoride-containing supplement between feedings after 6 months of age."
Fluoride is not a necessary mineral, and I don't think there are any studies which say it is. Fluoride is a highly poisonous substance that is a waste product from nuclear refining and industrial processing. Fluoride in water has been linking to cancer and various diseases. I know people who had fluoride pills in their youth, they all have white spots all over their teeth, that is dental fluorosis.
Clearly some of the advice in the book has another agenda then your child's health.
Review is by Ramiel Nagel author of Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) & Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition (First Edition).

Just ok 
I was excited about this book, but I have found that not much of it is relevant for the age of my little one (4 years old). They list a lot of good information for babies and a lot of good information for older kids, but the information for toddlers and preschoolers was lacking, in my opinion.

Good Reference 
I bought this book to help me figure out how to make sure my infant was receiving all the nutrients necessary and also to help with the transition from just formula to eating regular meals. The book didn't help with information on the transition, but I still think the nutrition information is great.It has good tips on how to keep feeding time from becoming a battle and good tips on how to start your children out on the right track to healthy eating. The information on what NOT to feed your infant is also extreemly important and could prevent many choking incidents!
