Product Description
A top pediatrician supplies nutrition advice for parents of children between infancy and preschool, and also discusses how to resolve the most common eating problems children develop. Children's eating habits change often between infancy and preschool. Dr. Paula's Good Nutrition Guide for Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers provides nutrition guidelines for young children and gives parents confidence in this confusing and important area. Pediatrician Paula Elbirt discusses nutrition by age group. Breastfeeding, formula, solids, allergy issues, gas, and burping are issues for infants. Topics for toddlers include creating a healthful diet, snacks, whole versus skim milk, tantrums and food, and eating styles. Food issues change again for preschoolers, and include friends' influence on eating habits, what to do when a child is cranky from hunger, and much more. Sample recipes and menus are provided for each group. Dr. Elbirt describes important differences between emerging eating disorders and odd but harmless food preferences kids embrace briefly and then discard. Whether they have "fussy eaters" or are looking for better ways to provide their children with the best nutrition, Dr. Paula's Good Nutrition Guide for Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers has the information parents need. |

Poorly Titled by Eliza  1 Stars
June 26, 2009
This book is more about methods for feeding your children and the behaviors you may see as they grow up than it is about actual nutrition. She does discuss how many total calories your child should get in a day, but not any other nutrients. There are no recipes in this book. She does provide some examples of what an appropriate serving size is for each age group, but only for a very few specific foods and there is no guidance as to how to adapt what you read on a food label (usually for a 2000 cal. adult diet) to what your child actually needs in their diet. If you are dealing with picky eaters or worried about your child's attitudes & behaviors related to food, this book might help you. If you want more ideas of healthy foods to feed your kids and a way to verify that they're getting the NUTRITION that they need, you will be disappointed.

Very helpful! by Matthew's Mom (Chantilly, VA)  5 Stars
December 26, 2003
Even though I had worked with a nutritionist and pediatrician for a year in trying to help my now 32 month old child to gain more weight, I still learned a lot from reading this book. It was reassuring to read the food diaries and then Dr. Paula's responses, because it discussed in detail how and what children really eat. As someone who has had to write a toddler's food diary, I can tell you that it's hard to really know how much your child is actually eating (nibble of this and bite of that), compare that to how much they are supposed to be eating according to guidelines(ounces, 1/2 cups, etc.), and come up with a clear picture. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who wanted to get some detailed information on young children's nutrition.
