Parents everywhere worry when their baby or toddler doesn’t seem to eat as much as they think he should! Carlos González, a pediatrician and father, sets those fears to rest as he explores the reasons why a child refuses food, the pitfalls of growth charts, and the ways that growth and activity affect a child’s caloric needs. He discusses how eating problems start and how they can be avoided. My Child Won’t Eat! includes mothers’ stories of the anguish and torment they have gone through in trying to get their children to eat! Dr. Gonzalez reassures parents that children know how much they need to eat and explains why a parents’ only involvement should be providing healthful food choices. Forcing a child to eat more than what he needs can only lead to tears, tantrums, and eventually, obesity.

Amazing book!,

This review is from: My Child Won't Eat!: How to Prevent and Solve the Problem (La Leche League International Book) (Paperback)
I have a 21 months old toddler who prefers Mommy's milk to any other food. I love nursing him, but I was a little bit concerned about his weight gain. I bought this book with a hope to get some strategies on how to make my baby eat:-) Instead, after I finished reading this wonderful book, I decided to stop worrying about it completely! There is right time for everything, and we need to trust our toddlers just the way we trust our babies in their eating preferences.
After I read this book, I gave it as a present to one of my friends, and I am ordering 2 more! Excellent book!!!

Put my mind at ease.,

This review is from: My Child Won't Eat!: How to Prevent and Solve the Problem (La Leche League International Book) (Paperback)
Before purchasing this book, I was going insane tryng to get my daughter to eat. Since reading this, I feel more at ease with her eating habits and no longer do I stress if she doesn't want to eat or eats very little. I recommend this book if you too need some reassurance about your child's eating habits and even if he/she doesn't have any issues, this book can help to prevent them from starting.

So that's why kids won't eat vegi's!,
By tinkers purse (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Child Won't Eat!: How to Prevent and Solve the Problem (La Leche League International Book) (Paperback)
A wonderful book about child nutrition that puts the topic in perspective. The parent's job is to provide nutritious food and the child's job is to eat. Problems come when you try to do each other's jobs. This is not another lecture about how you are a bad mommy if your child doesn't eat vegi's, he really answers the question and takes the pressure off both parent and child.
