By "renakohrt" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
As a first-time mom and not big on counting calories and daily values %s of each bite of my food I was not sure what to give or not to give and how much to give to my baby girl when she started eating solids.
This book gave me exactly the information I needed and more!
I am going to buy this book as a Baby Shower gift for my cooworker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and smart, February 1, 2002
By A Customer
Many children's nutrition books offer unrealistic advice. This book, written by a dietitian and parent, is very practical and realistic, and helps parents figure out how to feed their children healthy food without making the dinner table a battle ground. I found the suggestions very helpful, and I plan to make this book my standard baby shower gift for new mothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Resource for Parents of Young Children, April 1, 2002
By Hillary M. Wright (massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the mother of three young children - one picky eater, one who can't get enough and one junk-food junky - I was thrilled to find a book written by a nutrition professional that can relate to the challenges of feeding kids. In this easy to read book, nutritionist Elizabeth Ward provides common sense advice on how to feed kids healthy foods based on both sound nutrition science and her experiece feeding her own children. Starting with "preparing for pregnancy," Ward covers topics that all parents want to know about -- breastfeeding, introducing solid foods, helping your child establish eating habits that will ward off chronic disease later in life, "super foods" for kids, food safety and more. I think what I like most is that all the information is presented in a really common sense, guilt-free way, and includes a lot of first hand experiences from mom's also trying to raise healthy kids in a "junk food" world. In my opinion, any book that can help me feed my kids healthfully without adding to the stress of child rearing is worth five stars !
