Summary: A Realistic and Practical Guide to Feeding Kids Right
Review: I'm giving this wonderful book as a gift to all my friends who are starting families. It is packed with practical information about how we parents can manage to get the best, most nutritious foods into our kids. It covers all the developmental stages - from infancy, into the "finicky eater" years, and through the teens, when high-fat, low-nutrient fast foods seem to hold the most allure. Dr. Goldberg gives a wealth of easy-to-understand information on kids' basic nutritional needs and also debunks long-held assumptions about the real value of some popular dietary stand-bys (like peanut butter). I really appreciate all the practical advice he gives here. He not only tells parents what's best, he explains why. So, rather than simply preaching breastfeeding to new mothers, he gives sound, compelling reasons why infants benefit most from mother's milk. As a pediatrician and parent, Dr. Goldberg seems to understand the practical problems we all face in actually getting our kids to eat what's good for them. The temptations of high-fat high-carb fast foods are all around us. Taking all that into consideration, he provides lots of easy, delicious recipes that we can make for kid's meals, school lunch boxes, and snacks. You can tell he appreciates good food himself - there are no dry, gritty or bland "health foods" on the menu. He names brands here, too - some products to avoid and some that can enhance a healthy, delicious diet kids (and parents)will actually want to eat. Thumbs up on this one for its wise and parent-friendly advice!
