Welcome!
Currently, there are no books available that provide detailed information solely on feeding and nutrition for babies and toddlers. Parents raise many questions and concerns regarding their child's feeding and nutrition. Many times, their questions go unanswered, because doctors are unable to cover all the concerns parents have. They simply do not have the time to explain in detail all nutritional aspects of a baby or toddler. Furthermore, no books are available which fully describe parents practical feeding and nutritional needs. My book covers nutritional and feeding aspects from a medical perspective, from the time the baby is born up until they are five years of age in a simple and practical manner. It is important for parents to be educated about their child's feeding and nutrition as responsibility is on them: they are the child's primary caregivers and are responsible for what, when, why, and how the child is offered to eat and the effects of inappropriate feeding and nutrition.

Did You Know...
Breastfeeding & Intellectual Development
Some studies suggest that formula-fed babies are more prone to learning disorders, overfeeding and obesity, and lower levels of intellectual functioning than breastfed infants (Huggins, 2005).
Colic & Formula
The substitution of cow's milk formula with an extensively hydrolyzed whey formula can help your baby with colic (inconsolable crying of at least 3 hours per day in one
week for a period of more than three weeks) occurring in the first three to five months of age (Pediatrics, Dec 2000, 1343-1354).
When to Start Cleaning Teeth
It is good to start cleaning teeth as soon as they erupt from the gums. You can wipe the teeth with a soft washcloth or with a moist piece of gauze. You may later use a soft infant toothbrush so that your child becomes accustomed to the sensation.
Fat is Important for Brain Development
Fat is an important source of energy for your baby's development, at least until the age of two years. You may gradually introduce low-fat foods into your baby's diet after the age of two years, according to your child's nutritional status and upon discussion with your doctor.
