Check it out,

This review is from: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (Paperback)
This book is a very good reference for maintaining child care, health care, and proper feeding. The advice on breastfeeding is practical and down-to-earth, unlike other books that insist on rigid meal plans and servings per day which are just not realistic in case of toddlers. The author emphasizes the loving relationship between a parent and a child, and discourages letting food become a battleground. This is the only child rearing book I keep reordering because I've given my copy to so many people. Another great book about healthy lifestyle is "Can We Live 150?" Check it out for yourself.

Too late for me!,
By
This review is from: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (Paperback)
I was recommended this book by a fellow twin mum. My son (then 2 years old) was going through a difficult patch with eating and I was desperate for some advice. The book mainly gives info for newborns up to the toddler years, the focus being on babies rather than toddlers. While the author gives some good advice on eating habits and attitudes I found this book about a year too late and a lot I already knew or was just not relevant anymore. Here's a summary of the chapters:
Chapter 1 - Feeding is parenting Chapter 2 - Your kid knows how to eat & grow Chapter 3 - Your feeding decision: breastfeeding or formula-feeding Chapter 4 - Understanding your newborn Chapter 5 - Breastfeeding your baby Chapter 6 - Formula-feeding your baby Chapter 7 - Feeding your older baby: 6-12 months Chapter 8 - Feeding your toddler: 12-36 months Chapter 9 - Feeding your preschooler: 3-5 years Also included are appendixes with some recipes, growth charts, food safety, vitamin guides, etc. I would recommend this book for mothers are are either pregnant and/or have just had a baby and need some guidance.

IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN TO FEED, BUY THIS BOOK,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (Paperback)
So there you all are, the five of you, finally sitting down at the dinner table. You, the mother, have managed to deliver a hot (or at least warm), nutritionally balanced (there is something green on the table), and home cooked (or close to) meal. Carefully, and with a sense of well-being, you dish it out and cut it up and place tidy plates of food in front of your first-grader, your pre-schooler and your toddler. Your husband helps himself. And as you, yourself, raise that first forkful to your lips, your first grader begins to push his food aimlessly around the plate, your pre-schooler shovels huge bites of pasta into his mouth, then pushes his plate away and announces he is waiting for desert (without having touched his broccoli), and your toddler throws all her food on the ground and screams delightedly, "uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh." Your sense of well-being vanishes, and you wonder, with your head in your hands, what, on earth, you've done wrong.If this scenario recurs almost daily at your house (as it does at mine), then you should BUY THIS BOOK. It is one of those rare parenting books that actually gives you answers. It delivers them up in a friendly, no-nonsense style, based on the author's experience as a mother of three and as registered dietician/clinical social worker. Ellyn Satter has seen it all, and we can all benefit from the wealth of her experience. After reading this updated and expanded edition, I have learned to let my children serve themselves from the serving dishes on the table, and then to sit back and not worry about what else happens. Satter's philosophy regarding feeding is that it is the parent's job to determine the what and when of feeding: what food gets offered and when. And it is the child's job to determine if he will eat the food and how much. Elegantly simple; eminently powerful. The book offers straight-forward advice on feeding your child, from pregnancy through childhood. The sections on infant feeding are informative, educational and, (imagine!) non-judgmental. Satter's advice on the debate between breast feeding and bottle-feeding is comforting and credible. The book also covers introducing solid foods, building positive eating relationships, and avoiding feeding disorders. If you've read and benefited from earlier editions of "Child of Mine", you'll love this new edition, which includes the anecdotes and lessons of Ellyn Satter's many years of experience dealing with families and food. 72 of 76 people found the following review helpful:

Satter's Other Books are a Better Buy,
By Lisa Manske "natural mamma" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (Paperback)
I bought this book after reading "How to Get Your Kid to Eat . .. But Not Too Much" and found this book to be redundant. The book itself is good, but if you read Satter's other books, you don't need this one.In addition, I found "How to Get Your Kid to Eat" to be more concise with basically the same information. Busy parents can get the same help with feeding their children in a much shorter book. This book focuses heavily on infant feeding, both breast and bottle, as well as starting solids. As a breastfeeding mom, I found the chapter on breastfeeding to be average. You're better off with a good breastfeeding book, as you'll need one anyway. The bottlefeeding information presented is very important, as it is tempting to try and control your child's eating when you use a bottle. This book helps you avoid that. There aren't many books on bottlefeeding. Again, though, the important facts about sharing control with your child while bottlefeeding are in her other books. I highly recommend Ellyn Satter, especially to parents with eating issues that they don't want to pass on to their children. One of her two other books is a better, more comprehensive read, though. 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful:

Must-read for all parents,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (Paperback)
This book is the best I've ever read on the subject of infant and toddler feeding. The advice on breastfeeding, starting solids and feeding finicky toddlers is practical and down-to-earth--unlike some books which insist on rigid meal plans and servings-per-day which are just not realistic when feeding toddlers. The author emphasizes the loving relationship between parent and child, and discourages letting food become a battleground. She stresses a healthy attitude toward eating such as allowing kids to listen to their bodies in order to regulate intake, rather than forcing them to "clean their plate" or making them feel bad about eating when they tend toward overweight. All in all, its a very readable book with lots of usable information.
