Pediatrician Nimali Fernando and feeding therapist Melanie Potock (aka Dr. Yum and Coach Mel) know the importance of giving your child the right start on their food journey - for good health, motor skills, and even cognitive and emotional development. In this updated, second edition of Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater, they explain how to expand your family's food horizons, avoid the picky eater trap, identify special feeding needs, and put joy back into mealtimes, with:
• The latest research and advice tailored to every stage from newborn through school-age
• New guidance on pacifiers, thumb-sucking, feeding concerns, and barriers to eating well
• Helpful insights on the sensory system, difficult mealtime behaviors, and everything from baby-led weaning to sippy cups
• Advice and resources for those lacking access to fresh foods or who are facing financial insecurity
• And seven "passport stamps" for modern parenting: joyful, compassionate, brave, patient, consistent, proactive, and mindful.
Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater shows the way to lead your child on the path to adventurous eating. Grab your passport and go!
