Neuroscientist Avena (What To Eat When You're Pregnant) spends her days studying how food affects our brain and our behavior and here shares how to navigate feeding infants and toddlers. With the busyness of life, says the author, comes the temptation to turn to easy-fix meal choices. Focused on providing careful nutritional guidance and simple-to-prepare recipes, Avena's guide organizes meal plans month by month in chapters detailing what is happening developmentally in a child's body, concentrating on a key nutrient at each stage of growth that will be especially crucial to changes at a specific time. Each month's recipes are strong in this primary nutrient, making preparing healthy meals for baby a snap. Dining out, picky eating, food allergies, and other important medical issues are also addressed in the final chapters.
VERDICT Specific nutritional information and straightforward, fun-to-eat recipes make this a great primer for new parents.
