My Child Won't Eat! by Carlos González

Some years ago a friend on mine's fourth child refused to eat much more than pizza and chiocolate. My friend was laid back about it – he was her fourth son after all. Ten years on, during a recent telephone conversation, my friend said that this reluctant eater was at that moment cooking steak – and making a béarnaise sauce!

Author Carlos González would probably have laughed along with us. He is a paediatrition and father of three who teaches courses on breastfeeding for medical professionals. My Child Won't Eat! is an excellent book designed to reassure the worried parent and boost parents' confidence when they are doing the right thing.

The sections on breastfeeding and weaning are superlative! The frequently asked questions in Part IV produce a mine of well researched information and sensible, down-to-earth advice.

Feeding your baby and toddler and the associated stresses can undermine a new parent. With this book to hand, parents will find the support they need.

If you buy one book about feeding your baby and toddler, buy My Child Won't Eat! and you will not be disappointed. Read it while you are pregnant, then dip into it when you need to.

My Child Won't Eat!: How to enjoy mealtimes without worry published by Pinter & Martin is available from Amazon.
