About the Book

Specifically designed for health visitors, general practitioners, nurses, dietitians and nutritionists, this is the first book to clarify the suggested balance of different foods and food groups needed to provide a healthy diet in infants. It interprets government recommendations and current research to give health professionals completely up-to-date, highly detailed advice in a practical, easy-to-read format. Tables and figures are widely used to illustrate complex concepts and aid understanding. It is ideal as a daily reference. Healthcare policy makers and shapers will also find much of interest to assist in the provision of new guidance.

Review :
'Its content is thought provoking, and it cleverly brings all of the research together, allowing for further reading should the practitioner so wish. One example of the evidence based recommendations the book offers is the identification of beef as a good first food for a child aged 5-7 months once they can take food from a spoon; the research indicated that beef increased a child's zinc intake compared to giving fortified baby cereals as first foods. The book's accessible layout means the first two chapters give a good overview of the weaning process, while the final three chapters break down the dietary requirements into finer detail.' Hannah Marriage, Student Halth Visitor, UK, Journal of Health Visiting
