Discover how to choose meals that provide all
the nutrients your baby or toddler needs.
Are you in the habit of preparing quick unhealthy meals for your
children because you are just too busy?
My name is Bernhardt, and like many other parents, I have frequently prepared quick meals for my child without considering the nutritional value thereof. A dear friend of mine bought me this little book explaining that what my child eats in her early years will determine her future health. This was a real eye-opener for me - I came to the sad realization that I was not taking my responsibilities as a parent serious enough! It was time for a change and I found that change in the sound advice offered in this wonderful little book entitled, Healthy Food for Babies and Toddlers.
I still remember the days when my daughter went through a phase of simply not eating enough, or at least not as regularly as I thought appropriate. The doctor's advice of, "Don't worry, she will eat when she is hungry" was not enough to comfort me. I found my solution in chapter 4 under the subtitle Hunger Strike – Tips To Tempt a Faddy Eater. The first tip was to invite her to help me prepare dinner, the second was to create excitement when eating it and the trick was a dinner-picnic in the middle of the kitchen with Granny's basket, paper-plates and the likes thereof.
I was really satisfied, and felt a sense of achievement in that I was making a difference towards the child’s future health!
This little book by Patsy Westcott is filled with sound advice and many practical suggestions which will:
· Clearly explain the nutritional requirements of babies and toddlers;
· Show how children use food to develop vital skills such as physical coordination;
· Cover the social aspects of eating with advice on how to encourage good table manners;
· Discuss food problems, from allergies to under-nutrition;
· Include sample menus.
My daughter has survived her “hunger strike” of nearly 3 years, and the book has served its purpose in our household. I have decided to auction the book, starting the bid at R40.
I am confident that you will find the same value from this book that I am prepared to guarantee your satisfaction. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the book, I will refund you in full (including return postage - limited to R25), if the book is returned undamaged, within 7 days after receipt.
