An Appetite for Life: How to Feed Your Child from the
Start. Clare Llewellyn & Hayley Syrad, $21.95
One of the greatest challenges a parent faces is
navigating their child’s appetite. From picky eaters to overeaters, babies and
toddlers can be difficult to feed. Yet a parent’s job is to ensure that their
child is receiving the nutrition they need. New research suggests that a child’s
eating habits are shaped as early as pregnancy. In An Appetite for Life,
researchers Clare Llewellyn and Hayley Syrad separate fact from fad and share
the latest reliable science to help you decide what’s best for you and your
child. This is an invaluable, evidence-based guide to your child’s unique
appetite and what they need in order to eat well—for life. |

Baby-Led Feeding. Jenna Helwig, $24.99
What if you could skip the tiny jars and pouches of bland
baby food in favor of a more natural, flavor-filled, and family-friendly
transition to solid foods? Baby-led feeding (also known as baby-led weaning) is
just that. Feeding your baby a variety of healthy, wholesome solid foods,
rather than relying solely on purees, is thought to promote motor skills and
establish lifelong healthy eating habits. Here, author and food editor at
Parents magazine Jenna Helwig gives an easy-to-follow introduction to this
popular new method.
With more than 100 ideas and recipes, this bright,
photo-driven book includes chapters on the benefits of this approach, when and
how to get started, essential safety and nutrition guidelines, frequently asked
questions, basic fruit and vegetable prep, more complex finger foods, and
family meals. All recipes have been reviewed by a registered dietitian and
include nutrition information to ensure a healthy mealtime. |

Baby-Led Weaning, Revised 10th Anniversary Edition:
the Essential Guide to Introducing Solid Foods and Helping Your Baby Grow Up a
Happy and Confident Eater. Gill Rapley & Tracey Murkett, $21.00
Forget baby purées and spoon-feeding — there’s an easier,
more natural way for parents to introduce their baby to solid foods. By about
six months — when babies can sit up unassisted, grab things, and “munch” on
them — they are ready to join the family at the kitchen table and discover food
for themselves.
Now, ten years after the first publication of this guide,
baby-led weaning is a global movement. Here originators of the concept Gill
Rapley and Tracey Murkett update their guidelines on baby-led weaning, recap
its many benefits, and offer parents all-new research on how to feed their
little one. Baby-led weaning is:
- Good for baby’s development and lifelong health
- More convenient for parents than purées
- Just as safe as spoon-feeding

The Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook: Your Baby Learns
to Eat Solid Foods — You Enjoy the Convenience of One Meal for Everyone.
Gill Rapley & Tracey Murket, $29.95
Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett are the creators of
baby-led weaning (BLW), a commonsense way to introduce your baby to solid
foods. There’s no need to struggle with purées and spoon-feeding! Instead, Baby
can explore the same foods you enjoy — how they feel, smell, and taste; how to
grasp them and chew them — all at his or her own pace. The Baby-Led Weaning
Family Cookbook includes 99 all-new recipes, many suited for families of 4
or more. Plus, Rapley and Murkett review all the benefits of BLW:
- It’s convenient: The whole family eats the same meal — together
- It helps Baby learn: BLW builds motor skills, coordination, and
confidence
- It promotes lifelong health: By teaching Baby to love a variety
of foods and to gauge fullness, BLW helps prevent picky eating, and overeating,
later on!

Baby-Led Weaning: the (Not-So) Revolutionary Way to
Start Solids and Make a Happy Eater. Teresa Pitman, $19.95 
Put down the spoon and forget the purées — baby-led weaning
is the easy, natural way for your baby to start solid foods. Around 6 months,
most babies are developmentally ready to self-feed. The philosophy behind baby-led
weaning is to offer your baby healthy finger foods and let her determine how
much or how little she wants to eat. The baby-led method has been proven to:
- Encourage healthy eating habits
- Discourage pickiness
- Help children learn to listen to their bodies
- Build confident eaters
Author Teresa Pitman, a leading parenting authority and
mother of four, has put together all you need to know about the baby-led method
in an informative, visually appealing package. Baby-Led Weaning features
at-a-glance nutrition and food tips as well as specific chapters on special
diets and allergies. Parents around the world are turning to the baby-led
method, and Baby-Led Weaning is a uniquely authoritative and lively

Broccoli Boot Camp: Basic Training for Parents of
Selective Eaters. Keith Williams & Laura Seiverling, $29.95
Broccoli Boot Camp is a comprehensive guide for
parents of children who are selective or "picky" eaters, and children
with — or without — special needs (e.g, autism or Down syndrome). It presents
commonsense behavioural interventions to successfully expand children's diet
variety, and preferences for healthy foods. The book starts with the simple
premise that when children are encouraged to taste and consume tiny portions of
new foods, repeatedly and with lessening resistance, they learn to accept and
enjoy the foods as part of their regular diets.
The book describes ways to increase compliance, factors
to consider when choosing an intervention, and strategies to shape behaviour.
Finally, five intervention plans are presented with step-by-step procedures,
modifications, and tips on maximizing success. Parents can choose the
intervention which works best for their family's circumstances. The book also
contains forms to track data, incentives, and meals, and a behaviour contract
to use with older children. Broccoli Boot Camp gives parents the tools
they need to promote healthy eating for their child as well as improve the
family mealtime experience! |

Complementary Feeding: Nutrition, Culture and
Politics. Gabrielle Palmer, $18.95
Gabrielle Palmer's groundbreaking
book THE POLITICS OF BREASTFEEDING highlighted the controversies
surrounding the aggressive promotion of breastmilk substitutes. She now turns
her attention to complementary feeding — the first foods that a child eats
besides milk.
For most of human existence, children
went without industrially processed foods and branded food products. The power
and influence of the food industry has increased dramatically in recent
decades. Seductive and often unethical modern marketing methods have led to the
promotion of unsuitable, unnecessary and sometimes harmful baby foods. Yet not
all industrially processed foods are bad and not all 'natural' foods are good.
Both poor and rich children may be inappropriately fed.
What lessons can we learn from history?
How do cultural and religious beliefs influence the choice of food? Can
government initiatives have any effect? How can we provide good nutrition for all
infants? This brief, compassionate and thought-provoking new book will be
of interest to anyone who is curious about the world, its children and their
nutrition, and will stimulate discussion and debate as part of the campaign to
create a world where health for all is a true goal. |

Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating: a
Step-by-Step Guide for Overcoming Selective Eating, Food Aversion, and Feeding
Disorders. Katja Rowell & Jenny McGlothlin, $25.95
In Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating,
a family doctor specializing in childhood feeding joins forces with a speech
pathologist to help you support your child's nutrition, healthy growth, and end
meal-time anxiety (for your child and you) once and for all.
Are you parenting a child with 'extreme' picky eating? Do
you worry your child isn't getting the nutrition he or she needs? Are you tired
of fighting over food, suspect that what you've tried may be making things
worse, but don't know how to help? Having a child with 'extreme' picky eating
is frustrating and sometimes scary. Children with feeding disorders, food
aversions, or selective eating often experience anxiety around food, and the
power struggles can negatively impact your relationship with your child.
Children with extreme picky eating can also miss out on parties or camp because
they can't find “safe” foods. But you don't have to choose between fighting
over every bite and only serving a handful of safe foods for years on end.
Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating offers
hope, even if your child has “failed” feeding therapies before. After gaining a
foundation of understanding of your child's challenges and the dynamics at
play, you'll be ready for the five steps (built around the clinically proven
STEPS+ approach-Supportive Treatment of Eating in PartnershipS) that transform
feeding and meals so your child can learn to enjoy a variety of foods in the
right amounts for healthy growth. You'll discover specific strategies for
dealing with anxiety, low appetite, sensory challenges, autism spectrum-related
feeding issues, oral motor delay, and medically-based feeding problems. Tips
and exercises reinforce what you've learned, and dozens of “scripts” help you
respond to your child in the heat of the moment, as well as to others in your
child's life (grandparents or your child's teacher) as you help them support
your family on this journey. This book will prove an invaluable guide to
restore peace to your dinner table and help you raise a healthy eater. |

stay-at-home Dad and his experience with food has changed …a
little.
Hungry Monkey is the story of Amster-Burton’s life
as a food-lover — with a child. It’s the story of
how he came to realize that kids don’t need puree in a
jar or special menus at restaurants and that raising an adventurous
eater is about exposure, invention, and patience. Sharing in
his culinary capers is little Iris, a budding gourmand and a
zippy critic herself, who makes hug sandwiches, gobbles up hot
chilies, and even helps around the kitchen sometimes. Hungry
Monkey takes food enthusiasts on a new adventure in eating,
with dozens of delicious recipes and notes on which can accommodate
help from "little fingers." |

It’s Not about the Broccoli: Three
Habits to Teach Your Kids for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating. Dina Rose, $23.00
You already know how to give your kids
healthy food — the hard part is getting them to eat it. When parents focus
solely on nutrition, their kids — surprisingly — eat poorly. But when families
shift their emphasis to behaviors – the skills and habits kids are taught — they
learn to eat right. Every child can learn to eat well — but only if you show them
how to do it. Dr. Rose describes the three habits — proportion, variety, and
moderation — all kids need to learn, and gives you clever, practical ways to
teach these food skills, including:
- How to confidently explore strange, new foods
- How to know when they’re hungry and when they’re full
- How to branch out from easy-to-like prepackaged kid fare to more mature
tastes and textures
- How to engage in open and honest talk
about food

Eating Challenges! Lori Ernsperger & Tania Stegen-Hanson, $34.95

eater? Does he or she eat only a few foods, refusing all others? Eat from only

professional help, and how to deal with the behavior at home. Learn about:
- Gastrointestinal, Physical, and Oral-Motor Development
- Environmental and Behavioral Factors in Problem Eating
- Sensory and Motor Based Problems Affecting the Resistant Eater
- Designing and Implementing a Treatment Plan

Kid Food: the Challenges of Feeding Children In a
Highly Processed World. Bettina Elias Siegel, $27.50
In Kid Food, nationally recognized food writer
Bettina Elias Siegel (New York Times, The Lunch Tray) explores the cultural
delusions and industry deceptions that have made it all but impossible to raise
a healthy eater in America. Combining first-person reporting with the hard-won
understanding of a food advocate and parent, it presents a startling
portrayal of the current food landscape for children — and the role of parents
in navigating it. Siegel also lifts the curtain on shadowy food industry
front-groups, including clever marketing techniques that intentionally confuse
parents about a product's nutritional value. (Did you know that "made with
real fruit" may mean a product is less healthy?) What emerges is the
industry's divide-and-conquer strategy, one that stokes kids' desire
for junk food while breaking down parents' ability to act as responsible
gatekeepers.
For anyone who frets over what their child is eating, Kid
Food offers both essential reading and a deeper understanding of the
factors at play in their child's food environment. Written in the same engaging
and relatable voice that has made The Lunch Tray a trusted resource for parents
for almost a decade, Kid Food offers a well of compassion — and
expertise — for those fighting the good fight at home. |

Nope. Never. Not for Me! A Little Senses Book. Samantha
Cotterill, $22.99
This deceptively simple story guides sensitive kids
through trying a new food, with support and encouragement aplenty.
Children are often picky eaters, but for kids on the
autism spectrum or with sensory issues, trying new foods can be especially
challenging. In Nope! Never! Not for Me! a young child refuses to try a bite of
broccoli — that is, until her mom guides her through a careful exploration of the
new food. First she looks, then she sniffs, then touches, and finally takes one
tiny bite. What do you know? Broccoli isn't so overwhelming after all!
With simple, reassuring text and bold illustrations in a
limited palette, Nope! Never! Not For Me! espouses a patient approach to
picky eating and gently offers practical advice for coping with new experiences
to sensitive children on and off the autism spectrum. |

Outside the Box: Why Our Children Need Real Food,
Not Food Products. Jeannie Marshall, $21.00 
When Canadian journalist Jeannie
Marshall moved to Rome with her husband, she delighted in Italy's famous
culinary traditions. But when Marshall gave birth to a son, she began to see
how that food culture was eroding, especially within young families. Like their
North American counterparts, Italian children were eating sugary cereal in the
morning and packaged, processed, salt- and fat-laden snacks later in the day.
Busy Italian parents were rejecting local markets for supermercati, and
introducing their toddlers to fast food restaurants only too happy to imprint
their branding on the youngest of customers. So Marshall set on a quest to
discover why something that we can only call "kid food" is
proliferating around the world. How did we develop our seemingly insatiable
desire for packaged foods that are virtually devoid of nutrition? How can even
a mighty food culture like Italy's change in just a generation? And why, when
we should and often do know better, do we persist in filling our children's
lunch boxes, and young bodies, with ingredients that can scarcely even be
considered food?
Through discussions with food crusaders such as Alice Waters, with chefs in
Italy, nutritionists, fresh food vendors and parents from all over, and with
big food companies such as PepsiCo and Nestle, Marshall gets behind the issues
of our children's failing nutrition and serves up a simple recipe for a return
to real food. |

What to Feed Your Baby: Cost-Conscious Nutrition
for Your Infant. Stan Cohen, $22.95
When babies are born, parents are
bombarded with information, much of it around infant feeding. Sorting through
it all can be confusing and intimidating. In WHAT TO FEED YOUR BABY parents can
find clear, accessible advice about feeding their babies in the first year. Pediatrician
Stan Cohen considers the nutritional value of each option, as well as the costs
involved, so that parents can make truly informed choices. He also discusses
the common problems — gastric reflux, gassiness, and colic — as well as less
common issues such as allergies, special needs, and prematurity.
Detailed, concise, and thoughtful, WHAT
TO FEED YOUR BABY will help parents understand the impact of the feeding
choices they make in these early months of their child’s life. (Note: this book
is American, so it does not necessarily reflect the costs and lifestyle
influences — such as length of maternity leave — parents here in Canada
experience. |
