Customer Reviews

Put my mind at ease.

Before purchasing this book, I was going insane tryng to get my daughter to eat. Since reading this, I feel more at ease with her eating habits and no longer do I stress if she doesn't want to eat or eats very little. I recommend this book if you too need some reassurance about your child's eating habits and even if he/she doesn't have any issues, this book can help to prevent them from starting.

A "must read" for any parent having to deal with a food-reluctant or 'picky' kid

"My Child Won't Eat!: How To Prevent & Solve The Problem" by pediatrician Carols Gonzalez is a thoroughly 'parent friendly' introduction to the common problem of getting children to eat what they are served. Blending real-life stories of maternal anguish over a child's stubborn refusal to eat with up-to-date nutritional and child-development research, Dr. Gonzalez illustrates and explains why eating problems start and how they can be avoided and treated. Forcing children to eat more than what they require can lead to tears, tantrums and even obesity. But knowing what constitutes healthful choices and meal-time strategies will result in peaceful dining and well-nourished kids. "My Child Won't Eat!" is a "must read" for any parent having to deal with a food-reluctant or 'picky' kid - and a welcome much needed addition to community library 'how-to' Parenting reference book collections for non-specialist general readers.

A Wonderful Book!

This book is fantastic. It is very readable (almost conversational) and makes total sense. It is a must read for every parent who worries about their child's diet, their relationship with food, about their weight gain. I really wish that all pediatricians and family practice doctors would read it too!

Amazing book!

I have a 21 months old toddler who prefers Mommy's milk to any other food. I love nursing him, but I was a little bit concerned about his weight gain. I bought this book with a hope to get some strategies on how to make my baby eat:-) Instead, after I finished reading this wonderful book, I decided to stop worrying about it completely! There is right time for everything, and we need to trust our toddlers just the way we trust our babies in their eating preferences. After I read this book, I gave it as a present to one of my friends, and I am ordering 2 more! Excellent book!!!

The BEST book on child nutrition EVER!

This will calm any mother's fears. I highly reccomend this book. I couldn't put it down until I was done. Very easy to read and easy to understand.
