Book recommendations required!
At my TAFE college, we teach both catering and child studies, and so we have a
small selection of books on feeding babies and toddlers. I was weeding in that area, and most of these books are officially out of date: they recommend the introduction of solids at 4-6 months. Last month, the new Dietary Guidelines for Australians were released, and they fiiiiiinally say introduction of solids at or after 6 months. (And they say low-fat items are fine after two years -- it used to be after four years of age.) http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications...es/dietsyn.htm Can anyone recommend new materials on feeding babies and toddlers, with the current recommendation? BTW, the Australian Breastfeeding Association gets a great plug in the "Food for Health" information booklet, near the end: http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/pdf/n31.pdf I don't think any other community organisation gets a mention in the text like that. I'm happy! The booklet is great for other reasons. I like the way it lays out the number of serves of each food you need. I thought we were good vegie eaters, but we still need to eat more! If we ate the recommended amounts of normal foods, we wouldn't have room for much junk food... -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "...children should continue to be breastfed... for up to two years of age or beyond." -- Innocenti Declaration, Florence, 1 August 1990 |

DrRuth busily packing, thank goodness DS decided to have a morning nap which he never has anymore. |

T. Berry Brazelton's "Touchppoints" covers it all. But you asked for the
latest... I would still go with "Touchpoints". This unique book provides the best roadmap for peace -- whoops, wrong topic -- the best overview of the developing child of any book. A Brazelton book baby has good parents, period, even if the kid starts to turn out to become a louse. -- Daniel -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
