Biographical Note: --Library Journal "The field of nutritional science, like parenting, is filled with many who think they're experts and give plenty of advice but often lack the credentials to do so. And when it comes to feeding your baby, the stakes are high. This is where Dr. Avena steps in: she is a true expert in the field of nutritional science with a scientist's mind and a mother's heart. This book is a must-read for any parent who cares about good nutrition!" --Jennifer Ashton, MD, MA, ob-gyn, nutritionist, and chief medical correspondent for ABC News "What a fantastic resource for new parents! If you want to give your baby the best opportunity to grow and develop, this book makes it very easy to navigate the confusing world of feeding, while giving you the confidence to know you are providing your little love with the best possible start to life." --Tina Muir, professional runner, mom, and founder of Running for Real " What to Feed your Baby and Toddler is a welcome and hype-free resource for caregivers who crave a practical guide to healthy eating. Health coaches like me recognize that establishing good eating habits from an early age helps little ones develop healthy food preferences that can last a lifetime. Dr. Avena's book also showcases wholesome recipes that can be enjoyed by the whole family--they are as delicious as they are nutritious. What to Feed your Baby and Toddler offers guidance backed by science and real-world experience, encouraging parents to approach the family table with confidence and joy." --Karen K.

This book doesn't stop there--it moves one step further by providing simple and delicious recipes based on current knowledge of what is best, and not best, for infants and toddlers." --Dr. Alycia Halladay, chief science officer at the Autism Science Foundation "Mounting evidence supports the crucial role that early nutrition plays in a baby's growth and development.

Dr. Avena is a first-class scientist in the field of harmful processed foods. Her skill at evaluating research and bridging it to practical and beneficial use is readily apparent in the structure of the advice. I would strongly recommend this book to parents. -- Joan Ifland, PhD, editor of Processed Food Addiction: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery "Dr. Nicole Avena has done it again!
