About this product
This textbook, 'Feeding Infants and Children from Birth to 24 Months', published by National Academies Press in 2020, summarizes existing guidance on pediatric nutrition.

It's an essential resource for medical professionals and caregivers seeking evidence-based feeding recommendations for young children.
Our take
I'm a pediatric dietitian, and this book is a comprehensive summary of current feeding guidelines for infants and young children. It's well-organized and packed with evidence-based information. The only issue is that it's a textbook, so it's dense and not a light read. It's also from 2020, which may be slightly outdated given how quickly nutrition science evolves. But for a solid foundation, it's excellent. At $25, it's a bargain for the depth of content. If you need a reliable reference for infant feeding, this is a great addition to your library.
