Product Description
Confused about feeding your baby or kid? Child of Mine, by noted nutritionist Ellyn Satter, is an essential guide for every new parent concerned with nutrition and appetite. Satter’s advice is thorough and straightforward: “You can’t control or dictate the amount of food your child eats, and you shouldn’t try. You also can’t control or dictate the kind of body your child develops, and you shouldn’t try. What you can do, and it is a fantastic deal, is set things up for your child so she, herself, can regulate her food intake as well as possible, and so she can renovate a healthy body that is constitutionally right for her.”
Child of Mine provides information on all aspects of feeding, from pregnancy through the kid years. Satter starts with past and social perspectives on infant feeding, describing how formula was developed and discussing the social movement that lead to long-suffering a child’s input into his or her own development. Nutrition during pregnancy, infant feeding, introducing levelheaded foods, building positive eating relationships, and avoiding eating disorders are all discussed. The sections on breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, and on the regulation of food intake (particularly the relationship between parental attitudes and children’s eating habits) are especially recommended.
Satter provides point nutritional information (including charts, diagrams, and nutritional breakdowns) interspersed with a no-nonsense, veteran perspective that will help you set up excellent eating habits that your children will benefit from long after they’re out of diapers. –Ericka Lutz

The main message of this book is that parents should not try to control and stress over their children’s feeding practices. Babies (and toddlers) are pretty well regulated and know what and how much to eat. The parent’s job is simply to provide a variety of healthy and nutritious foods and ensure a pleasant mealtime atmosphere. The rest is up to the child.
I wholeheartedly agree with this premise–parents should not try to hoax babies into eating or to restrict a rotund kid’s diet. I reflect that most of the additional nutritional advice in the book is valid as well–that we should not attempt to mold out children’s bodies into a media-dictated “perfect” form, that eating meat and drinking whole milk is essential, and that the occasional piece of candy is not the end of the world.
The reason I felt compelled to write this review is that to a lot of attachment parents this is superfluous information. They already know they should work with, rather than control their children. The division of responsibilities comes naturally to them. And, even though the book offers a very gentle, very child-let approach to feeding, it is far less understanding in additional aspects of child rearing. For example, it highly recommends the Ferber technique of sleep training–reading through these pages might be painful for gentler parents.
In fleeting–the book offers valid information on feeding, but this information is superfluous to people who already practice an instinctive and gentle parenting.

although this book had lots of information i needed more direction and actual meal thoughts to get ongoing.

It alarmed me that this book puts the weaning information in the 6 to 12 months section. Doesn’t the leader know that the AAP recommends breastfeeding for at least a year, and that the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for two years,with no recommended weaning age? I marvel if the leader simply ignored that information and included her own opinions about how long a child should nurse as a replacement for of actual facts.

I did not like this book. A name with an infant cannot find time to sit down and read a novel. We need something fleeting and to the point. I was very disappointed in this book.
