 Good concepts, lacking on nutrition for infants
I like the basic concepts of this book. I think we can improve our immunity with choices that we make with nutrition, etc. However, I don't agree with the advice of rice, barley cereals being the first choice for foods other than breast milk. If you look at the childs digestive system, it is very weak and immature. These cereals are only going to smother the digestion causing inflammation. I like to start with puree of white root vegeatables.
All of this said, I do own the book and encourage parents to read it and begin to think with these concepts.

Finally, some answers!
Everyone knows how vague pediatritions can be as far as nutritional recommendations. This book was such a relief to read. It is a guideline for daily nutrition as well as a reference for "sick days". It is specific regarding amounts of dairy, vegetables, fruit, meat, and supplements in a child's diet. It is very easy to read and is sectioned off so you can refer back to certain time periods in a child's development (pregnancy, baby, toddler, school-age, etc..) In addition to his knowledgable chapters on dietary recommendations, he includes a chapter of recipes to implement his suggestions. I have tried some of these recipes with great success. I highly recommend the pancake recipe! My son has not been ill as of yet and his digestion has improved greatly! I am so happy I purchased this book and I would not only recommend it, but buy it for any of my expecting girlfriends!

 Comment on Jaundice and breastfeeding ( mn_dave4 )
HI, I was just browsing through this book online and I came across the paragraph on jaundice and breastfeeding. This information was supremely inaccurate on this particular subject. The book says that breastfeeding makes jaundice worse and that you will have to stop nursing for your child to be cured of it. I am a very well read La Leche league member and breastfeeding is well known to reverse jaundice by helping your baby to excrete the bilirubin build up. The more often you nurse the faster your baby gets rid of the dead red blood cells. It is the best treatment for jaundice despite was this book says. Stopping brestfeeding during the crucial first weeks is dangerous for your baby's nutrition and immunity and bad for mom in terms of losing your milk supply and suffering engorgement or mastitis. Other than that topic I didn't read the rest of the book so it may otherwise be a good book.
