Mummy I'm Hungry: A practical guide to child nutrition

About the Book

Mummy, I'm Hungry As a young mother, how often yur hear these words for mealtimes can be the most challenging time for any mother, and feeding an infant or toddler calls for more than just preparing any ordinary meal. It requires imagination to prepare meals that are both tasty and nutritious. Since the health and growth of your child depend largely on nutritious meals, what, how and when to feed your child are of special significance.

The infant's diet also calls for a slow transition from mother's milk to a liquid diet, from liquids to semi-solids, from semi-solids to a soft diet, finally culminating in normal family meals. The book outlines this transition with meticulous care. The recipes chosen are wholesome, covering a variety of food in order to develop their taste buds. They are easy to prepare and based on homemade ingredients - unlike market food that contains harmful preservatives and additives. Alternatives are given at the end of each recipe. Not only does this book provide guidelines for lifelong healthy food habits, developed in the child's formative years, it ensures delicious meals for the child with a growing appetite.
