My Child Won’t Eat
A delivery of new stock is expected soon
Parents everywhere worry when their baby or toddler doesn't seem to eat as much as they think he should. Carlos González, a paediatrician and father, sets those fears to rest as he explores the reasons why a child refuses food, the pitfalls of growth charts, and the ways that growth and activity affect a child's calorific needs. He discusses how eating problems start and how they can be avoided.
My Child Won't Eat includes mothers' stories of the struggles they have gone through in trying to get their children to eat. Carlos González reassures parents that children know how much they need to eat and explains why a parent's only involvement should be in providing healthy food choices. Forcing a child to eat more than he needs can only lead to tears, tantrums and, eventually, possibly even obesity.
Questions Carlos González answers include:
- Why won’t my child eat?
- How much does a child need to eat?
- Why don’t children like vegetables?
- What does it mean to breastfeed on demand?
- When should my baby start to eat solid foods?

"Even if you're not concerned that 'My Child Won't Eat' this book is well worth a read. It gives a fascinating history on infant feeding practices which is really eye opening and overall the book is so reassuring and interesting that it would make a good addition to any parent's bookshelf."
"Full of common sense and very reassuring. I would recommend to read this first and then the Baby led weaning one to go through the process of introducing solids with no doubts or concerns."
