Editorial Review: Synopsis: "Eating Well When You're Expecting" provides mums-to-be with a realistic approach to navigating healthily and deliciously through the nine months of pregnancy - at home, in the office, at Christmas, in restaurants. Thorough chapters are devoted to nutrition, weight gain, food safety, the postpartum diet, and how to eat when trying to conceive again. And the book comes with 150 contemporary, tasty, and healthy recipes that feed mum and baby well, take little time to prepare, and are gentle on queasy tummies. At the heart of the book are hundreds of pressing questions every mother-to-be has: Is it true I shouldn't eat any food cooked with alcohol? Will the caffeine in coffee cross into my baby's bloodstream? I'm entering my second trimester, and I'm losing weight, not gaining - help! Is all sushi off limits? How do I get enough calcium if I'm lactose intolerant? I keep dreaming about a hot fudge sundae - can I indulge? The answer is yes! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - truly the most practical guideThis is a book to turn to for help on every aspect of parenting small children. It's well laid out, easy to find specific information, and concise without being dry. It covers everything from developmental stages, to healthy eating (including recipe ideas), childhood diseases, immunisation and first aid, helping your child develop ethics and good values. It's a hefty tome, reflecting a vast amount of knowledge gathered by the two authors over many years, and it was my crutch! You ... Read More: Rating: - Great referenceI refer to this monthly and periodically search for specific advice on issues. I wouldn't say it's the only book you need - it's fairly clinical in style and some issues are dealt with in an agony aunt style (quite briefly). I use it in conjunction with Pocket Parent and Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers. Between the 3 books I feel like a well informed and confident parent! Rating:  - Not nearly as good as 'what to expect, the first year''What to expect the first year' was THE most useful book we found when we had our first child, so we bought this follow up expecting the same valuable info. I don't know whether it's a reflection on how weak this second book is (or whether we're just more confident now that we've gained some parental experience) but we've barely dipped into this book. When we HAVE wanted to find out something, the book hasn't provided the information we've been looking for and to be honest we just ... Read More: Rating:  - Biased and full of misinformation, opinion presented as factThis must be one of the worst books on toddler parenting out there. Many of the 'facts' represented in this book are nothing but the author's own biased opinions. What is even worse is that a great many of these so-called facts are grossly misleading, and in many cases unscientific and false. One of the worst parts must be the section on extended breastfeeding and why one must absolutely wean at 1 year. This goes against the guidelines put forth by the World Health Organization (recommends ... Read More: Rating: - Good book for first time parentsI found this book to be an excellent reference for toddler development. I also think this book is great for first time parents as it clues us in on what our children should be doing at a particular age, as well as gives sound advice about handling some common issues. |
