By Lynn Alexander and Yeong Boon Yee

About the Book

Written especially for Asian parents by nutritionists who are themselves parents, Feed Your Child Right is a book that every parent, caregiver or parent-to-be should read. This practical guide provides relevant advice on how to ensure a healthy nutritional start in life for children, incorporating local eating habits and customs. It also includes useful sections on breastfeeding the newborn infant; common ailments and illnesses to help parents identify and spot the symptoms; and simple recipes for the baby’s first year. Also included are a selection of popular family recipes which have been modified to be healthier and more appealing to children.

“This is a long-awaited book… it is pretty comprehensive and should serve young mums well throughout their children’s growing years.”
