description: The majority of our eating and drinking skills are developed in the first two years of life. Parents can help with this process by using appropriate feeding techniques from birth. Every three months from birth, your baby will have a growth spurt in the area of feeding. Parents often receive very little instruction on ways to feed their children, yet good eating and drinking skills encourage the best mouth development and set up patterns for life. This book reveals secrets for better breast and bottle feeding, and feeding development for babies from birth to the toddler years.

This is an all encompassing book, from development to food to teeth to where your child should be at which age this is a great book and tool for any parent!!

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

As a mother of 3 young children (the youngest 6 months old), I found this book extremely helpful and enlightening. I am excited to come back to it at each developmental stage to go through the developmental checklists and help make sure they have appropriately met each item. Bahr has laid the material out so intuitively and fluidly that it was extremely enjoyable and easy to read.

I learned a lot of new things from this book and really liked how she covered both breastfeeding and bottle fed babies. While I breastfeed during the first year, I know many mothers are not able to or choose not to. Fortunately, this resource is just as applicable to them. She covers appropriate feeding positions for both and details what can go wrong during feedings and why.

The book was unexpectedly, though pleasantly, more science oriented than I anticipated. While I thought it would detail more what to feed your baby, it actually specifically indicated HOW and what to do to avoid various problems, including but not limited to: sleep disordered breathing, reflux, sinus and ear problems and picky eating later.

Citing is used appropriately throughout and the book seems very well researched.

Definitely a great essential for any momma!

This book is great for new parents, that tend to get conflicting information from various sources. This book is easily just as good, if not better, than those What to Expect books.
