Fearless Feeding: How to Raise Healthy Eaters From High Chair to High School

Fearless Feeding is truly valuable resource for anyone who is responsible for feeding children. The book is loaded with proven strategies for raising healthy eaters, based in nutrition science and in child development. The childhood development piece is especially helpful because it helps parents know what's "normal" and what isn't. My major takeaway was the importance of modeling the eating behaviors you wish to see in your child(ren). The book helps adults understand where their own beliefs and habits around food came from and how to become better eating role models.

Fearless feeding is the best book on child feeding and nutrition out there (and I have a lot of books!) I use this book regularly in my own pediatric nutrition practice as a reference and also recommend to any client, friend or family member that asks me about my favorite resource. This book covers the whole age spectrum but also links the nutrition AND feeding component together, which is critical for children. I recommend this book to any parent that wants to raise healthy children, but also to other nutrition professionals that want to learn more about feeding kids!

I ordered this to help me figure out how to feed my kids. But, I don't have time to read this as I am too busy cooking a variety of dishes that my children will complain about and never eat. Basically they like chicken nuggets - they are happy about it and I just need to get over it.

Informative not only in dealing with the eating habits of my children, but also in processing unhealthy habits established during my own childhood.

This book is my new go-to baby present. It is a must-have for any parent, regardless of age of their child, whether they have a picky eater or not, or whether they think they know about nutrition and feeding or not. It's got a ridiculous amount of incredible, easy-to-digest, research-backed guidance on making meals positive, healthy. fun family experiences while ensuring kids of all ages get the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. I've followed co-author Maryann Jacobson's feeding advice (and blog) since my first child was born several years ago, and I credit her guidance to the fact that I never worry whether my kids are eating enough, getting a wide enough nutritional variety, or developing an unhealthy relationship with food. This book is gold, because it takes the best of the blog plus adds a ton of new content, easy-to-use reference charts and guides. I will keep it handy and reference it regularly until my children are out of the house.

I give this as a gift when I attend baby showers! Throw it together with a few eating-related items off the registry and i always hear positive comments when the new mothers start feeding their babies. As a dietitian, I enjoy reading from these authors and value their approach in this book.

I am a dietitian specializing in pediatric nutrition and I have been looking for a book like this one for a while. I have been following the work of the authors who are both well recognized in pediatric nutrition field and could not wait for the book to appear on bookshelves. And I definitely was not disappointed! It is so helpful to see all the recent research I have been relying in my work in one place. The book is so well researched and practical that I am sure it will become a go-to-resource for many families. I especially like the comprehensive approach the authors use when talking about kids nutrition. I found from my own experience that the information on What to feed our kids is often easier to find both on the internet and in books. But what is often missing from many resources are the "why' and "how" aspects of feeding. In other words, parents are aware of nutritional guidelines but need help with evidence based guidelines on how to get their kids to eat nutritious food based on understanding why they behave in certain ways around the table. I keep recommending it to my colleagues, interns and all parents I know. Another thing I love about this book is how practical it is, with numerous case studies, Fearless Tips and super easy basic recipes helping parents put all the recommendations to practice immediately.

Great book! It’s broken down by age and also gives practical guidance on adult eating habits. This was recommended to me by a coworker who is a Dietitian. Highly recommend.

Came recommended by a paediatric dietician to me. So glad I picked this up.

My go to resource for everything food related.

Very helpful and informative!
