Product Description
Restore "peas and harmony" to the dining table with this comprehensive guide to building successful childhood feeding strategies. Focus is placed on the food-fight challenges parents are most likely to face—such as starting babies on solid foods, dealing with picky eaters, and making healthy food choices in child-care settings and restaurants—and a wide range of winning solutions are offered. More than a simple nutrition guide, this book also addresses the behavior and development issues surrounding the feeding challenges of early childhood. With a family-sized serving of useful advice and a generous helping of humor, this resource offers invaluable food for thought and real world advice that parents can use every day.

 Food Fights - a book for mommys of picky eaters August 13, 2008
Jennifer Truong (Boston MA)
Great reference for all parents. Written by two pediatrician mommys and addresses many of the common questions that overtired parents are too overwhelmed to look up. Very common sense strategies for dealing with various phases of food struggles.
A Great Book for any New Parent, a great resource for pediatricians to suggest May 9, 2008
Scott Iwashyna (Richmond, Va)
As a pediatrician and a new parent, I found "food fights" extremely helpful. It is a quicks read that gives practical information to parents about topics that stress us all out. I have started recommending this book to parents at all of our early well-child checks. It helps parents find answers to everyday feeding questions without having to call or wait for the next appointment, or feel like they are reading a textbook.
Food Fights is a Knockout! The perfect baby shower gift! April 28, 2008
J. Grimes (Austin, TX)
Food Fights is practical, funny, down to earth instruction book that all parents should read- preferably when their kids are young, so they will grow up with life-long healthy eating habits. This book reads like your best girlfriend chatting with you about shared challenges with your kids, not like some ivory-towered medical advice from doctors with no kids. What other book addresses the "5 Second Rule"? It's obvious both authors have first hand experience with real life "food fights"- and this is a fabulous way to share their combined "mommy" and "doctor" knowledge. Make this your standard baby shower gift- especially for the second kid in a family, because this gift will last far longer than a cute outfit.
Informative and easy to read March 24, 2008
D. Alan E. Johnson (Wilder, VT USA)
This book is a great overview of all things food related. Drs. Shu and Jana do an excellent job of addressing topics as varied as introducing foods, ensuring adequate veggie intake, food on the road, and brushing, all in an easy to read format (which is critical for most busy parents!) The book made me realize how little veggies my son eats (sadly) and how I've been slacking on offering them to him. They do a great job of covering topics and offering suggestions without making you feel like a bad parent. I'd definitely recommend the book for anyone who has to feed children!
