Books by the Real Food Moms
Everything you need to know about feeding your child well
We are living in the first age in modern history in which we as parents can expect to have longer lifespans than our children. The indicators are clear: our nation's children are in a health crisis and much of the problem can be directly linked to what and how we are feeding them. Now more than ever it is vital to provide new parents with clear, practical nutritional information and guidelines that can help them set their children up for a lifetime of healthy eating. Jeannette Bessinger and Tracee Yablon-Brenner, the Real Food Moms, have taken up this challenge with their upcoming books:
