In American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child'sNutrition, nutritionist William H. Dietz and pediatrician Loraine Sternhave written an authoritative, comprehensive resource for parentsconcerned about their children's nutrition.

3-0 out of 5 stars Just ok
I was excited about this book, but I have found that not much of it is relevant for the age of my little one (4 years old).They list a lot of good information for babies and a lot of good information for older kids, but the information for toddlers and preschoolers was lacking, in my opinion.

It has good tips on how to keep feeding time from becoming abattle and good tips on how to start your children out on the right trackto healthy eating.

The information on what NOT to feed your infant isalso extreemly important and could prevent many choking incidents! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Most Comprehensive Book for RD's
I found this book to be the most comprehensive compulation that I have come across in a long time. It was facinating. My fiends were laughing at me for reading it nightly before I went to bed. Then again I am a dietitian to the core. The chapters were full of facts you just can't find anywhere. The charts and appendicies were equally helpful. As a dietitian for Early Intervention is is nice to have ONE book you can look to for information about some of these really rare metabolic disorders.
The author was readily available to answer any question.

A practical review of growth and nutrition for children with disabilities.Significant space is dedicated to nutritional evaluation in the beginning of the text.This is followed by many chapters for specific conditions that are found in the developmentally disabled pediatric population.The Appendices cover (but are not limited to) the RDA's and the RNI's, several condition specific growth charts, sample records and protocols, and quality assurance standards.If you work with this population you should have access to the Ekvall text. ...

Product Description
The field of pediatric nutrition has developed into an area essential to components of academic pediatric program throughout the world. Among the pediatric texts available, none deals with the physiologic or pathophysiologic basis of nutrition in pediatric health and disease in children of all ages. "Nutrition in Pediatrics, Fourth Edition", fills this void, extending physiologic and pathophysiologic considerations to their coverage of nutritional needs with respect to disease and covers diagnosis of nutritional imbalance and management as well. The 4th edition includes an entirely new section on pediatric obesity: epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment and treatment. It includes new chapters on celiac disease, food allergies and iron. This edition includes updated growth curves, including the newly released WHO growth curves for exclusively breastfed infants. It contains expanded and updated chapters on international nutrition, including protein energy malnutrition and community nutrition. This edition of this textbook continues to be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive and accessible approach to pediatric nutrition. Sections include basic concepts in the development of nutritional requirements of infants and children and a pathophysiology section examining cardinal manifestations and development. These sections will augment a comprehensive approach to perinatal nutrition, nutrition of specific disease states and nutritional management. ... Read more

Product Description
The poor nutritional status of the elderly living at home is a widespread problem. Many have energy and nutrient intakes below international standards. Almost one in five community-dwelling older adults lives on less than 1,000 kcal/day. The causes are dependent on sociological, psychological, and physiological factors. Significant reductions in energy intake accompany medical illness, and thus a causal connection between the role of proinflammatory cytokines and illness-induced undernutrition has been alleged.This challenge has now been addressed and analyzed by an international panel of leading experts at the 10th Nestl Nutrition Workshop in Berlin. Their work has brought the epidemiology, pathophysiology and the role of cytokines and immunomodulation in the management of undernutrition to the center of scholar attention. This book is a synthesis of state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise in this field of research and will be of high value for all medical and healthcare professio ... Read more

Product Description

For more than a decade, there has been no resource to guide the practitioner, trainee or allied health professional in this important field of pediatrics. These disorders are addressed every day with children admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care unit, inpatient units, day hospitals, surgical units (inpatient and ambulatory), emergency rooms or in the outpatient setting.

Fluid and Electrolytes in Pediatrics: A Comprehensive Handbook is a complete compendium of ready access information for pediatricians, family practitioners, residents, students and allied health professionals. The manual will be a "go to" source for tables or information on any aspect of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base metabolism for general pediatrics/ family practitioners/residents/medical students/nurses or the medical or surgical specialties.

In order to achieve the goal as the "THE" textbook in this discipline, each chapter of the book will be divided into the following areas: Definition and Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Causes, Treatment and Representative Scenarios. Case presentations/problems (6-10) to illustrate the key points within the chapter. The scenarios will attempt to cover the most common problems that present in pediatrics.

This book will have unique information with extensive tables, lists, and algorithms that detail clinical features of the entire spectrum of water metabolism, disorders of electrolytes, and disturbances in acid-base homeostasis by age (infants/newborns, children and adolescents) that is not available in any other textbook.

Product Description
There is no other time in life when the provision of appropriate nutrition is of greater importance than during infancy and childhood. During this phase of life, characterized by rapid growth and development, an adequate amount and composition of nutrients both in health and disease are of key importance for growth, functional outcomes such as cognition and immune response, and long-term well-being.To provide concise information to readers who seek quick guidance on practical relevant issues in the nutrition of infants, children and adolescents, the editors have developed this compact reference book as busy physicians and other healthcare professionals often find it difficult to devote sufficient time to study elaborate and extensive books on just one aspect of their practice. Moreover, due to the insightful input of a global editorial board, challenges both in affluent and poorer populations are addressed, thus providing a truly international perspective which further contributes to the unique worth of this book. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars great, easy, read
I am a senior medical student interested in Peds GI and got this book prior to my GI rotation. It is organized very well and provides great tables to organize and summarize the material in the chapters. It explains topics in easy-to-read manner with more than enough detail to understand Sx, mechanisms, etiologies, differentials, workups, and Tx without being burdensome or overwhelming.

In short, this book makes peds GI make sense.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
I am a third year resident looking towards a peds GI fellowship.This book contains much more than what is required by a peds. resident for thier GI rotation!The outline is easily accessible.I especially like the chapters on 'approach to ----protracted hypertransaminasemia",Liver transplant and Polyps in children to name a few.
Reading this book increased my fund of knowledge and consolidated my love for the field of pediatric gastroenterology.
Other larger text like Wyllie and Walker( two diff books) contain much more information.But if you need a book that is succinct, a quick/free flowing read and that delivers more than is needed for your peds GI rotation, then Dr Guandalini's book is preffered.

3-0 out of 5 stars Optimum Nutrition
Child nutrition is a regular discussion topic in great need of sound information. Hearing one of the authors speak on the radio made me so excited I immediately sought the book. Here was a book that would give practial advice on what foods were best for the developing brain. With much anticipation I received the book in New Zealand. Along with recognising behaviour traits it is filled with much thought provoking knowledge that can readily be applied. It is as practial as expected. My disillusionment came with all the instruction on the chemical supplements the authors think essential for brain development. These expensive additives are mainly excreted so can be wasteful. It was a surprise to see these recommended when I have always understood a diet of fresh food, fruit and vegetables were the best source of vitamins and minerals. Maybe it was written for countries where the food is not as natural as it looks. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good info but not much help with problems
I got this book while I was expecting my first child and it has plenty of useful information in it. It mostly seems geared toward making a case for breastfeeding, which I already was planning to do, so I found it a little overly enthusiastic. It is a very good intro to breastfeeding and the benefits but what I found, as soon as I had my baby, was that it really was no help for breastfeeding problems outside of the very most common issues. If someone was looking to this book and breastfeeding was offering challenges this book would make a new mom feel like a failure and that she must not be someone who could do it. I needed more help and ended up getting that from the La Leche League website and from a lactation consultant. I give it four stars because I think it unwittingly could discourage a new mom who is trying but lacks the support of a good social network that she can do it even if getting started is challenging. I also think that trying to convince breastfeeding past the first year is rather unrealistic and would not appeal to many people.

4-0 out of 5 stars Breastfeeding book
This book is small enough to fit in a pocket of the diaper bag for easy reference. It has a lot of information in it and a great read for expecting and new moms.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great purchase
I took a breastfeeding class and it was recommended to follow up with a good book. This book was on a list provided by the pediatrician I chose for my baby. So I ordered it and am almost finished reading it. It gives lots of helpful tips.

1-0 out of 5 stars Terrible Book
I bought this book before my first daughter was born. My milk supply was low with her and I went through hell trying to get my milk supply up (pumping, SNS, meds, lactation consultants...everything) but had to supplement her through the entire 9 months of breastfeeding when she weaned herself. I felt so inadequate and like a total failure as a mother. Since then I've met SO many women with a similar problems. Anyway, I pulled this book out again last night since I am starting to have similar supply problems with my 2nd, 3 month old daughter. What an awful book. The book does not address supply problems at all except for a couple of cursory comments and offers no real advice on the subject. It appears that the whole point of the book is to push breastfeeding propaganda through fear while purposely ignoring real problems to make breastfeeding seem easy. If you're a new mom, DO NOT GET THIS BOOK. If you do have problems, this book will only make you feel like you are going to make your children unhealthy and stupid if you can't breastfeed through puberty. A much, much more useful book is "The Nursing Mother's Companion". ... Read more
