3.0 out of 5 stars Not great as a weaning starter book, 13 Mar 2008
By Ms. Tamara M. Shand "tshand22" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Though this book created more problems for me when I was first weaning I found it a useful reference when my daughter was ten months old.
The material is not organised in a way that makes it easy to find what you need to know when you are starting out. I felt I had to become an expert on nutrition before I could begin which made the weaning process stressful.
This is a good read. The book was last updated in 2003 and thus there is no mention of aromatase inhibitors for the treatment of hormone sensitive tumours and other advances in treatment over the last five years. Time for another update I think.

I found this book compulsive reading... Why? I want to know ALL facts about nutrition because now I am responsible for another human being. In today's society I think many parents worry about the effects modern life styles are having on our children's health. Having always been suspicious about the food industry and it's emphasis on profit this book has opened my eyes to some things that I realise I am able to be in control of.
An incredibly informative reference of what is deemed to be a healthy diet. And not in a patronising way either. All facts are layded on the table and if you choose to digest them you will be surprised at how much more confident you are with your children and their eating habits. (Any parent will tell you, it is ... Read More:

This book is completely focused on women & female hormonal issues. If you suffer from PMS, take HRT or are going through the menopause, then this book is for you. The book discusses only oestrogen & progesterone. However, females also carry the male hormone testosterone, but there was no mention or discussion of this, or how an excess of testosterone in women could be managed. The author provides some good meal ideas - but no recipes are included.

This book is fabulous and positive just what you need.
As a first time bump bearer, I had no idea what I had let myself in for. There are so many books on the subject of pregnancy it becomes impossible to know which book to choose.
Suzannah Olivier concentrates on both the benefits of good eating and things to do to make pregnancy easier. Once read, you soon realise that at only 200 pages long (a good thing if you are busy getting used to the idea of having a baby!) it covers all the essential information for pre-pregnancy, the different stages which you go through and what is happening to you and your baby. I bought five books whilst pregnant and only regularly used this one. It also is the perfect present for someone else who ... Read More:

Broken into 4 main chapters, this book provides an excellent analysis of why allergies are so prevalent in Britain today & what can be done to address or combat them, using diet. I learnt a lot about my own allergies by reading the book, and have been able to reduce my use of medication as a result. With special sections on children's allergies, I think that any parent would find the book useful to address their children's allergies without resorting to medication. The book looks at asthma, eczema, migraines, bowel disorders, food allergies, rhinitis, hives and psoriasis in particular, and also looks at issues like stress.
The strategies included in the book can be followed by anyone, and the food graphs assist in planning or eliminating certain ... Read More:
