Review Quotes

"Weaning Sense will empower parents to approach mealtimes with confidence. The principles contained in this approach create a greater understanding of each child as an individual. As a pediatrician in private practice for some years now, the importance of optimal nutrition in the first 1001 days has become an increasingly important topic. More so now than ever before, the incidence of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, ADHD and constipation, to mention a few, is reaching epidemic proportions. This is a global problem, and for that reason I am eternally grateful to Kath and Meg for taking the time to bring out this book. Too much has been written and too much has already been said ... with little/no scientific thought or evidence." -- Dr Ashley Wewege, MBChb (UCT), FCPaed (SA), MBA (UCT), Specialist Paediatrician, Fellow of the College of Paediatricians of South Africa

"I would recommend this book for all new parents who are embarking on the transition to solids. I love the way the authors incorporate key developmental principles, in a way that is easy to understand and relate to." -- Claudia M. Gold, MD, Pediatrician Consultant in Human Development, Austen Riggs Center, Adjunct Faculty William James College, University of Massachusetts, Boston Infant-Parent Mental Health Program
