Got from my MIL as a not-so-subtle hint that she would be doing all of these things if she were raising my boys, so I should, too. Several good suggestions, but overall I got the feeling that doing all of the things he insists on as being essential would be absolutely impossible. So much so that it makes me want to give up and purposely do something not green. The emotional equivalent of hearing the hopelessly high standards of a nutrition seminar (of course you'll make all your own baby food fr...more
this book has a lot of good ideas, and i like that it is well researched and he lists all his sources. i had read somewhere that a lot of the eating advice we have now is pretty much based on guesswork - he gives the research to back up his claims. it is a bit over the top for me personally with some of the green part of it, though i would *like* to be better about all that. anyway, got a lot of good ideas. great to read actually before you get pregnant, but great information at any time rea...more
This is a great resource for expecting and new parents who want to give their baby the best start possible. It's filled with stories, recipes, and tips along with the hard hitting, scientifically based feeding system that Dr. Greene recommends.
The title is off-putting to some. This isn't just a "green" book. It's really for all new parents.

This book was pretty much what I expected, only there was this totally insane list of all these different foods I was supposed to eat during pregnancy. Too bad the only things I could keep down were cheese, milk, and grapes--it really cut back on my amaranth consumption.
The section on toddlers was pretty short. Apparently I'm supposed to keep offering my toddler healthy foods. That's about it.

Great book for anyone with a baby, expecting, or thinking about conceiving. Following Dr. Greene's simple instructions, you can teach your baby to love healthy amounts of healthy foods by age two -- setting your child on a lifetime journey of good nutrition.
The book "Feeding Baby Green," written by well-known pediatrician Dr. Alan Greene is an excellent book. Dr Greene manages to provide a simple approach to healthful eating that starts during pregnancy. All of my questions were answered regarding how I will meet my goal of having chilren who enjoy and prefer healthy foods.

Still reading but so far very happy - up to date information on several studies I've learned about in the last few years, touches on areas of concern (allergies, artificial colors, GM foods, BPA, etc.) Seems thorough, impressed thus far & plan to check out when baby starts solids.

Mostly common sense and information you can find on parenting websites but it's a good book on the subject.
Doesn't spend a lot of time trying to convince you of it's cause and addresses the issues of individuality in nutritional needs.

I won this book on Goodreads! I already knew most of the information presented in this book from previous research on this topic. For Mom's who are interested in feeding their babies (and themselves) a healthy diet this would be a good place to start.
An interesting book to read if you want to rainse your child on natural foods Show how it is better to get a child used to eating healthy fooks from day one.
Not a bad guide to learning some basic facts about nutrition for baby. Could have more info about specific foods and the best way to prepare them for baby.
Lots of good information! Will be passing it on to my son and daughter-in-law who will be feeding our new grandson. They plan to make their own baby food, trying to stick with organically grown produce and meats.
So the book will come in handy.

Good overview and starting point for feeding solid food (it additionally covers pregnancy, the first 4-6 months and toddler years).
This book gives so much great advice about how to influence your child's eating habits, even starting during pregnancy. Lots of explanation of reality - it's not going to be easy - but with plenty of strategies that could apply not only to getting them to eat well, but just dealing with them in general. The tone is firm but gentle and loving. I really want to raise a kid with healthy eating habits since it can influence lifelong health so much. I think this book will be invaluable.
I entered this contest hoping to win the book for my sister-in-law who was pregnant at the time. She is a very Earth Friendly woman who I know will be raising my niece as such. Thanks so much!!!

This book was good but I didn't learn much new. It could probably be summarized by saying feed your baby what you are eating and eat foods that are healthy/organic.
