This practical guide to the problems of feeding and nutrition in both healthy and ill children represents the collective experience of a paediatrician and a paediatric dietitian who have worked together for a number of years. It contains sections on feeding problems in infants, food allergy and intolerance, problems related to unusual diets, healthy eating in childhood, obesity, and conditions requiring special diets. The authors aim to provide usable advice for health workers, junior doctors, dietitians and other professionals who may not be well acquainted with child nutrition.
