Publishers Text

Ten percent of American children are overweight by their fifth birthday, and over 15 percent between the ages of 6 and 19 are too heavy. Many more are at risk of joining the ranks of the nearly 60 percent of American adults who are overweight. New parents are left wondering how to keep their child from becoming a part of these grim statistics, but they often don't have a clear understanding of childhood obesity's root causes. Though many factors contribute to this growing problem, the most fundamental factor is also the hardest to change: the way we eat. In Baby Knows Best, Dr. Herbert Goldman draws from his 35 years of experience in childhood nutrition and obesity prevention to help parents over this hurdle. Through his proven, easy-to-follow methods, parents learn how to instill healthy eating patterns that stave off children's weight problems--not only while they're young but for life.
