FEEDING BABY GREEN:
The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition
During Pregnancy, Childhood, and Beyond
By Alan Greene, M.D.

What if you could teach your baby healthy eating habits before he or she even left the womb? What if you could provide nourishment to your toddler that’s both nutritionally and environmentally sound? And what if you could influence the types of food your child will crave and choose into adulthood?

Not only is it possible to teach nutritional intelligence to young children, but, as Dr. Alan Greene asserts, it’s also imperative that parents capitalize on this small window of opportunity to shape their tastes. By the age of two, most American children are already accustomed to a diet of a processed food; many get only minimal servings of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains each day. The time is right for a radical yet fun, intuitive, and delicious change in the way most Americans feed their babies.

Called the “Al Gore of Parenting”, Dr. Greene is the author of Raising Baby Green, the ground-breaking, multi-award-winning parenting book that launched the green baby movement. Now, in FEEDING BABY GREEN: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy, Childhood, and Beyond (Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint; October 2009; $16.95/Paper; ISBN: 978-0-470-42524-4), Dr. Greene introduces a simple, research based prescription for teaching mothers how to nourish themselves throughout pregnancy, how to feed their babies during the early years of development, and how to insure their kids develop healthy habits for the rest of their lives.

This must-have resource shares:

• How a pregnant mom can shape her child’s eating habits before birth.
• The best foods for babies and toddlers, whether parents prefer pre-made foods or are willing to spend one hour a week making their own delicious, healthy and nutritional food.
• Strategies to resist pervasive media advertising and the fast-food culture that influences children’s poor eating habits.
• Several tasty, easy-to-prepare recipes for the whole family that will train kids’ eating habits from before birth to the toddler years and beyond.

Dr. Greene’s easy-to-follow program in FEEDING BABY GREEN helps parents to instill in their children the lifelong ability to recognize and enjoy healthy amounts of healthy food. It will stand out amongst the plethora of new books for parents, pediatricians, teachers, consumers, and environmentalists by providing an accessible and astute welcome to the green baby revolution.
