Summary: A solid confidence builder!
Comment: Children are resilient but this book presents ideas which can make a big positive impact on their relationships with you, other people, and food throughout their lifetime. Admittedly, in my case, she is preaching to the choir, and I am simply thrilled with how she weaves seemingly disparate results of various studies into a comprehensive view of feeding as an activity which is important emotionally and developmentally. She doesn't talk about eating in isolation but rather links it to playtime, sleep and wakefulness etc. She addresses both the average child and children that she describes as vulnerable to well-meaning but misguided parents (e.g. preemies, small babies, fat babies). While many books include growth charts, this book is the only one I've seen which explains in detail how babies normally progress through these charts and how to interpret deviations from the norm.
Having glanced at one of Satter's older books, her writing style seems to be more concise now which is good because the book is already hefty enough even though it only elaborates on the more contentious topics. The organizational flow is good and she repeats her main messages often so that it is possible to read the chapters in isolation.
Although it is current only to sometime around its print date (2000), the general info relayed is consistent with the more recent changes in the pediatric practices I've experienced and the other books that I've read. She hasn't updated the breastfeeding chapter, preferring instead to refer people to say "The Nursing Mother's Companion". It seems very even-handed about how it presents both breastfeeding and formula-feeding. Making that choice secondary to the feeding relationship itself.
To sum it all up, she has done her homework and she is providing a valuable public service in presenting her life's work in this book. I initially had a library copy and am now purchasing multiple copies for myself and as gifts to friends who present concerns to me that are answered by this book!
p.s. on a more humorous note, it reminds me of the intent of the book "Good Owners, Great Cats". In this case, if you improve the parenting, the kid will shine!

Summary: Child of Mine
Comment: I bought this book because I work with families who are struggling to parent their children effectively. I needed information to assist their parenting skills. This book had the most comprehensive collection of data, including lactose intolerance that I have found. It is easy for me to understand and therefore will help me with my work journeying with these parents.

Summary: Changed my thinking on how to feed my baby
Comment: This book was recommended by my daughter's pediatrician after I started to worry about her gaining enough weight as she was born extremely premature. It is full of useful, practical advice and common sense on how to encourage good feeding habits in your children. I found this particularly useful as I don't want to pass my own bad feeding habits onto my kids. Only after reading this book did I realise how important feeding is as I was originally only concerned about what I fed my baby and not how I fed her.
She is thriving and enjoying learning to eat by herself and we are much happier and more relaxed parents now that we are following Ellen Satter's simple advice for feeding children.
All new parents should read this book.

Summary: A must read for every parent!
Comment: Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense
A must read for any parent! I was fortunate to read this book before my first child arrived. I followed Ellyn's division of responsibility in regards to feeding and I have had zero feeding issues with my first daughter (now 2 ½ years-old). I watch my friends struggle with the whole "take another bite" and "mmmm, yummy, yummy" routine and I am proud to say I have never resorted to these tactics. My daughter eats like a champ. You can bet I am following these guidelines with daughter number two (5 months-old). You need to get rid of your preconceptions and learn to trust your child!
