  1. The Children's Nutrition Blog: Introduction to picky eating

    Picky eating. It's one of those poorly-defined, catch-all terms that spans toddlers who subsist solely on potato chips and bottles of formula, to kids whose only sin is to shirk the green vegetable on their dinner plate.

  2. Eat well, be well...

    by , 01-08-2012 at 07:08 (Searching to make mum's life easier)
    Disappointed with only a 200gram loss at the last weigh in, this week has been all about nutrition, as I'm sure it is snacks (and willpower!) that are letting me down.

    I've never paid much attention to nutrition previously... I'd eat well, enjoy my food, and not really worried myself with the details.

  5. The Children's Nutrition Blog: Does breastfeeding really raise peanut allergy risk?

    Splashed across the news today was a study from the Australian National University that reported a statistical link between breastfeeding and nut allergy, particularly peanut allergy. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months got an especially bad rap from the study authors, according to media reports. “Breast feeding... may, in fact, be causative of allergy”, the study authors have concluded.
