Praise For…


 

Diane's great book should be in every parent's hands! There is no other reference for helping parents understand the connection between feeding, speech, and mouth development. Finally a comprehensive, invaluable resource with the practical information parents need for one of their top parenting concern: successful feeding.

"What an informative book! Whether you are searching for everyday activities you can
use to encourage your child's feeding, speech, and mouth development, or you are interested in exploring the mechanics of these skills, this is great resource, filled with nuggets for parents and professionals."

Dr. Debra Jervay-Pendergrass, Linguist, Speech-Language Pathologist, Early Language-Literacy Consultant, and Director of the "First Stories" Project 



 

If you find the introduction fascinating - wait till you read the book! Infant feeding and normal development is my specialty, so it's nice to see a book that helps all children achieve good feeding and eating skills.  The strategies to assist bottle feeders are long over due - since about 1975.  There are still some health professionals who think that books for parents are 'not for them' - this one will teach everyone something.
