Infant, Child and
Adolescent Nutrition

A practical handbook

Judy More

An evidence-based and practical guide spanning pre-natal nutrition through to adolescent
nutrition, Infant, Child and Adolescent Nutrition provides an introduction to theory with
practical applications for students, nutritionists, and professionals in the community.

The book begins with a discussion of nutritional requirements, balanced diet, and social
and cultural influences on food choices. It then provides a balanced eating pattern for
each age group, covering expected growth patterns, development affecting eating and
drinking skills, and common problems such as reflux in infants, fussy eaters in the toddler
years, and eating disorders and pregnancy in the teenage years. Chapters highlight
common problems and disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and food intolerances, that
can occur at any stage throughout childhood. They then cover nutritional support in the
community, reflecting the increasing numbers of chronically sick children who are now
managed in the primary care setting.

• Refers specifically to WHO recommendations and current UK guidelines
• Includes case studies, key points, and activities to help readers learn
• Provides meal planners for nurseries and schools

With everything you need to know in one book, this is essential reading for students on a
range of nutrition and health care courses. It will also be a useful reference for all those
responsible for the nutritional health of children in primary care and community settings.
