Review

''Having started reading this book, leaving it for long became difficult until I read to the last page. This is really a great informative handbook for all mothers feeding their toddlers and infants. I wish I had read it before now, but since there is always a second chance, I am making the best nutrition choices for my toddlers from now on. I strongly recommend this book for all mums of toddlers, pregnant women and especially first-time mums. It is one of the best gifts you can bless yourself or a loved one with.''-- Agbele Olusola, Mother
