Ellyn Satter is an authority on feeding and eating, whether it's your newborn or yourself or anything in between.  I started reading her book, Child of Mine when I was pregnant to prepare for breastfeeding.  Then I read it religiously when I introduced solids.  And I use it today for feeding my toddler.  Her ideas make sense and they are easy to implement.  I never want food to be an issue that complicates my child's life.  Ellyn Satter's guidelines give me a foundation on which to guide my daughter to healthy habits.

I am a fan of Ellyn Satter too. Her book 'How to Get Your Kid to Eat, But Not Too Much" helped me get through a medical crisis that had feeding complications. I love her division of responsibility: you as a parent decide what and when, and your child is responsible for how much and even if they will eat.

I agree, I found it very sensible.
