A book I’ve been singing the praises of lately is “My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus: Raising Children Who Love to Eat Everything” – a witty read that reminds parents how fun introducing kids to a variety of new delicious foods can be.<br />http://www.mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus.com/ <br /><br />Kaylee, please peruse my BlogAboutSeafood for tasty recipes. A good place to start is adding seafood (shrimp or tuna for example) to recipes you already love like pasta, quesadillas, or pizza.<br />http://www.aboutseafood.com/health-nutrition/blog-about-seafood <br /><br />Jennifer McGuire, MS, RD<br />National Fisheries InstituteJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659883790712724318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079252808125078929.post-49372969514889738892010-02-01T18:28:17.755-08:002010-02-01T18:28:17.755-08:00I really wish I would have started enjoying sea fo...I really wish I would have started enjoying sea food as a baby... then maybe I would like it now. I have tried numerous times to eat it, but I just don't enjoy it. So many people have told me I just have to have it prepared correctly, but so far I have not found that recipe. If you have any suggestions for me, I would appreciate it! Fish have so many health benefits and its a great way to get protein.<br /><br />Kaylee O'Connell<br />Intern with Mitzi Dulan, America's Nutrition Expert<br />http://nutritionexpert.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692040308315702699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079252808125078929.post-62554885256682525192010-01-22T12:09:25.699-08:002010-01-22T12:09:25.699-08:00Thanks so much for your comments, Melissa--you'...Thanks so much for your comments, Melissa--you'll be glad to know I'm still taking my supplements!<br /><br /><br />Kris-I agree!

Thank you for providing such a well info...Robin,<br /><br />Thank you for providing such a well informed post. As you can attest, pregnancy is a life changing event in so many wonderful ways. There is perhaps no better time for proper nutrition and health to take top priority for both mother and child. In the health profession, we view pregnancy as a “teachable moment”, or simply a mother's opportunity to channel her love for child into a lifetime of positive lifestyle choices. I love that you’ve embraced the occasion and are introducing Benjamin to the benefits of healthy eating at such a young age!<br /><br />Here at the International Food Information Council Foundation, we’ve developed many educational materials that pregnant and breastfeeding women may find helpful. Check out our brochures: <em><a title="http://www.foodinsight.org/Content/6/RevisedHealthyEatingPregnancy809.pdf" href="http://www.foodinsight.org/Content/6/RevisedHealthyEatingPregnancy809.pdf" rel="nofollow">Healthy Eating During Pregnancy</a> </em>and <em><a title="http://www.foodinsight.org/Content/6/FINAL%20Seafood%20and%20Pregnancy.pdf" href="http://www.foodinsight.org/Content/6/FINAL%20Seafood%20and%20Pregnancy.pdf" rel="nofollow">For Good health, Go Fish</a></em> and be sure to stop by <a title="http://www.foodinsight.org/Home.aspx" href="http://www.foodinsight.org/Home.aspx" rel="nofollow">foodinsight.org</a> for much more information on all things nutrition!<br /><br /><br />Kris Sollid, RD<br />Manager of Nutrients<br />International Food Information CouncilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303400633369878721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079252808125078929.post-65754334052141729742010-01-19T18:18:58.686-08:002010-01-19T18:18:58.686-08:00I consumed high quality, low mercury DHA concentra...I consumed high quality, low mercury DHA concentrated fish oil throughout my pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and 11 months of nursing, and you know, it worked, because my kid is a genius! ;-) (Well, as genius as a one year-old can be expected to be.) <br /><br />Seriously, though, fish oil is the only supplement I recommend for every one of my patients, and for the wanna-be pregnant/pregnant/nursing patient, well, I am a bit more insistent. ;-) To drive home how important I think it is, it is the only supplement I sell in the office.<br /><br />Long live high-quality fish and fish oil, and live long,<br /><br />Melissa M.
