Food-Sensitive Babies
Joy Anderson
2019 (second edition)
This practical and empathetic guide supports parents whose babies react negatively to foods through breastmilk or formula. Joyce Whiting offers clear information on symptoms, elimination diets, allergy and intolerance testing, and the emotional toll of caring for a food-sensitive baby. Her tone is warm, supportive, and rooted in lived experience.
Why It’s Included:
Feeding a baby with food sensitivities can be isolating and overwhelming — especially for breastfeeding parents trying to sort through conflicting advice. This book reflects our commitment to responsive, informed feeding support and provides a non-alarmist yet thorough resource for navigating food sensitivities with confidence and care.
Who It’s For:
Ideal for breastfeeding parents managing suspected food intolerances or allergies in their babies, and for peer supporters or professionals helping them. A valuable read for anyone looking to balance nutritional needs with emotional wellbeing in complex feeding situations.
“Dietician and IBCLC lactation consultant Joy Anderson is widely recognised for her expertise in the feeding of infants with allergies or intolerances. Navigating breastfeeding with food sensitive babies is calmly discussed with practical guidance and evidence-based information. ”
