This chart is designed to aid in all those caring for newborns and infants, primarily in outpatient settings, although there are topics which could be useful to inpatient care providers as well. Pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and nurse practitioners responsible for counseling parents in the newborn and infant period will benefit from this clinical support tool, as well as students or trainees in these fields. Breast milk and breastfeeding are covered at length, which addresses a potential knowledge gap for clinicians supporting nursing mothers. The organization of the chart is especially useful, with highlighted tabs to easily flip to the desired topic. This chart is a publication of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a credible and reputable source for information regarding the care of children.

"This is a well-sourced, organized, and clinically useful reference tool for pediatricians and clinicians caring for newborns and infants. By combining federal guidelines, clinical recommendations, and advice for practicing clinicians, this chart is a useful tool for nutrition information in infants and newborns. This is a decision support tool, not a comprehensive textbook, so information is streamlined and concise, primarily presented in table format. The reference tables provide updated guidelines regarding nutritional requirements, which might be more information than strictly necessary for the day-to-day care of patients. The real strength of this chart is in the anticipatory guidance, common concerns, and correction of nutrition "myths" that clinicians are likely to encounter. The second edition includes clinically relevant information regarding breastfeeding practices, preterm infants, food allergies, and vegetarian diets. I recommend this tool, especially the breastfeeding sections, to all practicing clinicians caring for newborns and infants to better support these parents."
