Introduction

This is one of four units in the Simply Good Eating nutrition education curriculum. The 88-page printed book helps adult participants learn about healthy eating during pregnancy, age-appropriate foods and feeding practices for babies, food safety concerns for babies, and healthy meals and snacks for young children. The youth-targeted food safety activities are highly adaptable to the needs and interests of a diverse range of participants. New in 2008, the book now includes two CDs with reproducible English and Spanish handouts. This curriculum complies with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid and is recommended for EFNEP and FSNEP staff, other nutrition educators, and teachers.
