Review of my book

I am on top of the world because of the excellent review of my book from the Star news paper’s website



The best book on feeding for Asian parents

17 October 2011

Review by BRIGITTE ROZARIO

“This is not a dolled up book. At first glance, you might not even want to pick it up. The cover is not particularly attractive and the pages do not look impressive.

However, not picking it up would be the worst decision you make if you're a new mother.

Pick it up, for although there aren't beautiful studio photos inside and the layout of the pages looks a bit textbook-like, the content is irreplaceable and indeed a gem.”

Well, I made it to being a published author!! But, the most important thing is that now there is a book to help new parents on how to best feed their baby using both western and asian practices.
