In her book, Real Moms Love to Eat, Aldrich encourages mothers to have a love affair with food, and find out what it is about food that really turns them on, before making subtle changes to their diet to help them get the proper nutrition they need with room for indulgences.

After taking her practice to the Internet in 2005, pediatrician Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe realized the issue of parenting kids on the Web was fast becoming a recurring topic of interest among her clients and friends.
