Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a book I wish I had when my children were babies. The information is just what parents need as they navigate through the development of their baby's eating habits.
The book has a chart outlining when to introduce foods, and addresses food allergies and how to avoid them, as well as distinguishing the difference between a real food allergy and a food intolerance. Advice is given concerning organic vs. non-organic, frozen vs. fresh, suggested processing tools such as food mills, what foods should never be given to a baby under 12 months old and why, and so much more I also liked the "at our house" segments throughout the book - real life stories from parents about how they handled food issues with their children.
With over 100 recipes from first food purees to foods toddlers and young children will enjoy, this book is a valuable source of information. It is spiral bound which is always a plus for a cookbook, and has lots of great color photos, including some of the most adorable babies.
This book will be my gift of choice for anyone I know who is having their first child.
I was given a copy of this book to review by the publisher but the opinion is my own and was not solicited. If I didn't like it, I would say so.
