Great recipes, easy to use
I have been looking for a baby food book for a while with easy to make recipes and so far have been disappointed. I saw this on the new releases shelf at my local store and it was just what I had been looking for!! There is a TON of information and recipes in here for the beginning eater to toddler. There are many meals the whole family can enjoy together. This is a great book if you want to supplement your baby's food with homemade or make all of it yourself, this is the book for you!!

Great Book for parents who love the kitchen
OK. I know that we all don't have time to "cook" all of our baby food...but even if you may want to supplement your baby food jar collection with some of your own, this is a GREAT book. It gave me some great ideas, and also gives you good information (like what can my 6 year old REALLY handle...) The recipes for older babies and toddlers are really good (I eat them too!) Great for those that are "tired" of the jarred peas and carrots - if your baby is in a slump, try out some of these recipes for some interesting foods!

A must-have for every family
I consider this book the bible when it comes to feeding my son. I started using it since he was 5 months old, and I loved the results! I never fed him from a jar, everything he ate was prepared by me and as a result, he has a great appetite and he enjoys all kinds of foods (even those other kids consider "yucky"). He's 2 and a half now, and he loves such foods as bell peppers, olives, fish, onions, spinach and zucchini. His favorite dessert is fresh fruit. Needless to say, he's really healthy. I also have a 4-month-old baby and I plan to use the recipes again. This book should be mandatory for every new mom! If I could give it 6 stars, I definitely would.
