I loved this book! I didn’t use everything she said, but I found the information very useful as well as an idea of what foods to introduce when. I also really liked the toddler section. I did discover that my baby girl could not tolerate nutritional yeast at all, but the book has lots of suggestions for adding different things in to their food to make it as healthy as you can! If you don’t win, get it from the library.

A friend lent me a copy of “Mommy Made and Daddy Too!: Home Cooking for a Healthy Baby & Toddler”. I haven’t tried the recipes (still 8.5 weeks ’til baby makes her big debut) but the information seems good. It’s a nice balance of information – enough to get you through without overloading you. I personally would have liked more information but I’m the kind of person who loves books with footnotes, appendices, and long references sections.

Anyway, just thought I’d throw it out there if anyone is looking for a book on the subject.

I think this book is a good resource. Often long-winded yes. I appreciated the information on different ways to prepare whole grains and legumes for baby, and also the produce pages describing various ways (microwave/steam/etc.) to prepare vegetables/fruit for baby. Some of the craft stuff at the end looks useful, but I’m not that crafty and don’t have much time for it. I also have Baby Bites, and like that too. Although, to be honest, it seems like maybe order and timing doesn’t matter all that much anyway. This time around (with baby #2), I’m hoping to feed her just more of what we’re eating (pureed at times) and let her self-feed as much as possible. But I still refer to my 2 books (the one above and Baby Bites, by a nutritionist, I think).

This would be great! We make some of our own now, but I’d love to introduce more variety into his diet

it still sounds interesting. my first babe had health issue and barely ate any “baby food”…she just nursed mostly until she was ready for table foods, which i’m reading is good practice, too.

my newest little one is 3 months, and i envision him being a more robust eater. could be a helpful resource:)

Our little guy will be starting foods in the next couple of months and would love to have another resource available to help us make the best choices to get him off to a great start!

My little one is not ready for solid food yet, but I plan on making our own once she is. This sounds like it would be a great resource!

I have used my copy as a resource. I still use it to remind me about the times for cooking dried beans. I’d say great to use as a resource, but a tough read. Made all my babyfood for both girls.
