Product Description
Parents today know that one of the best ways to give a baby a great start in life is with wholesome, homemade foods.
While ready-made baby food is a convenience that any new parent can appreciate, feeding everyday fresh foods is the best way to teach a child healthy eating habits and an appreciation for good food from the cradle onward.
The 80 recipes in Cooking for Baby make preparing delicious meals for babies and toddlers a breeze, even for busy parents. The recipes are organized by age, showing how to introduce cereal grains and simple vegetable and fruit purees to your infant at 6 months, how to move on to chunkier foods by 8 or 9 months, and how to graduate to real meals for young toddlers of 12 to 18 months to enjoy along with the entire family. When you see how easy it is, with a few smart tips on preparation and storage, you’ll never go back to the jars.
With Cooking for Baby, your youngster will enjoy a wide variety of fresh and interesting foods for a very happy and healthy beginning.

this book arrived in a timely manner and is exactly what was advertised and what i expected. the recipes look great and i can’t wait to try them.
This book has great recipes, and it’s well written. What I like the most about this book is that it starts simple with one-ingredient purees, and gradually introduces recipes that have more texture and use the same ingredients that the baby has already had. Before each section of the book (e.g., 6 months, 7-8 months, 9-11 months, etc), there is some good information about food choices, textures, quantities, and similar, that I found useful… I have read many baby food books, and I believe that this one is one of the better ones. Highly recommend it.
I give it 4 stars for the look of the book alone. Although I have yet to try any of these, the pictures of the recipes are beautiful. There are tips for what babies should and shouldn’t eat at various stages/ages….
I’ll update this once I’ve tried the recipes. Most seem very simple and straight forward. I hope to use them with my Beaba Babycook baby food maker.Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker
