Rating: Summary: You Can Do Better for Your Baby Review: I was fascinated by this highly-rated book written by registered dieticians with the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. What I discovered upon reading the book is why the children are so sick. While I was expecting recipes for healthy foods to get my daughter off to a good start, I found instead saturated fat and sugar-laden meals. A recipe for baked beans, recommended for 12 to 18-month-olds, calls for molasses, brown sugar and eight strips of bacon! Better that you should take your child to a fast-food restaurant.If you are really interested in raising a healthy child, try "Super Baby Food" by Ruth Yaron. Not only are the recipes full of nutrition, but the book also includes tips for making child-friendly cleaning products and other projects.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Book! Review: My 17 month old has enjoyed every recipe I have tried. In fact my husband and I have also enjoyed the recipes. The recipes are designed for small meals so that even if your child does not enjoy them, there is not much food that has been wasted. All the ingredients are easily found in any store. I would very much recommend this book to anyone wanting some fresh ideas on what to feed a toddler.
Rating: Summary: Lots of helpful info on feeding your baby Review: This is one of my two favorite books on feeding a baby. (The other is Child of Mine by Ellen Satter -- a more comprehensive but much less readable book.) This book concisely explains the basics of pediatric nutrition and provides all kinds of suggested meals/snacks for babies and toddlers of various ages. Sometimes I get into a rut when it comes to feeding my child, serving up the same types of foods day after day. This book gave me ideas about a bunch of other recipes to try and, for the most part, they've been foods that my super-picky toddler has been willing to try.

Rating: Summary: Quick, Easy & Nutritious Review: When I was raising babies I was completely unprepared for what to feed them, how much to feed them, and when to introduce new healthy foods. A few years ago I purchased this book when searching for a baby gift for a friend. Now I buy both the Better Baby Food and Better Food for Kids for all my friends and relatives having babies. Everyone loves this gift!! I even purchased a copy for myself and still find the recipes great for teenagers and just the presentation makes the recipes look so simple. I also like checking the nutritional value and feel better knowing what goes into each recipe. These books are incredible and I will continue to purchase them.
