Cooking for Babies and Toddlers

Summary: Lovely Book
Review: I just love this book. It has monthwise sections saying which food to start when. I love the idea that you steam your vegetables first and then mix it with milk and puree it for the baby. This way I will be able to mix milk in my baby food without heating it and destroying some vitamins. The pictures are so very adorable too. It also has list of necessary and useful models of bibs, utensils, bowls and cups. You get so many types in the market these days and as a new mom you want to buy them all. This book gives you some idea of the useful ones.

Summary: An excellent book
Review: I really liked this book when I got it from the library. I would recommend it to anyone who is learning to make their own baby food, or trying to entice a toddler to eat. It has step by step instructions, and beautiful illustrations. My three year old looks at it, points to the pictures and says, "Yummy, Mommy, yummy!" I haven't had a chance to try the recipes yet, but most of them look pretty good and include the whole family, from baby to parents. In the latter half of the book, it shows you how to prepare a meal, when to take out portions for the baby and younger child, and how to season and present the dishes for different members of the family, which I found useful because I like to have every step written out to make sure I don't leave out a step. There is also a dessert section! Yummy, mommy, yummy! :)

Summary: Healthy fun cooking for babies and toddlers.
Review: This book is really helpful for parents looking for nutritious and interesting meals for their children. It has great variety and includes whole family meals that allow you to cook for baby, toddler, and adults all at once. The author deals with baby foods, toddler foods, and foods for families in the three sections. She also includes advice on what is age appropriate and ways to get vegetables into the picky toddlers diet. The book includes photos of most recipes and neat presentation ideas. My daughter eats a large variety of foods thanks to this book.
