Baby Eats!: Homemade Recipes for Healthy, Happy Babies

Rating:
Summary: A GREAT resource
Review: I found this book to be a great resouce for all kinds of recipies for my children. I had no idea how to make or store baby food and it really helped with easy, practical, "how to make it" recipies. I didn't want theories or advice just a set of recipies and suggestions on what age to use them. I breastfed both my child for at least a year and found this book to be a welcome addition to supplement their diet while never discouraging my personal choices. I still make many of the foods for my 4 and 6 year olds and the family dinners were great too.

Review: I personally found that this book is medically inappropiate advice, and believe that the author should update some of his knowledge. This book has a subject area of food for the 0-6 month old. The author appearently isn't aware of the WHO and AAP's advisment to wait till 6 months of age til introducing any foods other then breastmilk. The book was also not very pro-breastfeeding. In my opinion, this book is not worth the paper it's printed on. I feel that there are many many better books on the subject of preparing your child's babyfood. One ~*GREAT*~ book on this subject is "Natural Baby Food Cookbook" and another is "Baby let's Eat".

Review: why the rush toward preparing baby food? Breastfeed as =much as your child wishes for *at least* the first year, and then introduce your regular table food. If you have to mush it up and prepare it specially, it generally isnt' worth bothering with
