This book was extremely helpful during the toddler years. With some quirky bits thrown in, and some aspects were extremely overwritten. ( )

If you are planning on making your child's food this book is bound to be your Bible!! I cannot tell you how often I referenced this book in all stages of making my baby's food. ( )

pretty good. she does seem to have a vegetarian bias, which is weird. but i think overall, it's an indispensable book. ( )

I knew I wanted to make my own baby food, and this book was a gift from a friend that had made her own when her kids were younger.

I really love this book, and I also think this author gets a little overboard with doing everything.

Why I love this book:
The valuable information on each of the fruits and vegatables as to what age to introduce the food, how to tell if it's ripe, and the best season to buy. Month by month chapters on how much formula to solid food your baby should be taking in. Simple and easy storage ideas for the baby food and neat tricks for making playdo, goop and party cakes.

Why I think this book goes overboard:
The author really pushes organic/locally grown/farmers' market fruits and veggies. She also says how easy it is to make your own yogurt and fruit leathers (fruit roll-ups). Easy for her, but for the working moms... not so easy. Or at least I don't think so. For getting all the air out of ziplock bags, using a straw to suck out the last bit of air before putting the baby food in the freezer - just seemed like a little much to me.

Overall ~ I say this book is a really good resource if you want to make your own baby food. I would buy it for anyone I know who is thinking about doing it, but I would also warn those I give it to that I didn't follow everything the author said and I didn't buy only organic/locally grown produce for my son's food.

I picked up this book while visiting my parents in Tulsa, OK with my son who at the time of this review is almost 7 months. It has been a wonderful reference - especially the timetables. Very detailed and well worth picking up. There is a great section month by month of what food to choose from, developmental changes and warnings especially pertaining but not limited to allergies that can affect your child's life. There is a lot of information on nutritional aspects and healthy recipes. There were things I would have never thought about -- especially ways to test the safety of a high chair. There are lists of baby safe recipes for cleaning and crafts. Fun food ideas for groups of children. It's a well researched. I highly recommend it. ( )
