Naturally Delicious Meals for Baby: Over 150 Fun, Fresh, and Easy Recipes to Nourish Your Baby and Toddler

I have taken every baby/toddler cookbook available out of the library and this is the only one I really felt deserved a permanent spot on my shelf. The recipes are simple, wonderful, tasty, and 100% natural. There are awesome tips throughout. I feel the recipes are really helping to shape my son's palette to enjoy natural, healthy foods. And I feel so good about preparing the food for him. The only thing I would warn is that this book is from the UK -- and it doesn't seem like they follow the same practices of introducing foods one at a time to check for bad reactions. But as long as you already know that, there is no reason you can't enjoy the recipes after you have introduced each ingredient individually.

I did some research before buying a baby food book because I was looking for something easy-to-read, easy-to-use, and down-to-earth. I checked out different books from the library - Ruth Yaron, Annabel Karmel, etc and this one - so that I could read them all before deciding which to purchase. I bought this one because it met my three criteria. The recipes/directions are pretty simple and I like how it covers healthy eating during nursing for the first 6 months of your baby's life. I still do some checking of certain things- eg. I got 2nd opinions of when to start what foods- just to be safe, because this book doesn't clearly list out exactly what's recommended at what age. But overall, I am very happy with this book.

Book is very informational. I like how it tells you what vitamins and nutrients are in each food.

This book is great - I am a pediatric occupational therapist and was looking for ideas for the children I work with who have feeding concerns. This book is geared to any child and is chock-full of information about what different fruits, veggies & meats contain and even have helpful "diaper warnings" for foods that might cause after-effects (e.g., beets). The foods look fantastic (I'd eat almost any of the recipes), and she even lists tips for how to use the recipes to make them into meals for the whole family. We often don't think about the fact that babies & young children should have food that tastes good, which actually helps them transition to "regular" foods more easily.
