The Everything Baby's First Food Book: Tasty, Nutritious Meals and Snacks That Even the Pickiest Child Will Love-From Birth to Age 3

I came across this book while visiting with friends who kept this book handy on their kitchen counter. Over the course of two weeks I was able to browse and review the book. I found it to be a good collection of basic recipes for babies and toddlers. Other reviewers stated it was basic, redundant, etc. Not a bad thing, really-- I am ordering it now as a source for ideas and no nonsense recipes. For any parent who wants to feed their baby something homemade, but worries that they will have sufficient time or creativity--this book is a perfect start. Note: I will also be purchasing "Mommy Made" as a companion, as I felt that MM takes baby cooking to a more sophisticated, original level that Everything was lacking.

This book is a must for all first time mothers and fathers. It gives detailed information on how to feed your baby from birth to toddler with excellent examples and food product information. My husband and I especially found the alternatives to junk food section very helpful. We want to feed our daughter healthy food, and now we know the healthy altenatives to junk food. Also, this book gives examples on how to pack healthy lunches and snacks. Bravo!!!

I recommend this book. It has all the basic stuff about feeding and nutrition as well as great, simple recipes, time line for when you should intreduce new foods to your baby and other useful hints.

In an ideal format for new parents, Janet Tarlov's The Everything Baby's First Food Book clearly and carefully provides reliable, "user friendly" information on a wide variety of relevant issues including breast-feeding vs. bottle feeding; identifying food allergies; avoiding foods that can make baby uncomfortable or sick; how to deal with a baby who refuses to eat; deciphering nutrition labels; feeding baby on trips or in restaurants; and much, much more. The Everything Baby's First Food Book is an invaluable, highly recommended compendium of advice and instruction for parents seeking to feed their baby from birth through the toddler years with a healthy, nutritious, and tasty diet at home or on the go.
