1) Paperback Book Baby & Toddler Meals For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking)) by For Dummies. This is one of the best books I´ve found. I have a few different ones but this one is the one that gives the most practical information.¤ 2) Paperback Book Baby & Toddler Meals For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking)) by For Dummies. ok, first of all, they put a notice right when you open the book for liability so you shouldnt take to heart the strawberries. the book is a guide!! not a bible!!! anyway, great book!! yummy and easy food ideas!¤ 3) Paperback Book Baby & Toddler Meals For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking)) by For Dummies. I bought this book because I wanted some easy recipe ideas for my toddler with some of the basic ingredients that I would have on hand. This book appears to satisfy that criteria.
However, readers should note that there is a very important mistake about allergens on page 96. In Chapter 6: Foods for Your Crawler: 6-12 Months it says "Keep in mind that you must continue to avoid such potential allergy items such as cow´s milk, eggs (although egg whites are okay), strawberries, nuts and honey." Actually, egg whites ARE NOT OKAY at that age - egg yolks are ok.¤ 4) Paperback Book Baby & Toddler Meals For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking)) by For Dummies. After making the decision to make home made baby food for my son I wanted to try to find a book that would cover a range of important topics. Some of the important topics that our pediatrician said to look for were food allergies, when to introduce food at the right stage and also food preparation and storage. I also was hoping to find a few recipes that werent too time consuming and covered the baics from purees to simple started solids and this book has it all.
The book has a wonderful index so you dont have to read it in order if you dont want to, you can bop from subject to subject as you find necessary. It is also stocked up with nutritional information such as which vitamins and minerals were most important and what foods contained these.
One of the most important thing for me was knowing when to feed my son which foods and this book has taken the mystery out of it all. The section that starts with what to feed baby first goes in order. For example you want to start by feeding a basic rice cereal and then about a week or so later you can move onto oats or barley. In that section the recipes go in that order so as not to confuse you!
As a concerned mother who wants to do the right thing by making the healthiest, freshest foods for my child I can honestly say that this book makes my life much easier and has helped calm a lot of my worries as to what and when to feed my son. It is also very reassuring that a nutritionist and a RD helped to co-write this book. It is basically a how-to guide for beginners in the world of baby food, with the added bonus of some wonderful easy-to-make recipes.
The only thing I noticed while reading through with a fine tooth comb was that they do say at one point (in the section on what to buy for making baby food) that you can buy berries of any kind. This isnt entirely true as strawberries are an allergenic food for children under the age of one. They do however cover the allergy and risk of offering strawberries to babies under the age of one in the food allergy section and foods to watch out for- so its a little contradictory however the food allergy section comes way before they tell you how and what to make so you hopefully will have read that by the time you get to making the food!
All in all a wonderful book for all parents who want to know about a wide variety of topics concerning home made baby food for babies and toddlers!¤ 5) Paperback Book Baby & Toddler Meals For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking)) by For Dummies. Includes tips for feeding picky eaters and kids with allergies
