Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby by Annabel Karmel

Very help full to understand baby food.

Great

This was a Gift for a friend of mine and she was really happy about this. She told me, that the receipes are easy to make! So that's all I could say about this... :)

I bought this book in advance of weaning my twin boys. I really didn't have a clue where to start, but i knew i wanted to get it right and have them eating a varied, balanced diet. The book is very good as there is lots of information before the recipes, about starting solids, foods to avoid, how to cook and store baby food, and a chapter on allergies and intolerances which i found extremely helpful considering one of my twins developed severe excema at 3 months old. The book is divided into chaptersfirst stage weaning: 6 Monthsafter first tastes 6-7 Monthssecond stage weaning 7-9 Monthsgrowing independence 9-12 MonthsI find the different chapters were good as it gave you an idea of what different food to give your child and at what age. All in all, the recipes in the book are pretty easy to follow (even if cooking isn't your greatest thing) and you can adapt them to make them easier or if you haven't got a certain ingredient in your kitchen. Bright colourful pictures, easy to follow instructions etc.My twins are a year old now and i have used this book constantly since beginning weaning at 5 months, my boys are healthy and pretty much eat anything they are given, and i must say i think this is due in part to this book. The only weaning book i have owned so i can't compare it to others, but after having it i wouldn't need another one. I've recommended it to many friends, lent it out (but not for too long), and can highly recommend it to everyone on here. A must have for any mum.

I bought this book because I was interested in knowing more about how to make my own baby food for my new son when he became 6 months old. The baby food bought in the store is technically considered processed and 'dead' food, because it has been heated(boiled) and processed. In a book like this one, it teaches how to make the foods fresh and not having to process or boil up a fruit or a vegetable that results in nutritional loss. Instead it teaches how to properly steam and roast in the oven these items if need be and keep the nutritional content. The book also illustrates how to prepare purees fresh in use with formula or breast milk. As a breast feeding mother this book is going to be very handy in helping to keep my son healthy and happy, The book also contains several pages on infant and toddler nutrition as well as helpful tis and hints on how to properly feed them and what to feed them at different stages. This book is well illustrated and put together and easy to follow to be able to show any new parent on how to feed their child more healthy. A must have for all new parents.

baby just loves these recipes

Beautiful book with lots of helpful tips and healthy ideas. Simply and clearly written without adding repetitive or useless information. Baby even loves looking at all the pictures and colors! Many recipes are common sense (fruit + water) but I still enjoy having this book in my kitchen.
