Introducing Solids & Making Your Own Organic Baby Food: A Step-by-Step Guide to Weaning Baby off Breast & Starting Solids. Delicious, Easy-to-Make, & Healthy Homemade Baby Food Recipes Included.

Very useful book for new parents if wondering how to introduce solids and what ! Very nice recipes!I recommend it.

With my first two babies, I was just too overwhelmed to try the idea of making my own baby food. It seemed like it would just be way too much work. After giving birth to my third though, I really want to give it a try. I have breastfed them all to try to give them the most natural options, so why not do the same with their first foods. This book provides the perfect overview for just starting out. I thought I would need all kinds of extra blending and storing devices, but this provided methods using things I already have in the house. The recipes at the end start with babies' first foods and go all the way to finger food options as the baby transitions into a toddler. Since my oldest has allergies, I wish I had read this when he was still a baby. I could have provided him with so many more options just by making them myself. This really does show how doable it can be and provides a lot of extra feeding tips that first time moms especially will appreciate!

Was looking for an informative book on feeding of babies and have found one with this well written book. We are preparing for the coming of our first great grandson and it has been a few years, since having to go through the baby thing. The author is very thorough with her presentation and breaks the subject down so that you can easily understand it. From the ounces per weight per day of formula needed, to how to freeze baby food properly. The use of the ice cube trays for freezing is a really good idea. This book would be wonderful for a new mother, offers some really good recipes for organic grown baby foods, such as chicken corn chowder to applesauce muffins for babies. It is great also for us older grandmothers and great grandmothers who have forgotten a lot.

I can't believe I paid $5 for this. It took me less than 5 minutes to read the bare (and in some instances outdated) info on "introducing solids." I got a lot more information from various websites on the topic. I was hoping that the recipes would be organized according to age, but they are not other than a note on a few stating that they are better for older babies. You can also find similar or the same recipes online. I suspect the handful of positive reviews were written by people who know the author.Separately, as a breasfteeding mother who works full-time, I was annoyed by this sentence: "Mother's who work or can't breastfeed for some reason should find a good formula for the baby." Apparently, the author has never met a working mother that breastfeeds. It came as no surprise that the rest of the book was a disappointment after reading this uninformed setence on the first page.

I actually bought this book so I can make organic baby food for my friend who has a newborn. I love to garden and always have so many vegetables and fruits left over that sometimes they go bad. There are so many useful ideas in this book that I would have never thought of like using ice cube trays to freeze the food or using wax paper in the freezer. There are many tips and tricks offered for weaning babies too. My kids are older and they also enjoy many of the recipes found in this book such as the baked peaches and the broccoli and cheese nuggets. The book includes information about reading and understanding store bought baby food labels, food allergies and toddler finger foods.

The nutritional content of baby food is much more important these days now that we know about the dangers of pesticides, etc. I got this book with the vague idea of maybe making organic baby food for my grandchildren when they are visiting, but now I am excited about the whole prospect and will be sharing the information with my daughter. I found the chapter on storing organic food especially helpful, and the penny trick is absolutely amazing! Living in a hurricane zone with frequent loss of power or threat of losing power is a common occurrence, I am surprised I haven't heard of the penny trick before now. I will definitely be utilizing the trick immediately.

Before reading this book, I had a vague understanding that feeding my baby organic food is probably healthier, but I didn’t understand how much inorganic foods could compromise her health and development. I’ve tried to buy organic for her, but figured making it myself would be too complicated and time-consuming. This book sure does cancel that theory! Not only does it give me the recipes I need, it also gives a lot of tips and tricks to make it easier to do with my busy schedule. I can’t wait to make my own now and freeze it in ice cube trays!

I wish I hadn't wasted money on this book. There were typos and errors throughout and you can tell it's not based on actual research. It's like someone woke up one day and decided to write a book...and finished it before their baby's nap was over. Waste of time and money, unless you're looking for a good laugh.

Very good

A quick and easy read, although the writing isn't the best and the book could use a good edit to catch all the spelling mistakes. Nothing new in this book that can't be gleaned from a quick read from an online source. The recipes at the back earned this book a second star in the rating, although they could be better organized by suitable age to introduce to baby. As it reads, some recipes note the recommended age for introduction but it is scattered and random in order and not easy to find those suitable for just starting to introduce solids, etc. There is also no introduction or overview of the author - what makes her qualified to write this book? In all, skip this book in lieu of another resource.
