I received this book as a gift. I was new at feeding my infant "finger foods" and I was so confused on what to feed and what not to feed. The recipes are divided in sections according to age. At the beginning of each section, there is a menu plan and some tips on feeding. The recipes are not only good for the whole family but they don't cost alot to make.

Has many good recipes for steaming veggies and fruits in combination with other fruits and veggies. Most can be eaten by family and leftovers frozen. Easy to follow directions. AND the book lays flat when you have it open to a recipe! No more loosing your place! I bought two other baby food books and this one is by far the best I got. Great deal!

The book is outdated in that it refers to the four basic food groups (pyramid food groups have been around a long time now) and shows pictures in each recipe for which food groups are included. I did not notice that the copyright date was old. And, I think it had a couple of suggestions for feeding things to little ones that I wouldn't follow (but every mom makes those decisions on their own anyway). I almost returned it but since I really don't know anything about cooking (I had to read directions to make rice) I did find some useful information. And, for moms who want to do the more healthy thing for example there is a recipe for healthy yogurt instead of buying yogurt with sugar in it.This is the kind of thing I found helpful. There are some really good looking recipes for a beginner cook like me.

I bought this book when I was pregnant with my first child. Now, 12 years later, I still refer to it for ideas, inspiration and recipes. I'm glad to see it is still in print as I refer people to it all the time!

I've searched for good toddler cookbooks, and Coyle's is one of the best. I've substituted items and made great vegan Shephard's Pie, soups, and goodies. I've suggested this book to all of my friends who have toddlers. The dishes also work well as food for the entire family. Enjoy!

Usually I don't write reviews but with this book I had too. I bought it bc my 10 month old won't eat baby food anymore and I was hopeing for some better ideas for what to feed him now. All of the recepies for people under 12 months are either pures or contain egg. Almost all of the ones for children over 12 months contain lots of milk and cheese some even contain nuts. Also most of the recepies take a long time to prepair and cook. In short their is not a single one I'm looking forward to trying and I'm glad I bought it used.

This book has a lot of helpful information regarding infant and toddler feeding. I tried many of the recipes and found that they were pretty tasty, if I added a little salt! NO sugar and NO salt in a diet are good goals to strive for but perhaps a bit unrealistic. Nevertheless the book is a useful tool if you are truly interested in getting you kids off to a healthy start nutrition-wise.

I received this book as a gift when my first baby was born and didn't think too much of it. I preferred books that gave me very simple recipes of first foods to feed my daughter. But when my daughter's palate expanded and I wanted to cook her more interesting healthy dishes, this book was great! Some of the dishes are rather involved, but those tend to be extra delicious (like the ratatouille).

Two things to know about me that may help you decide whether this book is for you: we have a farm-share and get a big box of vegetables each week and I'm always looking for ways to cook them up. This book helps me cook them in ways that are good and also appropriate for my daughter to eat. Ålso, I set aside one day per week to cook my brains out, and freeze a lot to last our family through the week. I work a full time job outside the home and I couldn't make these dishes for dinner every night.

Also, you do need to add salt or sugar to some dishes before adults eat them, but that's standard for babyfood to have little to no sodium or sugar.

The woman who gave me this book (a vegatarian) is still using this book after 15 years. It has a few basic recipes that hold up very well. I love it!

I used this book as a reference and guide in creating a diet for my son from the moment he was born. He is now 12 years old and eats almost any vegetable (as long as it's cooked well), fruit, or grain without coaxing. He is not overweight and enjoys and appreciates a well thought out meal. I think this book is a good start on the road to healthy dietary habits.

I just love this cookbook! Its super informative and the recipes great! I love that the none babies in the house can enjoy the food as much as the baby. I also loved learning about incorporating spices into baby's diet. The california chicken with avacado is great.
