3.0 out of 5 stars right philosophy but not enough detail!, March 9, 1999

This review is from: Into the Mouths of Babes: A Natural Foods Nutrition and Feeding Guide for Infants and Toddlers (Paperback)

This book did reinforce my conviction that my baby can grow up perfectly healthy on a whole foods vegeterian/vegan diet (I don't eat any meat and am lactose intolerant and it appears that he is too). However, the book did not provide nearly enough information to guide me in planning a healthy diet for him. It said which foods COULD be introduced when, but not which ones SHOULD be. It did not address complementing as opposed to replacing breastmilk while introducing solids. I am a working mother, but still breastfeeding my 10 mo. old baby 3-4 times a day (including pumping), and am at in dispute with the day-care doctor who says my baby does not get enough protein (At the day care they normally introduce meat at 7-8 months). I expected to find more information on QUANTITIES of solid foods and certain nutrients (protein and others) babies need at what age.

4.0 out of 5 stars Baby food made simple, May 6, 2000

This review is from: Into the Mouths of Babes: A Natural Foods Nutrition and Feeding Guide for Infants and Toddlers (Paperback)

I found this book to be very helpful, finally making baby food sounds easy. The recipes cover ages from 6 months through 3 years. She also includes many recipes for the entire family. I use the book mainly as a cookbook, refering to other books for nutritional guidlines for my son.

This is a great book. Very relaxed and simple presentation. Supportive approach and not extremist. Very balanced advice. I tried the Super Baby Food book, but after I read this one in our library. I took the SBF back and ordered this on-line. Good luck!
