I really enjoyed this book. It provides a history of the commercial baby food companies. It was a great resource to begin making my own baby food. It was also helpful as a reference to the developmental stages from first foods through preschool. This book supports introducing solids later than traditionally endorsed. I LOVED IT!

This review is from: Natural Baby Food Cookbook (Paperback)

Came across my Mom's copy, copyright 1972, that she for me as a young child and for my sister as a baby. I have read many of the more recent books and lots of books for fussy eaters. This book will have just as good advice and ideas for feeding and great background material too. Some of the material is dated, of course, such as the warnings on environmental hazards, many which have since been addressed. Formula, while still an inferior choice to breastmilk is better now than it was (not being judgemental as I had to supplement with formula and then only formula, but know it is second choice!). Also, the dangers of soy, especially to children are not addressed as that research was limited at that time and is only now become widely known. Also, reasons to avoid baby foods are somewhat outdated as one can now buy healthy babyfood. however, nothing is as healthy as feeding them homemade, fresh baby food!
Anyway, good book with recipes, including meat, background information, tips for fussy eaters and great advice. Would not make it the only book as more recent research and advice is available but for the most part is as good if not better than more recent books and will be a deal at the low cost! Just remember to research the dangers of soy and add that to your information when beginning to feed baby as well as the rest of the family (especially if fertility problems!).
