Complete, up to date nutrition for your little one,

This review is from: What Should I Feed My Baby?: The Complete Nutrition Guide from Birth to Two Years (Hardcover)
"What Should I Feed My Baby" is an excellent resource for parents, incorporating the latest advances in nutrition (glycemic index, omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics) in an easy to read format.We have been supplementing our son's diet with flax and vitaminc C on the book's recommendation, and that has noticably cut down his day care sniffles. The recipes she provides cover everything from purees for young babies to healthy stews for older babies, and they are not difficult to prepare. The book is British, so some of the recommended products will be hard to find in the states.

This review is from: What Should I Feed My Baby?: The Complete Nutrition Guide from Birth to Two Years (Hardcover)
I like that this book includes a variety of "whole food" or "health food" options that many others don't (e.g., flaxseed oil, millet porridge, and brown rice). Also, the explanations on nutrition are very clear and scientifically sound. Although I don't agree with all her choices regarding age to introduce foods (mostly because this book is 10 yrs old so new science differs), I appreciate her fabulous effort to create truly healthy menus for babies. Each recipe points out how to store the food and how long it keeps for. They are all grouped together at the end of the book and divided by age appropriateness.Some of the vocabulary in the book is difficult to understand for americans because this author is british. She talks about pulses, parsnip, swede, courgette, and flageolets. Sometimes a dictionary is helpful. However, being that she writes from the European continent, she tends to include a number of wonderful natural foods that most average americans unfortunately don't ever consider giving their kids. This is refreshing. She really covers ground in this book. From explanations of colorings and preservatives in food, to how to make sprouts, to what vitamins detoxify and avoiding pollution in food, to breastfeeding vs. formula and tips on choosing formula. Overall, I'm glad I bought this book if not just for the interesting reading. One thing to be aware of: This author introduces fava beans at 6-9 months. I have been informed that fava beans can be highly allergenic (similar to a peanut), so I would avoid this. A note to the editor: the pictures are cute, but I would have opted for smaller pictures in exchange for larger text.
