As the title suggests, Annabel Karmel has included more then 200 Quick, Easy and Healthy Recipes for your baby that are Mom-tested and Child-Approved recipes for your baby and toddler. Boy, do I wish I had this book when my children were younger and I was so clueless about what to feed them when!
Part reference and mostly recipe guide, Karmel explains why babies need what they do at certain stages and when. There is a section on pureeing for baby’s first tastes and includes some different combinations like carrots and cauliflower or Three-Fruit Puree (with peaches, pears and apples). Included is a weekly meal plan for your baby to help you figure out how to introduce new foods. When baby begins feeding herself, Karmel offers suggestions for yummy meals that are sure to appeal….like The Three Bears’ Breakfast (a combo of oatmeal, etc.) or Strawberry Rice Pudding or Chicken and Apple Balls. Wrapping up with the section on Toddlers, Karmel offers recipes with more varied flavor combinations that are sure to be a hit!

Note: Your pediatrician is your best source for when to feed your baby what and help you figure out food allergies.
