Babies grow more rapidly in their first year than at any other time in their lives, so how you feed your newborn will be one of the most important decisions you make for your new baby.Making your own baby food is not only more economical than buying commercial brands, it also assures that your child consumes only the freshest, top-quality ingredients.

- Food allergies
- Time-saving food preparation tips
- Freezing and reheating your homemade baby food

 Wonderful, Easy-to-Use Resource August 6, 2008
My 7-month-old started on "Stage 1" solid foods at 4 months, but they can be kind of watery. Making food homemade is not only fun, but easy,and you can test out different flavor combinations without having to throw away food (fruit purees can be used in dessert recipes for you, for example).
My baby loves everything I've made and really enjoys homemade peas pureed over the yucky, army-green store bought peas!
Love this book! First time mom July 26, 2008
I am a new mom and wanted to try out making baby food. This book shows the basics (carrot puree) all the way up to more exotic foods. I have to say making your own food is so easy and so much cheaper! AND I am not a cook - ask my husband!
 Tasty Purees July 3, 2008

We were pureeing fruit for my daughter before we purchased this book. But the advantage to this book is having other options for bigger meals and what types of food to combine into one meal.
We have tried several of the recipes and all have been very simple to make. The one-pot chicken has onions, sweet potatoes, carrots and chicken mixed together. My daughter had not tried chicken or onions before this meal but seems to enjoy it.
I have a few small complaints about the book:
1) It doesn't list temperatures for cooking
2) I would have liked to see more recipes that included herbs and spices
3) Many recipes include strawberries, which are not recommended for children until age 1
Overall, I am very pleased with this book. It has encouraged us to make new foods for my daughter who seems to enjoy whatever we place in front of her.
I would (and have) recommend this book to any parent of infant children.
Great Book on Infant Nutrition July 1, 2008

Okay, it's important to bear in mind that Annabel Karmel is British - she lives and works in Britain, where child feeding guidelines are obviously different. This information is clearly stated in the book. I don't think she has disdain for AAP (American Academy of Pediatric) guidelines ... not everything revolves around America, folks! So keep that in mind as you consider which recipes to make for your baby.
That said, much of the nutritional information in the book is solid, and the recipes are indeed easy, healthy and delicious. I've used it again and again, and I love it - and so does my baby.
Like it a lot June 18, 2008

This is a good reference for where to start. I was looking for the basics of what to start when, how to prepare each item (steam, boil, no cook, etc.) and a little detail about what combinations work. This is exactly what I got.
I agree with other reviewers that a few of her recommendations are against pediatrician recommendations but I suspect that anyone who actually takes the time to make their own baby food, is likely to do more reading and research than this book alone in addition to talking with their pediatrician.
