Product Description
From Booklist
How much are adult tastes in food formed by the quality of baby food? Infants raised on the recipes included in Better Baby Food already have the advantage of a mother or father with sufficient time and equipment resources to make homemade food instead of purchasing those little jars. But even if a parent can't cook all of a baby's meals, some homemade foods in baby's diet are sure to satisfy both parent and child. Daina Kalnins and Joanne Saab start with information on general infant nutrition, breastfeeding, and formulas before addressing baby's first solid foods. Sectioning recipes into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts, they give recipes for foods for each developmental stage from six months through 18 months and beyond. As baby matures, foods become suitable for adults, too, offering treats such as shepherd's pie and ratatouille. Truly pampered tots even get a fully seasoned risotto minus only the wine. Measurements appear in American and metric measures, and recipes carry brief nutritional analyses. Mark Knoblauch

Questionably Better Baby Food,
By Sarah Bell (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Better Baby Food: Your Essential Guide to Nutrition, Feeding and Cooking for All Babies and Toddlers (Paperback)
As a Registered Nurse and mother of two small healthy children, I was surprised by the endorsement of this book by Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. The dependence on added salt and sugar and highly salted processed food to enhance the flavour of an infants food is not only unnecessary, it is undesirable. A recipe for an orange smoothie shake has a full tablespoon of white sugar in each serving for a child between 12 and 18 months. The introduction of salt and sugar early in a child's life promotes a dependence on them. In a time where one of the major threats to health is an increase in obesity and related illnesses we would be better served to prepare our children primarily fresh food, low in added fat, salt and sugar.

Shame on Registered Dieticians,
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Baby Food: Your Essential Guide to Nutrition, Feeding and Cooking for All Babies and Toddlers (Paperback)
I took this book out from the library, hoping for a few good ideas for what to feed my baby. I couldn't believe the amount of sugar recommended in everything from applesauce (every other baby cookbook I've seen uses only apples, sometimes with a little cinnamon) to sweet potatoes (add maple syrup!?) and squash. I'm trying to avoid sugar, white flour and milk products with my daughter and could hardly find a recipe that did not contain these ingredients.I find it appalling and frustrating that those in health professions have such little sense for what constitutes good nutrition. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering what I've been fed in hospitals in the past.
