Book Description

May 5 2001

Everyone wants their children to have the best possible diet, particularly in those all-important first years of life. But parents (especially new parents) aren't nutritional experts. So how do they know if their babies and toddlers are getting all the nourishment they need?

Now, with Better Baby Food, there's a complete, authoritative guide that takes the guesswork out feeding young children -- from birth to 24 months and beyond.

Developed with the world-renowned Hospital for Sick Children, this book provides the most up-to-date, expert advice available, with easy-to-read information about every aspect of feeding young children -- from breast and bottle feeding through to the introduction of solid foods. Each page is packed with tips, recommendations and common-sense guidelines for parents, including important topics such as food safety and allergies, teething and tooth care, digestive problems, essential vitamins and minerals, snacking, homemade vs. commercially prepared foods, feeding while traveling, as well as vegetarian diets.

But that's not all. In addition to its wealth of nutritional information, this book features over 220 easy-to-prepare recipes, organized by meal and recommended age range. Each recipe provides a full nutrient analysis, and has been baby- and toddler-tested to ensure maximum flavor appeal. Start the day with Baby's Fruit Smoothie or Apple Breakfast Bars. At midday try dishes such as Lunchtime Pasta and Bean Casserole or Crustless Cheese 'n Carrot Quiche and, for dinner, Fiesta Tomato Surprise or Chicken and Peach Salad. These recipes are so imaginative and delicious, you'll want to make them for your own dinner table!

Every year, 4 million babies are born in North America, creating a huge market of new parents, all of whom are looking for anything that will make their sleep-deprived lives easier. With its combination of comprehensive nutritional information and fast-and-easy recipes, Better Baby Food is the ideal resource.

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

Review

An excellent and ideal source for parents, especially new parents ... It is a true blessing for parents to have such a source handy and readily available for use at home. It is definitely recommended for personal use and a great book for public libraries. (Kavita Mundle E-Streams 20020401)

1.0 out of 5 stars Questionably Better Baby Food Nov 3 2002
Format: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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shame on Registered Dieticians Feb 3 2006
By A Customer
Format: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.

1.0 out of 5 stars You Can Do Better for Your Baby Mar 9 2002
Format:Hardcover
I was fascinated by this highly-rated book written by registered dieticians with the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. What I discovered upon reading the book is why the children are so sick. While I was expecting recipes for healthy foods to get my daughter off to a good start, I found instead saturated fat and sugar-laden meals. A recipe for baked beans, recommended for 12 to 18-month-olds, calls for molasses, brown sugar and eight strips of bacon! Better that you should take your child to a fast-food restaurant.

If you are really interested in raising a healthy child, try "Super Baby Food" by Ruth Yaron. Not only are the recipes full of nutrition, but the book also includes tips for making child-friendly cleaning products and other projects.
