Product Description
THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND SMART FOOD CHOICES FOR YOUR CHILD IS NOW.
Unhealthy food is everywhere–colorfully packaged, cheap, and full of fat, calories, and sodium. It’s no wonder childhood obesity has become an epidemic in the last thirty years. As a result, by the time most people reach adulthood, they’re already wired to overeat.
Family nutrition expert Eileen Behan posits that good nutrition and good eating habits start on day one. The Baby Food Bible features a guide to more than 100 foods recommended for infants and toddlers based on the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, tells parents when to introduce these foods into a child's diet, and emphasizes the importance of setting healthy eating routines that center on family meals at the dining room table–the perfect time to build good habits. In a clear, accessible style, Behan describes how to:
• foster an appetite for a healthy variety of new foods (there’s more to life than string cheese)
• avoid everyday pitfalls, such as relying on too much fruit juice or labeling your child a picky eater
• establish a meal and snack schedule (children will feel more secure and eat better)
• decipher the many labels and ingredient lists at the grocery store
• prevent and treat common food-related issues, including allergies, colic, choking, and iron deficiency
• encourage the foods that will discourage chronic disease, from high blood pressure to heart disease
The Baby Food Bible also features an alphabetized index–from apples to zucchini–that explains how to buy, store, prepare, and serve more than 100 foods, with delicious recipes for every meal, wholesome snack ideas, and advice for eating out. There’s no better way to ensure your child will grow up to have a happy and healthy life!

 Nice How-to guide for preparing baby-friendly veggies and fruit December 23, 2008

I like reference ability of this text in that I've been referring to it many times as I start introducing new foods to my 6 mo old. IT explains tips for how to best prepare them. FOr example I learned that adding a few drops of lemon water to my Avocado or Banana puree would help it from browning. Also that you can heat a banana in the micro with skin on. It tells you the most important produce to buy ORGANIC, like peaches, apples and potatoes and the ones that don't matter as much. I thought it was lacking in some areas - like more on what kinds of foods are most likely to cause allergies - I know the major ones (nuts, seafood, milk, wheat) but when my baby turned up with a rash after eating bananas and again after eating carrots, I couldn't find answers anywhere. We soon learned that introducing new foods also runs a risk of causing digestive difficulties for baby, as some nights she would have night-waking with a tummy ache from eating meat or avocado or prunes. We try to take it easy on the fiber now. All in all, I wouldn't call it a "bible" since it's not the end all, be all in baby food nutrition. For a "bible" I would have expected some color photos. It has many interesting recipes though!

AS A NUTRITIONIST WHO ALSO COOKS FOR A FAMILY I FOUND THE BABY FOOD BIBLE TO BE A COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO FEEDING A FAMILY WELL. I FOUND MYSELF READING IT THROUGH AS THOUGH IT WERE A NOVEL AS THE STYLE IS CONVERSATIONAL. THE DETAILS OF HEALTHY EATING ARE CLEAR; THE RECIPES EASY TO FOLLOW; THE ADVICE RE: PICKY EATERS SENSIBLE.
I MOST LIKED THE EMPHASIS ON FAMILY MEALS. FAMILY MEALS HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE LANDSCAPE AND IT WAS GOOD TO SEE SUPPORT FOR REEMPHASIZING THIS IMPORTANT PART OF FAMILY LIFE.
Extremly informative and easy to read November 3, 2008

This book puts it all together for you. I have 2 children (3 and 1 yrs old). I wish I had this book earlier for my now picky eating 3 yr old. This book helps you understand all the wholesome choices available and how easy and important it is to serve them. What makes this book unique is that the recipes are for the whole family (what a concept)so you are no longer a short order cook. This is a must read for anyone with kids and is very affordable.

I bought this book thinking I would get a good idea of how to prepare nutritious baby food...I got that and then some! It offers recipies as well as a list of some of the best foods for your baby AND theory behind HOW to feed your baby and why. It includes charts on how much to start feeding and when. Way worth the price
