This volume is a no-worry, no-guilt guide to feeding your baby, toddler and preschooler. Featuring real world solutions, it gives you the lowdown on getting your child off to a healthy start nutrition-wise, introducing first foods the step-by-step, no worry way, making nutritious, great tasting food.
As a new Mom of a baby approaching the "solid foods" age, I found this book to be very useful. Specifically, I really liked the concise approaches in the book (generally in table format) in the areas of 1) what foods to introduce and suggested general orders, 2) what foods to avoid until given points in time (egg whites, honey, etc..) and 3) how to change textures and introduce new foods as you approach an older baby/toddler. I liked the fact that the approach was "open" in that I don't need to follow as rigid a timeline or schedule as I may have found from other sources. The tips and quotes from other Mom's also made the book unique - afterall, I consider other Mom's to be experts at this point! As a new Mom, I don't have alot of time to read - so I found this easy to read and quick/concise....easier than pulling the information out of multiple other sources. The other great part is where the author gives links to various sources for further info such as baby recipes etc... I also look forward to utilizing the baby food calendar that the author supports through her website. I would definately recommend this book to other new Moms that are trying to figure out the "solid food" thing!

Ann's style makes it easy to navigate the often-difficult world of baby and toddler dining. She covers these topics much better than other books. Ann Douglas gives practical nutrition and allergy pieces of advice and more--sprinkling her books with fantastic and real stories of other moms. She doesn't preach and does allow for the discussion of alternative and natural choices, such as vegetarianism. This book is a great companion to her other works, such as "Sleep Solutions".
