I was excited to receive this book but quickly became disappointed. The more I read, the more nervous it made me about all the possibly bad effects of introducing this or that food to my baby. It’s very conservative in nature, often suggesting you delay giving foods that most others (my pediatrician, other cookbooks, common wisdom) tell you are fine. I was also disappointed to find very few recipes that I wanted to cook. It’s still sitting on my shelf, basically unused.
Rating: 1 / 5
This baby cookbook had too much introductory and too little recipes. Way too wordy for a busy mom. I would recommend the cookbook that Williams and Sonoma sells. A book that has lots of recipes for easy, fun and edible baby food.

This book has been indispensable to me. My son is 11 months old and we have been using this book since I started him on solids at 6 months. He did not like plain cereals, so I started him with squash mixed with different grains and he loved it. I don’t see anything wrong with the tone in which the book is written. The writer is not alarmist, just very honest about the potential effects of foods.
There is a ton of great information on vegetarian pregnancy and raising your child vegetarian as well. The author does a great job presenting that information without being judgmental about either choice. I highly recommend this book for anyone willing to make a change from their convenient, unaware lives to conscious living and eating.

In order to keep this as short and sweet as possible I’ll say that I totally agree with all the 5 star reviews already posted. Although I haven’t yet started my baby on solids, we’ll be starting in another two weeks. After reading this book I feel much more prepared than after reading 3 other books on the subject. The author is much more conservative and slow to introduce foods but with food alergies hitting an all time high in our country I’d rather take it slow than risk my daughter developing allergies. After following J. Rubin’s recomendations I’ll know that I did everything possible to avoid allergies.
Also, the book is right in line with my philosophies of how we should eat; organic and as much local produce as possible. I love the fact that she explains, with fantastic information, why we should eat organic and local. After reading this book, I can’t imagine any parent would disregard the information on organic foods or worse feed their child store bought baby food all the time.
In short, fantastic book! ALL PARENTS OF AN INFANT SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!
Rating: 5 / 5
We had decided from the beginning that we would be making our own baby food. It just fit in with our lifestyle and parenting ideals. Plus, we could control exactly what was going in our little one’s body. Buying organic and local when possible makes things even more healthful and good for the earth.
This book guides you through the different nutritional developmental stages and provides recipes for each. Of course anyone can make mashed bananas without a recipe, but there are some other tasty things to try. Great overall resource and helps you decide when and how you’ll feed your child.
