Making fresh, homemade meals for your baby and toddler is one of the best ways to give him a healthy, happy start in life. And while every parent can appreciate the convenience of already-prepared foods, balancing them with wholesome meals you have prepared yourself not only provides better nutrition, but also teaches your baby good eating habits. Packed with over 90 recipes and loads of nutritional information, The Baby and Toddler Cookbook makes cooking healthy meals easy, even for busy parents. By setting aside only a few hours a week, you can make and store an array of nutritious foods to keep baby happy and fed. All along the way, this book will give you helpful hints, guidance, and plenty of recipes to ease your path to nutrition. Each chapter begins with detailed information about the child’s nutritional needs and how to address the needs at mealtime. Organized by age, the recipes follow, showing how to introduce different, appropriate foods at every development stage, from 6 months to 3 years. Each of baby’s stages is covered, from starting solid foods and introducing new ingredients and textures, to easing into toddlerhood with plenty of ideas for fun meals, snacks, and desserts. This book also includes tips for making foods ahead, using the freezer to maximum advantage, and making food fun for your toddler.

I love this cookbook! The stages are easy to to follow and the recipes are delicious!! The pictures are beautiful and really inspire you to try the recipes. I have used this cookbook since my little one started eating solids and he now is eating everything. The toddler section is particularly helpful for me as I try to expand lunches and dinners beyond your typical peanut butter and jelly fare. Our favorites are the homemade cheesy noodles with broccoli and the veggie quesadilla with spinach and mushrooms. The food is so good, I make lunch/dinner for the whole family. And most of the recipes use 1 pot/pan for everything and are super quick and easy which is a must for a busy mom!
