Super Baby Food: Your Complete Mass Market Paperback – September 1, 2013

This is literally THE baby food Bible! I ordered this book thru the mail from my hospital bed when my first daughter was born. I used the recommendations and guidelines in this book to introduce all sorts of healthy, organic foods into both of my daughters' diets when they were babies. I started with the pureed foods listed in the book when they were 6 months old, and slowly increased the texture as they were able to eat it, exactly as instructed the book. I cannot imagine why anyone would feed their children anything other than these natural, fresh foods that are so essential to brain development and growth. I truly gained an education in nutrition for my children from reading this book. And the step-by-steps to make everything from scratch are SO easy to follow! I believe that feeding your babies the most natural, organic, and nutritionally-packed foods are the building blocks to the healthiest future possible, and it is our responsibility as parents to do so. There is a reason it is called "SUPER" baby food! My daughters are now 18 and 17, have always been the healthiest and SMARTEST kids in their class (my oldest is a pre-med student with a 4.0), and have maintained a life-long love of any and all fresh fruits and vegetables, and have never eaten a vegetable out of a "jar". I truly believe it is because I followed the recommendations and guidelines in this book. In doing so, I gave them the best possible chance to maximize the health benefits of the things they were eating, as well as giving me the tools to teach them how to love eating healthy. I now buy this book and give it as a gift to ALL expectant mothers I know.

Looking for answers? My 26-year-old daughter is a stay at home mom with a nine month old and she has had so many questions about how to best take care of this baby the right way. Every question that she had in her mind has been answered properly in this book and there’s many more to come I’m sure. We highly highly recommend if you were looking for answers as well, it’s worth the money.

Making your own baby food is easy with this book. I used it for all my children and give it as a gift to anyone expecting. Recipes are easy and lots of great ideas. Tons of info on providing the correct balance of proteins, carbs, fats etc and the healthiest way to achieve this. Baby food is so easy to make. Basically grind mixtures in a decent blender and freeze in ice cube trays, empty into ziplock bags. Perfect serviing sizes. Then take an oatmeal cube, an avocado cube and a fruit and veggie cube. Heat and serve with some yogurt with flax powder etc on it. My children raised on these incredibly affordable healthy recipes were/are virtually never sick or miss days, are robust and strong and fit with excellent BMIs. Can't speak highly enough about this book. Even different games, birthday ideas and homemade cakes etc.

What I like about this book is:- Separate chapters for the different ages of your baby - recommended diets at specific age buckets- chapters on food types that go into more detail. i.e: veges, legumes etc. and under each of these again a description of which foods can be consumed a which ages, benefits of those foods (eg. vitamins or other) how to cook, limitations etc.- the superfood porridge recipe and the fact that this porridge may be made from different bases i.e: oats, millet, barley.- Coverage of some of the emotional aspects of food - for example, I now have a firm view that it is ok in the first start to have a complete mess wihlst feeding the baby, as her touching her food, the bowl, dribbling is part of a critical learning experience vs me making sure I am every mouthful successfully in my baby's mouth!Overall it provided me with enough information to set up a healthy eating plan, but with enough flexibility not to be rigid and for intelligent introduction of foods and recipies.

I bought this book to specifically get ideas for food for my new grandson. Some great ideas in this book. I would highly recommend! Thank you!

I used this book when I was a young Mom 20 years ago and now it's my go to baby shower gift (along with covered ice cube trays). I learned so much from this book. It really got my boy off to a great start!!!

I have a real love-hate relationship with this book. I love it (as I loved the previous edition) as a cookbook for preparing homemade baby pureed and toddler foods. I even enjoy some of the many "Tips" sprinkled throughout that can help parents save time and money feeding their kids.But I hate the fact that it includes many nutritional (and non-nutritional) statements presented as facts that have no scientific backing (aluminum foil is toxic and shouldn't be used, microwaves destroy so many nutrients you should not use them at all, her diet will keep your baby from getting sick, etc.). Some, such as Yaron's caution to stand back at least a foot from your blender due to "harmful electromagnetic fields" veer straight into conspiracy theory land.Bottom line: A great book if you're looking for creative ideas for making homemade baby and toddler food. But look elsewhere for nutrition advice, and if Yaron asserts that a particular food (or machine, or food wrap) is bad for you or your baby, make sure to double-check elsewhere before believing it!
