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 diseaseThe 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! |

Simple, Easy, and Informative Baby Food Book by Sandra Chow (NY, NY) 5 Stars
August 08, 2009
After looking through many baby food books on how to feed my toddler, I finally came upon Baby Food Bible. This is the best book I've found so far. The author balances nutritional information and recipes very well. The book is well organized and is easy to read. She touches on a lot of different topics and gives you a complete answer and understanding without going overboard in text.
The first part of the book discusses nutrition and is very informative. She even talks about some of today's hot topics such as obesity, allergies, gluten free diets, fatty acids, high fructuose corn syrup, how to set up a schedule, and what kinds of vitamins and minerals are important.
Then she moves on to an A to Z section of ingredients. Each food has a short summary, how to prepare it and how to store it. This is my favorite part. Sometimes I just want quick and fast instructions, such as for apples, beets, or papaya.
The end section is a recipe section that is separated into different meals. I've tried many of her recipes and they have all turned out great. The recipes are not overly complicated and only require the most basic ingredients. Most only have 5 or 6 ingredients and they taste delicious!

a great book when it's time to introduce solids by S. Duncan 5 Stars
May 19, 2009
This book's format made it easy to read and later reference. I liked how she gave basic prep and cooking instructions for a variety of common foods. Several handy charts, and tables, too. This helped ease my worries when about to transition to solids.

not very useful by Navy Doc/Mom (San Diego, CA)  1 Stars
April 22, 2009
I wanted a book to help me transition my 12 month old from pureed baby food to textured solids. I thought the "bible" would help me do this. This book has some good information, but the recipes reminded me of a Moosewood or American Heart Association cookbook. Nothing special. She strays into advice on parenting and preventing obesity, including telling parents how they should or shouldn't be eating. This would be fine if she covered baby questions first, but to have gaps in that info and then wander off into those topics I found annoying.

Decent information, but not very user friendly. by A. Kim  3 Stars
April 03, 2009
This book provides a good introduction into mealtime and feeding your baby, but I was hoping for a more user friendly book that I could quickly consult for baby food recommendations. The book is more about the importance of establishing a good meatlime ritual with your baby, as opposed to specifics of what to actually feed your baby and when to introduce specific foods. It's generally easy to read, but also a bit dense.
