Super Baby Food

I love this book, it answers all my questions. All I do is ask my pediatrition and she ALWAYS gives me the Okay. Not to mention that I feel so good giving my children the best of the best. I have even started growing my own ORGANIC VEGETABLE garden with the help of my entire family. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Ruth, your advice and guidance is unparalleled.

A must for new parents, this book will improve the way the entire family looks at nutrition. Many questions answered for first time mothers and fathers, on when to introduce new foods, what foods are the most nutritious, and how to prepare them.

I found this book mostly good, but its written in a very scatterbrained way. It constantly makes reference to other pages and chapters, lacking basic cohesion. Because of this it was difficult for me to read, and I had to read the book in its entirity before using its information. It also had some ideas different from mine, such as introducing nuts so early. On the other hand, it was indeed chock full of useful information, for instance, the author would gush about the endless uses of plastic bags (!). The best thing about the book was her Super Porridge recipe and we use it all the time, so that alone was worth the cost of the book to me. Overall, I agree with other reviewers that a slightly less superior attitude, more organization, a discussion r.e. obviously controversial food intruductions in the appropriate areas, and less overall wordiness would make this book more of a stand out.

I liked the section of what ages the baby can start eating foods and it gives you ideas and recipes to use home grown products.

This book is about more than food. This book is the product of an amazingly frenzied maternal mind. Yes, there is a recipe in here for play dough made with lint gathered from your dryer. Amazing!! How can you not love that. There are so many other tidbits in this crazy delightful creation. Sure, it is also outdated--definitely check with doctors re: what to introduce when. No nuts before 2 I would say, to be on the safe side. Other reviewers have mentioned this of course.
