Excellent resource for new moms!
I was dependent on this book when I was raising my kids and now I got a new copy for my daughter-in-law to use with my grand baby!

A favorite! Tried & true.
I bought this book as part of a baby shower gift. I paired it with a full set of the re-play feeding dishes/cups/spoons & snack containers. I could tell the recipient was happy with everything. When she opened the book she started flipping through it and looked up and me and smiled. She didn't get another gift like it. I have loved this book for 30 years. When I had my daughter, I was given a used copy. I used it non-stop. I used it when I had my son 5 years later. I still use it to this day to make things for my granddaughter. There are also some recipes in this book that I loved to make for myself, such as the granola. The book has been around for a while, but they republish every so often to keep the content current (like nutritional information, etc.). It's a great book and I'll never give mine up.

New & Improved - From My 1977 copy!!!
I originally bought this book as a gift for my sister when she was expecting my first nephew - in 1977. [It may have been published earlier ...] Of course, I had to try out some of the recipes myself ... Well, I tried so many recipes, that there was evidence on some of the pages! So I was forced to keep that copy, even though I wouldn't have any of my own little ones for 9 more years! But of course I used it for all four of them!So when my son and daughter-in-law were expecting their first, I HAD to find it to give it to them!!!The book arrived in plenty of time for Christmas - in fact it was a few days EARLIER than they had promised!!!Of course, I still have mine - and I just decided to try to bake some home-made graham crackers!!! Yum!!!

Great resource to start solids
I have the updated 1994 spiral bound edition. I ran out to the bookstore in 2003 and bought it at the suggestion of my doctor. I was looking for hands-on concrete advice on how to introduce solid foods to my 6 month old. I wanted to know exactly what to feed him past cereal, how much, and when. This book gave me all of that and more. There are still receipes I refer to for my kindergartner down to my toddler. While there are some receipes that aren't that nutritious most are very healthy or have variations to make them so. There are tips at every turn to help take you from no food to eating solid foods like a pro. a friend recently used this book to make homemade baby food exclusivley for her son, no store bought supplementation at all. Don't get me wrong, this book is also a wonderful resource for toddlers and preschoolers as well.

Feed Me I'm Yours
I bought this book so many years ago for my kids. Now I'm buying it for my grandkids! Love the book and the food mill. One doesn't need a fancy electric food processor to make baby food. Introducing "table" food to kids makes them want to eat everything the family does (read that it helps in having them not be "picky" eaters).One caveat I would suggest is the book does not take into account what pediatricians say NOT to feed your baby these days. For example, honey and peanuts to certain age groups. I would use this book as a guide, but also use your common sense to introduce foods to your kids.The book also has a handy chapter on using finger foods, a nice addition.

Great handy book for parents wanting to prepare homemade baby food.
Provides good advice and guidance for making baby foods for various age groups. I have already made a number of different foods and frozen them in meal size portions for my daughter and her twins. I used this book when my 32 and 35 year olds were babies and the current edition is just as useful and relevant today as it was then.

YOU and your baby need this book!
I used this book over 35 years ago... mostly out of necessity, never realizing the healthful bonus of making your own baby food.Very easy to do, and you save tons of money by not buying ready made food. It is so easy, anyone can do it. I made the food about once a week. You just cook your food and put it in your blender to the desired consistancy. Then, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. When you need the peas, corn, green beans, or chicken "cubes", just pop them out and defrost in the mircrowave in seconds! The book has a lot of good ideas and recipes. I buy this book every time I need a gift for a new Mom.

Nutritious baby food
This book came out when my niece was one. My sister and I began making her food and never looked back. She never bought commercial baby food. Her daughter has raised four beautiful children in Minneapolis under the guidance of this book.When my son was born seven years after my niece, I bought my own edition. He was a huge healthy eater. He loved everything I made from this book. I think the healthy food I made him encouraged him to be adventurous with food, up to the present day as the chief cook for his wife and two daughters. We live in Berlin now, and they had the advantage of a Philip’s mini- processor just for baby food. I bought it now to send to a former student who lives in Chicago. I hope they use it to get their son off to a healthy advantage. This book is now about to to feed a third generation. It’s a book that feeds babies who grow into healthy children and influence their decisions in feeding their own children. It’s one way to save the planet, one hungry mouth at a time.

Recipe book for feeding toddlers
I bought this when I had toddlers who were hard to feed and now my daughter has it too. Has lots of fun ideas besides the recipes.

It's a great book
I used this book for my children in the seventies and now, as a grandmother, I gave my daughter this updated copy. Her baby is not old enough for solid foods but she is looking forward to using it. When my children were small I really loved this book and it was always on hand in my kitchen. Hazel Hobbs
