Customer Reviews

detailed and specafic

The book is really detailed and specific, while many practicalities are included.As a dietician I recommend it!

Great reference

I'm getting ready to start introducing solid food to my 5 1/2 month old, and this book answered pretty much all of my questions. The doc gave me some guidelines and friends gave me some advice, but who remembers all that? This book seems to sum it all up for me. It's in a nice format too with easy guidelines rather than "you must do it this way" wording. In the breastfeeding part, it does stress that the breast is best, but in the other parts it gives equal attention to feeding both breastfed and formula-fed babies (mine wouldn't nurse and was allergic to the dairy in the breastmilk I pumped, so it was important to me to find a book that didn't make me feel like a bad mother for formula-feeding!). I would highly recommend this one.

Excellent resource

Baby Bites is an excellent resource for every family. I've read several books on child nutrition and this one is my favorite. It has all the information you need to feed your children healthfully. As a mother of two and a registered dietitian, I highly recommend Baby Bites.

This is a great book - wish I had it when my boy was born.

I bought this book to help me figure out what and when to feed my 6-month old son. I wished I had bought it when I got pregnant! It is an excellent resource for nutrition when baby is born up to toddler years. I skimmed through the first chapters since it covered things I've already been through, and I realized that this book pretty much answered all my random questions I had during the first 6 months of my son's life. I tend to be an internet searcher for answers since books tend not to give me the answer I need when I need it, but this book pretty much covers it all and without a lot of extra information. It's easy to skim through so you can get to the points you want to read about, all the information is chunked in an informative way, and it even covers nutrition for vegetarians and vegans, which surprised me. I try not to live with too many "should haves" in my life, but I do keep thinking I should have bought this book months ago. It would have saved me a lot of grief when I was wonder about breast feeding, formula, spitting up, colic, poop color, etc.. Even if you do buy it late in the game, it's well worth the month. Tons of information that will guide parents on the right path when they're feeling completely clueless or frustrated by a lot of advice.

Great Resource

As a new mom of a 9 month old baby girl, I found this book to be so helpful. I wish it would have been available when she was a newborn. The only nutrition information I would receive was bits and pieces from my pediatrician. This book answered all of my questions about food allergies, when to introduce certain foods, and how much to give. It has very easy to follow baby food recipes, and I love the sample daily menus at each stage. It's clear that the author has done all the research and it's nice to have it presented in a clear and easy-to-read guidebook. I have already recommended it to many clients and friends.
