   Summary: Not for a child with food sensitivities/alergies
I breast fed my baby solely for the first 9 months of his life. He broke out with terrible excema at the age of 3-months. After experimenting with my own diet, we realized dairy and wheat were the culprits. We later realized he had an egg allergy as well when I gave him egg yoke at around 7 months old per the author of this book. Now my 11-month old is handling soy formula well and is a hearty little carnivore. We have been experienting with a lot of finger foods. I recently looked to this book for recipes to give him a little variety in his diet. Unfortunately, Everything is made with egg, cheese and some sort flour or wheat germ. I would expect something like brown rice pancakes to be allergen free or atleast have subsitutes since the author does touch on foods that children can be allergic to. Overall the book is helpful and a good guide but I don't reccommend following her advise in a strict manner. You could get yourself or your baby in trouble.

   Summary: Very bad - if you are a normal parent avoid this book
The book contradicts itself multiple times. For example, "Your baby should be eating 3 meals a day at this point." Then later, "This book is a guideline but you know your baby best." Then later "Your baby should be eating one big super-porridge as her 1 meal for the day." Furthermore, it is poorly organized and poorly written. It is like a choose-your-own-adventure book. For example, it says for 9 month old go to a specific chapter. There it says they should be eating beans and protein, and for that, go to some other page. Then on that other page it says for recipes for beans and protein go to yet another page. That other page has 5 paragraphs, and somewhere in there apparently is supposed to be some kind of recipe, but it is not written out clearly for a parent to grab, reference, and cook. If you plan on doing zero development, not working, and basically leaving the house once a week to buy food, this book may be helpful. If you plan on spending any quality time with your baby other than preparing their food, get a different book. The information may be useful, but it is so poorly organized the book is not helpful. It is also full of "shoulds," ... just what a parent needs, more "shoulds."

   Summary: Way too preachy
I checked out the book from the library (glad I didn't waste money on this book). She is way too preachy and opinions on somethings (meat) are over the top and also dangerous (nuts). My older daughter is allergic to peanuts and I wouldn't think of starting my 6 month old on nut butters as she thinks is just fine. I'm glad that I'm not a stupid person to take everthing she says to heart. Take with a grain of salt or find out how to make baby food with another book. I hope other books are better than this one.

   Summary: Terribly written, but veggie cooking tips helpful
This book is absolutely painful to read and needs a good editor, but I would buy it again just for the section at the back on preparing and freezing different types of fruits and vegetables. There were foods that I knew might be good for my baby, but I wasn't sure which form of cooking would be best. If you plan to feed your baby animal protein, don't rely on this book for help or recipes in that area.

The author's holier-than-thou attitude is incredibly irritating, and I find her to be a bit on the bizarre side. For example, she details precisely how to clean broken glass off a kitchen floor, noting that her final step is to walk on it barefoot to see if any fragments remain. Hmmm.... That said, I still think the cooking info and SOME of the info about when to introduce certain veggies and fruits makes the book worth buying (used if you can).

   Summary: It is a great book but a lot of information
I really like this book. She breaks down month by month what is safe to feed your baby and why. She gives great hints as to how to store and make baby food and what brands to buy if you can't make it. Sometimes the information is a bit overwhelming but if you take it one chapter at a time and pick and choose what you need, it is a great resource.
