Feeding Your Baby And Toddler

I cannot emphasise enough how useful this book has been for me - I've hardly put it down since my 6-month-old started solids. Annabel Karmel has great tips for cooking in bulk, freezing then reheating safely. My baby has so far savoured everything I've made from this book. It's also great knowing exactly what goes into the food she eats. My only regret is not buying it sooner when my 2-year-old started solids. He hated jarred and powdered food, and even now is a very fussy eater with limited tastes.
I'd also recommend it for adults on wheat-free diets as a lot of the recipes up to 9 months are made from the minimum of ingredients, and virtually no wheat in them.

As a first time mum, starting to wean my baby was a scary and daunting time, I wanted to make sure her diet gave her everything she needed and was varied so she wouldn't become one of those fussy eaters. This book made weaning her far less intimidating, it covers everything you need to know from recipies to how to cope with the fussy eater. My little girl is only 7 months old and loves everything we put in front of her, and I put this down to using Annabel Karmel's book. The recipies look and taste fantastic, so much so that I have adapted some of them to make food for myself and my husband. I would highly recommend that all parents buy this book to give them inspiration with their childs food, from babies all the way through to toddlers. Fantastic!!

I have found this book very useful. I had been feeding my baby the usual meals: carrot, potato, apple and pear purees and was looking for some new inspirational ideas. In my experience I had found my off the cuff combinations of vegetables and meat were refused by my son. However, every recipe my baby has tried from this book has been well received, including the savoury dishes.
Her ideas for mixing sweet and savoury flavours are very clever and the 7-day meal planner is indispensable. The recipes are quick and easy and there are even no cook meals for when you are in a hurry. This book is well worth having and I am glad I bought it.
