Review Quotes

"The Baby Food Cookbook for First-Time Parents is an incredible resource for any parent with an infant or toddler who has wondered what they should be feeding their child. As a child psychologist who specializes in reading and 'translating' scientific research for parents, I often get questions about introducing solids and nutrition--and this book provides an evidence-based overview of developmental milestones in infant feeding, signs of readiness for solids, introducing allergens, and baby-led weaning. As a mother of three, I found the recipes to be easy to prepare, yet nutritious and appetizing to my baby (and my very picky toddlers!). I would highly recommend this book to any parent who needs guidance in introducing an infant to solid foods or simply needs recipe ideas for an infant or toddler!" --Dr. Cara Damiano Goodwin, PhD, licensed psychologist and founder of Parenting Translator
