Mealtime is a fairly simple process during the first four to six months of a baby’s life. But making the transition from breast milk or formula to solid food can be a challenge for everyone, especially Mom and Dad! When do I introduce solid food to my baby? Which foods are the most appropriate for what age? How much food should I make for my baby? What do I feed to a sick child? Which foods are safe enough for my baby to eat in the car?

FOOD FOR LIFE
It’s an astonishing fact will triple its birth weight in the first year of his little life. This growth is only possible because of the milk he is drinking and the food he is eating. The milk and food you give him build a bigger baby.
The type and quality of food we offer our baby in his first year of life is vitally important. Research indicates that the best time to introduce solids is at about six months of age. Naturally, some babies and circumstances will dictate a different approach, but for the purpose of this book I have assumed that your little bundle of joy is about six months of age when you’re introducing solids.
This is an important turning point, because neither breast milk nor formula alone can provide your baby with enough nutrients, particularly iron, once he reaches six months. The iron stores your baby built up before birth will have diminished. So introducing your baby to solid foods at this age is a crucial part of his development.

- (5/5)I read Baby Bowl, in exchange for honest review from Edelweiss. The book was written by Kim McCosker and published by Atria Books.Offers ways to cook and make homemade baby food. I have read the 4 ingredients series from McCosker and love her. Next, I love the food characters towards the beginning of the book. The characters have names, with a list of their benefits. For example, Avocado is a source of protein and Banana is a source of fiber. McCosker also provides a list of kitchen tools and preparation methods needed to make baby food with. The author also discusses storage methods for fridge and freezer, along with use within time frames. She also discusses food allergies, reflux, gerd, intolerance, and the right time to offer certain foods like nuts and honey. I enjoyed the information more than the recipes. One of the recipes I did like was the Apple Cream--made with Boobie Liquor, rice cereal, and an apple. I have made something similar but I used jarred baby food. The added boobie liquor also keeps people from eating the baby's food out the fridge :-). All of the recipes are easy to make and healthy for the baby. I loved this book.
