Baby Bowl: Home-Cooked Meals for Happy, Healthy Babies and Toddlers

Description

Mealtime is a somewhat easy and simple process during the first four to six months of a baby's life. But soon, as babies start making the transition from breast milk and formula to solid foods, parents find themselves asking some difficult questions: * When do I introduce solid food to my baby? * Which foods are the most appropriate for what age? * Should I follow a particular feeding schedule? * How much food should I make for my baby? How do I prepare it? * What do I feed a sick baby? * Is it ok to give my baby food in the car? If so, what? From the co-author of the internationally bestselling 4 Ingredients series, Kim McCosker, comes the definitive book on cooking for babies.
