Deciding what to feed your baby can be a real challenge. You eat healthy, you use only organic foods, and you avoid processed foods. Many new moms want their babies to have the same thing, and this has resulted in a huge amount of new moms making their own baby food at home. If you want to make your own baby food at home but aren’t quite sure how to get started then you should check out one of these three books about preparing your own organic baby food.
Feeding Baby Green: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy Childhood and Beyond
Written by Doctor Alan Greene, who Parenting Magazine has called “the Al Gore of Parenting”, Feeding Baby Green: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy Childhood and Beyond is a phenomenal book written with eco-conscious parents in mind.
Unlike most books on feeding babies Feeding Baby Green offers nutritional advice for baby before the baby is even born. Not only does Dr. Greene offer baby food recipes throughout the book, he also explains what types of foods are best for baby and why. In fact Feeding Baby Green lays out a feeding plan for your baby for about the first three years of your babies life.
If you are looking for a straight up cookbook on baby foods, this is not the book for you but if you are looking for nutritional information as well as recipes then this is the perfect book for you.
Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook
The Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook is written by Lizzie Vann and edited by Daphne Razazan. Featuring over seventy recipes for babies and toddlers ranging in age from four months old to preschoolers, the Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook offers full-color photographs to compliment the recipes.
Among the recipes found in the Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook you will find recipes for pumpkin stew, hummus, lamb, and fish.
While there are many glowing reviews for the Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook there are also some very negative reviews on the book as well. Among the main complaints concerning the book are the author’s comparison of breast milk to formula (she states that today’s formula is comparable to breast milk), and the fact that she does not really consider the fact that parents are encouraged to only introduce one new food at a time, while waiting four days between introducing new foods in case of food allergies.
