Everything a parent needs to prepare nourishing homemade food for babies and toddlers, starting with purees and progressing to full meals. Nothing is as good-or as cost effective-as making your own baby food. It's fresher and less processed, you know what goes in it, and you can customize ingredients to your child's preferences or health needs. In The 100% Wholesome Baby Food Cookbook, Parents magazine editor Jenna Helwig gives parents everything they need to cook for babies and toddlers from 6 months to 3 years in a way that makes the process easy, fast, and flexible, starting with simple purees and moving on to finger foods and toddler meals. Nutritional information accompanies every recipe, and tips address topics ranging from food allergies to defusing battles with picky eaters. This is an essential book to help parents pave the way for a lifetime of healthy eating.
