» ravenfairie - baby food cook book hi Sara, i was wondering if you or anyone who visits here knows of a good whole food cook book for making baby food. My son is almost four months old and I'm thinking about starting him on solid food in the next few months, but would like more information about making baby food before i do.Any suggestions for good books or websites would be really apperciated and helpful, thanks Anne -- posted by ravenfairie » msaraann - Re: baby food cook book In response to message posted by ravenfairie:I don't know of a specific cookbook, but I found Dr. Sears', "The Baby Book," had some helpful information about making baby food. For me, it's been hard to find a good baby food cookbook that didn't include foods like dairy that I wasn't comfortable feeding my daughter. I think that as long as you are careful to avoid common allergens (milk, eggs, wheat, soy), your baby can eat almost anything that is an appropriate consistency. I hope this helps. -- posted by msaraann » biogardener - availability I see good books on the subject in secondhand stores every time I visit them. I just don't need them, so I don't bother buying them. I would recommend that you visit a local bookstore and hunt around, because there are lots of them available. That way, you can see which one appeals to you.-- posted by biogardener » amooska - baby food cook book Hi,I have a recommendation for you, with a qualifier; First Meals by Annabell Karmell. It's got recipes and presentation ideas (ex. nibbling trays of finger foods with dipping sauces) from first foods through five, along with menu plans, pantry stocking/equipment lists, vegetarian recipes and info, and nutrition information. My qualifier is to recommend cross referencing with another source. I love this book, but it does seem to rush things: suggesting starting solids at four months (I've seen articles recently linking early feeding with obesity and diabetes). First Meals also introduces specific foods long before what is recommended by either pediatricianian or the Dr. Sears Baby Book mentioned in another post here. I prefer to go slowly and play it safe, particularly with the more allergic foods such as dairy, wheat and eggs. (Although my eight month old son is a real chow hound, and we have yet to experience any negative reaction stronger than dramatic grimaces at tastes he doesn't like  One other suggestion: Amazon.com is a great resource for comparing books, their customer reviews are very helpful. -- posted by amooska
