Summary:

Based on the most current nutritional information, this concise guide offers new mothers a focused introduction to feeding babies healthy, nutritious foods during their first 12 months of life. With whimsical illustrations and clever recipe names—such as “Cereal Symphony" and “Adam's Eggless Bananawama Muffins"—this handbook even introduces the concept of becoming the executive chef for any parent's new 24-hour home bistro. Filled with colorful asides such as “Foolish Fats," “Funky Fruits," and “Meat Monsters," this compendium is ideal for both working and stay-at-home moms, eliminating the stress from a baby's first year by blending the basics of good nutrition with sound advice. Tips are offered throughout to help parents develop an approach to food that is easy, organized, and fun. Features on shopping and topics such as how to read a food label are also included.
