Question by yahooanswersmom: What are your favorite natural baby/toddler nutrition books?
I buy organic baby food but I am much more interested in making it myself, and specifically, in having a complete PLAN that will spell out my baby’s needs. He is not quite a toddler (10 months) and not eating chunks yet. He has no teeth. So, I am interested in baby and toddler books.

i am wondering the same. but what you need to do is get a blender and just blend the same kind of stuff you were giving him in the jars. you can blend anything! my mom used to just put some of whatever it was her and my dad were having for dinner (they ate/eat healthy) aside and blend it for us. really is the best thing to do. you want to make sure they are getting variety so that they are benefiting from all of the different nutritional values..
What do you think? Answer below!
I love the book “Super Baby Food” by Ruth Yaron! I made almost all of my daughter’s solids (including cereals because she most likely has Celiac Sprue (a wheat/gluten intolerance) and most infant cereals have wheat or were at least processed on machinery that also processed wheat. There are tons of healthier alternative grains out there to make cereals out of. My daughter’s favorite is still quinoa – and she’s almost 16 months old! I mix it with apple sauce or some other fruit or veggie and she LOVES it! I also use all organic foods. The book is very good. I have read many and no other comes close. This one explains all the foods, when its okay to give them, tons of recipes, etc. There are a ton of recipes for children from baby through the toddler years – I even like most of the toddler snacks and it helps me to eat a bit healthier since I’m already making it for Avary! I highly recommend the book! Here’s the web site for it; http://www.superbabyfood.com/
Enjoy!
Buy vegetables and fruits boil them and blend them, also make soups and feed it to him bur before throw some bread inside to make it like puree. Potatoe, carrot chicken puree is good you can do anything really, I am going to do it myself when my Baby is old enough and you are doing fine to chose to do them yourself!
none -your babe can eat the same foods as the rest of the family. there’s no rocket science involved. your current cookbooks & recipes are great. serve in smaller portions.
