This user-friendly book is designed specifically to see parents through every stage of their baby's changing dietary needs with confidence and assurance. Clear, authoritative nutritional advice from a leading childcare writer is augmented by hints and tips on equipment, hygiene, ingredients and preparation, and by features covering perennial concerns such as weaning, feeding frequency and fussy eating. The core of the book consists of 50 simple-to-follow step-by-step recipes for purees and first solid meals, shown in over 250 specially-commissioned full-colour photographs.

Because a baby's needs change so quickly, and so specifically, the book is divided into four sections: babies aged around four months; five to six months; six to nine months; and nine months to one year. In each section there is guidance about foods to introduce and avoid, and about the particular benefits of different food types, so that a clear programme emerges to take the child through its first twelve months and into toddlerhood happily and safely. The recipes in each section reflect the growing repertoire of appropriate foods, and are developed to create a well-balanced diet, full of variety and inspiration.

This is a book that every new parent needs and will use constantly. It solves problems, answers questions, and provides an invaluable recipe source in one reliable and attractive volume.
