I actually loved and used this book when my kids were babies. It’s fun to read it again as a grandmother. It’s packed with ideas of what to feed little ones.

I recently got this from the library to check out to maybe give my daughter. I used it when my kids were little (30+ yrs ago) and wondered if it was relevant/useful still. I make the whole wheat bread and swiss cheese bread recipes to this day.
Kind of a basic, all around recipe book for making baby food and play ideas. Doesn't have nutritional info so much.

By far, this is the most useful baby food book I've found. It's got super simple recipes, great tips on how to get even the most finicky toddler to eat right, and the tone is friendly. The spiral binding is a winner, too - just laid it flat on the counter while prepping food, or on the table if I wanted to read it while feeding the baby. Definitely recommended for all moms.

Outrageously good pumpkin muffins!!! And home-made play dough to boot:)

I have a very old copy of this book. The reason I have it is because my mother owned it first. It's certainly as old as I am. I have not read it in its entirety but the parts that I have read are quite interesting and I have done a few of the recipes for my own kids.

The best recipes & tips ever

This was one of my go-to books for all things baby and toddler in the 80’s. It eventually fell apart from usage! I am glad to see it was re-published in 2004.

I discovered this book in the mid-1970s when my first born was an infant. It guided me as I raised my two children. When the grandkids came along, I bought copies of the book for their parents. I gave it as gifts for every baby shower. This copy was ordered for my grandson because he is about to become a father. (And I will be a great-grandma. Amazing!) The book is just that good. It will guide new parents for more generations. It gives advice on making your own baby food; what foods are appropriate for what age-groups. (Can toddlers have hot dogs?) There is practical advice about birthday parties, age-appropriate toys and even a recipe for peanut-butter play-doh. This is a classic. Enjoy!

I found this book when Jordan was a baby and used it a lot when the kids where little. One favorite recipe has been the peanut butter balls (peanut butter, honey & dry milk). The kids love them and they are food you can play with. I pulled this book out the other day and read through it again. It really is a little treasure, packed full of great ideas. Last night I made some homemade english muffins that were delicious. Troy said, "This recipe is a keeper!" On Saturday, I made the banana bread, and it was a hit. Not too sweet and full of nutritious ingredients.

I have the old an old copy of this book, published in 1979.
There are a lot of great ideas for both babies and young children. There's a winning recipe for teething biscuits and another easy one for Pizza for breakfast.

There's a crafts section, a toy making section, how to clean up spots, everyday illnesses, and more. Most of the information is just as good today as ever.

I liked this one although I think it will be more useful when Maleena is a toddler/preschooler when it will be fun to makes shapes with food etc. The baby section is really short but the snack section helped me when she was eating finger foods but didn't have teeth.

This book was given to my mother when I was born by a family friend who was like a second mother to her and subsequently a second grandmother to me, Reese. It has lots of great baby food recipes and tips. It tells you what foods babies should be eating at what ages.

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

My baby's pediatrician in Salt Lake recommended this book to me. It's great - lots of ideas for picky eaters, easy recipes for making your own baby food, etc.

[Suzie Sims-Fletcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best baby food book - well - it WAS the best baby feeding book - I still like to give it as a gift!

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Terrific guide for weary, loving parents. Includes recipes, nutrition facts, parenting advice, party ideas, and even how to make homemade playdough.

Non-fiction. I read the earlier version of this from 1974! Really into bacon bits and honey.

[Mary Parins Reynebeau · Rating 4 out of 5]

My children have grown but I hold on to my copy like that of a treasured family recipe.

[Carolyn Page · Rating 4 out of 5]

Old fashioned, but GOOD. I really really want a copy of this.
