Healthy eating for babies

Healthy First Foods for your Baby gives a host of recipes for main meals and puddings, taking baby from those first tastes at 4-6 months to lumpy foods suitable for them at 6-12 months and finger foods for when they’re able to handle food themselves at around 6 months.

This original, fun and easy-to-follow book is written by a mother with experience of bringing up two children. It contains a short introduction on feeding your children, a section on creating a healthy store cupboard and what foods to keep on hand, how to use them and their nutritional value. The recipes are then organized according to the feeding age.

The recipes, all of which are vegetarian, have been tried and tested on babies and toddlers from Caitlin’s own family, friends and her local parent and toddler group - so we know they are baby-friendly.

In fact with recipes like Easy Peasy Potato, Winter Vegetable Surprise, Spicy Autumn Fruits, Summer Delight, Herby Mushroom Omelette, Apricot Fruit bars and Cheesy Squares, you’ll probably end up enjoying them for supper yourself.
