Best Baby Bottles

Alison Behar:

I agree with the premise of feeding the baby organic food and that making food from home is worth the time. Like others, I found her writing style disorganized. But it wasn’t the layout of the book that is as bothersome as the author’s credentials, or should I say lack of credentials. I thumbed through the book to find out that she did a lot of research on the subject matter. Personally, I find that frightening, she is lending her opinion and it isn’t a medically backed one. What did she research, was the research written by others not in the medical field……….she can’t back what she writes.

This author is too paranoid! She thinks people shouldn’t drink soda until they are 21 years of age… come on?! As a first time mother, there are enough things to worry about regarding your baby and this book tries to make you neurotic in every category possible. I am taking this book back to the store.

I read this book with disbelief. No one wants to protect and nourish my (as yet, unborn) baby as much as I do. I plan on making healthy food. I plan on buying high quality, organic base ingredients. I also plan in using bought baby food when needed — without guilt. I am not a vegetarian, but I eat very little meat. I am just not as fanatical as the author. I asked one of my friends who is a pediatrician about the book and the suggestions. She laughed. Literally laughed and said she wouldn’t feed her kid some of the stuff in there for anything. She also mentioned several of the other factors that are highly contested by the other reviewers — excess of soy; nuts at an early age; making your own spinach and carrots, etc.

Personally, I am a pretty picky eater. And I would put much of that food in my mouth for anything. I’d probably gag making it. My husband will eat absolutely anything. I’m embarrassed to admit some of the things he’ll put in his mouth, chew, and swallow. And he didn’t even like the recipes.

Overall, there are some good points (though driven into the ground by repetitiveness) such as proper food preparation and storage. I suggest “First Foods” over this book any day.
