But what began to drive me crazy is the constant drumbeat of 'breast is best'. No kidding, I know that. I have a baby and I've heard all of it. <br /> <br />I'm so OVER all of it and ready to begin introducing my little one to solid food. Let's just stick with that, ok? That's the title of the book, right? Rating: 2 / 5 The book’s ok — the recipes ok. But what began to drive me crazy is the constant drumbeat of ‘breast is best’. No kidding, I know that.

Anyway, flash forward 18 months, and I have finally started to make some of her recipes. This is so ridiculous! First of all, if you're a working mother - forget about it. I'm fortunate enough to stay home with my son, and have been since he was born, and I still don't have the time needed to mess with this. You are essentially preparing 2 meals if you want to eat anything yourself. The food is tasteful enough for a toddler, but much too bland for adults. The recipes are also incomplete at times. For example, there is a chicken and corn fritter recipe that lists 1 large onion peeled, and then you are to sautee it in olive oil. That's it. It doesn't instruct you to dice, slice, or quarter the onion, and then there's no instruction as to what to do with it! These recipes call for a lot of fresh ingredients, which I'm a fan of, but seriously, I don't want to run to the store every couple of days with my son in tow - so you have to make a lot of things ahead of time and freeze it. This would be fine if I had the time to do it. My son is at the age where he doesn't stay entertained on his own for very long, so I have to play a lot. I don't have time to cook. Finally, there is a section for "picky eaters" which is exactly what my son is. It is his absolute refusal to eat anything but grapes, chicken nuggets, french fries and rice that has led me to try these recipes - finally - and he took one bite of one of the recipes and immediately spit it out and threw it on the floor. All that time and effort immediately wasted!! Maybe my son is one in a million who will refuse these foods, but I don't think so. To sum up, these books just are not worth it.

Over 2 years ago I ordered a magazine as a gift, I also renewed it, and the shipping address was still listed when I ordered above book. Somehow I didn't get it changed;it went to CA and I paid an additional $10 to have it overnited to me in MN. Why aren't shipping addresses deleted after the order. Not too likely that I would always be shipping to the same person. Connie Rating: 4 / 5 Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby

It stained my baby's bib, clothes, and even her spoon! I exclusively breastfeed her and carrot is her first solid, so I didn't have any experience with stains at all. I just washed her clothes and bib in Dreft, but the stain stays. I just wish this book warned me about the stain so I could soak the clothes in Dreft before it became permanent.
