Modern Mushy Peas?
I really don't need yet one more unqualified would-be dietician telling me I need to keep cramming mush into my baby. Even UNICEF now reccomends we drop the facination with purees, so I'll quite happily stop giving Ms. Karmel my money to tell me how to puree the family meal.

Any body heard of Baby led Weaning?
I bought this book before I had come across the concept of Baby Led weaning. This is a process of introducing your baby to food that the family eats. Babies are perfectly able to pick up and eat solid food from as young as 6 months. The gag reflex they have is not chocking, it is a natural response from stopping them eating before their gut is ready to receive solid food. In this book the purees introduce solid food into a babies gut at a time that may not be appropriate. If your baby can push things to the back of it's mouth and swallow then it is ready for solid food. Mushing food up and forcing it past their gag reflex can actually damage your baby and cause digestion problems for the rest of it's life.
Breastfeeding mothers will also be aware of the concept of letting the baby decide how much it would like to eat. If you give your child the freedom to pick up solid food from the start of weaning then there is a huge reduction in the likelihood of childhood obesity. Mushing up food and expecting them to eat a set amount is not helpful.
Ditch the purees and give your baby it's veg in handy chunks. Throw this book away and just cook with no salt - the adults can add it to their dinner and it means everyone is eating the same thing together!
Go on...give it a try!

Absolutely fantastic!
I have used this book from beginning to end. My son is now 12 months old and loves all of the recipes, and more importantly will eat anything as a result. As I also work full-time I found that I could cook up a batch of meals from the book every few weeks and freeze them, and knew I was giving my son healthy, nutricious meals every day. I would recommend this book to everyone - I haven't needed to use anything else.

Annabel Karmel Easy meals
This book is great for those who just don't have any ideas on what to give when starting to wean your baby. My son loves all of the recipies so far, tried a few myself and turned them into a family meal. Easy to follow recipies.

A Must Have book
I bought this book for my son who was 6 months at the time as he didn't really like jarred foods. Now I make up large batches and freeze them and its so easy, just get out meals the day before, heat up and you have a healthy nutritious meal that your child just loves, he likes all of the recipes and eats far more than a child his age should be eating. he just cant get enough of them. I'm buying the baby and toddler ones, because he's 1 now and I would like to continue the fantastic meals. I'm certain he wont object. My husband makes these meals as well.
