Baby Event: “Super Baby Food” Book Review and Giveaway CLOSED

It’s true that as parents we all want to do the best we can for our children in every possible way, but no one ever said that was easy especially when it comes to convincing them to eat the right foods.  Ruth Yaron’s “Super Baby Food” book is what every parent needs to help them with feeding their child for the first three years of life.  The book contains all the information on when and how to start feeding your child solids and continues on to help with recipes and diets for your toddler.  There are nutrient tables, feeding schedules and worksheets, and even information on allergies and when to introduce certain foods.  With over 350 food recipes and an additional section on recipes for homemade play dough, finger paints, food decorating, and even cake patterns, this book is bound to help out each and every parent with young children!

I have to admit to you that when I was asked to review “Super Baby Food”, I had no idea how great the book was actually going to be.  I figured it was just another one of the same books I have seen and read that has simple steps to pureeing veggies and fruits for my little one.  While I’m all about making my own baby food, I didn’t really expect to learn much from the book.  I actually let it sit around for over a week before I picked it up.  I have made my own baby food for my older two children so what more did I possibly need to know, right?  Well I’m not afraid to tell you how wrong I was. 

This book has so much useful information.  I wish you could see and feel my excitement over this book!   Feeding my children healthy foods is extremely important, but I have to admit that in my hurry of getting in and out of the grocery store, I find myself not always taking the time and energy to read and understand the labels on all the foods I am purchasing for my children to consume.   It’s nice to now have a book in my hands that helps gear me in the right direction.  Even after several weeks of having this book in my possession, I still have not read it from cover-to-cover.  Each time I pick it up, I get so excited about all the different ideas and concepts and recipes that I jump from different areas of the book, taking in as much knowledge as I can.  My absolute favorite part of the entire book though is the recipes!  Why have I never, ever considered being even more frugal than clipping coupons for cheap yogurt and make my own?  The recipe is so simple and I bet it tastes even better than the store-bought yogurt anyway!  You can even check out the Super Baby Food website to view some of the great recipes you can find in the book by going HERE!  The 350 recipes are quick, easy, and nutritious.  They also give you simple ideas for healthier snacks for your children.  My kid’s new favorite (and again, not sure why I never thought of this myself) is peanut butter banana sandwiches.  They are just that:  two slices of banana with peanut butter in between.  They LOVE these!

It’s been a busy few weeks around my house so I haven’t had a chance to do one of the many recipes I have page-marked in my book, but I cannot express enough how many great ones there are.  I can almost guarantee the book has at least a handful of ideas for foods that your child may eat that are healthy that you haven’t thought of as a mom! 

While I am going on and on about the recipes, there are still so many more aspects of the book that I haven’t even touched on yet.  Being a crafty mom, I love the section on crafts.  My kids love finger paints, but I bet you they are going to love making their own finger paints even more!  I could really go on and on about the “Super Baby Food”.  It contains information on every aspect of feeding your infant and toddler from the minute they begin to consume solid foods.   Even though my oldest is 4.5 years old, I am still finding plenty of useful information to help me even with her feeding habits!  This is a book I would highly recommend for any parent!  It just may be my new go-to baby shower gift!
