Together with its companion volume, Baby and Toddler On the Go, The Baby & Toddler Cookbook offers a fresh and nutritious approach to feeding children from 6 months to 3 years.

Making fresh, homemade meals for your baby and toddler is one of the best ways to give them a healthy, happy start. While every parent can appreciate the convenience of already-prepared foods, balancing them with wholesome meals you prepare yourself not only provides better nutrition but also teaches your baby good eating habits.

Packed with over 90 recipes and loads of nutritional information, The Baby & Toddler Cookbook makes cooking healthy meals easy, even for busy parents. By setting aside only a few hours a week, you can make and store an array of nutritious foods to keep your baby happy and fed. This book will offer helpful hints, guidance, and plenty of recipes to ease your path to nutrition.

Each chapter begins with detailed information about a child's nutritional needs and how to address these needs at mealtime. Organized by age, the recipes show how to introduce different, appropriate foods at every developmental stage, from 6 months to 3 years.

Each of baby's stages is covered, from starting solid foods and introducing new ingredients and textures to easing into toddlerhood with ideas for fun meals, snacks, and desserts. This book also includes tips for making foods ahead, using the freezer to maximum advantage, and making food fun for your toddler.
