Very useful and easy to follow. - By: Mrs. R. L. Stokes, 24 Aug 2008 
This book is amazing! I find myself using it on a daily basis to look things up as well as using the recipes. It's great for people like me who do not have a clue about cooking as it is very easy to follow. Even if you are a good cook already, you will find this book invaluable for giving you ideas on what to give your little one. I think my daughter would be living on jars of baby food if I hadn't bought this book!
tedious waste of time - By: minarabia, 24 Aug 2008 
Why cook separately for children? Why not simply give them smaller portions of properly made food for adults? I bought this book when my children were very small, I had made my own baby food, not through any sense of righteous "earthmotherlyness", but through necessity brought on by livingin the Central American jungle. Using this book meant I doubled up cooking first for my children & then for myself & my husband. Until I saw the light, threw the book away & stopped wasting time & money. Use a decent proper cook book, & teach your children to eat food not cartoon faced vegetable caterpillars.
Tasty, easy recipes - By: fat lady sings, 09 Aug 2008 I got thisin preparation for weaning my daughter who is 11 months at time of writing. Every recipe we have tried has been a winner & mum & dad have even enjoyed some too! I would recommend Gina Ford's weaning book alongside this one as a more comprehensive guide to actually going about weaning. This is better for the recipes.
Unnecessary to feed your baby purees - By: Mrs. A. Lancaster, 05 Aug 2008 
Annabel Karmel maintains that purees are necessary even when starting weaning at 6 months, however there is no scientific or research basis for this. Purees are totally unnecessary & an unnatural way of introducing food to babies. Babies of 6 months plus can eat normal finger food with their family at the table- there's no need to play 'aeroplanes' or spoon mush.
Buy this Baby-led Weaning: Helping Your Baby Love Good Food instead & it will tell you all about how babies can feed themselves to start off a healthy, positive relationship with food.
Excellent easy and tasty recipes - By: Kingston Mum, 24 Jul 2008 This book is excellent! The recipes are categorised by age & gradually introduce your baby to new tastes & textures. The recipes have simple & few ingredients & are easy to follow. I followed the meal planner but found it a bit ambitious, but I just adapted it to when my daughter was ready for new tastes. She's 7+ months now & really loves mixed fruit & vegetables, braised beef casserole & will eat anything with cheese sauce. This is the only recipe book you'll need when starting weaning. I only wish I'd look as neatly turned out as Annabel when I'm cooking batches of food for my baby!
