Ebury Press Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby & Toddler Meal Planner - 4th Edition

I purchased this book as a present for a new mum with a note saying 'I know its abit boring and practical but it will give you a chance to flick through, before you need it!' I first purchased this book when I had my first child in 2003. I wish someone had purchased it for me as a new mum book! It really helped getting ideas of foods which can be pureed together and then how to tempt them on to lumpier food. My son eat liver, chicken, lamb all recipes in the book! I still use recipes for both my sons still, especially the fish in orange and pineapple muffins! They still ask for the wholemeal rusks! I was proud that i never used a shop jar of baby food for my kids, even when we went away! Great for batch cooking and freezing. You'll also need a few ice cube trays for first stage weaning and small plastic storage containers suitable for freezer and microwave.

I bought this, as I used the old version for my son 10 years ago. It hasn't disappointed. It was nice to look through some of the old recipes I used to make for him, and am now making again for my baby. And it's radiant as nice to try the new recipes - all of which are simple, quick and easy to make.

This is the only book any first time or experienced mother will need for weaning their baby. There are some wonderful, easy to follow day by day charts to guide you on how to wean and when to feed the food you'll be making. Easy to follow recipes included as well as guidance on utensils etc you'll need. This is my fourth child and I bought this now that he's four months old in time for weaning at six months. The book has helped me prepare and now I feel confident and ready to wean when the time comes.

Love this book best baby /toddler recipe book. So many meals ideas to try Highly recommend for any parents out there.

I like the summary before each stage of weaning, the planner and recipes were great and easy to make
