I recommend this book

Hello all you mums and expectant mums. I just remembered that I had this great book that I couldn't live without after the birth of my daughter and have now started reading it again as I am due in a few months time.

The book is "Super Baby Food" by Ruth Yaron and it has absolutely everything you should know about feeding your baby and toddler. What food they can and can't eat at certain months etc. Tons of tips, receipes, safety warnings, how to store cooked food etc. I have to admit that this was my saviour when my daughter was at eating solid stage.

My daughter is 5 years old now and I have only just got the book back from various friends who have borrowed it at different times and non of them wanted to give it back!

I bought the book from Amazon.com but I think they also have a website www.superbabyfood.com

Just thought I'd share this with you whilst you are pregnant and have the chance to read it before the baby arrives and you become too busy!

I also used Super Baby Food and loved it! Some people may say it's too "organic, vegetarian - blah blah blah" but I can honestly say that my daughter eats more vegetables and even things like raw onions (she's 20 months old) and doesn't mind it. She will eat her brocoli before she eats her other food - and I do give credit to the book. It's a bit poorly organized (some may complain) but the back section where they go month by month of what food to introduce to your child is EXCELLENT. And - Ruth Yaron claims that by eating this way, your child will build a super immune system - I can say my daughter gets sicker less often than all of her friends.

hkchoichoi did you get the book from the web as well?

I think I ordered mine from the US - I can't remember. It's a bit hard to find - but you might see if one of the bigger stores can order it for you - it's easily available on amazon - which will deliver to HK - you'll have to just pay for the exhorbitant shipping. Definitely check out the website - it can sound a bit "hippie ish" but I loved it. my mother in law thinks it's the reason why my daughter eats everything and wishes she had it when she helped raise my sister in law kids.

I'm glad you enjoyed the book as well hkchoichoi. I certainly couldn't put it down and I learnt so much from it. My daughter loves her vegetables as well and manages to eat tons of it at every meal time. I think it's great and I hope others will find the book as useful as we have.
