Super Baby Food was: 10 month old

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to recommend the book " Super Baby Food " by Ruth Yaron. You can get

it used on Amazon starting at around $7, or even check it out at your local

library. I can not speak highly enough of the book. Here is the review from

Amazon...

 

" Ruth Yaron cares deeply about what your baby is eating--so much so that her

bestselling Super Baby Food is encyclopedic in both scope and size. Ounce for

hefty ounce, this manual/cookbook/reference guide is worth its weight in

formula, packed as it is with detailed information on homemade baby food,

nutritional data, feeding schedules, cooking techniques, recipes, and other

invaluable feeding tips. Yaron builds her compelling argument for making baby

food at home on the simple premise that food profoundly impacts health,

especially when an infant's developing digestive tract is involved. Parents will

learn why babies should start out on rice porridge, bananas, avocados, and sweet

potatoes before advancing to more difficult-to-digest foods such as wheat

cereals and milk products. While Yaron's passionate stance and vegetarian bias

may turn off some parents, others will be grateful for her strict attention to

potentially harmful additives and chemicals. No matter what their eating

philosophy, most parents will appreciate the economy and surprising ease of

making baby food at home. This is not gourmet cooking; all you have to do is

learn how to boil water and operate a blender. For veggies, simply steam some

vegetable chunks and blend. For baby porridge, just grind some whole grains in a

blender and boil. It's that simple. And when you're feeding your baby, simple is

best. "

fyino dairy for babies also includes cheeses, hard or not.... The evidence

incriminating cow-milk consumption in the cause of type 1 diabetes is sufficient

to cause the American Academy of Pediatrics to issue this warning, " Early

exposure of infants to cow's milk protein may be an important factor in the

initiation of the beta cell destructive process in some individuals. " (The

American Academy of Pediatrics Work Group on Cow’s Milk Protein and Diabetes

Mellitus –

1994).http://www.nealhendrickson.com/mcdougall/020700puthepancreas.htmand no

honey for babies because of risk of botulism that their immature immune system

cannot handle.also no salt or sugar or anything is needed to improve taste- it

doesn't have to taste good to you, just plain tastes fine to them and is better

for them. they aren't conditioned yet to prefer saltier or sweeter foods. the

natural sweetness of mother's milk is plenty sweet for them and they don't need

the salt - natural plain foods (and mother's milk) have all the sodium and

chloride that they need.

Hi again,Amen--lentils, well-ground flaxseed, and whole grain cereals

areexcellent protein sources!Do avoid adding salt to a baby's food, though--I

think their systemsaren't mature enough to handle it until well into

toddlerhood. Ifyou're cooking for the family and want to add salt, cook the

lentilsas Shree suggests, then remove the baby's portion and salt theremainder

for the rest of the family.BTW, the cookbook I mentioned has a few lovely

Asian-inspired recipesfor babies and toddlers. The author's son's father is

Asian, and theirchild apparently inherited a love of spicy food. Theres's a

recipe forKhichri on page 50--lentils, garlic, ginger, etc... yum...Best,Kerri
