Making fresh, homemade meals for your baby and toddler is one of the best ways to give him a healthy, happy start in life.

By setting aside only a few hours a week, you can make and store an array of nutritious foods to keep baby happy and fed.

Each chapter begins with detailed information about the child's nutritional needs and how to address the needs at mealtime. Organized by age, the recipes follow, showing how to introduce different, appropriate foods at every development 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 plenty of 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.
