The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies and Toddlers by Anthony Porto, Dina DiMaggio

The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies and Toddlers: Practical Answers To Your Questions on Nutrition, Starting Solids, Allergies, Picky Eating, and More (For Parents, By Parents)  
by 
    I was excited to read this book because for one thing, I grew up helping take care of my 6 younger siblings. Secondly, I love cooking from scratch; thirdly I am interested in health and nutrition. Lastly, I recently began working full time with infants and toddlers at a day care and naturally my interest in babies and their health has increased! I personally don't have any children of my own, but as just explained, I know quite a bit about them! I hope to someday feed my future children very healthily, with homemade foods containing the highest nutrition possible. This paperback guide/cookbook is wonderful. Although the recipes are not all exactly what I would feed my child (many recipes include grains while I would hope to figure a better substitute out for my toddler), I am delighted by the healthy approach this book has. The recipes are full of vegetables and whole grains as well as healthy fats. The book is also full of advice and information concerning your child. This is a fundamental book for any mother, especially new moms! Do get a copy for yourself or buy one for a friend. This would make a perfect baby shower gift. 
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
