This book has a wealth of recipes for babies age 9 to 12 months (stage 3) and 12 months and up (stage 4). It also contains helpful tables detailing what types of foods to introduce when as well as lists of standard equipment and items with which to stock your pantry. There are instructions for storage and freezing.

This is also one of the few baby cookbooks that really stresses breastfeeding and is written for mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding. There are even good recipes for a mother's diet at the beginning of the book.

I'm glad I checked this book out because it gave me a few good recipes, but i could have easily gotten them from wholesomebabyfood.com or something similar.
