Baby Food Recipe Books

Hi I am in my second trimester with my first child, but I was looking for suggestions for any books about preparing solid baby food. I would like to make as much of my own food as possible once I am done breast feeding. Thanks I appreciate any advice.

    This is a great webpage which should really give you everything you need:

    https://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/

    Other than cereal, I made all my own baby food.  It's a lot of fun and I think lays the foundation for healthy eating later on in life.  DD is not the least bit picky and I think it's partly because she had so much variety early in life.

    You can also look into Baby Led Weaning.  It's where you give the baby the same foods you eat - no purees, no cereals.  So not only are you making all your own food, it's food you would already be making.

    I second all of this.  That website is great!

    I also took a few books out of the library to look through, and finally decided to buy Super Baby Food, too.  It has lots of recipe ideas for babies and toddlers, and also a big section on preparation, selection, storage, etc for all different individual fruits and veggies, and even how to grow a lot of them in your kitchen (I might have avocado plants all over my house right now, including one grown from DD"s first solid food).  Plus a section on tons of DIY household products for babies and not, like baby wipes and various cleaning products.

    We did this, although my mom sort of teased me when I talked with her about it and said "yea I did that too, only I just called it feeding you." 

    Basic premise is that kids can eat most foods and don't need purees. IMO it's a way simpler way to do things.  There are lots of posts about it on the AP board as well, and there's a book Baby-Led Weaning by Ripley. Although a quick google search/reading gets you the general idea.
