Editorial Reviews

A must-have resource for new moms who want to overcome the overwhelm and uncertainty of starting solids. A realistic and approachable style to feeding little ones, coupled with nutrition expertise and easy recipes. I'm excited to have this guide as a resource to recommend for new parents!” —Marissa McCormick, MS, RD, owner @nutrition4moms

“The Baby Food Cookbook for First-Time Parents is an incredible resource for any parent with an infant or toddler who has wondered what they should be feeding their child. As a child psychologist who specializes in reading and ‘translating’ scientific research for parents, I often get questions about introducing solids and nutrition—and this book provides an evidence-based overview of developmental milestones in infant feeding, signs of readiness for solids, introducing allergens, and baby-led weaning. As a mother of three, I found the recipes to be easy to prepare, yet nutritious and appetizing to my baby (and my very picky toddlers!). I would highly recommend this book to any parent who needs guidance in introducing an infant to solid foods or simply needs recipe ideas for an infant or toddler!” —Dr. Cara Damiano Goodwin, PhD, licensed psychologist and founder of Parenting Translator

“Parents now are inundated with information about the best way to feed their children, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and unsure. Alex's book provides balanced, practical guidelines along with delicious, simple recipes. This is a great resource to empower parents as they begin feeding their little ones.” —Jenna Elgin, PhD, cofounder of Helping Families Thrive, and mom of 3
