not so much a baby meal planner as a family planner! - Rated
great recipes (shame no pics tho - i do like a recipe book to have pics) which we are still using in our house (not just the toddler recipes) cos they're healthy, low on salt, sugar ecetera and as littlun has got older we've just stopped pureeing them.

good buy and plenty of scope for improvisation if you don't have the exact ingredients

Baby & Toddler Food Bible - Rated
What a fabulous book! I bought this book when my little girl was 3 months old, after a discussion on food with my health visitor and fellow new mums. I started using it when my little one was 6 months old and haven't looked back since, and she's now 18 months old. There are so many recipes to try, and it's very good how the book has recipes for each stage of your baby. The dishes are delicious - I've even served the "Sweet Potato with Spinach and Peas" at a meal for friends and everyone loved it! Also check out the "Pineapple & Raisin Muffins" - they don't last long in our house! My little girl has loved most of the recipes and where occasionally she's not sure, I just wait a few weeks and try again. On the whole she loves the food I've cooked her from this book, and my husband keeps asking me to cook the recipes for him too as they taste so good! This most definately is THE baby & toddler food bible. If you don't buy any other baby/toddler food books, buy this one.

Fantastic! - Rated
I've had this book a few weeks now and tried many of the recipes for my 7 month old son. He loves them all and can't wait to try something new. You can turn a lot of them into soups for adults and they are really tasty. My freezer is now stocked up with loads of healthy meals. This book is a must for weaning and beyond!

Need to be careful with the recipes - Rated
I thought baby under 1 year old shouldn't have sugar, butter, salt....,this book has a lot of ideas but a lot of recipes have sugar, butter and salt, if some mums are not careful and follow this exactly, I'm not sure this is good for the baby. Baby won't know the salt, sugar and butter taste until they try it. I only use this book for ideas but I think the author should be careful with this things on the book. This book shouldn't be called healthy recipes!!!

Caution - Rated
My daughter had an allergic reaction to Annabel's recipe for Apple & Cinnamon. I later discovered that cinnamon can cause anaphylactic shock (a severe reaction, which can be life threatening). I feel this recipe should carry a warning to alert parents to this possibility, and will be more reluctant to follow Annabel's tips in future.
