I think its really important to give babies fresh food too even if you give jars …We dont eat food every day that has a shelf life of over a year and babies grow more rapidly in their first year than at any time in their life and fresh food retais more nutrients than jars. Its easy to mash a banana, avocado or papaya to make nutritous baby food and mashed avocado and banana together was a favourite with my children when they were babies. The recipes in my book are simple to prepare and I have designed them so that you make more than you need and freeze extra portions so you only need to cook a couple of times a week… Regarding allergies unless there is a family history of allergy its important to introduce variety into your babies diet and babies need foods like chicken , meat and fish as iron and essential fatty acids are important for their development. My Chicken Sweet Potato and Apple makes a good introduction to chicken and my Fillet of Flounder with Carrot , Cheese and Tomato makes a delicious introduction to fish . I hope I can encourage more mums to realse that cooking for their baby is easy and very rearding as you know you are giving your baby the best start in life.. Enjoy..Annabel

I have the baby puree book and it's fabulous! Unfortunately, the boys have decided they like finger food better, so now I should look at the second book; however, I've now decided to try to go back to making family dinners and cutting up into finger foods what we've been eating. So far so good. .-= Heather´s last blog ..Boys Last Synagis Shots and Busy at Work =-.
