Feeding Baby Green: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy, Childho

I will have to agree with another reviewer who says this book is good for beginners. For those who have a fairly decent knowledge of nutrition and healthier alternatives and those who did their research while pregnant, on the other hand, this book may simply be more of the same.

While I enjoyed what the book had to say regarding the "magical" properties of herbs etc, my largest complaint would be the lack of recipes throughout the book. There are some, and while the text does not call itself a cookbook, I believe more recipes, with a background on why they are the best choice for your child, would have been more suited to my own personal needs. A lot of the information is what you would find in any pregnancy guide, magazine or website.

If you have already had children or are one who is extremely health conscious, you are not likely to find a host of profound information in this book that you have not come across previously. That being said, it is certainly a viable guide for those who want to change their nutritional lifestyles for themselves, their kids and their environment (if they have not already done so).

This book has everything! If you're like me and a picky eater, you've probably wondered how to get your kids to eat things you don't eat. I was fed a very limited variety of foods as a child, and as a result I've always been very picky. This book explains why me and countless other Americans prefer the taste of packaged, processed foods loaded with salt and sugar, over fresh, wholesome, good food. So what did people do before the bland, jarred baby food of the industrial revolution hit store shelves? Read this book to find out!

What is included:

The definition of "baby" food

How to eat while pregnant to maximize the chances of your baby being an adventurous eater later on

How to introduce foods in a way your baby will find intriguing

Recipes

How we inadvertently teach our toddlers to become picky eaters

Facts about what's actually in baby food

How jarred baby food came to be in the first place

How to approach eating as "fun" and create enjoyable food experiences

You not only become educated on what to feed your baby, you become educated on the entire process of how consumers came to depend on Gerber and other baby food companies as the only way to feed a baby. I was always told that it wasn't safe to introduce too many varieties of fruits and veggies to a baby at once, but this book dispels that myth and so many others.

this is one of my favorite baby feeding books! forget the bland, jarred purees with BPA leaching caps, the constipating cereals, and the different "stages" that commercial baby food manufacturers try to sell us. dr. greene shows us why it is so much better to make our own baby foods, and how easy it can be! dr. greene (like dr. sears) also recommends the using a "Treasure Tray," a fun tray filled with healthy finger foods for baby (or toddler or even older) and letting him/her explore different foods, tastes and textures. we also always let our baby nibble off of our plates, and did what is called 'child led introduction to solids' and she loved it! today, at 3 1/2, she eats any and everything i put in front of her-including kale and broccoli.

I ordered this book because I really enjoyed reading Raising Baby Green. Feeding Baby Green actually covers a lot of the same information covered in Raising Baby Green, but goes into a bit more detail. I pretty much skipped the whole first section on what to eat during pregnancy, since Raising Baby Green already covered the topic.

Overall, the book is practical and useful. I especially liked that Dr. Greene covered formula/bottle feeding. I had not expected to need that section, but after having had serious problems while breastfeeding my son, I was thankful that he gave suggestions for keeping bottle feeding as "green" as possible. However, I think he also covered that topic in Raising Baby Green, as well.

In short, I did like this book, and I found it to be helpful. If I had to do it over again, though, I would check out Feeding Baby Green from the library and buy Raising Baby Green, instead of the other way around.

Baby food is a myth. At first glance, this seems like an overly simple statement, or maybe even an outlandish sales pitch. But as I continued to read, the weight of Dr. Green's bold statement hit me. Does he realize he's going completely contrary to a foundational belief in our society? What are his intentions and how does aim to support such a claim? The answers to those questions quickly became clear, along with a solution to our ever-growing problem of toxic chemicals in our children's food.

I know you're wondering if it's really a smart idea not to follow the Stage 1, 2 and 3 exactly as you've been told. You're thinking that it will take too long to prepare fresh food for your baby. And then what if you're not sure you can provide your baby with a balanced diet?

Drop the worry, let the fear go and dump your pre-conceived ideas about how babies should be fed. Dr. Greene has orchestrated an amazing and doable journey for you. Feeding Baby Green is so much more than a "how to" book it's a stolen look into Dr. Greene's own journey to freedom and joyful family meals where baby is included instead of separated.

And those concerns of BPA and toxic preservatives harming your baby's health? They become drastically diminished in a world where you prepare one dinner for the whole family, without the need for jarred and canned baby food. In the process your child will learn how to enjoy healthy, unprocessed food for life.
