Helwig (Baby-Led Feeding) highlights the benefits of the multi-cooker, such as Instant Pot, for food prep for babies. Practical advice includes urging cooks to read the manual since the appliances may not be intuitive. Other equipment featured include slow cookers, blenders, and potato mashers. Nutritional information, feeding schedules, and age recommendations for different types of foods are discussed. Recipe sections are divided by age: six to eight months, eight months and up, and eating with the family. Tropical fruit salad, coconut rice porridge, and butternut squash and kale farrotto are examples of the tasty options. Along with recipes for purees and finger food, the work also addresses how to raise a happy eater and avoid pickiness.
VERDICT This handy resource offers many ideas and strategies for making your own baby food.
