Not everybody does it, I guess just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259321 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:43:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 259321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received one as a gift and I love it. The nice thing is that it's divided into stages, so they have the simple purees for 4-6 months, then at 6-8 months they start doing a few compination purees. At 9+ they actually give you family recipes and ways to make it for baby. Which is so awesome because essentially you want your baby to eat what you eat.</p> <p>I like it - but if I hadn't received it as a gift I probably wouldn't have bought it just because I don't see the point of baby cookbooks. But you could check some out from the library and see if you think they're worth buying.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Start-Fresh-Childs-Lifelong-Healthy/dp/1609611942/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345048914&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=start+fresh" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Start-Fresh-Childs-Lifelong-Healthy/dp/1609611942/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345048914&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=start+fresh</a> </p> [attach=1597/12/m8t2fv.300x300.startfresh.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259313 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:37:48 +0000 Mrsbells 259313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: why do you strain after pureeing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259311 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:37:09 +0000 Mrsbells 259311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259308 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:34:32 +0000 heffalump 259308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a book, but it wasn't really worth it. Every recipe was the same. steam, puree, strain. Steam, puree, strain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259277 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:03:56 +0000 LivsMama 259277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used wholesomebabyfoods.com as well, but liv didnt eat purees so we went to baby led weaning. From my friend's advice, they all said skip the baby food books, especially the Beaba one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-books#post-259195 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:13:26 +0000 Clementine 259195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here just using what's on wsbf.com!

I've seen some books on amazon and I wonder if any of them are worth buying? </p>
