Reader Reviews
I bought this book because I wanted some easy recipe ideas for my toddler with some of the basic ingredients that I would have on hand. This book appears to satisfy that criteria. However, readers should note that there is a very important mistake about allergens on page 96. In Chapter 6: Foods for Your Crawler: 6-12 Months it says "Keep in mind that you must continue to avoid such potential allergy items such as cow's milk, eggs (although egg whites are okay), strawberries, nuts and honey." Actually, egg whites ARE NOT OKAY at that age - egg yolks are ok. Comment | | (Report this)
