I have to say though, I don't really follow the recipes, I use it more for ideas of recommendations and things that might work well together - plus I'm not a great or confident cook so I really do need telling what to do with a dried apricot before I blend it!
Maenad has a point though, if you cook from scratch and don't add salt, baby can pretty much eat what you do from quite early in the weaning process. I'm on baby 2 now, and we have a much better diet now as I have to give it more thought for the sake of my 2 year old's diet (I'm not an incompetent cook, just not very adventurous, and hubby wouldn't eat it if I was!), so I do use the book less this time, but I'm still referring to it for ideas - and some things to keep in the freezer for her when we have something unsuitable (even things like fish fingers and sausages my 2 year old has occasionally but I wouldn't give to a baby), and obviously she wants lunch and dinner and isn't very good with sandwiches etc yet, so sometimes needs something different then. Most days though her dinner is what we had the night before, either blitzed a bit or just mashed.
it has a few recipe ideas/suggestions but they aren't the focus.

Oh, and the fucking hairbows. For the love of christ.
Maenad - what on earth does she say about breastfeeding?
Just cooked the braised beef and rice pudding (separately). My 10 month old loves her recipes.
