The Big Book of Organic Baby Food: Baby Purées, Finger Foods, and Toddler Meals for Every Stage (Spiral Bound)

Description for Sales People:
-Why this book instead of the competition?oPeople who buy 201 Organic Baby Purées love it for the sheer number of purées (especially combination purées) it offers, plus straightforward meal plan suggestions for feeding babies as they move through different food stages. People who buy Real Baby Food and Little Foodie love them for considering purées and family meals as two sides of the same plate. Parents clearly want both - lots of options for purées and lots of options for cooking one thing the whole family can eat (with adaptations to texture, amount, complementary food) as babies grow. It doesn't have to be either/or. Our book considers baby along with the whole family, providing the most natural, healthy recipes for babies and the people who feed (and eat along with) them.oOur Target Audience: Busy parents who want to give their babies they healthiest food, and have lots of options, but don't really know what they're doing. They know "organic" is a good thing but they're not foodies per se. They want to make purées and meals with food untainted by pesticides but that want those meals to be quick and easy, using familiar ingredients. They don't know it when they're buying this book, but they're going to learn how easy it is to eat healthy, and by making their own baby food they're going to become healthier themselvesoAuthor is tk but will be a baby food blogger with a foreword by a nutritional expert
