As a parent and a teacher, Monique le Roux Forslund has first-hand experience with the effect food has on children. She has seen how sugar and other fast-working carbohydrates can cause them to become over-active and struggle with concentration. In Healthy Food for a Healthy Baby she shows you how to give your baby a healthy and nourishing start to life. In addition to the more than100 easy recipes appropriate for babies aged six to 18 months, there are tips about natural good food to ensure that your child maintains all-round good health. Although this is not a ‘low carb high fat’ recipe book, the recipes do not include wheat flour and there is less focus on desserts and sweet fruit purees. In addition, there is information on encouraging your child to develop mealtime independence — aka baby-led weaning (BLW) — much sooner than you’d expect.
