Description
Parents everywhere are turning to do-it-yourself baby food making. They do so to ensure that the food they feed their children is all-natural and free of additives. They do it because, in recent years, pediatricians and dietitians have been recommending that a baby's diet—and especially a toddler's diet—feature a wide variety of ingredients, well beyond what you can buy in jars at the supermarket. And, nothing to sneeze at, they do it to save money—sometimes lots of money.
How do they find the time? It isn't always easy. Enter the wildly popular Instant Pot, along with other brands of electric pressure cooker, the perfect solution for time-crunched moms and dads. Pressure cooking is skyrocketing in popularity in large part because of its speed. You can cook up a batch of baby purees or toddler cereals in a matter of minutes. Consider how long some classic ingredients in baby foods, such as potatoes, apples, and squash, would take to cook up on a stove top or in an oven. Now reduce that time to a fraction of what it was and you can see why pressure cooking is the ideal method for making baby and toddler foods.
No less an expert than Barbara Schieving, the world's most widely read blogger on pressure cooking (her blog is called Pressure Cooking Today), author of the best-selling The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook, and a mom and recent grandmother herself, delivers here 100 tasty and good-looking recipes that will make you feel good about how you are feeding your kids—and will make them smile with delight at mealtime.
For the youngest crowd, she serves up simple vegetable and fruit purees, more-complex combination purees, and an abundance of fruit sauces. For children who are entering toddlerhood, or are already there, there are cereals of all kinds and finger foods and spoon foods for all tastes, no matter how picky. With take-it-to-the-bank guidance on how to get the most from your cooker, plus loads of ideas on how to make and store big batches that will freeze for later use, this is a trustworthy kitchen companion parents will turn to again and again.

Great cookbook for babies, toddlers, and anyone with a sensitive stomach, in my opinion. I think the purées seem wholesome and appealing, and I would eat some of the toddler dinners in a quick minute (see chicken pot pie, especially). Great recipes and photographs, too. Excellent, all the way!

Homemade baby food gets jacked up a notch using the Instant Pot. Cut baby/toddler meal prep time by using this ingenious little device and this well organized & easy to read gem. A must for any 21st century Mom.
I received a ARC of this title from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great cook book for babies/toddlers. My first child is about to turn 2 and i would have loved to have had this book when i was beginning to wean her. Having tried some of the recipes, i am happy to announce all went well and my toddler loved it. I especially like how there is a smash birthday cake section, this is something i had to hunt the internet for last year but luckily this year i have this!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic advanced readers copy of this cook book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

What a find! Did you recently purchase or receive an Instant Pot as a gift? Do you have a toddler, or a baby ready for their first foods? This book is perfect for you then. I loved the little charts that showed you how long you can put your food in the fridge or in the freezer in the intro of the book. I also loved the kind of intro to Instant Pot, because while I did not read my instructions for my Instant Pot, they had instructions in this book so I read all of those :) I loved the vivid picture with white background (who knew you could instagram baby food...). I also loved learning about different types of grains (I've never tried farro so baby is going to be more food literate than me) and all of the recipes were simple (less than a page) and easy to understand. Some of the recipes in the berry section, not gonna lie, I turned them into smoothies for me (Blueberry, apple, spinach and I added banana, yum!) One of the coolest things I learned about using an Instant Pot was how to hard boil eggs, the shells peel off so easily! A great cookbook filled with practical tips and beautiful photos.

This would make a great gift for new parents. We made various purees in our Instant Pot when our son was a baby. The challenge is in finding the right combos so that the texture and taste are appetizing to little ones.
The recipes in this cookbook are clear and easy to follow.

This was a great and easy to follow recipe book with some good idea on how to get the most our of my instant pot and making my own toddler food. My little girl will be two in october and now that I am back to work I am always looking for quick, easy and healthy meals to make her and I would much rather make my own food for her than buy ready to eat meals from the store. This book was clear to follow and had great pictures
