Very preachy and wordy (

I read this book with disbelief. No one wants to protect and nourish my (as yet, unborn) baby as much as I do. I plan on making healthy food. I plan on buying high quality, organic base ingredients. I also plan in using bought baby food when needed -- without guilt. I am not a vegetarian, but I eat very little meat. I am just not as fanatical as the author. I asked one of my friends who is a pediatrician about the book and the suggestions. She laughed. Literally laughed and said she wouldnt feed her kid some of the stuff in there for anything. She also mentioned several of the other factors that are highly contested by the other reviewers -- excess of soy; nuts at an early age; making your own spinach and carrots, etc.
Personally, I am a pretty picky eater. And I would put much of that food in my mouth for anything. Id probably gag making it. My husband will eat absolutely anything. Im embarrassed to admit some of the things hell put in his mouth, chew, and swallow. And he didnt even like the recipes.
Overall, there are some good points (though driven into the ground by repetitiveness) such as proper food preparation and storage. I suggest "First Foods" over this book any day.
