When I started feeding Colby, I didn't have a clue on what foods were appropriate for what age. This book helped me tremendously to know what is safe and what he isn't ready for yet. She listed every fruit and veggie you can think of and for each one she gives information on the food, what age and why, how to buy it (ripe), how to cook it, save it, etc. I'm not going to list all that info but i will tell you main foods and what age. I hope this helps you as much as it did me!
