Feeding Tiny Bellies: Over 100 Baby-Led Weaning, Toddler, and Family Recipes: A Cookbook Flexibound – October 22, 2024

Pre-ordered and arrived right on time. I've been following this Instagram account since my toddler starting solids and WOW, I was so surprised opening up this package. This is a high quality cookbook with great imagery, easy instructions, and dietary call outs (i.e. Gluten Free, Vegetarian, etc). I cannot wait to dive into this. These recipes are toddler friendly but great for the whole family. I will 100% be gifting this cookbook for 1-yr old birthday parties for parents in the future. If you are a parent who is looking for healthy, easy recipes - look no more! As a working mama, this is THE COOKBOOK!

I have over a dozen baby/toddler cookbooks and this is the best one! The other books mostly sit on my shelf, but I find myself constantly pulling this one out and actually using it. The recipes are healthy, tasty, simple, and perfect for both my preschooler and baby. I appreciate that she has storage notes and helpful tips for each recipe. The pictures are fantastic and I love that the food is photographed on baby/toddler plates with sides, it offers a lot of inspiration for how to serve full balanced meals. It’s clear that lot of care went into thoughtfully developing these recipes for kids and presenting the information for parents. I highly recommend this book!

No exaggeration - I cried tears of joy and relief when I came across "Feeding Tiny Bellies Cookbook" (FTBC). I am the mother of a one-year-old and also a professional who works full-time, and have very little time to spend each day cooking healthy family meals. I became panicked once my daughter's daycare said that she was moving up to a new classroom where she would need packed lunches every day. I scoured the internet and came across so many recipes that seemed to involve endless ingredients - most of which I don't have - and countless steps (read time-consuming). When I came across Lily's blog, and then this book, I literally cried tears of relief. This book contains TONs of recipes (for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, sides, snacks) using a lot of the same ingredients that you would find around your kitchen. That, coupled with the fact that most of the recipes involve a handful of steps. The recipes are healthy (think single ingredients) but are tasty and flavorful for both children and adults. Trust me, my husband usually recoils at the sight of vegetables but so far, he has loved everything I have made from FTBC - especially the taco chili and chicken fajitas. My baby too! I have never been a big cook, but have tried to learn now that I have children. This book is a God-send. I have cooked more in the past two months since I purchased this book than I have in my entire life. That's how easy it is! Lily also gives you detailed instructions on how to reheat food if stored in the refrigerator or freezer, which is super helpful in case you want to make a surplus of meals to freeze. No exaggeration - this book is life-changing. And this is coming from someone who had maybe a total of 2-3 cookbooks in her life. I am not a cookbook person. But I find myself coming back to FTBC almost every day and definitely every week when I look for meal ideas for the following week. With this book, eating healthy, tasty meals does not have to be hard or expensive. This book has something for every palate. So if you're contemplating buying this book - just buy it! I promise you that you won't regret it. I only hope she comes out with more cookbooks.

The media could not be loaded. What a great book, just received it yesterday and I'm so excited to start using it. My child is almost 6 but this book covers many ages. There are over 100 breakfast, dinner, snacks and desserts. The quality of the print is great, the book is easy to read and educational. It's great for gifting new parents and seasoned parents. So happy and you will be too.

We love this cookbook! At least one recipe from this book is used daily in our home. The food is all kid-friendly, healthy(er) than what we’d normally buy premade and pretty simple and quick! A lot of the breakfast, lunch and snack items are bite-sized, which my toddlers LOVE! Mini form is the best way to get them excited to try new things, and these recipes are full of fruits and veggies. Highly, highly recommend!

As a first-time mom, I was feeling overwhelmed when it came to introducing solid foods to my baby. I started using Feeding Tiny Bellies when my daughter was 6 months old, and it has been a lifesaver ever since. I’ve printed and stored the recipes in a binder, often mentioning to my husband how amazing it would be if they were available in a cookbook.What I love most about these recipes is that they cater to various dietary preferences and offer storage options—something that’s incredibly helpful for a busy working mom like me. Meal prep time is limited during the week, so being able to prepare and store nutritious meals in advance is key. Plus, knowing that I'm reducing my daughter’s exposure to the dyes and additives found in store-bought meals gives me peace of mind.If you haven’t purchased the Feeding Tiny Bellies cookbook yet, I highly recommend it! It’s an incredible resource, offering simple, healthy meals for little ones while making mealtime less stressful for parents. Whether you’re just starting with solids or looking for family-friendly meals, this book will make meal prep easy and give you confidence in the nutrition you're providing.Feeding Tiny Bellies has been the most helpful resource in ensuring I provide my child with wholesome meals. The variety of recipes and thoughtful planning make it easy for me to feel confident in the nutrition I’m offering my family.
