2.0

A little bit dated, as some of the thinking regarding allergies and food introductions has changed since it was last updated in 1999. I like that there are chapters for specific nutrients and how to get them, but this whole thing was a tiny bit vegan propaganda-ish for my liking. I mean, every single testamonial in it was parents who were weaning their babies to a vegan diet. Also, I feel like it over-relies on soy a bit, and I try not to do too much soy because of the estrogen issues. I'd love to see a similar book with a more recent publication date and less pressure to go vegan.
