Healthy First Foods for Your Baby
(Lifestyle Alexandria)
by Caitilin Finch
It is important to begin your baby's life with a healthy nutritious diet so that they start as you hope they will go on. Weaning is the transition your baby will make from milk to solid food. It starts at around 4 to 6 months and lasts until about 12 months. From 6 months of age, your baby will need nutrients not available in milk, so by this time it is important that they are introduced to 'real food'.. "Healthy First Foods for your Baby" gives a host of recipes for main meals.

When he fails to come home one night it's the last straw. Sophie wants a divorce. But Mark doesn't. He hasn't been unfaithful, just thoughtless. Desperate not to lose his family, he signs up to the 'School for Husbands', which transforms hopeless spouses into perfect marriage partners.
