Writing a book, and would like advice/opinions

[babyonboard]

My friend and I are in the teething stages of composing a book on food for young children. Mainly as an antitode to the miltant nutrition books you find these days.
We want to make it light hearted, realistic, and slightly personal(i.e include our own and other mums experiences)
The intention is to produce the book alongside a website which we will regularly update with information on child friendly restaurants,new 'easy' baby foods etc and a forum.
I would love to hear your thoughts on anything from your own trials and tribulations with feeding your kids, weaning your baby etc, books you've read and what you did/didn't like about them, experiences of allergy, social pressures surrounding food, kids party food etiquette (and what is crazy about it!) etc etc.
Like I say, we are just starting out, so for now I'd just love to hear what you think. Thanks!

I didn't react to the pressure of weaning, my twins wern't ready till they were a good 5mths, and they had baby rice for the first 2 weeks, then I introduced, sweet potatoe by itself, then carrot by itself, I think they were 7 months before they even wanted it and enjoyed it. Each child is so different, my 1st child was weaned by 7 months, he ate anything!

Amongst many other things I didn't like stupid recipes that take hours to do and involve chopping or standing over a stove..how are you supposed to do that with a crawling baby in the other room?!

No idea, no kids yet, but two on the way

Ask me in a year.

for me anything that required a 'mouli' was a no go after an annabel karmel potato and watercress thing (I know I know) that took hours and was rejected instantly - and then I had to clean the bastard thing.

Don't subscribe at all to the notion that chuildren and babies need special food,restaurants,books or menus.

please link to a militant nutrition book

Actually my dts won't eat cooked dinners atm, its just 7oz milk, toast/ham and apple for breaky, Strawberries, grapes, kiwi, tomatoes, peppers, cheese and pate sandwiches for lunch and then I go to work so dh feeds them probably pizza! but I always place food on their plates in shapes, faces or animals etc or just put it on a big dish on table and they help themselves! and have a giggle eating a bears bottom!
