The Baby Food Issue
Your complete infant feeding guide.
by Babble
August 10, 2009
Few things about new parenthood are scarier than the realization that you are responsible for every calorie your newborn ingests. Regardless of whether you breast- or bottle-feed, that's a lot of pressure! In this issue, sponsored by Similac, we bring you everything you need to know about nourishing your baby, from the truth about BPA (scarier than we thought!) to the very best sippy cups and bottles on the markets, from videos of cooking show host Tamra Davis to exhaustively researched info pages on prenatal vitamins, breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Our basic message: relax; it's well within your power to keep your baby happy and well-fed, and to make sure that you have time to grab a meal too! — The Babble Editors
