Feeding Tiny Bellies: Over 100 Baby-Led Weaning, Toddler, and Family Recipes: A Cookbook

Love love love this recipe book! It comes with some great education in the beginning about Baby Led Weaning and grocery list tips, as well as a cute intro to her own family. The recipes are all so yummy and so easy to make! These have been a big hit for the whole family, and now I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to cook for the week.

I can’t get enough of the recipes by Lily! I first found her on Pintrest and after trying a few I was hooked and purchased this book. EVERY PARENT MUST GET THIS BOOK! IT’S THE BEST ONE OUT THERE! What I love so much is that the recipes are practical for busy parents and provide a healthy mix of nourishing ingredients so you know your little one is getting the foods they need to thrive. There’s no excuse to get fast food when these recipes are so simple and quick. There’s also always instructions on making ahead and freezing which is a game changer during the busy weekdays. The pages have beautiful images and presentment ideas in them. Not always needed with ever kiddo, but with my son, it was really helpful with getting him to want to eat. I have as much creativity as a rock so the images went a long way for us. My son had significant feeding challenges he’s since overcome with the help of feeding therapy and I found that the Feeding Tiny Bellies recipes were ones that my son loved and could be prepared in a way he could safely eat. I’m embarrassed to say how many other cook books I purchased through the feeding frenzy year with my son, but this was the gold standard and became the only one I used. We’ve tried almost all the recipes and there isn’t a single bad one. You can tell that Lily puts the kind of love into all her recipes and that comes from being a mom. I can’t say enough about this recipe book and just wish I had found it sooner. Can’t wait for the new school lunches one to come out!

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.

I bought the Kindle version of this book and I love it so much that I am going to buy a physical copy as well. The recipes are healthy, yummy, easy-to-follow, and practical; the photos throughout are colorful and helpful; and the additional information provided in this book is great as well. I have been following the feedingtinybellies account on Instagram for quite some time now, and this book is a really nice addition to the tutorials and reels that I have bookmarked. Congratulations to the author on the birth of her fourth son by the way, and many blessings to her family!

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.

We LOVE this cookbook. The food tastes amazing and the recipes are simple. This has been a lifesaver with our four year old and ten month old. One of the best purchases I have ever made. My husband agrees!!

Put this on your baby registry right now. And if you have a friend who is expecting a baby and they don't have it on their registry, buy it for them. I would recommend this to any parent. This is a recent book so it wasn't around for my first - I wish it was. It would have SAVED MY SANITY. I think my favorite thing about this is that the ingredients are pantry staples. Seriously. I have flipped through this cookbook and thought "Wow that sounds great, wait- I can make this right now!!" And then my second favorite thing is that these recipes are actually delicious. I wanted this book so I can have baby safe options for a baby who likes grown up food and feed my toddler at the same time. All to find out that these snacks are awesome. I doubled a recipe just so I can eat some for me. Easy, minimal prep, accessible ingredients, delicious, healthy - what are you waiting for? Buy it. Lily knows what's up. She knows what parents REALLY need in a cookbook.

Great easy and delicious recipes for the whole family!

I liked the fact that there are many recipes that are simple and quick to do, meaning that I can do at least *something* while also chasing my toddler. I simply cannot do anything too complex or time-consuming and this book saves me every day. I also like that the majority of recipes include ingredients that are common in my region (Central Europe). Not many cookbooks from English-speaking world do that. Also, it is common knowledge that each recipe MUST have a picture of a finished dish, which this cookbook does. And boy, it really helps to see a good looking dish, it motivates me to start cooking. The pictures also help me to navigate when I am in a hurry and need to find a specitic recipe.

This book has a great variety of quick and easy recipes that I’d be happy to use and eat along with my kid! A LOT of great information about feeding in general. It has great tips for a balanced meal and even has a sample meal plan for the week. Lots of very useable information and very well organized book.

10/10 Would recommend this cook book! It's absolutely amazing, my 8 month old loves so many of these receipes as well as my husband. Would highly suggest starting with this cookbook. Thank you Lily 🙏

Amazing book.

Beautiful, well laid out book. Easy recipes that don't break the bank and are similar enough to make grocery shopping easy.
