About this product
You don't have to cook twice.
Starting solids doesn't have to mean becoming a short-order cook with a separate menu for the baby. In Pull Up a High Chair, registered nurse and first-time mom Breeana Chaurasiya, RN, MSN, shares a calmer, saner approach to your baby's first year of eating: cook one meal, set aside a portion for the baby, and let everyone eat together at the same table.
Grounded in current guidance from the AAP, CDC, and NIAID — and written in plain, reassuring language — this complete guide takes you from the very first spoonful through confident finger foods, with 87 original, baby-safe recipes the whole family will actually want to eat.
Inside you'll find:
• 87 original recipes, from silky first purées to family dinners — each with simple notes on serving safely at 6–8 and 9–12 months
• Clear, practical chapters on readiness, choking safety, introducing the top 9 allergens, and the nutrients that matter most (starting with iron)
• Sample weekly meal plans and a 100+ first-foods checklist to help you offer wide variety before the first birthday
• A multicultural table: American classics, Indian favorites, Asian-inspired dishes, and griddle meals
• Troubleshooting for picky days, gagging, and constipation — plus printable trackers and a first-foods journal to fill in
Whether you lean toward purées, baby-led weaning, or a mix of both, Pull Up a High Chair gives you the confidence to skip the stress (and the second meal) and enjoy this messy, wonderful stage together.
