I’ve actually got 3 of Dr Julie’s books, & recently bought 2x The Nourished Baby as a babyshower gift for 2 of my friends.
Cathryn F.
Would highly recommend this book for moms wanting to give their baby a quality start to their food journey. Great insight using current research. Feel more calm and capable I’m feeding my baby nutritious foods that are easy on the gut and powerful for brain and body development. Thank you so much!

Products arrived with gift without hassle. Was kept informed about the delivery process via email frequently (as it was slightly delayed)

Was expecting more recipes
Desna H.
Thankyou so much my Daughter is loving your book with her 6mth old baby boy
Beautiful book and very helpful for a new Mum
Anna E.
Would recommend this book if you have no idea where to start and would like to do a bit of both of the approaches. It also has lots of easy to understand science about food for babies and a helpful list to follow of what to introduce and the allergens and how many times to feed per day etc. loved it! Second book I’ve got (nourished bump was my first!).
Jayne A.
Highly recommend! Saved me wading through all the conflicting information online. Now confident with starting solids!
Ben D.
Have heard good things, can’t wait to read this!
Marcalla W.
Great read, I'm learning so much about nutrition! I also love how evidence-based it is.
Definitely worth getting in preparation for solids!
Rochelle E.
As a first time mum, this book was my bible! Everything in it made sense to me and it gave me confidence to start my little one's food journey. I recommend it to everyone and have bought more as gifts.
Sophie F.
Inhaled the book within a few days, my son (first child) is nearly 6 months old (4 months corrected as he was prem) and I had absolutely no idea how to navigate the introduction of solids. After reading this guide I now don't only feel ready and supported but excited and empowered to support my little love through this next phase of his life. Highly, highly recommend to all parents first time or otherwise.
Ellen B.
I've started my boy on solids and I use this book as a guide. I love the science and factual information provided and the fact that it isn't only just about feeding solids but many more things you dont think about. So far my boy loves the homemade food I'm giving him and it's going so well.
Gillian B.
I loved learning about introducing solids from Dr Julie. I am glad I purchased this book early and could find a step by step guide as well as the science behind the methods. I hope more people can become informed and learn the importance of starting their child's food journey.
Megan H.
A really detailed book, great for understanding the "why" before the "how" in relation to starting solids. We had a baby who had antibiotics twice in his first month of life so interesting to see the focus on gut health and really guarding that for the remainder of his first year! I liked the holistic approach as well, especially regarding family and getting everyone on board first.
Catherine B.
Loved this book. I was not looking forward to starting solids (now I'm glad I didn't rush into it at 4 months like some of my enthusiastic mum friends). Now I'm hyped, equipped and itching for my boy to turn 6 months (2 weeks to go!). Thanks Dr Julie!
Sophie B.
What a fantastic read! I have learnt so much and have recommended to all my baby mum friends! I feel so much more relaxed now about the starting solids journey and really looking forward to applying what I’ve learnt
Annaliese R.
I bought a copy for a friend’s daughter who has a 5 month old and is feeling bewildered about introducing solids. My own daughter found this book invaluable when at the same stage with her babies
Rachel B.
First time mum and was recommended the book to assist with starting my little boy on solids. Half way through and very interesting and informative. Thank you
Candy W.
Currently nap trapped and having a read while I have the chance. Didn’t do with my 3y old but I am with my little one, loving the science aspect of your book, will also be talking a bit more about this approach within my job, that is how I came across you in the first place was from a lot of parents I work with. Thank you :)
Trudy H.
Every puree recipe I have made my baby has loved! So far that's 5 out of 5. Excited to keep going and expand her taste experiences. Feels so good buying fresh and knowing exactly what my baby is eating. Thankyou
Nicole T.
I purchased this book after friends of mine highly recommended Dr Julie’s ‘take’ on starting solids and honestly it’s made the whole venture so much easier to understand and navigate. A really good easy read for tired mums too!
tina c.
All good , good book
Amelia A.
Absolutely love this book. I used it with my first and at not even two years old, he has a more adventurous palette than his adult uncle! I am re-reading this before I begin this journey with my second, and hoping it will have similar results.
Maree O.
Great book - especially the meal plan, made it super easy to know what to start my six month on for his food journey. Great tips and current thinking on starting solids.
Sara R.
Great book! Very helpful and packed full of knowledge and great tips.
Rebecca D.
An awesome book! Super informative and easy to follow. This is my third baby and I will certainly be doing things differently this time round!
Aparna S.
Very informative
Michelle A.
Great service and lovely helpful book,first one I have purchased.Im sure there will be more to come.
Steph O.
This book is the absolute best for starting solids - it was my bible! I feel great knowing that I gave my baby a good start with her nutrition. Absolutely love the week by week guideline on the foods to introduce too, it was so nice to have something to follow
Jen S.
Loving the book so far! It’s giving me confidence for when my baby girl is ready for solids
Ilona L.
What a wonderful book to help you muddle through all the conflicting information that is out there. I have started to follow the recommendations and pulled back on the fruits for now and I've been lucky that my little girl has taken to solids without any issues. She has definitely shown some prefences but hasn't refused anything we have given her. I also didn't realise that baby cereals were so detrimental so I am holding off in their introduction for as long as possible. It is a great guide for first time mums and those who may not be but are struggling. I wish that Plunket would adopt some of these recommendations.
Clare C.
Great book full of very thought provoking points. I'm glad I read this before starting our girl on solids. Worth the read as you can build from the theory to make meals for your baby and avoid ingredients that they are not ready for. If you're looking for recipes, the baby and toddler cookbook is for you (which is also great)
Sharla C.
This is the third copy of this book I’ve purchased! I first bought it for myself and I found it so useful, particularly because I really had no idea where to start with introducing solids. I found it super easy to read and understand! It also provided a clear trustworthy source of research which isn’t always easy to ascertain from Dr.Google! Now it’s my go to baby shower gift. ❤️ Highly recommend
Gina D.
Great book! Super simple to read with plenty of great tips and research. Feel much more confident starting solids.
Jacinta M.
Fantastic book
Katie v.
Was a bit lost with all the information on solids and the amount of options available at the supermarket so ordered this book to help make sense of it all! Was a great read with a lot of information that I can refer back to. I assumed it would have a bit on 'next steps', but it gives a idea on how to start and what to feed. Homemade food for bubs really is the way to go as much as possible and now I've started a bit it's pretty easy too! Thanks Dr Julie for the information and encouraging parents to make smart choices - we will be staying away from packaged food as much as we can!
Nicola B.
I am so grateful to have found this book and Dr Julie! I was struggling so much with my little one and solids but this book has been absolutely AMAZING! I only wish I’d found it sooner 11/10 would recommend reading this to prepare for the solids journey. It’s been the most insightful and helpful thing I’ve read as so much of the information out there is contradicting. It’s such a well thought out book with clear and easy to understand information and explanations about babies feeding journey!
Rujuta D.
Hi,
My baby is going to be 6 months old next week. So I ordered Dr. Julie's The Nourished Baby book for how to start solids and other things. And now I'm reading this book and I found it very interesting and helpful. It's not only about solids but baby's health in first year and other health related stuff.
I would strongly recommend it to first time parents.
Thank you
Tara v.
One of the best books I’ve read. I wish I had read this book months ago before starting my boy on solids. It was recommended to me from a friend and I didn’t think i would get the time to read it with my little one. I read it cover to cover in a few days. I’m a first time mum with a 9 month old little boy. I’m a registered nurse and i live with my mum who is also an RN. I am the youngest of my mums 7 children and I’ve always just thought mum knows far more than i do when it comes to babies and nutrition. I am now trying to re-educate my mum on this topic. It is going surprisingly well lol. There is so much conflicting information out there it’s hard to know what to do & you only want to do what’s best for your babies. Thank you Dr Julie for sharing this book with us. Kia ora!
Kate M.
Love love love this book. So nourished he’s having a great sleep… just jokes - he’s still solely on breast milk. A great well explained book that’s simple and easy to comprehend. Keeping life simple and going back to basics. Bring on foooood Xx
Charlotte c.
The customer service I received was amazing. I already have this book and my mum brain ordered it again (instead of the baby and toddler recipe book). The team here fully refunded the incorrect book and gave me discount again for the correct book (I originally got discount on the incorrect book). Delivery was fast and communication was amazing. Could you ask for anything better!
Nicola B.
When you are a new parent and aren't sure where to start, this is the ultimate guide. Genuine, easy advice to make the whole starting solids process so much less daunting. Thank you
Natasha S.
This is my 3rd book purchased and I love them all!
Amazing information!!!! Thank you so much!
Liva S.
Im a first time mum, and I heard about Julie’s book from other mums from a Facebook group that Im a part of, and as I was already started the solid journey (2/3weeks in it() with my little man I was still confused of when to give/what to give and just the actual understanding about what my baby would need. I find that nowadays there are so many different advice/opinions on how/what/when to give baby solid food, I thought I’ll buy the book and read it for myself and maybe I’ll then have a better understanding about starting solids. Buying Julie’s book was the best decision I made! Absolutely loved reading it. I learnt so many new things like food in general, the pouch food, baby rice cereal that I wasn’t aware of!
I already bought another copy of the Nourished baby as a gift for my friend that is expecting a baby herself. Julie’s books are definitely worth a read and a great present for new mums, either as a baby shower gift or any other occasion!
Thanks you Julie.
YIFANG T.
A very good read, fact based and easy to follow!
Sarah C.
Such a great book with so much information! Not only does it give you great tips as to which foods to start with, but also explains why.
Halie B.
I absolutely love this book! Starting our solids journey was very daunting and Dr Julie has given me such good tools to provide the best for our son. Thank you for such an amazing, insightful and educational book
Becki O.
Amazing customer service, arrived so quickly! Also such a great resource for every mother. I'm a first time mum and found it so helpful and supportive.
Jodi W.
Interesting book, I love the science behind feeding babies
Suivaaia P.
This has been the guide for me & my husband as a first time parents ! To this day we are going and forth to the food for guidance . We felt a sense of confidence and peace knowing that our baby was eating well after reading this book ! We bought one for a family member who also loves it as well. She event attended a seminar as well of Dr. Bhosales - very thankful for your research, expertise, guidance & experience poured out into this book. I’ve ordered another book and will be ordering the norished toddler book as well. Worth the investment:) very thankful for my friend who recommended this in the first place
Sam M.
I purchased the nourished baby book before starting solids with my 6 month old. I was feeling a bit nervous on where to start. This book has made me feel a lot more comfortable with starting my solids journey. It’s informative while also easy to read. I’ll be buying the baby and toddler recipe book very soon.
Megan E.
I was so anxious about the thought of starting solids. It’s my first baby and as much as you try not to, you still worry you will get things wrong. This book provided clarity and reassurance on how to start the solids journey. I will definitely be purchasing The Nourished Toddler when the time comes.

Bought as a gift for my daughter - she’s been wanting this book for a while so very happy
Debbie M.
Have brought this for my daughter for Christmas she is a first time new mum to a precious wee prem boy. She has good sense of nutrition being a diabetic, but this book helps give her ideas and confidence she is doing the best for her wee man. Thank you
Christina J.
Such a fantastic book that was recommended to me by a few of my friends. Diffently worth every cent. Thank you for just being you ❤️.
Emma M.
This book has made me more confident starting solids! Love the research that’s been made prior writing it. Thank you
Jamie-lee D.
Love the research that has gone into this book! Very much appreciate the step by step guide and scientific based approach to introducing solids
Susanne C.
I love this book. It was so easy to read, follow and understand. I heard about no grains for the first year from another doctor who just mentioned in a seminar so when my friend recommend this book and I could actually read about it and get a better break down of why it made sense.
I've also seen other mums struggle with constipation with there babies and it all comes back to the gut.
I feel so much better knowing what I'm feeding my baby is good for her. Thank you Julie
Mary D.
great to have the plan and evidence to get started with solids for our daughter
Sarah H.
Great info and easy to utilise daily
Carly M.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to just pick up and read and digest a few pages during the early stages of introducing solids. I felt more equipped in being able to provide my boy with nourishing solids and enjoyable food experiences.
Louise J.
As a first time Mama with zero know how about how to go about solids, this book was amazing! Really great explanations of how the gut works and what effects food has on it. Simple but effective meal & routine plans that gave me a great place to start with foods that make sense!
Morgan C.
Great book! Everything makes complete sense. I go back to it often and even have photos of some key tables and info for easy access. Onto week two of solids and so far so good
Kate E.
A great practical guide to starting solids. I found the week by week planner took all the guess work out of food choice . I recommend it to everyone I see .
Keira J.
The bibs are excellent quality, fit really well, great colours and the service was friendly &fast!
Elisabeth H.
Great book packed full of good information that supports excellent decision making when introducing solids.
sam s.
This has been my bible! I really was struggling being a first time mum and knowing what and how to introduce solids. This has helped me so much and I really feel excited by this new start.
Kelly L.
Could not recommend this book highly enough!!
Being a new Mum, knowing that I needed to start my little boy on solids soon, and not having the ‘know how’ - this book has been my saviour! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr Julie, your knowledge has been SO helpful and has put my mind at ease.
The Nourished Baby has not only been super easy to read (as a tired sleep deprived mum) but also put into practice! I know that my growing boy is getting the vital nutrients he needs as we move through into this next phase together. I definitely have a deeper understanding of what he needs and am excited to use the week by week food introduction guide.
Sue L.
Great book! I have learnt sooo much already and am only half way through. Haven't started solids yet, but I feel so much more confident about the journey ahead now :)
Thanks
Laura R.
So useful.
Nichole R.
I enjoyed this book so much, I felt starting solids was sooo overwhelming and this book was just what I needed to get started and give me an idea with what foods I need and how and when to feed my daughter to give her the best journey starting out eating!
