Cheese Puff Potatoes
When you're cooking baked potatoes for yourself, throw an extra one in the oven to make this for baby. And, if you have a baby who is allergic to eggs, just skip the eggs and double the amount of milk.
Scoop potato out and mash in a bowl. Whip egg in a separate bowl and add to potato mixture. Beat in butter, milk, cheese and add wheat germ. Carefully spoon back into potato shell, and fold a small piece of foil around bottom of potato to prevent leakage. Place in preheated, 350 o oven for 15 minutes. To make ahead, cover and refrigerate without baking. When ready to serve, place uncovered potato in 350 o oven for 20 minutes.
*for older babies
Serves 2-4

Egg Yolk
This is a good way to introduce eggs to your baby (if the pediatrician says you are ready to). Eggs contain all 22 of the amino acids-the building blocks of protein-that we need for new tissues, clotting of blood, and formation of antibodies.
Cold water Mother's milk or formula
Place egg in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer very gently for 15 minutes. Remove and immediately fill pan with running cold water. Let sit in cold water until shell is cool. Crack open, discard the white and mash the yellow yolk with a fork and add a few drops breast milk or formula. Go easy (small amounts of egg for baby) at first to see if any allergies develop.

Peas With A Hint Of Mint
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain, remove the mint, and puree the vegetables in a food mill to get rid of the indigestible husks from the peas. Add water or formula, as needed. In addition to perking up the flavor of the vegetables, mint is well-known carminative, and can help relieve baby's painful gas or colic.

**Many young babies prefer the blandness of a processed cheese like American cheese, even though the unprocessed cheese is better for them. Slowly introduce the unprocessed and remember to buy the white or pale yellow kind--no artificial colors.
