From the founders of Baby-Led Weaning: This is the authoritative guide
to starting solid foods at your child's pace--as they start the
transition away from breastmilk or formula as early as 6 months--with no
stress, no fuss, and no mush!
Ten years ago, Baby-Led Weaning ended the myth that babies need to be
spoon-fed purées. In fact, at about six months, most babies are ready to
discover solid food for themselves. Today, baby-led weaning (BLW) is a
global phenomenon--and this tenth anniversary edition of the definitive
guide explains all its benefits:
- Baby participates in family meals right from the start, and learns to
love a variety of foods.
- Nutritious milk feedings continue while Baby transitions to solids at
his or her own pace.
- By self-feeding, Baby develops hand-eye coordination, chewing
skills--and confidence!
Plus, this edition is updated with the latest research on allergy
prevention and feeding Baby safely, a guide to using BLW at daycare, and
much more. Here is everything you need to know about teaching your child
healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
