Weaning your baby on to solid foods is one of the most important
milestones during the early months of parenthood, and Gina's expert
advice on weaning makes a baby's transition from milk to solid foods as
straightforward as possible. Successful weaning establishes a pattern of
healthy eating in babies, avoiding the pitfalls of fussy eaters
restricted to a narrow diet. In this revised edition of The Contented
Little Baby Book of Weaning, Gina includes the latest recommendations
regarding breastfeeding and the introduction of solid food from the
World Health Organization and the UK Department of Health. She aims to
take the worry out of weaning, guiding parents step-by-step through the
process, and shares the insight and expertise gained from personally
helping to care for more than 300 babies, and advising thousands more
parents via her consultation service and website. Included in this
revised edition is helpful info on the best time of day to introduce the
first solid food; which foods to introduce and at what age; getting the
balance of milk feeds and solids right; how to eliminate night feeds
once solids are introduced; the importance of introducing finger foods
at the right age; extended parent-friendly feeding plans to take parents
step-by-step through the different stages; newly developed rotating meal
planners for older children up to the end of the first year; and brand
new questions and answers giving the most up-to-date advice to parents.
The Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning is the definitive guide to
ensuring babies eat well now and as they grow up and is as relevant and
helpful to those parents who have not previously followed Gina's
routines.
