Weaning my little ones was a joyous, messy and occasionally testing
experience! This book aims to help you through the next development
phase: introducing your baby to the colourful, flavourful, wonderful
world of food.
The thought of weaning can be daunting to the most self-assured mums and
dads. I know I felt that way, even with my third! But while every baby
is different, one thing is the same for all parents: the importance of
serving them delicious, nutritious dishes with minimal fuss and maximum
benefits.
There is no one-size-fits all approach and there are decisions to be
made: spoon-feeding purees or baby-led weaning? What equipment don't you
need and where should you spend extra? With so much contradictory advice
out there, I wanted to provide a go-to guide that arms you with
everything you need to know as your baby starts on solids.
You'll read about the basics of good nutrition; techniques; equipment;
ages and stages (what they can have, and when). I'll also share my go-to
recipes for the key stages in the first 15 months, developed over the
process of weaning my three children. These are simple, easy-to-follow
meals and plans that require minimal prep time, make the most of your
ingredients and won't break the bank. I've also provided recipes for the
months and years that follow, including sections on feeding the entire
family (the ultimate goal!) and the perfect things to serve at party
time.
There will be testing moments but there will be joyous ones too - I'll
never forget the look on my children's faces when they first tasted baby
rice! So take a deep breath, trust your intuition and dive in!
