First Foods and Weaning (National Childbirth Trust Guides)

This text aims to answer all your questions about weaning your baby and providing a good variety of the right foods. Written by a qualified nutritionist and mother of two, it includes a wide range of simple recipes as well as time-saving tips, ways to prevent fussy eating, and information on the importance of diet and what is nutritious and suitable for your baby (what's good for adults isn't necessarily good for babies). While this book isn't about weaning, it actively encourages mothers to continue giving breast or formula milk to their babies together with solids. It explains how to know when your baby is ready to move to solids and discusses vegetarian babies and those with special dietary needs and offers tips on food safety and basic hygiene along with tips from other parents. There is also an at a glance weaning calendar and some basic recipes.
