Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning: Your One-Stop Guide to Contented Feeding

"Like many people who have not read her books, I approached a Gina Ford book with caution - but the things said about her writing are not borne out by this book. I found it very useful as a good guide to when and how to introduce solids. The recipes are very quick and easy and my baby likes them. As with any advice book you need to apply your own common sense and not get hung up on following it to the letter. I had started weaning my baby and was all at sea with when to give her food, how much etc and this book has set me straight. I would definitely recommend it."

"This book was so helpful for something that should be so easy. It helped an awful lot that my daughter was on her routines anyway, and I don't think it really accommodated the fact that people might not be, but apart from that, it was so helpful. Just things like recipes, and meal plans, and what foods when. The case studies were also interesting and would be helpful, I think. They were examples of children with various problems when it came to eating, and what Gina Ford did to help rectify it. The only other thing I can think of, is the lack of portion size examples. "

"I found the book not useful at all. Gina Ford's approach is totally inflexible and rigid.

And what do you do if the baby refuses the solids as my baby did? This book does not offer any advise and help with a baby refusing solids

"This book is excellent and gives clear guidance to Mums on what to do when weaning your baby. As a first time Mum, this book answered loads of my questions from what consistency purées should be to what quantities you should try with your baby. I used the very precise timetable and meal planners as a guide and adapted it to meet the needs of my baby."

"This book has been an absolute revelation. Easy step by step guides as to introduce various foods and fantastic recipes that can be adapted for the whole family.Also a very handy A - Z index of foods, and great case studies for any hiccups that can happen. My Little boy (however not so little thanks to this book)eats everything put in front of him and enjoys a fantastic, healthy, varied diet... in fact a lot better diet than his parents. For a family who are worried about weaning would certainly recommend this as their guide. But as with all of Gina's books, should be used as a GUIDE. That way you cant go wrong."
