Baby-led Weaning: Helping Your Baby to Love Good Food

"A must for all parents. BLW is fun and messy but above all has made me realise just how amazing babies really are. My little one is just 6 monts and after 3 weeks of puree, spoons and neither of us really enjoying ourselves it was time to put the blender, ice cube trays etc away!! Mealtimes are now so easy my baby loves exploring food, breadsticks and humus are a real winner. This book gave me the confidence I needed to trust in the decisions my little one makes, we both enjoy eating together... the same food! "

"This book is a must for all parents. We did baby led weaning with our daughter and loved every minute of the process. My daughter loves her food and is always happy to try new things. She also has amazing fine motor skills and I put this down to her being able to fine tune them daily while feeding herself.

Forget purees, 'baby' food, measuring and seperate meals, invite your child to join you at your table eating what you eat and you will all benefit from it!

This book is well written and very imforative, if you buy any weaning book make sure its this one!"

"My daughter (eight months)has refused to be spoon fed so we have had to take our lead from her and go down the baby led weaning route. I have found the information in the book of great help, it has helped ease my own concerns about how much/little she seems to eat. I recommend baby led weaning and will not even attempt purees next time round. "

"This book is a MUST for anyone with a baby who refuses to spoon feed or wants to allow their baby to set the pace for weaning!

I have a 6 month old baby who refuses to spoon feed but will feed himself wih finger food, however grandparents and health visitors have frowned upon this and criticised me for doing it. This book explains the benefit of allowing a baby to lead the weaning process and empowers you to do things your way! I now have answers to people who criticise this way of feeding and now have mealtimes that are much less stressful.

This book answers all the questions I had about baby led weaning but don't expect recipes - you are encouraged to get baby eating the same meal as the family!

Having read this book I no longer feel like a failure for not having a baby who spoon feeds, although the freezer full of purees that I made can be used as a dip with pitta bread!! I am going to pass the book on to my mother in law to read as she can't get her head around not knowing exactly what is being eaten. I have every confidence that the book will win her round - it explains everything so well!!

Best money I have spent on baby books - Annabel Carmel will only come out for finger food recipes!!!!"
