Baby-led weaning - Gill Rapley

From the founders of Baby-Led Weaning: This is the authoritative guide to starting solid foods at your child's pace-as theystart the transitionaway from breastmilk or formula as early as 6 months-with no stress, no fuss, and no mush!

Ten years ago, Baby-Led Weaning ended the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed pures. In fact, at about six months, most babies are ready to discover solid food for themselves. Today, baby-led weaning (BLW) is a global phenomenon-and this tenth anniversary edition of the definitive guide explains all its benefits:

• Baby participates in family meals right from the start, and learns to love a variety of foods.
• Nutritious milk feedings continue while Baby transitions to solids at his or her own pace.
• By self-feeding, Baby develops hand-eye coordination, chewing skills-and confidence!

Plus, this edition is updated with the latest research on allergy prevention and feeding Baby safely, a guide to using BLW at daycare, and much more. Here is everything you need to know about teaching your child healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
