Baby-Led Weaning

Now completely updated and expanded, this is the authoritative guide to baby-led weaning! Forget baby purees and spoon-feeding-there's an easier, more natural way for parents to introduce their baby to solid foods. By about six months-when babies can sit up unassisted, grab things, and "munch" on them-they are ready to join the family at the kitchen table and discover food for themselves. Now, ten years after the first publication of this guide, baby-led weaning is a global movement. Here originators of the concept Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett update their guidelines on baby-led weaning, recap its many benefits, and offer parents all-new research on how to feed their little one. Baby-led weaning is:
- Good for baby's development and lifelong health.
- More convenient for parents than purees.
- Just as safe as spoon-feeding.
