Baby-Led Weaning, Completely Updated and Expanded Tenth Anniversary Edition: The Essential Guide--How to Introduce Solid Foods and Help Your Baby to G, Paperback

Description

Baby-led weaning is the healthy, natural way to start your baby on solid foods--no stress, no fuss, no mush

Ten years ago, Baby-Led Weaning ended the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed pur es. 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.
