Simple & Safe Baby-Led Weaning: How to Integrate Foods, Master Portion Sizes, and Identify Allergies

I absolutely loved this book for getting started. I think it's very accessible and provides enough information to help understand the concepts of baby-led feeding/weaning and for the first month of starting solids with my little one, it was something I picked up and referenced constantly in the kitchen. If you are looking for a deep dive behind the science, history of baby feeding, and the psychological, social, and motor development aspects of this approach, then I would recommend the seminal book on the topic. For context, I am a psychologist and a neuroscientist, and even as someone values the deep-dive science of the seminal texts, I still found this accessible guide to be the one that actually got me into the kitchen and helped me feel confident enough to get my baby started!

Really helpful, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand reference for starting baby on solids/baby-led weaning. Great book!!

This book offers the science behind baby led weaning. Realistic meal plans, information about nutrition in each food. How to safely serve baby regarding size, allergens, and foods to avoid. Provides a hardcopy measuring tool, which is a convenient quick reference for busy parents. Unfortunately, I didn’t find myself using this book as often as I thought I would because a lot of this information has recently been posted to TikTok and other social media platforms

This helps me a lot to look for what I wanted instead of googling. I kept this in my kitchen and used it 1-2 times a day during feeding.

This is a great book for any parents starting out with baby led weaning. It covers three main topics I think parents are most concerned about when it’s time to start solids: 1) choking vs gagging 2) introducing allergens and 3) how to properly cut and serve food to baby. It is a fun and short read as well. It helped me to not feel so nervous about BLW and to realize that there are so many easy ways to incorporate baby in meal times with the rest of the family. A lot of the advice in the book is very straightforward and common sense, but it helps to reinforce that from professionals. Now my baby is 8 month old and has been on solids since around 5 months. I’ve found it’s so easy to just make a modified version of what we are already eating to give to baby and this book tells you how to do that. I definitely recommend and will be passing this book onto a friend of mine who wants to do BLW.

This is an excellent book for anyone who is starting their little one on solids! Has great references, very easy to read and has photos to easily see what to look for. Very colorful and cheerful to get you excited about the next step!

If you are looking for a deep dive into infant nutrition science, this might feel a bit light. However, if you want a practical, confidence-boosting guide that you can flip through in one sitting to ensure you're prepping food safely, it is a solid addition to your kitchen counter

I liked it because it explains how to cut fruit and food for your baby when you start complementary feeding.

Great information, but easy to read and follow!

Lo compre porque la pediatra me dijo que me informara sobre la alimentación BLW y me ha funcionado muy bien con mi bebé

I purchased a few BLW books and this book was the best. It is easy to read, practical and informative. It provides guidance on how to cut/serve food to a baby new to BLW through to toddler age. It gave me confidence to start the process. Bub is thriving and loving his food. I highly recommend this book

Für dieses Buch bin ich sehr dankbar - es hilft vor allem, wenn man sich mit dem Thema "Baby led weaning" kurz und sachlich auseinander setzen möchte. Die wichtigste Begriffe sind erklärt und gut umschrieben. Für mich ging es hauptsächlich auch darum ein paar Tipps zu passenden Nahrungsmitteln zu erhalten und in welcher Form diese angeboten werden können. Sehr angenehm empfinde ich, dass dieses Buch eher als Ratgeber genutzt werden kann und nicht belehrend wirkt, da es bei diesem Thema weltweit unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen gibt. Als weiteren Pluspunkt sehe ich die Illustration durch Fotos/Grafiken - dadurch wird das geschriebene deutlicher und prägnanter. Meinerseits gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung für dieses Buch.

Nice and easy understandable ideas for baby led weaning and misconceptions which are related to blw..go for it.must read book
