Baby-Led Weaning, Completely Updated and Expanded Tenth Anniversary Edition

Now completely updated and expanded, this is the authoritative guide to baby-led weaning (115,000 copies in print)

Forget baby pur es 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 pur es

- Just as safe as spoon-feeding.
