I’m thinking about starting solids with my first daughter and was recommended this book by a fellow new mom. Since I know next to nothing about this process, I found a lot of this information helpful and informative. I appreciated the focus on natural methods and following your baby’s natural skill development while introducing solid foods and weaning from milk. The Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) approach made sense to me prior to starting the book, and even more sense once I finished.
I did find the NUMEROUS anecdotes and stories a little repetitive and overwhelming. Possibly following one or two families journeys would have been more effective? Sometimes they were helpful, but there definitely could have been like 75% less of them.
As an unfortunate sugar fanatic, I also appreciated the basic nutritional information included for healthy eating for the whole family. I finished the book feeling quite hopeful about mealtimes for both me and my daughter in the future! Because I don’t know any other resources, I think this one is pretty decent for exploring the BLW approach!
