Everything you need to know about baby-led weaning - the latest buzz in parenting circles - from leading health visitor Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett

The fully updated and revised edition of Baby-led Weaning is a practical and authoritative guide to introducing solid food, enabling your child to grow up a happy and confident eater. It shows parents why baby-led weaning makes sense and gives them the confidence to trust their baby's natural skills and instincts.

Filled with practical tips for getting started and the low-down on what to expect, Baby-led Weaning explodes the myth that babies need to be spoon-fed and shows why self-feeding from the start is the healthiest way for your child to develop. Your baby is allowed to decide how much they want to eat, how to eat it and to experiment with everything at their own pace.

Baby-led weaning is a common-sense, safe, easy and enjoyable approach to feeding your baby. No more purées and weaning spoons, and no more mealtime battles. Simply let your baby feed himself healthy family food.

Praise for Baby-led Weaning

[Baby-led weaning] makes life so much easier

The Times

could radically simplify infant feeding

Daily Telegraph

I see many happy children, who choose their own food independently and eat at their own pace

Stefan Kleintjes, paediatric dietitian

It sounds like common sense: after all, would you want to be strapped into a high chair and force-fed spoon after spoon of bland vegetables? It's surely much more exciting to be able to exercise a bit of control over your diet

Guardian

the benefits are great

Independent
