Brought to you by Penguin.
The definitive guide to baby-led weaning from the paediatric professionals trusted by millions of parents around the world.
Led by a multidisciplinary team of Board-certified paediatric feeding professionals, Solid Starts has debunked the myth that ‘baby food’ is necessary and transformed the way that millions of parents around the world feed their babies. Now, with their debut book, you can follow their research-backed advice to wean your baby on the food that you eat – with some simple safety modifications.
Introducing solid foods can be both exciting and intimidating, especially for first-time parents but what is more delightful than watching the face of a baby who has been given a taste of something they find delicious?
In this book you will learn:
· How cultivating curiosity and building trust at the table is just as important as the food
· How letting baby grab, hold and eat food on their own can decrease the risk of choking
· How sharing foods you like has nutritional, developmental, and psychological benefits
· Techniques and guidance for each development window, from 4months to early toddlerhood
· The latest evidence on choking, safety, food allergens, nutrition, and infant feeding
Whether you’re new to weaning or you want to try a different approach, Solid Starts for Babies is guaranteed to give you the confidence to share your meals and foster healthy eating habits that will set your baby up for a lifetime of mealtime joy.

This book is such a supportive guide for parents who are looking to explore baby led weaning

Finally! An up-to-date resource to guide parents through the minefield that is weaning! This book leaves the reader in no doubt that giving babies a solid start in life is an investment in their future. It will inspire even the most nervous of caregivers to find joy in sharing food whilst teaching their little ones to be independent and adaptable at mealtimes and beyond. In our modern, more fractured society, we must not forget the importance of human connection, especially within our family units. This very concept, where our tables and meals are central to our family connections, is at the core of this book
