Review quote
"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 "could radically simplify infant feeding" Daily Telegraph "[Baby-led weaning] makes life so much easier" The Times "I see many happy children, who choose their own food independently and eat at their own pace" Stefan Kleintjes, paediatric dietitian "the benefits are great" Independent

Our customer reviews
Gill provides a huge amount of information to support why baby led weaning is a natural and preferable way to feed your baby. Her statements are supported by evidence, including her own research. This book is great for people who trust their babies ability to experiment with food, self regulate intake (therefore no overeating) and learn at their own pace. Highly recommended!!! Although originally developed with breast fed babies, this book suggests that all babies can benefit from self feeding.show more
